The idea with Profar was if the exit velocity he added in 2024 was sustained in 2025 we could expect his offensive gains to be real. His average exit velocity in 2024 was 91.1, which was up from 86.5-87.5 the previous years when he was a very mediocre hitter. Despite his nice numbers in AAA...

Waldrep may be even worse than I feared. I really wish AA would have cashed out on him back when I said he needed to be used as trade bait.

Something must be wrong with Ozuna.

It’s really hard to wrap my mind around how many 600 OPS or worse hitters this roster has. There are 13 position players, and 7 of them hit like pitchers. Literally more than half the hitters on the roster would be bottom 10 hitters in the sport if they qualified. It’s completely ludicrous how...

My god the bottom half of this lineup are pathetic. There’s no possibility this team can win with 4 pitchers batting.

As bad as Harris has been, the other options may very well be worse. It’s hard to overstate just how terrible half the Braves position players really are.

Apparently the rain only bothered elder and the Braves offense.

Time to get Acuna off this wet grass.

Is this really a time you want the most talented hitter in the history of the franchise running around on wet grass with 2 rebuilt knees? I’m thinking this is a good time to rest Ozuna.

So...in other words...hitting coaches don't influence much of anything.

FG currently has the playoff odds at 26%, which seems like a decent enough number to avoid punting the season. However, those odds still have the Braves projected as the 2nd best team in baseball for the rest of the season. I think we all understand that no Sale, Lopez or AJSS in the rotation...

I'm not exactly sure what hitting coaches do at the MLB level, but they have to be the ones responsible for addressing things like this. If not, why does the profession exist?

Another master class by snit.

Holmes is at 80 pitches facing the order a 3rd time.

Murphy is an above average MLB hitter this year, and is the 12th best offensive catcher out of the 32 with 150+ PAs. Anyone who thinks he’s part of the problem is a complete moron.

Will Ronald ever stop air mailing throws and giving up extra bases?

Is it possible to clear all 4 pitchers this inning?

Looking forward to seeing him work in a few splitters. I’d like him to pick his spots about 5 times when ahead in the count to LHHs.

Didier was doing things with the fastball that seemed advanced for a guy who just turned 20. Plus fastballs up and plus curves down can get a lot of outs.

One of the best things about Schwelly is he competently throws almost every pitch that exists, so we can compare every pitcher to his arsenal. MLB Avg Split: 86.5 mph, 11.3" arm-side, 3.2" rise Schwelly's Split: 84.7 mph, 9.4" arm-side, 0.2" rise Didier AAA Split: 89.3 mph, 8.8" arm-side, 4.8"...
