is it on tv?

No idea. Listening

Elder 1-2-3. K, GB, pop up

Talking on radio about the shift going away next year. I still really want to know how that will be defined. Seems like some shifting will still have to be allowed, just not as dramatic as it has become.

Matt Olson coming up, if he doesn't hit a HR he is a bust

 

[Enscheff]

Probably 2 defenders on each side of 2B and no IFers on the OF grass except for times when they legit want 4 OFers.

It might be interesting to see IFers shift mid-pitch to get to the optimum spot though. Sort of like pre-snap motion in the NFL.

Braves go down 1-2-3....we are FINNISH

 

[mfree80]

I think you will still see an IF almost up the middle. The biggest change will likely be the short OF.

Yeah, it will effectively change very little.

So I suppose Elder is our new ace?

Spending any resources on a starting pitcher is a massive mistake.

We could easily piggyback the 4/5 spots with quality arms.

 

[McCann'sCans]

My first bold prediction of 2022: Elder makes the rotation out of spring.

Contreras breaks up the no-hitter;-)

Thank God

Waters HR

RH BTW

 

[mfree80]

Waters sucks;-)

Waters was banged up a bunch last year and hte year prior was COVID year. Some bloom is off the rose but I'm very excited to see what he could do this year.

Waters HR

RH BTW

Gotta love that. Gotta also love how Elder pitched today... still, against pretty much a minor league lineup though.

We know... every Braves prospect is going to be amazing
