GDT 4/8/26: Braves @ Angels - Last Day Before Off Day

[Super]

How brilliant does the Dubon trade look right now?

He was acquired for market value. You can’t celebrate that trade.

 

[CyYoung31]

Contrast that with Snit who likely would have been asleep

“There was a fight? Honestly I didn’t see it.”

 

[Super]

But really, loved the Dubón trade and he’s showing how important he is. With Kim out to begin the season his value is on full display. Solid injury replacement + versatile bench piece is why he’s in Atlanta and he’s crushing it.

If someone told us the Braves would go 8-5 after that brutal 13 game stretch and nobody got injured…we would have been ecstatic.

What if we add in being tied for the MLB lead in run differential

Many of us were on the edge of the cliff after that 3-game skid.

What if someone told you that after 13 games Elder, Lopez, and Holmes would all have ERA's under 3?

Injury in game 14 incoming.

What if someone told you watching Bryce Elder start was... exciting...

I would have thought you meant exciting like attaching a car battery to your gonads is exciting.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

What if I told you elder was 19th and F war but with the second fewest innings of the group

 

[thewupk]

In first after an early season west coast trip feels a lot better than 0-7 after last years west coast trip

I love that if you were simply reading the GDTs, you wouldn’t be able to tell which was the 0-7 start and which was the 8-5 start.

Hopefully Ronald looks at some film on the off day today and moves those feet closer together

Ronnie hasn't been nearly as bad as his results show.

 

[Carp]

IT seems most of the stars that competed in the WBC have had hangovers into the season. Aside from mega-star Ozzie Albies.

 

[Carp]

It's early, and Ozzie has had several weird swings on a few balls in play that skew the numbers, but Imma need him to improve in several of the blue areas.

An xwOBA of .282 isn't going to cut it.

Yeah…I’m gonna go out on a limb and say he doesn’t come close to those numbers.
