No but he is fricking filthy
It’s a question of if he should move to pitching for contact to try for more length or keep pitching fo rIs

Braves were 28th in MLB at challenging on offense
We were 24th on defense until Murphy came back and he rated 1st at it for all catchers so that rank went up

AA needs to demand only like two hitters on this team are allowed to challenge. Baldwin and Dubon has shown fair enough awareness to not make the worst fricking decisions ever on obvious strikes they can use them
I wish we would do a 1 and 5 swap :pimp:
As for moving down Shohai Sale has owned him his entire career to a 3 for 15 hits/AB with 1 2B and has stuck him out 7 of those 15 times.
Sale has owned their entire lineup except for freeman and betts the former has hit 2 HR and 2 doubles off him in just 16 ABs and betts is 7 for 18 against Sale with 1 HR

Drake does not need to be leading off.
At least it makes sense in this game. He has only seen Yamamoto 3 ABs and he took him deep in one of them
FWIW career numbers for some of our guys against him
Harris 2 for 6 with a double
Olson 0 for 6 with 3 ks
Acuna 0 for 3 but hit a HR off him in the WBC
Ozzie 1 for 5
Riley 1 for 5 with a double

You simply can't be a perennial contender if the only big contracts you give out are buying off arb years of guys already on your roster. You have to at least do some amount of spending on the FA market
This frustrates me in parts and is understandable in parts imo.
If AA doesnt want to dish out massive amount of money to starting pitchers in free agency im actually okay with that (which is why I was in the let Fried walk camp) mostly im sure there is some nuance here but the thing with pitchers is for almost all of them its not if they get hurt and miss tons of time its when, especially for starters.
What does frustrate me is refusing to even make competitive offers at low injury risks load bearing positions for your team like SS. CF is another one that looked like we were tetering into going into a very bad place with harris for like 1.5 years but he has totally turned his entire game around and is a legit superstar now. 1B we are stuck with Olson which is fine he has been worth his contract by WAR value every year hes been on the team.
I was very satisfied he spent on Suarez but Iggy has at most one more season in him and he needs to be ready and willing to spend heavily on a FA closer unless they want to turn Fuentes into a closer which would be stupid imo
AA in all seriousness at least feels like to me he is extremely good at finding cast offs from other teams or maybe not that bad players their own team considers a reclamation project and identifying which of these guys the collective unit that is the Braves (coaching, front office, etc) can bring them into our culture and turn them into categories ranging from extremely vital to much needed role player.
He has done this so many times now its impossible to believe it is luck. He isnt going to make big trades or sign the highest price FA but he is fricking great at what I typed out above
Example: Trading for Mahle. Lesser teams couldve made that same trade and just hoped he improved while still using the same pitch mix and % of each pitch thrown while he struggled in SF. We didnt just trade for him once he got here we basically transformed him into a completely different pitcher regarding his sequencing, the pitch mix he uses, etc.
Casual fans just watching almost certainly do not know any of this and likely think AA just got lucky. He did not. Tyler Mahle as a brave is a completely different pitcher in his overall profile than he was with SF and that is why he has a lower ERA as a brave than Sale does since when traded for hiim

Have played about 2 hours of the game. It’s really really fun and pretty addictive :lol:
Does the system continue to build and new things added or have I seen all it offers mechanics wise?

Another thread from you about The Most Successful Franchise In The History Of Organized Sports. Rent free bitch. You can’t even count to 27.
How many people 25 years old or younger can remember the Yankees being anything other than the most successful chokers in organized pro sports? I mean they wouldn’t have seen this but I’m 36 and I did and I seem to remember only one team has ever lost a playoff series after being up 3-0.
Ever since the last truly great Yankees team they have done literally nothing but either fail or choke
At some point what you did before the First World War doesn’t matter. We aren’t impressed

World Series game 5 Aaron Judge folks
I don’t think velo is a concern whatsoever for Robert right now
He was hitting 100 101 102 mph every fastball he through for that one inning in game 2. He threw 9 fastballs and only one was below 100mph at 99.

