Baseball Braves 2023
- Thread starter SoddyNole
- Start date
Remember when all the Mets fans were telling us everyone was playing for second in the NL East? Now they're selling off major pieces.
From what I can gather, he's apparently in NOLA this weekend for his induction into the Louisiana Sports HOF.
Braves games are so much more fun when they bring the lumber early and often, aren't they?
Will be a interesting couple of days leading up the trade deadline.
Looks like they’re trying to add a starter and a bullpen arm.

The Nicky Lopez acquisition yesterday really moved the needle! 🙄
A utility infielder? Why? Culberson has been collecting dust on the bench ever since they brought him back.
From mlb:
Lopez, 28, was batting .210 with three triples and 13 RBIs in 67 games for the Royals this season. In five seasons, all in Kansas City, he is a career .248 hitter with five home runs and 119 RBIs with 15 triples and 40 steals.
Lopez is considered an above-average fielder at second base and shortstop.
Hearn, 28, had just one outing with the Braves after his contract was purchased from the Texas Rangers on Monday. He has a 14.73 ERA in five outings with the Braves and Rangers this season. In 93 appearances (25 starts) over five big league seasons, mostly with Texas, Hearn is 12-15 with a 5.26 ERA.
Why not just call up Vaughn Grissom?

Just heard on sports talk radio that Minter is back and Culberson was designated for assignment.
Braves fans, the sky isn't falling. This team just took 5 of 6 from 1st place Milwaukee. All teams have a rough patch or two to get through; the Braves are no exception. Almost all the teams they've played since the break have winning records and are competitive in their divisions.
Now, if they start playing poorly against the Pirates and Cardinals of the world, I'll be little more nervous, but Atlanta, as much as anyone in baseball, knows what can happen to a double digit lead. See: Mets, last year.

The sky's not falling, perhaps...but having been stuck in the mud before, I'm familiar with that feeling.
The Braves acquire lefty Brad Hand from the Rockies for the pen. Here's a hand for AA:
Because he can't play shortstop
He also needs to play everyday, not have his development stunted by getting two AB's a month
Wouldn't shock me if he's the postseason roster as a bench bat/backup infielder
All is mysteriously quiet as the deadline looms in a few minutes. There are still a handful of quality starters on the block...Wonder if AA will pull the trigger at the last moment.
UPDATE: If so, it won't be Jack Flaherty... He's headed to Baltimore.

The biggest moves the Braves will make is adding Fried and Wright to their starting rotation.
Fried should be back soon, but if/when Wright will return is up in the air and that concerning to me.
Olson may have just received the quickest intentional walk in history. He was barely out of the on deck circle. 🤣
Fried has been in the dugout for this series. He should be pitching soon.
If I did the math right (a distinct possibly I didn't) the Braves are averaging 5.7 runs per game. That's a number that justifies their record and the season they're having. I just want them to keep that momentum going the rest of the season and carry it into the playoffs. This could go down as the best season they ever had in Atlanta.
MLB.com now has Fried down as the probable starter for Friday. 😁

This is what the Braves do; most of their wins, they simply bludgeon the other team to death.
And Baby Face has pitched like his early years.

The winds
The wind's blowing in today, but when you're hitting it 430 feet, it doesn't matter.
That was as stress-free a game as I can remember. I think Fried is back!
