Next Saturday will tell the truth. I wanna believe he's holding back some bc hes scared of his shoulder; but if he doesn't pick up velocity in real games, i have a hard time seeing him being very effective
This is the way.

He didn’t pitch last year. To expect him to take a starters load this year was always going to fail. He should have been slotted for the pen in October.Expect to see Lopez shelved by May. That will be 3 of the 5 projected SPs.
Nobody around here has disagreed with the premise that the Braves could’ve used more MLB-quality pitching depth going into 2026; so what is the point of continuously and smugly posting like this, as if you’re showing anyone up?If only there was a way to predict the SPs would be very likely injured. I can’t think of any possible way anyone could have known this roster would suffer massive injuries to the rotation.
It came out of nowhere!!
Because he's an asshole lol but he's our asshole, so it is what it is.Nobody around here has disagreed with the premise that the Braves could’ve used more MLB-quality pitching depth going into 2026; so what is the point of continuously and smugly posting like this, as if you’re showing anyone up?
I feel pretty confident in saying that Gil will be a solid major-league SS or 2B. He may not be elite, but he's just a solid player who is very clearly growing into his role perfectly.
Also, it was encouraging to see Tate Southisene last night. Multiple 100+ EVs. He still feels like a long shot to me, but the upside is extremely clear.

If you want to spend a Sunday proving a point that no one really cares about, go for it. It's your time lolI can dig up many comments along the lines of “with so many injuries there’s no way they could have built enough depth, so it’s ok they added no depth”. In fact, tehteh said something that stupid just last week.
I can also find several along the lines of “I think the depth of all these AAAA names is decent”.
Would you like me to start searching and quoting? If I post 10 will you admit you’re wrong about “nobody disagreed”? Doubt it.

We have Martin Perez and JR Ritchie ready to roll. We can also use Didier and putt Dodd back in the MLB pen. We're fine. The Braves have assured us that we definitely don't need to add any other options.I think I may have been wrong about Lopez…. We will know next week ….
