GDT 5/10/26: Braves @ Dodgers - Mother’s Day Game!!!

Yeah the Richardson and Hefner hires were gold. Elder has for sure been better this year, but doesnt mean they still shouldnt add a starter at the deadline.

I agree. Well, unless AJSS, waldep, and/or SS#2 are imminent

First one was like watching maddux

If he can paint that inside corner (it caught a bit of the center-left of the plate), and get the left handed batters to lock their knees that will be Madduxesque.

Huddy could do it here and there as well as Medlen.

The fact that we are seriously having this conversation and comparing an Elder pitch to Maddux and Huddy and Kris is both inconceivable and beautiful at the same time…

Wild that 2/5 of the rotation came from the final two picks of the 2020 5-round Covid draft.

Please let these be the real Strider and Elder and please keep them healthy.

Please let these be the real Strider and Elder and please keep them healthy.

All you need to do is change your username to Strider future and Elder future

Elder because I'm assuming Strider has game #2.

Amazing draft with only four picks. Shuster made MLB, too, so only Jesse Franklin V kept it from being a 100% draft. Still, 75% is pretty damn good.

I would still do it. You can’t trust those guys to just immediately be firing on all cylinders and it’s way more likely than not Sale will miss time.

 

[cajunrevenge]

Elder is now not just your ace but the NL ERA leader.

If there's a good deal to make I am all for it but I dont know that we should be trading prospects for SP. My priority would be on an Outfielder and lefty reliever. That would raise the chances we won each game while any SP we get I feel would only give a marginal increase chances to win 1 game. If we replaced Bummer with a good left reliever we could probably do a bullpen game in the playoffs.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

lefty reliever is ideal.. but give me any high leverage reliever as my top priority.. that and start trusting DF a heck of a lot more

 

[The Tariff King]

When Joe Jimenez returns it will be like trading for a high leverage reliever.

Total radio-silence on his injury status is weird.

Kim to be activated tomorrow.

No more Mateo Jarvis.

Acuña expected back this week too. We're gonna have a full powered lineup.

 

[Hulavol]

Man - the Bobby coverage on MLB network is incredible today. I’m a little surprised honestly. It’s non- stop since I turned it on. They have Smoltzie and Mac and Mark D all on there telling Bobby stories. It’s just great - turn it on if you can ….

 

[Slippyjms]

Acuna
Baldwin
Olson
Albies
Riley
Harris
Dubon
Smith/Murphy
Kim

Yastrzemski
Smith/Murphy
Mateo
White

That should play nicely especially if Yaz can pick it up enough to move in to a solid platoon role. A good L/R mix of useful players and lots of speed and utility off the bench.
