The Atlanta Braves

[05_never_again]

I mean it isn't hard to fill out a roster with another 6-7 league average position players/starting pitchers. That itself would be enough to get you over .500.

Hell, in 2018 they had Simba with 5 WAR and Justin Upton with 3 WAR to go along with Trout and Ohtani. They still couldn't manage a winning record.

They did, basically. Their starting rotation was full of basically average arms; none of those guys were awful. That isn't good enough in baseball, typically. It's probably the sport that requires the deepest roster to be a good team. The injuries as you said really hurt them that year. They only got 104 games (and 51 IP) out of Ohtani.

If they had an above-average frontline starter (or Shohei didn't blow out his arm) they probably would have snuck into the playoffs that year.

The Mets have yet to play a game against a team that currently has a winning record.

6 division games in September, all Nats. Theses new schedules stink

Divisions are useless with these new schedules.

Everyone's popular FA pick this past winter, Ha-Seong Kim, has had a set back in rehab. It's now looking like July at the earliest before he gets back into action.

And he’s still been better than arcia/allen

Has Dansby ever started a season well?

Except '22, I can't think of any.

Swanson has a .227 BABIP and Nick Allen has a .404 BABIP just FYI

 

[zjcvols]

Nick Allen has a .404 BABIP and IS STILL BELOW LEAGUE AVERAGE IN HITTING

He's terrible

Well, he landed on the right SS depth chart.

Brother, I had hoped you learned when you glazed Arcia for having a couple nice months

 

[Carp]

Nick Allen's average EV (83.7) and hard hit% (30.4) are at career highs.

Power surge. Probably getting his medication from the same pharmacy as Profar.

 

[zjcvols]

Spent $70M on Kelenic/Profar to fix LF and neither one is even on the team right now.

RE: the Rockies

'They tell you to keep it down -- don't listen': 30 years of Coors Field pitching horror stories

For three decades, baseball at the Rockies' park has bruised ERAs and egos. Here's what it's like on MLB's scariest mound.

His one year was indeed fine. I also said it was time to pull the plug after that.

That must be one hell of a muscle strain.