On a slight tangent note.
Harris put together a 4.6 WAR season this year while only taking 27 walks the entire fricking year :lol:
I truly don’t think it’s hyperbole to say if Harris learned to be okay with taking walks and have plate discipline like he showed in game 2 but on a consistent basis across a full 162 that he has PCA level ceiling

If he is forced to face a righty like Taeoscar Hernandez that would be a hell situation.
The simple fact is to be blunt his mechanics are not sufficiently repeatable right now to be a guy we can just say go get us 3 outs and have full unbridled confidence it gets done. If this wasn’t the case he wouldn’t have to worry about hanging sliders upper middle to be crushed 450 feet

Why is he using Ronald Simp as a pejorative?
He and Harris carried the team through the month of September but Ronald was on another level than even Harris in September.
He had a .950 OPS, and he especially destroyed Philly back when the division was still in play so people calling him not clutch just isn’t true.
He just showed us for an entire month he is still one of the best players in the game when healthy and can come up big when it’s needed. IMO he is just pressing too hard right now. Ronald is a very momentum driven player. He will be okay and people that make comments like “I’m ready to move on from Acuna” or whatever similar stuff are not serious people
It wouldn’t be the worst idea in the world to let him lead off again with Harris behind him batting second. I think that’s the best way to put him in the best spot to have success because no pitcher would rather throw to Harris than Acuna presently

I just don't have much faith in him getting multiple outs.
Yeah, it seems he is stilling having big troubles with actually getting clean innings, even if end the end he doesnt allow a run it is very concerning he has struggled to put together clean innings for over a month now.
I dont think it is crazy to say if you need a lefty in a leverage spot Dodd might be a better choice atm
quote:
They are obviously being very careful with Suarez, else he would've gone one more inning on Sunday instead of having Fuentes cover 3.2 IP.
Agree.
Good news is the inning he did pitch he was filthy. His stuff is 100% back and the command while still not id say fully back to his pre injury pitching it was still really good and a lot better than the game he pitched in against the Phils so his command is definitely getting better and trending up with the stuff already as good as ever.
He looked the best in the game last night than in like 2 months imo.
Go back and watch him face Max Muncy. It was vintage early year Lee with picture perfect pitch sequences, all the sliders are low, and he paints the high and inside 98 mph 4 seamer on a 3-2 count for the K.
Really as long as Lee is keeping his slider down, like preferably between the 3 inches above and below the bottom of the strikezone but at the very least below the middle of the zone he is elite. He has been leaving sliders up for like 1 1/2 months though now and thats why he has gotten shelled.
Last night he didnt leave a single slider above the middle of the zone

That looks really bad but you have to remember we basically just did 2 bullpen games on the road and came away with a split, it is really understandable why our relieve pitch counts are so high because we have used 1 SP in the two first games and that was Holmes for barely an inning :lol:
The hope and expectation is Sale and Mahle are both able to give us extreme length. LIke 7+ innings length for Sale and at least 5+ for Mahle to let the pen get as much rest as we can give them

I have to agree to disagree on Didi
I think there is 0% chance he will get into tonight's game. Even just to pitch to one batter as you said, because that still involves him having to throw 20ish pitches in the pen to warm up and on the field between inning frames.
And I am actually ok with this. It is very possible if not likely in game 4 but very much so likely in game 5 we could be in another situation where we need him for 3 innings.
Planning that out into the future and letting him have total rest today is far more important than him maybe pitching .1 innings in this game but thats just my opinion

The redux mod is freaking amazing if you enjoy Gwent.
It makes the NPC Ai way way smarter and better players, it alters some of the cards default number values and adds some things like making Skoetale have a spy, etc so the 4 factions are all way more balanced against one another instead of Niflgaurd being literally unbeatable, and lastly it adds over 100 new Gwent cards to the game using characters from the entire Witcher lore that CDPR didn’t use for their Gwent card characters. Last thing it does it is makes every possible Gwent npc opponent all have their own scale of difficulty so some random dude in a Velen marsh might be extremely difficult and an inn keeper from the innkeepers quest will be very bad, it makes it feel like the npcs all have a very wide band of how good or bad they can be
It makes Gwent way better and actually legitimately hard to beat
