The Atlanta Braves - Hello darkness my old friend

[GAVol]

A’s are making this kid wear this one like he’s pitching slow pitch softball.

Everything Just jumps here. I think I’d rather pitch in Coors than here

Good morning everyone but especially @raw dog @flattop @scott_schiesty @freemansfondler

I’m sorry. But I’ve decided I just can’t let this post slide.

Saying a player is having a better season because they are defensively playing superior is wack lol

Because I’ve ran the numbers and offensively Freddie is having a better season across the board. So you can’t be basing it off of what they are doing at the plate.

Still want you to have a nice day tho

More bWAR, more fWAR, better batted ball data, better swing data, better underlying metrics, better production numbers, and soon to be a better OPS which is probably the only number you’re actually looking at

I never don’t have a nice day!

First off, it’s paramount to me that we ALL have a nice day.

But not at the expense of the facts.

Without further ado, let’s let the (unbiased) people decide:

Freeman .308/.381/.502

OPS .882
OPS+ 147
wRC+ 143
HR 10

Matt Olson .262/.366/.473

OPS .839
OPS+ 133
wRC+ 133
HR 15

as you see, the only statistically category Matt bests Freddie is in HRs, yet his SLG is still significantly lower.

Now, Freddie’s numbers have dipped this month due to a soft tissue issue (this should be your angle of attack btw) and Matt is better defensively by a gap that seems to be increasing.

Looks like I just punched your ticket to FACTS CITY, hombre.

I’d cry too if someone were underperforming their xwoba by 20 points but still dancing on the grave of my !

This is likely the main reason why Fuentes has struggled, despite all of his pitches rating so well.

One would think an ounce of self scout from the guys spending every single day with him would help out..

It would help if the manager hasn't actively admitted to not seeing plays occur this year.

Even though he was looking right at them when they occurred.

ouch lol

but seriously he needs to answer for this I mean cmon

 

[raw dog]

anyone wanna take a guess who was right about Sale @TBrown

 

[raw dog]

DOES ANY1 HAVE THE CAHOONIES TO SAY THEY ARE HAPPY WITH CHRIS SALE

 

[Carp]

Sale and Schwelly getting hurt is probably a blessing in disguise. We weren't going anywhere anyways, so at least this saves mileage on their arms in a lost season. I wouldn't hate Strider being shelved at some point too (but for now he needs work).

I hadn’t noticed until a few days ago. Contreras has really fallen off a cliff.

I saw something earlier this season that he is/was dealing with a wrist injury/fracture that occurred late last season that he’s opted to play through.

We got to get rid of AA

I guess that takes Murphy off the table but you can still move Ozuna and Iggy

 

[zjcvols]

Team projected to have the second-best record in baseball has better odds to get the #1 pick in the lottery than the playoffs and the clown in charge thinks the organization just needs a little retooling. Holy hell, talk about a complete lack of self-awareness.

I'm afraid Pre injury Strider is never coming back.

This is so stupid and frustrating for fans
