- •Soroka goes down in 3rd start •2 more of Opening Day rotation no longer on roster- 60% total •Acuña misses 8 games •Albies misses 15 games •Freddie dealing w/ after effects of Covid •Will Smith just returned •Top 2 C’s miss start of season sick The Braves are still 15-11
- Dear John Coppolella, Fuck you Signed, Every Braves fan
- Ian Anderson freezes Wander Franco for the strikeout looking. 95 on the corner against a kid that doesn’t strike out all that often
00:00 - Ender Inciarte is playing like a guy who knows he recently lost his job, got it back as others went down, and doesn’t want to lose it again Last 17 games .310/.429/.569 with 3 HR, 3 SB, 11 BB to just 9 K, then add in another multi-hit game tonight You can tell it’s motivation
- Do the Braves have their SS of the future in the org today? TBD. The good news. As of today they have #4 pick in 26 draft, and it’s potentially an even better SS crop than 25 group Not only is it a great college group, but another 8-10 preps with potential first round grades
- Braves first round pick Owen Murphy started again today in the FCL. 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K and 4 ground outs to 0 fly outs In total 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 7 K
- Today’s win to take the series from the Brewers: Win-Venters Hold-Brach Cost-500k of international slot money that was never going to be used Alex Anthopoulos is brilliant
- Sounds like Dansby to Cubs. Despite losing Dansby Swanson the 2023 Braves will be better team than 2022 version. •Acuña another year out from injury •Ozzie healthy •Look at Olson odd year stats vs even •Full year of Mike •Rosario has to be better •Pitching remains strong
- Michael Harris with an RBI infield single in his first MLB level at bat. Hard hit ball that the SS had to knock down. Congrats @MoneyyyMikeee
- The Duvall trade opens up 2 spots on the 40 man. One for Kolby Allard One for Touki
- I had Caminiti as the best prep arm in the class. Still just 17, 4 solid or better pitches and solid command. Athletic, good bloodlines. Up to 98 at his peak and has been on the radar for a long time, so he’s really been watched closely many times
- Count the errors on that play Dansby shouldnt have run, Dansby should have worked harder to keep rundown alive, Riley should have just gone to third, Nick needed to take 2nd
- Braves have signed an interesting UDFA, College of Charleston RHP Daniel Brooks. A 6’7 250 arm who had his best year this year as a starter and went to MLBDL and K’d 10 over 5.2 innings.
