Baseball Braves 2023
- Thread starter SoddyNole
- Start date
Olson HAS to be the front runner for MVP, right? 80 RBI's in mid-July. Wow.
I suppose it could be either Olson or Acuna at this point in the season. But does a .258 BA get you the MVP title????
WIth 120 RBI's? You bet your sweet bippie it does. Acuna is great, but who has the most game winning hits this year?
And the fish lose a half game to boot.Fillies lost and the mutts are losing!
I have to admit when Yates gave up the home run in the eighth to make it a 5-3 game I thought the Braves were done. Huge bottom half of the eighth for Atlanta ... and Iglesias made me sweat the ninth.
The non-steroid era NL record for home runs in a season is 59 by Giancarlo Stanton in 2017...Olson has a legit chance to break it
Great night for the Bravos! Gained another game on both the fillies and fish. Nice to see Soroka with a strong outing tonight.
There are quite a few minor league parks within a two hour driving radius of where I live; I'd love to see these guys come down and play.

'Banana Ball': Introducing the baseball iteration taking the sport by storm
MLB could learn a thing or two from the Savannah Bananas.
Surprising .... one of their best pitchers, Alcantara, is 3-9.
BTW, Winans is awful ... he will be lucky to get out of the third inning.

Starting to get a little nervous about the Orioles... They're now within four games of the Braves for MLB's best record. The series against Baltimore earlier this season was a humdinger, and I said at its conclusion that it would make a great World Series matchup. If that indeed comes to fruition, I'd like for a potential game 7 to be played at Truist.
Interesting development ... I thought Soroka looked solid, but not dominant, against Milwaukee. Figured he would work this out with more starts. I wonder if there is something more here. Chirinos doesn't seem like much of an upgrade.
I think the key phrase is "and can be optioned". I expect Soroka to be back in Atlanta this year.
I hope so. He gets called up when they've already clinched their place and be given some more innings.

From the AJC:
"The Braves sent him back to Gwinnett on Sunday. This came after a not-terrible start Friday – six innings, four earned runs. It's clear the Soroka of 2023 isn't the Soroka of 2019, which is understandable. He went two years without pitching.
Also clear: The Braves don't believe they can rely on Soroka, at least not yet, for more than an occasional big-league start. This is the second time they've demoted him. His ERA is 5.52."

The start of tonight's game against the Red Sox is delayed by rain. Looking at the forecast, I'm not very optimistic about getting the game in tonight.
Wish it had gotten rained out. 😟
Interleague play hasn't done the Braves any favors this season.

Those were two ugly games, and not just because of the Red Sox uniforms.
Atlanta has lost 7 of its last 10. Johnson's relief appearance was not encouraging.

Acuna and Freeman a close second right now. Too much talk of MVP when you've got so many games to play i.e slumps, injuries, and somebody gets hot. If Acuna stays healthy and consistent; he wins it. Olson has too many strikeouts and has made eight errors and batting average, although improved lately, is still not high enough. Freeman hasn't even made an error. Acuna has made five....
Braves have got to get a quality starter for insurance going into the dog days. Flanigan or Montgomery from the Cardinals? Minter should be back next week which will help the bullpen. Fried back too, but could be rusty. Chavez, Lee and Wright on the 60 day IL.
Another series with the pesky Brewers starts tonight. The Braves have got to get back to their winning ways.
Bryse Wilson's in the game for the Brewers.
Riley and Olson welcome him with back-to-back dingers!!
