GDT 8/20/25 - Braves vs White Sox - Getting More Waldrep Data

Nice game! Just got back to the hotel. Waldrep was outstanding - would’ve liked to have seen more offense but waldrep dealing was impressive nonetheless. Perfect game for my wife - a nice crisp 2 hours. The stadium of course is amazing. I really liked what they did with the Braves history section. I was worried they would ditch that when they moved.
 
Cincinnati is whom to focus on. The Mets will crater. Everyone else we have to pass sold off at the deadline- except Miami, and they suck.

Glad you liked it!! I’m biased, but I think it’s incredible.

Biggest surprise Harris turnaround or Waldrep?

Waldrep for sure.

Harris has a recent history of being a star.

Waldrep learned 3 new quality pitches and improved his command dramatically. That’s incredibly impressive. If he continues his march towards being an impact starter the possibility of the window not slamming shut exists.

Somehow this supposedly poor collection of prospects continues to produce 1-2 quality MLB players each year. It’s very impressive to watch year after year.
 
I hope Snit doesn't start having fun and wanna stay around another year. We need a protected pick going into the offseason so we can sign better free agents.
 
Waldrep at 1 fWAR on the season right now.

Time to shut him down until next season. Maybe he can get himself onto some top 100 lists and win ROY next year

Nah, let em pitch. Need to see if he's gonna be able to lock down a spot. Sale and SS#2 are the only guys we can for sure count on right now. Hopefully strider will start to show a glimmer of hope down the stretch, and hopefully Waldrep continues to pitch well. Right now though, there's 3 spots up for grabs
 
I know I said theres nothing Waldrep can do to lock himself in for a rotation spot going into next year but I was wrong. I am no expert on pitching mechanics and cant explain it but I really like his throwing motion. It looks like it puts him in a good position to command his pitches in and around the strike zone. You all know how hype I am about Schwellenbach but I think its a legitimate question to ask, is Waldrep better than Schwellenbach? I remember drafting Waldrep. The dream with him was that he would refine his command a little. No one thought he would ever be a SP walking less than 3 per 9 IP.

That is not a legitimate question.
