Managing with platoon matchups in mind—not just for the AB/inning, but for the remainder of the game. Never thought I’d see the day.

You're right. Berkman had the big homer in the 8th though that closed the gap.

Why doesn't Savant include ramp %. Elder has to be red in ramps.

I still think they’re trying to “fix” Payamps, while I think there’s not really enough interesting about Bido’s pitch-mix to try him out any longer.
Hamilton at least has an interesting extreme-low-spin slider.
There will be more churn, when all is said and done, so it’s probably not worth committing too much thought to the bottom-third of the bullpen. I’m just thrilled Weiss seems to have the inclination to use these guys relatively correctly.
Gotta love early season baseball stats. If someone told you Elder, Holmes, Lopez, and Sale produced the following stat lines after 4 starts each I'm guessing everyone would put them in the exact opposite order.
23.1 IP, 0.77 ERA, .245 xwOBA, 0.6fWAR
21.2 IP, 3.32 ERA, .286 xwOBA, 0.3 fWAR
20.2 IP, 2.18 ERA, .310 xwOBA, 0.1 fWAR
22.0 IP, 3.27 ERA, .315 xwOBA, 0.1 fWAR
The fact all 4 have thrown 20+ innings is the truly good news. The first couple weeks could not have gone any better given how rough things were going in ST.

Three inches is huge. Like, enormous. Right?

Staff Ace, Bryce Elder
Been thinking of adding a 2026 City Connect to my collection. Baldwin is tempting, but maybe Elder is the move.
Like, Stroman big.
For what it's worth the Braves did have the best record in ST. So while there were a few injuries and a suspenion they still played well.
Meh. When in doubt I always go #10

I actually only have current-roster jerseys (Acuña, Strider, Albies).
