Do you give any credence to the idea that New York ruled against the Braves out of spite on account of the voting law?
Braves 2021
- Thread starter SoddyNole
- Start date
That actually makes as much sense as anything!! Good call.
I wouldn't give any credence to that at all, but wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be true.
We swatted that fly with a sledgehammer but ended up with the injury bug. Not a dominate team in the NL east at this point and we just have to survive the next few weeks while we get healthy. Yankees are currently struggling and maybe we can split or get a couple of wins this week on the road.
Did they ever say how far Freddie hit that 1st inning smash? He absolutely crushed that hanger.

I haven't seen every game, but I thought Riley has been doing a pretty good job at third base. I've seen him make some good plays out there and he has a strong arm to first. I know he had one throwing error in Chicago. Hopefully his bat will come around.
Freddie has had to make some plays and dig a handful of his throws so far, which is his job, but one would like to have better throws. Riley is surprisingly quick and covers the position well and has a strong arm but can get wild when he is rushed. I suppose we got spoiled with Josh Donaldson at 3rd.
Taking a baseball to the chin woke him up.
Good win tonight. It wasn't easy and it looked like Luke was going to give them the game but they manage to survive and get the W!
Hats off to Kole Calhone RF for the AZ for realizing on the spot the situation he was evolved in and making that moment a special evening to some kid watching his first MLB game. Sports is in desperate need of moments like this. There was a video where Aaron Judd plays catch with some kid in the stands with a glove before the inning begins several years back. Too bad we don't spend time appreciating these moments more in sports.

Four starters - d’Arnaud, Ozuna, Albies, Swanson - with BA’s below .200.
I did not realize the Cubs had picked up Winkler and he appears to be doing fairly well for them. Pitching coach matters and the Braves will continue to waste a lot of valuable resources and time with Kranitz on staff.
Great to see the lineup hitting it all around the park last night. They must have read Jon's post.
Hopefully we can continue to build momentum in this series.

Leo Mazzone must be rocking his butt off watching this pitching staff!
It was a game full of good pitching and hitting. I agree with Glavine's post game remarks this would have been the perfect moment to allow Ian to work into the 8th inning but lost coaching moment aside this game was emblematic of how you expect this team to play. Hopefully Ynoa continues his growth out on the mound and gives us another great pitching performance this evening and allows the Braves to return back to .500 ball.
Absolutely. When the catcher has to move his glove a foot to frame it, it's not a strike Blue!
Last 3 games have looked a lot better, offense seems to be coming around.
"...there's a lotta talent on this club, Charlie. The veterans are starting to play back to form and the rookies are developing faster than I thought. There's two or three potential all-stars in there. I think we're a first division team right now."
For the 11 Mil they signed Smyly for that would cover the salary for Melancon, Duvall and Darren O’Day
I'm so confused on picking him up. He hasn't done much in a long time and we are throwing 11 million at him based on AA's opinion that he has a lot of upside. Well AA we could really use that "upside" about now with our current two decent pitcher rotation.
If you are talking fantasy baseball, don't do it. He is done, and has been for some time. Speaking as a veteran of the fantasy wars.
Unless the current starters who they'll replace in the rotation once they return can give the pen a big boost, the Braves will still struggle. You know, they ain't hitting either.
Top three in the lineup were 1-12 today. If Ozuna is not hitting he’s a liability given his weak arm. Riley had a very good series at the plate.
I wasn't vert clear in my comment. I was puzzled on why AA had brought him in at such a high price.
The latest:
The latest: Soroka resumed throwing earlier this week and will need to go through a full buildup program before progressing to game action.
I was off by a couple of weeks. It will be about four weeks.
What a start to a season Ynoa is having, lol. 2.36 ERA and 2HR (1 GS) with a .385 BA and 6 RBIs. Hopefully Fried can return to form tonight who had a rocky start and some bad injury luck so far this season. Speaking of bad injury luck it looks like we are hitting the Nats at the right time in their pitching rotation combined with having their share of bad injury luck. We need Fried to have a big night in the worst way.
