Predictive complaining. He has ascended

I mastered this long ago...and have been right every time!

Tho I was low on my predicted number of board melt downs for the last 6 weeks of the season haha.

Serious question. Is it really that much fun to come to a fan message board all day just to ridicule people who are fans of the same team you are? Seems like you find more enjoyment in that and proving yourself right than rooting for the team in the first place.

Acuña
Inciarte
Freeman
Markakis
Camargo
Suzuki
Albies
Swanson
Gausman

First of the last 4 regular season games at Suntrust this season. Hope we take at least 2 of 4

This is very likely my favorite lineup and configuration tbh

 

[Julio3000]

expecting a yuge game from Swanson

It’s a race between him and .700 OPS.

It's the only thing in life he finds enjoyment in, don't ruin it for him.

Honestly, if Swanson can give us a .700+ OPS with his defense we have ourselves an incredibly undervalued asset.

You just described a roughly 2 win player, which is valuable through all his years of control.

FWIW, Swanson currently ranks 18 out of 21 qualified MLB SS in terms of WAR.

I dunno about that.

I suppose that depends how you feel about UZR. I prefer DRS as a defensive component and his bWAR is 2.4

Baseball reference definetely likes the braves more. Anyone added the WAR from each site to see who's more accurate on the braves?

They like the defense more.

Overall the Braves fWAR is 38.6. Their bWAR is 38.1

Braves have won 84 games and according to fWAR they should have 83.1 and according to bWAR they should have 83.6.

So yeah it checks out.

 

[bravesnumberone]

They just insist on continuing to say how this guy has never beaten us.

 

[msstate7]

1,2,3 gausman, lets go

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

Broadcast crew already hating on analytics!!!

hopefully they are replaced soon

 

[msstate7]

New drinking game, every braves walk, take a shot... you'd be dead by the 5th inning lol

 

[salmagundy]

With 18 relievers available, will we see a call to the BP with no one throwing??? We've seen that before. I think Snitckers got tossed arguing the length of time given the new thrower.

 

[msstate7]

Cabrera should be wearing a braves uniform. This race would be over by now

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

Not a good start
