What’s funny is the Braves have lost 3 no hitters on the last out of the game since 2015. Shelby Miller had his no-no broken up after 8 2/3 no hit innings against the Marlins, Sean Newcomb had his no hit bid broken up after 8 2/3 innings against the Dodgers in 2018, and then having it broken up...
Once he got past Aguayo I turned to my grandpa and started screaming and jumping up and down and completely missed seeing Austin cross the goal-line. It wasn't until about 2:30 the following morning when ESPN was showing the highlights at the local McDonald's where we stopped to grab a bite that...
Definitely 2015 for me too. I was there and have never been apart of such an electric atmosphere. Rocket toss was working all night long and then the most improbable finish to a game. I was so certain he was going to hit that kick and break our hearts once again. Hadn't missed a 4th quarter kick...
Yeah, like they are actually going to hold a team out for cancelling a game. That'll be a cold day... Why not fix the process of determining RPI instead of threatening to punish teams trying to improve their odds of getting in. You're the one who created this monster of "RPI over everything"...
I 100% agree with your thinking on Fried, but I also think about managing innings and pitch count this early in the season. I'd rather trust one of the best bullpen's in baseball to finish off a game in April than ask Fried to go back to back 90+ pitches, 7 IP+ games that could possibly risk him...
On the flip side, Harris is having a phenomenal start to the season and I believe Ozuna is either leading the MLB in RBI's or is in the top 3. Crazy depth on this team!
I'd also add we are 4-1 in extra innings games this year and an MLB best 12-4 since the start of last season. The Braves have figured out how to win close games late which is a big must in order to be a contender. Plus, we have to consider that Murphy has been sidelined since almost the whole...
I mean the division is there for the taking right now, and picking a pass rusher would have helped improve those odds. Now with their decision to trade up in Round 2 to get a guy who more than likely would have been there at pick 43 and give up 71 in addition to that is just baffling. They are...
The ONLY thing I can possibly think of is maybe pushback from the tampering investigation? But that would just result in a fine and/or loss of draft pick(s), right? Nothing would be done to Cousins? Even Terry's explanation of why they took Penix at 8 didn't really make logical sense.
I've been racking my brain trying to figure out how the Falcons can salvage this draft. Unfortunately, they've already ticked off their star QB signing before he even played a snap and have set themselves back defensively where they have multiple needs at. I would have even taken Odunze over...
Iglesias is giving me the Kenley Jansen experience. Sure, he is a great closer, but it seems like we might as well start the inning with a runner on first because one ends up on base anyway. With his contract running out after next season, it'll be interesting to see if the Braves try to extend...
Hopefully this will catapult him back into his groove. It'll be interesting to see how AA navigates the early pitching injuries we have faced. I think for now he is seeing if anybody from within will rise to the occasion. This trade deadline might be very interesting...
Not sure where to put this question, but does the run-rule win Friday affect RPI more than a normal win would? Does RPI factor in scores or is it just based off rankings, W/L's and site of game?
Oh my....that's one of the most routine baseball plays in existence and now runners will be safe?!?! I get not blocking the bag, but this is taking it to an extreme....
Health will certainly be key, but we look extremely deep pitching-wise. I don't think we have had a pitching staff this strong for a long time. Maybe the 90s?
