GDT 8/14/20 - Fillet the Fish

Being as kind as I can possibly be--this team for the past four games has been an unmotivated, undisciplined and unwatchable steaming pile of vomit.

I'm glad I got that off my chest.

That’s sort of a cop out, because Soroka and maybe Fried were the only safe bets going into the off season.

Letting Julio walk was moronic.

Betting on Folty after last years weird year seems pretty dumb when you look at how quickly he was DFAd. It’s not like there weren’t warning signs and the quick movement alludes to prior frustration by the club.

Hamels would’ve been nice, but his health was always a risk.

Newk.... godalmighty.

Wright = see newk.

While basically everything that could go wrong, went REALLY wrong, but taking that many risks with your rotation is just bad planning.

Meanwhile, the Reds got Bauer and Gray for a bag of balls....

The Mets got Stroman for not much when they didn’t even need him.

The Rangers nabbed Clubber for not much.

There were deals to be made.

Allard has pitched well?...yes...of course he has
 
Soroka, acuna, albies, and hamels are out. Folty and newcomb aren't on the roster. Riley and camargo have been offensive disasters. The braves still have a winning record. I do find the last sentence pretty amazing considering.

I agree, but they’re playing like ass right now. It’s not like they’re running talentless hacks out there.

Julio hasn’t done anything this season. He’s started 2 games and thrown a total of 4.2 innings with an ERA of 13.50. If we need someone to do that we can just bring Folty back up.

We put together a strong pitching staff in the offseason that had lots of depth. Unfortunately we’ve lost a whole rotation’s worth of players to both injury or ineffectiveness. And the COVID situation just complicates things. Is this the season you want to use your best prospects service time on?
 
Freeman has not been himself. We are getting negative production from Inciarte, even on the defensive side. Swanson has come back to earth. Camargo/Riley experiment has been a bust so far

Only good thing has been the pen for the most part

Riley is the new SVOD. Camargo is at least mildly productive though.

The blunders I’m pointing out we’re all made prior to COVID. There just no excuse to go into a season as a 2x defending division champion with a rotation like that.
