I just whispered that to my dog

 

(Toby is not my dog)

 

I truly can’t remember the last time we had a meaningful come from behind win

 

Nice win. Please no more Elder. I’m begging

 

Love the news that we’re considering sending Baldwin down to AAA after last night. This organization is very serious about winning.

 

This is only ok if your trying to figure out a way for him play everyday and experimenting with that.

 

Verdugo is gonna be such a big vibes guy. Just need him to get a hit every now and then.

 

After what Hrbek and Gladden did we owe the Twins about a century’s worth of gut wrenching defeats

 

Well that’s most certainly not what they’re doing. With our trash outfield crew there’s really zero reason he cannot catch twice per week and pinch hit every single game for those bums.

 

Glad Murph is bouncing back and Drake has shown he belongs, but it's less a "good problem to have" than a frustrating one for me. There's no way to rectify it other than teaching Drake to play LF on the fly, and his defense will probably end up cancelling out the added offense.

We're going to keep making sure last year was a fluke for Murph and that he's all the way back, and then we're going to trade Drake. Just have to make sure we don't miss on the return.

 

Why would you trade the 24 yo and keep the 30 yo at a position that historically doesn’t age well?

 

Because whatever is happening at this very moment will continue to happen exactly this way in the future and that’s without exception, Lou

 

time for some apologies

 

I would like to think the Braves wouldn’t have extended Murphy like they did if they had concerns about him maintaining production in his early 30s. So that seems more likely to me - especially with Murph being a proven great catcher whereas Drake has the potential to be great.

If we think Murph’s 2024 is a sign of things to come rather than an aberration, and we want to deal him once he recoups value, I’m not necessarily opposed.

 

I’d personally rather wait and then hopefully make the decision next offseason. Drake’s bat has considerable upside compared to Murph’s. Murph had a really hot start to his career in Atlanta, but he’s still a career .230 hitter, which has value with the amount of walks and pop at that position for sure.

 

We could be fucked

 

Yay

 

This dude is missing arm side a whole lot

 

Drake would have come through in that spot

 

Had a feeling we were boned when Olson’s didn’t get out

 

It’s not really boned when your five hole hitter cannot put a ball in the air or up the middle to get a free run

 

Good god buxton is incredible

 

As good as Mike is defensively, he needs to catch that if he gets to that spot

 

Just looks like the route was slightly off or the ball moved back behind him

 

Potential big K there

 

Can’t tell for sure from my pov, but buxton smoked that one off the bat and it looked like it had a tail?

 

Good shit Alex!

 

Think it did. Just sort of expect Mike grabs that if he gets that close.

 

Verdugo rakes

 

Did he do the A down with the mix? Bc maybe we need the mix it up celebration back.

 

For the love of God, stop hitting Murphy

 

Mike for fucks sake

 

It’s unbelievable at this point. Seems like it happens twice per series

 

Im loling at the beautiful juxtaposition of a game tying HR from Correa with our loser broadcast trying to convince us that a 1 run inning, that left the bases loaded stranded, was a win

 

Every night is just a disaster

 

Verdugo is too good for us

 

Still no good reason why Correa doesn’t play SS for us. Still mad about it

 

We’ve really squandered chances tonight. Doubt that comes back to bite us.

 

We have a starting SS

 

We didn’t when he signed with SF/NYM/Minnesota

 

Dominant stuff from Montero. Sheesh

 

Montero has been great

 

Didn’t realize this… seems positive

 

As per usual, Snit gets greedy with a relieve that worked the previous inning.

 

Idk if I’d read into that too much. He lost the zone and may have been focusing on not over throwing the fb

 

that ball 2 was so brutally bad. inning should be over if not for this loser ump

 

Mike with a couple of nice catches

 

HOLY FUCKING $$$$$$$$$$
