I still like the Braves to run away with the division. Wheeler and Nola are good pitchers but in today’s age of baseball all you gotta do is keep it close until the 5th inning and attack the opposing bullpen. The Braves are built for that.
Bohm is trash at third and the Phillies outfielders have little league arms. That being said I’d rather play anybody else in the postseason.

Signing fried to an extension is a moot point imo bc I think he's headed west. I would absolutely sign him at 20 million though. Bad games happen to every pitcher

Yep, seems Fried has his eyes set on the West Coast. I really hate that.
Can we trade him to the Angels and hope he sticks? I am going to really hate him in a Dodgers uniform.

We could leverage a pitcher right now if we need to, but there's not much to gain unless your rotation somehow gets deeper dealing Fried.
I'll take the Bravos Catchers, primary IF, and 2/3 of the OF over damn near any team in the bigs right now.

Only for the Braves though! It's crazy how good he is as a Brave.

It’s early but Kelenick has been good. If he and Duvall can combine for 30 HR and 80-90 RBI in the LF spot, this team could be unstoppable.
The Dodgers have spent a ton of money but there is no team close to the Braves 1 thru 9, and I dare say the rotation outclasses most others too

It is amazing! I'm surprised the Braves didn't retain him after last year. He was great before the injury.

I agree.

Yep and good to see you posting, Hack!

Uh oh. Strider is going in for an MRI on his elbow. You just had to know this was coming at some point. I guess it’s a good thing that AA didn’t spend $ on Giolito too. I really wish he had pulled the trigger on Montgomery. You would have been the perfect fit for this group and the DBacks ended up getting him for dirt cheap.

It's just a gamble you have to take these days. If it's TJ for Strider, they'll pick somebody up mid-season.

Strider has a tear in his tendon in right elbow.
-
Sucks, but season isn't over. Braves won a WS the same year they lost Acuna for the year. Gotta baby sale and fried some
-
Need to go sign Trevor Bauer now.
-
Probably will wait until the all star break to pick up a top arm from a team that's selling.
This is still a top 3 team even without Strider

No way they do it, but man, that would be one hell of a replacement. I wonder if mlb has silently let it be known Bauer is off limits... if so, tell mlb if they let ohtani gamble, we getting Bauer haha
-
I would sign Bauer because he doesn't cost anything in prospect capital. A one year prove it deal at MLB minimum and I bet he would accept it just to be back in the league. I bet AA doesn't do it though

You need 3 starters in the playoffs. If they started today, sale, fried, and Morton/lopez is probably as good as anyone. I thought our 3 with strider was the best. Gotta keep sale and fried healthy

I don't trust Sale to stay healthy

Maybe not, but I don't trust any pitcher to stay healthy.
Playoffs are totally random now it seems... Braves had 1 starter in 2021 that was reliable unless you count Morton who got hurt in the playoffs. Rangers basically has 1 in Montgomery unless you count the shadow of scherzer
