The Atlanta Braves Thread

When has he ever consistently played 2 catchers?

The 40 games d’Arnaud and Contreras played at DH last year?

Willy played 97 games last year. 34 at DH. TDA had 6 games at DH. So out of Willy’s 97 games, 41% of the time he played two catchers out of Willy’s starts.

I wouldn’t say shaky, but Raisel being out is a blow. Hopefully Anderson is ready. The question becomes who closes

Who else you feel good about down there?

Jimenez
Luetge
Lee

All were very good last year. Other than the general “relievers are volatile creatures and simply cannot be trusted year to year” thinking, the bullpen still projects well

Lee can get us through a regular season but he does not need to be in anything beyond the 7th

Hell I’d start Soroka out in the pen to ease him back.

If Shuster/Dodd are serviceable

Shuster no problem in the first with the pitch clock.

The A’s are disgusting

 

[TBrown]

A fly ball was just “hit weakly to right center” instead of “swing and a drive….caught”

The fact that John Fisher can still own a ball club should be illegal

Also the Angelos family making $60M with that club after a really nice season and only giving Kyle Gibson a FA contract is gross

I know they have a microscopic payroll, but it's still nuts to me they made that much money. You can see tumbleweeds blowing through the stands during their games.

Amazing what happens when you spend $30M on payroll and get other teams to cover it with revenue sharing
