Forgot how much I hate Phillies fans as I haven't watched a lot of the games since I moved. Jesus Christ I hope we beat the dog shit out of this fucking team, fuck that city so fucking much.
I’m interested to learn whose death opened up a spot for him. Has to be what, 3 or 4 pitchers that died?
Daysbel certainly has good stuff if he can control it. No Kyle and Jesse makes me nervous, but at least Hernandez and AJSS have high velo
Guess AJSS will get the bridge assignment if Max gets tired early or Bryce doesn't have it. And he's good enough to do it, just surprises me they wouldn't want at least one of Kyle or Jesse too.
I think Kyle needs a full offseason to get everything right. Chavy apparently struggled badly in the scrimmages?
Bowman said Wright was having trouble bouncing back after relief appearances so if they carried him it would be a one shot deal. Basically him or elder.
if it was me i would simply roster 2021 matzy and 2011 venters/eof/kimbrel. stop trying to make tonk and bryce happen -gaquick
Got the throwback #27 jersey ready for today. Looking forward to ignoring people asking who Perez is.
Announcers won't, but twitter and the MLB thread here will act like Native American genocide is being performed on the field. Ftr I'm team #stopthechop but the performative outrage across the internet is always great.
same but the performative hypocrisy from guys like passan during the 2021 run has made me a reactionary regarding it
he wrote some long article right as the WS started about how inappropriate it and the name was and then like 2 weeks later was at the chiefs game is chiefs apparel. give me a break
I am team stop it too but it makes you wonder if the people outside of the braves complaining really care or if it is just some ammunition for them to throw Atlanta's way.
you are right tho. the chop is inappropriate and should go but the performative outrage (that only pops up when we are good) and the insistence that its 9/11 2.0 has just made me not remotely care at this point
I like the roster. I like the Daysbel move too. The Braves needed another power arm for the pen in the playoffs. He provides some more depth. One more solid lefty in place of Tonk for Bryce and Schwarber would have been nice.
Just pass out foam hammers and crank the Home Depot theme song when you turn out the lights imo. Problem solved.
Wright is made of glass. I understand why the Braves are constantly drafting starting pitching in the early rounds.
Not just him. Pretty much a right of passage at this point to go through a TJ at some point in your career, then further inflammation, etc. The trade pitchers make for increased velo beyond what the normal human body is consistently capable of.
I’m interested in seeing the TJ numbers in 5 years. I believe we might see a step change increase simply due to the pitch clock but it remains to be seen. That with ever increasing velocity and its just always gonna be in the cards for pitchers unless they’re blessed with genetically strong ligaments. but yes, Kyle is made of glass
Suarez is a lefty right? Ozzie crushes lefties so not sure I see the difference in him or Riley hitting second. I agree about not moving Olson around when he looked very comfortable where he was at. Maybe Austin crushes sauaraz. I have no idea how these guys have done previously against him.
The bench is pretty nice though with Eddie, tda, and Vaughn ready to go to pinch hit and Wall as a pinch runner.
