Looks good.

Pretty impressive that AJSS is already throwing. We might be able to see him by late June/early July at this rate.

For reference, DeGrom had his surgery in nearly the exact same time frame in June if 2023 that AJS did in 2025. DeGrom didn't start throwing off a mound again until mid-June 2024.

Strider and Murphy within the next two weeks. Kim probably a couple weeks later. Waldrep and AJSS in early July, I'd guess. You love to see it!

Guys coming back from TJS do come back after one season, but they are often not totally back until the next year. I think AJSS will be a good pitcher this year, but I don’t expect him to be back to star status until next season.

Yup. I'd honestly let him spot start and build back in the bullpen.

That fart of a double is hopefully a sign that Acuna's luck is about to change

Ronnie's probably going to go on a tear that raises his OPS from like .500 to .900 in three days lol

 

[thewupk]

Kenny Powers getting it done

 

[CyYoung31]

Why did @jsebe10 dummy claim that Acuña didn’t move from RF during the scrap?

 

[cajunrevenge]

Acuna will figure it out. I think he will be cooked by 30 though. 32 at the latest. We need to figure out a way to get one of the big market teams run by retards to give us a kings ransom and sign him to a 500 million dollar contracts as a means to sabotage them. Imagine the Mets paying Acuna and Old Man Soto 120 million a year combined in 5 years to get like 4 WAR total. Maybe Ronald can get one of those Bonilla contracts.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Watching the replay, he did the obligatory bullpen jog but did make sure to flip his hat around lol.

Did I miss something? Why is Yaz starting?

Weiss feeling himself after that take down last night

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Soler shouldn't be allowed to play today even though he appealed. There's no shot his suspension is just 1 game, so make him sit today out.

 

[USMA76]

Soler doing Soler things.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Why in the living hell are you throwing the pissed-off power hitter a fastball down the middle?

Then walking the guy with an OPS below .450. and then giving up hits to Adell.

Grant, be serious ya dumbass

 

[bravesnumberone]

Did I miss something? Why is Yaz starting?

I don't get it either. No confidence in White and Farmer? Are they trying to see if Yaz can handle lefties at all? Does he have previous success against Detmers?
