GDT 8/7/19: Braves at Twins - The Fighting Fried Attacks Again

That hot streak probably bought them another year or two in purgatory. No playoffs and not a high draft pick the following year. Still should have sold everyone at the deadline.

actually I think their plan is to offer QOs to Smith and Bumgarner...so they will get something from holding on to them

Mets will do same with Wheeler

for teams on the edges of playoff contention I think holding on to those kinds of players and giving them a QO is not a bad way to go

They likely have the option to skip Matz if they choose, due to scheduled off days. Not sure if they will. He's been pitching pretty good. Won today.

Snits still hasn't learned a damn thing about use of BP. Brings Luke in with 2 runners on base and he allows both to score. Did the same thing last night. I would really like to know what Lukes inherited runners scoring percentage is?

Then leaves Tomlin in with 2 runners on for Cruz. Managed to only give up 1 run there, but still 2 runners on for Sano and Tomlin still throwing. HR to close score to 4 runs and more drama.

I agree, Jackson always gives up runners so he is not someone you bring on to get out of a jam. He needs to come in with no one on and be given clean innings.
 
Snit just said Riley is having some knee issues, is heading to the IL, and will be checked by our doctors and will also get a second opinion. Snit said he hurt it during a warmup. Could be some truth to the reddit poster.

Braves have 28-32 million AAV to spend next year.

This part is correct. Assuming we pick up the options on Muk, Flowers and Teheran and bring back McCann at 5M and Donaldson at 25M, our opening day payroll would be around 130M. So this 28-32 we have to spend would effectively be exhausted by bringing back McCann and Donaldson on those terms. We could create some flexibility by not bringing back some of the guys on options or trading players away.

I'm not sure that Smith and Bumgarner don't accept a qualifying offer after last year's market dynamic. I think that would be the worst case scenario for San Francisco.
