GDT 4/13/25: Braves @ Rays - Sunday Sale

[bravesnumberone]

Assuming ozuna is out no more than 10 days, I actually feel a little better about the team. We'll actually have a mlb option in the OF vs rhp and one of the best pitchers in baseball back this week. I can squint my eyes enough to see a little run shaping up for this team. Hopefully Acuna gets a good report, and that gets the team feeling even better. Spencer and Spencer will deliver the next series.

Reality starting to set in with the bullpen.

Gonna have to hope iggy figures it out. If he can get back to form, we should be able to piece it together until we can trade for a piece or 2.

I sure am glad Jeff Hoffman failed his physical here:

9.1 IP, 5 hits, 1 ER, 0 HR, 1 BB, 13 K

Olson had kind of a day, huh?

Braves might need to fire their medical staff

Wonder if we have Profar if we signed Hoffman first.

No problem if we don’t. Even without the suspension, we needed a starter more than another bat. If our stars 1-7 aren’t going to hit, we have no chance anyway.

Yeah Hoffman has been dealing If Lopez comes back he needs to go back to the bullpen where he can be a real weapon. Sale will figure his stuff out and be fine as long as he's healthy but we do need another starter bad.

Strider should throw Wednesday

It would only be helpful if we like scored runs, man

I know we like to complain about AA not getting a pitcher, but for most of our losses, the pitching has not been the problem.

Amazing what scoring a few runs would do to our perception of our pitching

going by fWAR...
22nd in hitting
29th in pitching

Just a well rounded shit team

With both Spencers going in Toronto and home this weekend, this needs to be a 4-2 week

 

[Hulavol]

I would be thrilled with a 4-2 week right now.

The pitching has been pretty bad outside of Schwelly... especially the pen.

By my count, the pen has cost us SIX losses. Four for damn sure- meaning they gave up a lot of runs - not just Iggy throwing a meatball to Ohtani type stuff.

Easily the worst offseason in the AA era, and likely the worst offseason since I started watching over 30 years ago.
