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
100% right.

I just watched the release of the news. They didn't mention the extent of damage and said he would be further evaluated by a doctor in Texas. He's already had one Tommy John and I'm pretty sure he's gonna require a second one now. They may try to rehab without surgery but he'll end up having to have it done again.

Does Bryce Elder get called back up now with Strider on the shelf?

UCL is pretty much Tommy John every time. He’s toast until mid season 2025. AA is going to have to change his ways and stop being a cheap little bitch and spend some money now.

Here's an example of not needing TJS today...

He's pitching at Gwinnett now, so I say no. Maybe his next start is in Atlanta

AA needs to do something fast. Fried sucks too

He can't do anything. No one is trading anyone worth a crap right now
ETA... fried has joined us now after 2 of the worst 1st innings I've ever saw

This. The Braves will be just fine

Definitely don’t need pitching against the DBacks. We will see about the Dodgers. The Braves offense is just elite. Ever since they cut down on the strike outs 2 years ago it’s been on another level.

They are relentless at the plate. They just don't get tight in any game and never are out of any game . Grinders!

Even with injuries from Strider, Murphy, and now Albies, the Braves are 11-5 and just took a series from the Astros on the road.
Team isn't even playing their best, but is off to a great start

Braves gotta be the best 7-9th inning team in baseball. They literally knock teams out late!

Yeah, what they did last night against Hader was impressive. Best reliever in baseball and they bullied that boy.
Just waiting on Ronnie to heat up and return to his mvp level. They'll be off and running when that happens

You got that right! It's so cool to know that even if they get behind early and can look like crap at the plate that they have a big finishing kick. They're never out of a game. They play so loose and relaxed, like a bunch of 8 year olds playing coach pitch.

The things the Braves have done to improve at the plate over the last couple of years is scary. Right now, they have the 2nd least number of strikeouts as a team in the league. The only regular hitting under .270 is TDA and they have driven in nearly 100 runs so far on only 16 homers.
It's sad that Strider went down so early because this team could have legit pushed for 110-115 wins. Losing him makes it more difficult to "save" Morton and Sale for the postseason. I just hope they can hold up for October.

I agree. The Strider injury really hurts. This is a team of professional hitters. Look in the dugout and these guys are always on tablets looking at abs and constantly making in game adjustments. They don't wait for the next game, they do it in game. I would love to see Smith-Shawver get a shot in the rotation or Waldrup(down the road). I know Waldrup has gotten beat up a little this year but the guy has top of the rotation stuff/potential. Amazing to that this team when someone goes down, it's just next man up and the others pickup the slack. It's fun to watch a real TEAM.

Need to find a top of the rotation starter at the deadline.
The emergence of Lopez has been good. He's the 5th guy in the rotation and has a 0.50 ERA. So he sort of minimizes the hurt of losing Strider, but you need top tier guy for the playoffs to pair with Fried, Morton, and Sale, because odds are, one of them will get hurt right at or before playoff time
