The Atlanta Braves - Hello darkness my old friend

Ohtani

Ohtani is 6th in batting fWAR and 32nd in pitching fWAR what a monster

Think of what a weapon he would be playing under NL rules.

You’d have to play him in the field everyday tho so (potentially) could exhaust him more

Haha seriously he would be less of a weapon in the NL

Yeah like 1B or LF isn’t necessarily taxing but it’s a lot different than only having to hit and play the field and standing in 90 degree heat

@Florida Stanley always bringing up Jace Peterson to me but not mentioning that 118 OPS+ the last two years!!!!

No way he’s put in a position to make a max throw the day before or after he pitches. He could play a position maybe two days a week.

Just horrible man

Maybe, but I don't see standing in LF being all that big a deal for him. Might be an issue with arm fatigue though if he was used as a starter.

Guys…Stephen Voght has a worse OPS+ than Kevan Smith with us this year

The Braves probably need to rethink Ozzie Albies in the lead off spot

If we make the playoffs this would be my playoff roster:


C- TDA
1B Freddie
2B- Ozzie
3B- Riley
SS- Dans
LF- Duvall
CF- Joc
RF- Soler

C- Willy
IF- Ehire
IF- Arcia
OF- Pache
OF- Rosario
OF- Almonte

SP Morton
SP Max
SP Ynoa
SP Ian

RP Smyly
RP Smith
RP Matzek
RP Minter
RP Touki
RP Martin
RP Jackson
RP Dick Rod

I’d play Pache vs Lefties and I would think about Rosario vs Righties instead of Duvall. Joc should lead off against righties and movie Ozzie to 9th.

 

[zjcvols]

Vs RHP
Joc
Soler
Fred
Riley
Dans
TDA
Duvall
Pitcher
Ozzie

Vs LHP
Ozzie
Soler
Fred
Riley
Dans
Duvall
TDA
Pitcher
Joc

Should be the lineup right now IYAM.

Heredia has a 66 wRC+ since 5/15…absolutely no reason for him to be on the roster during the playoffs

 

[zjcvols]

Also Travis Demeritte STILL has an OPS over 1.000 in Gwinnett but yet we still have Ehire and Almonte on the bench

Wild. Gotta dump Heredia and Almonte

Heredia has been awful. At this point I’d rather Joc play everyday since he hasn’t been terrible in CF. Honestly tho…man I might give Pache a shot at CF in a week or two. He’s been playing really well and while I love Duvall he has a 92 OPS+ with us. Soler/Joc scares me for a playoff run in the OF. I want great defense. And Duvall/Rosario off the bench for the playoffs would be really nice.

**** both teams but I’ll be damned if a Yanks/Sox wild card game would be fun as hell
