GDT 4/28/26: Braves vs Tigers - Harris Back In CF

Nice article on Fangraphs today about the Braves resurgence.

Pitching has overachieved to an extent but that will offset a little bit once the two Spencers are back as well as Waldrep. Offensively, you'd hope Murphy and Kim help the depth of the roster.
 
This whole thing is bordering on ridiculous now. They have essentially been exactly what they were in the Spring, plus they have been fortunate enough to have the Mets and Phils both play themselves into holes. Barring major injuries at a minimum 90-95 wins should be the floor based on how the season started.
 
For all the crap Ozzie gets..I saw this :
Ozzie Albies ranks among 2B in Braves Franchise History:

HR- 1st (Ozzie has 163 with Dan Uggla being 2nd at 79 lol)

RBI- 2nd
Hits- 2nd
2B- 1st
3B- 3rd
R- 2nd
SB- 2nd
OPS+- 6th (min. 100 games)

Whether he goes or not..best 2nd baseman for the Braves all time. IMHO.

Imagine how great he would have been with even an average MLB approach. Something like a mash-up of Jose Ramirez and Altuve.

You’re basically describing an inner circle HOF second baseman.

Ozzie is going to end up as the best second baseman in franchise history. He hit at least a 90% percentile outcome. It’s okay if he did it a little bit differently than we all anticipated.
