Seriously. At this point, if he gets caught, so what? Throw him some guaranteed money under the table if he gets suspended.

Seriously bc he's probably not getting another contract anyways after this one unless it's a minor league deal.

I really do wonder if they are messing with the balls though bc the power numbers went way down with us all of a sudden last year it seems.

MLB has admitted that the balls have more drag on them this year. They say it’s due to a manufacturer error and there’s nothing they can do about it, yet the Aaron Judges of the world seem unaffected.

Give Waldrep the rest of the season as a starter and then move him to the bullpen next ST.

Why isn't someone collecting balls from every stadium over a month or so and compare them?

They screw with the ball every year. Its become ridiculous.

They make the most money off the Dodgers and Yankees so it would make sense to send better balls to those 2 teams.

yeah, they’re still allowed to cheat and sign 13-year-olds. Funny how the investigation disappeared with nothing found when they’ve been doing the same thing as the braves. They've done it for years. That whole system is a shit hole.

Hayden Harris and JR Ritchie are the Braves players sent to the all star minor league game at Truist- Deest- what are your thoughts? After Diddy, are these the best two ?

Hmm. Not really Hula. JR is a known commodity so I won't touch on him (he's top 3 IMHO). Hayden is an underrated prospect for sure. What I like about him most is his slider and the way he hides the fastball. FB is the usual 92-94 variety but the swing and miss is real with it. To me, he's been brought along the right way but painfully slow.

Given the volatile nature of RP'S, I'd say he's top 5 in the Braves system regarding relief pitchers with a chance to be solid at the major league level. Command (Braves theme) will be the key but his time is coming. If I were putting just pitching prospects only in a top 10, he'd probably be around 10 or so.

Interesting - and much appreciated - thanks !
