Big game for elder

 

[bravesfanMatt]

lefty starter on an inferior team durning the day with a chance to win the series 3-1.... Yeah, I see the braves losing 7-6 on a series of dump defensive plays and boneheaded base running errors.

 

[chop2chip]

I know the mood around these parts is suicidal but the Braves are 8-4 in the last 12 games

 

[msstate7]

Bowman is right about the move to activate lee is gonna be interesting. Who gets the axe?

Going to be a tough game for him. The Pirates are a juggernaught offensivley.

Someone will have a phantom IL until we gain an extra pitcher roster spot in September.

I don't know the rules on all of the roster moves, but i hope so.

I'd like all of our non Max Fried starters to get skipped once this month. They all need time off.

 

[thewupk]

Another game where we aren't getting the big hit?

Good inning for Elder. Command is still pretty iffy but his pitches were pretty crisp.

Olson is so hot right now

 

[chop2chip]

Doubles approach that 4 digit OPS number

 

[UNCBlue012]

Olson is closing in on a 1.000 OPS lol

Is this good or bad?

Worse than Freeman.

Also, it sure sounds like Dylan Lee will be promoted to Atlanta really soon. He's pitched two innings and sat down all six batters on his two rehan assignments.

He is going to be the extra pitcher for the DH then get optioned until roster expansion

Dylan Lee is one of the best choices in our BP. Why would we do that?

I love it when Arcia plays well. I've always said I'd love to be wrong about him. I'll admit I was wrong about him. Mostly about his defense.

When you look at his expected stats, Arcia is pretty close to his preseason projections. He's basically been what was expected except with luck.

His defense has been the highlight though. I don't know if it's getting back at a position he's more comfortable at or getting to play everyday but his defense has way outstripped what I expected.
