We lost. We have to lose SOMETIME. Still 57-28, eight games up on Fish. Let's start another streak tonite, and take two out of three from Cleveland. OFC
Hit the ball hard last night....just kept hitting them at people. How about Kolby Allard? Last 2 starts has shown why he was a 1st round pick.We lost. We have to lose SOMETIME. Still 57-28, eight games up on Fish. Let's start another streak tonite, and take two out of three from Cleveland. OFC
He's definitely looked promising.We did hit the ball well. I never think this team is out of a game. Something how we're even stronger without Freddie and Dansby,(At least W-L % at this stage of season).OFCHit the ball hard last night....just kept hitting them at people. How about Kolby Allard?

I hear ya' Boog! OFCGlad we got that loss out the way...lol
Looked good, jumped on Cleveland's arse early with a four run first inning!! Yes eight games up- should be more, but Fish are doing well. (Too bad, they're swimming upstream). OFCShook it off and had 18 hits. Did I see the Braves now have an 8 game lead on the NL?
This is terrific news, as it's been a long road back for our ace Max!!! Be nice to get Kyle Wright back too! Also, great to see Soroka pitch well last nite!! A lot of jams, but he pitched out of 'em!!! OFCMax Fried injury update: Braves ace to begin rehab assignment Sunday on way back to NL-best Atlanta team
The Braves have gone 25-4 in their last 29 games and they are about to get betterwww.cbssports.com
That's pretty pitiful!!! I ended up listening on Braves radio. Play by play guy Ben Ingram paints a picture.I hate games on Apple TV. This guy just said the Braves didn't know what they were getting with Sean Murphy. Yep, the best GM in baseball was just throwing darts at a wall when he traded for him and gave him a long contract. C'mon Man.
Upper deck job.... You're right Boog, the old prodigious shots like Babe used to hit. Strider pitched a gem. Devil Rays didn't have a clue!!! OFC3-run BOMB for Murph....his HRs are beautiful
🤣 True, wish we could pull this one out tonite smash!! OFCOlson has more homers than the Braves have loses. 😀
smash we're spoiled I guess, but we're way better than this. OFCU.G.L.Y.
Ya we haven't been blown out lately or much at all this season
Braves setup pitching to matchup well against the Dbacks this series coming up.
We have a number of Bullpen guys returning soon but I still think our major deadline deal is Pen arm. And I would be okay with it being for Grissom.
Fried seems to be treated with major care, won't see til August. Wright is 50/50 I think outside chance he might return as October pen arm. Walker of LAD is rumored to be willing to do the same coming off injury.
But forced to predict right now - I think Wright's season is over
Good post double A. I agree, I will be shocked if we see Wright again. Chavez was pitching pretty well out of the pen this year until injury. He's been out so long I question his ability to bounce back well.Ya we haven't been blown out lately or much at all this season

Unfortunately we're two more down in relievers with Minter and Nick Anderson. Grissom does serve as solid trade bait with his youth. Let's pull that trigger and shore up the 'pen!

Hadn't checked Shewmake's numbers lately! Will have to do so. I am all in for trading Grissom for a solid arm in the crucial stretch run/playoffs! OFCJackson Stephens is doing rehab assignment. He'll be in the mix.
Recent telecast the field reporter stated Chavez rates himself 85% back.
Yah recent success by SS Shewmake makes Grissom expandable. Is it worth spending the year training him a new position? I think cut bait now. Braves have good trade reputation with the success of Contreras and KC's Waters.
I think it's easier to acquire an elite 8th inning arm than it is rolling the dice on another Hamels/Smyly back end starter.
Soroka is interesting. So Ian Anderson returns in 2024. I think we are open to also dealing one of these young arms. Brutal meltdown by Allard recently in that regard.
Considered but too expensive to keep both in 2024. Him & Soriano.Kenley Jansen return?
Pitchers to the IL this year a nightmare for us! OFCAllard to the IL
Man I couldn't agree with you more 937, about a key bullpen pitcher and/or starter acquired in a trade. We do have some trade bait in the parent club and Gwinnett! OFCI’m glad the trade deadline is 2 weeks away. They absolutely have to get a bullpen piece or 2. And with how the starters are going, maybe a backend starter as well. I was concerned, even prior to last night, that Elder would fatigue in the playoffs. It happens to a lot of young guys. If they could pick up another starter it would help him maybe get some rest.
There are lots of options available. And I think we have talent that’s just on the cusp of being MLB ready.
