GDT 8/5/23: Braves @ Cubs - Respect your Elder

Enscheff said:
Elder isn’t suddenly mediocre because of this start. He has been mediocre the entire season, and this game the luck is bad. Other games the luck has been better. It he’s been the same mediocre guy the entire time, which I said a thousand times.

I’m not sure where this idea that a team only needs 3 SPs in the playoffs came from. I’m not sure where the idea that Elder is someone a team wants pitching in the playoffs.

AA should have have acquired one of the many SPs we were discussing for weeks.

I am interested in who the NL teams with 3 better starters are
 
Braves coulda probably traded AJSS or Grissom
For a probably upgrade at the 3-4 sure. Not sure why they'd do that bough... Morton and fried are likely to be gone, so AJSS is a pretty important piece for the future imo. I want the braves to be good for the next 5 years, not God mode for 1 year

Even though they're not better than the Braves, Nola, Wheeler, Walker/Suarez are a tough quartet in a best of 5 series. It's why I hate the best of 5 series -- weird things happen like last year when Fried was sick and Strider was just coming off injury.

Fried, strider, and Morton/elder are better than Nola, wheeler, and Walker/Suarez in FIP.... by a good bit

I can respect this opinion.

I still think AA should have gotten a SP.

And I'm not sure why we're counting out wright

Not counting him out but coming back from a shoulder injury? I guess anything is possible, and AA has the medical updates with him that we dont. Our best 4 is probably Charlie/Strider/Fried/Wright. Just no clue what to expect from Wright.

He's pitching. If he weren't, I'd be concerned
 
2-0 and you give him the outside corner. Then he throws it back there again knowing this **** ump will call it so Harris has to swing.
