The Atlanta Braves - Hello darkness my old friend

You have to wonder what position we would be in if Acuna didn’t go down. I doubt AA would have been as aggressive seeking bats. Maybe he would have tried to find some arms? Either way, I’m glad we got the pieces we did. Even though the team doesn’t hug anymore.
Imagine if we had both Acuna and Soroka…
 
It’s a shame we never could have gotten a Medlen/Minor/Beachy/Teheran/Hanson rotation…would have been so much fun. Four of them all developed arm trouble.

If Ian can find his previous form that would be huge. We’d have a really good top 3 and you can start Ynoa and mix the pen guys after him for game 4.

He looks to be on track. The last three starts have been much better in terms of stuff.

K%- 34.8
BB%- 7.2
 
Got some old Braves games in the background during work and my god…Mark Lemke sucked lol
 
Yeah in my mind I always thought he was good because I was like 8. Then I randomly looked up his stats 20 something off years later

I wonder if some of the old timers here new how much he sucked during the time or if it drove them crazy seeing him hit 2nd above much higher hitters or if the game’s stats were so watered down they didn’t know any better

He definitely sucked, but everybody seems to remember his (reasonably good) post season performances and think that’s who he was.
