There's really nothing to argue. FF has more than doubled him up in fWAR this season, and fF was the mvp last year... you think Olson will get a single vote? Hahahahhahahhhahauha
Olson individually has been a downgrade. But the Braves as a whole have been a better team than their 2021 counterpart to this point.

That's accurate.
In a perfect world, freeman takes the deal we offered. We still have a few assets for a big time upgrade at the deadline.
He didn't. So AA did what he had to do.
But I don't really care about 5 years from now in a year where we are legit WS contenders. Not winning the division could literally be the difference in not winning the WS.
Plus... If this is the Olson we have for the next 8 years... That production is quite solid but certainly irreplaceable
Hopefully he reverts back to 2021 Olson after this first year is done (which almost certainly has a ton of pressure as well as a new league to adjust)
Bill Parcells used to say, "you are what your record says you are" and I agree with him. After this crapstorm tonight, our record is 4-7 against the Mets.

If I could wave a wand to change one thing in the off-season it’s not Olson vs Freddie. Olson is solid.
I’d likely replace Rosario with joc and we’d be tied or better with the Mets.
Dh, lf and 2b are orders of magnitude more impactful to me than ff vs Olson.
Also recall how many games we punted early bc of Ronald’s knee and a 6 man rotation. It was likely smart for this post season with extra innings on everyone’s arm from ws, messed up spring, and Morton coming off a major injury. But we lost a ton of those elder games. I was an elder fan but he has regressed

Take this game for instance. How good has Dansby been at SS all year? Amazing. He’s made 2 errors and Riley 1. And we know that Alonso was out at home earlier.
I agree with that. But the Braves are on pace for 96 wins currently. AA has built a hell of a team. It's ****ty but sometimes a team just has a better season. LA can thank the Giants for ****ing their playoffs up last year.
Fair point but the bottom line is the Mets own us right now and 4-7 bears that out.
