GDT- 7/2/2024- Miami Marlins (Alcantara) at Atlanta Braves (Strider)

Arcia and Elder being all-stars is pretty funny

 

[SJ24]

8 All Stars and we're going to be 30+ games above .500.

This is nuts.

 

[thewupk]

Riley is clearly the one that doesn't belong. But **** it who cares.

 

[SJ24]

Most All-Stars for a single team since the Mariners in 2001.

Those Mariners won 116 games IIRC.

I agree Riley doesn't belong if he is being compared to his teammates. If you go to Fangraphs and look at war and his stats compared to the other NL 3rd basemen its not a surprise he made it.

The 2003 Braves should’ve had 8 All-Stars, but Chipper got screwed.

Fair. NL 3B is really weak this year.

Makes up for Cooper being selected over him last year (even though Riley eventually made it as an injury replacement that was still an embarrassment).

 

[thewupk]

Who thinks Acuna is going for the Atlanta-era franchise record in SB. Nixon with 72 has it right now.

If he can avoid injury and play a full season, I think he gets 40/80.

Olson declined an invite to the HR Derby. Thank god.

Acuna did too. I don’t need to see another Brave ever in that competition.

J D Davis is 2nd in Fwar among NL 3rd basemen. Somehow I wish he could be an Allstar just to troll the Mets.

 

[The Tariff King]

Arcia and Elder being all-stars is pretty funny

With even how unlikely it is to stay this way, Elder having an ERA+ of 183 and pacing for a 6.5 WAR season is unreal.

Just ridiculous.

 

[thewupk]

With a minimium of 250 PA's. Your top 3 in the NL in OPS are Acuna, Murphy, Olson

Wow

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Best record in the bigs now (I know our percentage has been higher than Tampa's the last few days, but they are now behind Atlanta standings-wise).

Gonna whoop that ass next weekend too

 

[Carp]

Strider isn't right when he's not getting swings and misses. Can't say it any simpler than that.

9 Ks today. Seems like he's got plenty of K's.

I get that you posted this earlier in the game, but he isn't going to look dominant every single inning. Since everyone freaked out about his 2 bad starts, he's given up 5 runs in 20 innings.

They only have 10 home losses all season, they're tough to beat at the Trop. Would gladly take not getting swept and just get out injury free with that turf.
