GDT 4/26 Elder vs Sandy. Oh, what’ll you do now my blue eyed son?

We are pacing 110 wins. When Harris, TdA, Iglesias, Arcia all get back, we should see that number increase to about a 130-140 win pace....i'll settle for that.

Hard to maintain that pace all season, probably hit some rough patches at some point. As bad as the Houston series was, could/should have at least gotten 1 game.

Leading in 2 of them, we should have won at least 2. But that's baseball. Of course I was being sarcastic on the winning pace. But I do feel this is a 100+ win team

But we should have a really good idea after next month.

May 12-17 we play the Blue Jays and Rangers on the road
May 19-28 we play the Mariners, Dodgers, and Phillies at home

No idea how it lines up. But I'd love to see degrom vs strider. I'll be at one of the rangers games. Just waiting to see who's pitching.

And I'm always cautious to say any team is a true 100+ win team. But the Braves are really ****ing good. It finally feels like we've passed the dodgers as the best in the NL.

Outside of Opening Day, DeGrom has been fantastic so far for them. DeGrom/Strider would be box office though.

We dont even have Harris, TDA, Arcia, Iggy right now. Sounds like most of them should be back by next month sometime. Braves roster is quite good though, not sure where AA goes for the deadline. Bullpen seems most likely. Could use a LF/DH bat, but Hilliard has been a surprise if he can stay consistent. Someone who could be the RH of a platoon with him while TDA/Rosario get the DH AB's?

Hilliard is gonna come back to earth at some point, but lawd we could use some steady productivity out there in LF. I'm assuming his defense would be plus out there.

He is a much cheaper Duval.

 

[thewupk]

What if I told you that Acuna led the majors in WAR but only had a pedestrian 206 ISO? Sky is the limit if he starts lifting the ball like in 2020-2021.

We've tried to get Soler back from the Marlins twice. He can opt out at the end of the season, so I wonder if AA circle back to that route if they are out of the race.

degrom is nasty as always. honestly that's the one game I'd for sure not go to unless it's against Strider. Don't want to see the Braves potentially get embarrassed.
