wow with the one obvious exception the outfield crop is just putrid and meanwhile the Braves are stuck paying Ozuna $41m the next two years Anthopoulos doesn't gently caress up often but when he does he goes big

Welp the Braves finally ran out of fumes, this sorta crash has been coming and I’m amazed it took this long. Fun that they overhauled and doomed the Mets, but just as clearly the Mets doomed the Braves by making them go so far into the red for the division race. Hard to complain otherwise, Phillies always play the Braves tough and were obviously better this series. Team should be still pretty solid next year, and maybe properly rested. Keep Dansby (or snag an upgrade), get a real left fielder, and do the usual pitching carousel. Also the best time to ditch the name and the chop was yesterday but today or even tomorrow will do just fine.

Kevlar v2.0 posted:In terms of DRS, Andruw Jones is the best fielder of all time. That alone should be enough to get him into the Hall. people still underestimate him, i bet he played shallower than just about any CF ever too because he was so confident he could haul down anything that got over his head (which, with that pitching staff, was not all that often), so he could concentrate on vacuuming up would-be bloops

Guess I get the Mets seemingly nailing Diaz down for the year or two before he probably blows up but seems like an awful lot for the privilege. Then again, maybe they have just decided to take the cap off this year? NL East is gonna be weird next season.

RC and Moon Pie posted:Soroka's money is $2.8 million and it's worth every penny if he pitches to even one big league batter. I've long given up on him replicating his rookie year, but I'd love for him to be able to finish his comeback. Poor dude. Soroka making it back in any role at this point would be one of the feel-good stories of the year Braves also non-tendered a few folks but no one in any way noteworthy except maybe General Jackson Stephens, who I'm sure will find his way back to the team somehow oh and i guess Heredia but there wasn't going to be any room for him anyway elentar fucked around with this message at 17:40 on Nov 19, 2022 |

mdemone posted:If the average game length is such that, e.g. the 5th, 6th guy comes up just as often but the game can end on any lineup slot so the 1st slot will necessarily get the most and the 9th slot the fewest. i don't think that necessarily limits the other half of your question though as the starting pitching approaches shift, especially with universal DH and openers in the mix. batting order seems due a bigger shakeup than "best hitter in the 2 slot".

STAC Goat posted:If you’re saying most “conspiracies” are cases of a bunch of parties just turning their heads at something shady because it’s convenient to do so rather than actually conspiring with someone I’d agree. well this plus many institutions in society mostly organically come to structure themselves in such a way to make it convenient, even desirable for people to turn their heads, but almost never in such a way that any one group could be said to making and enforcing decisions (sorry will stop there, just in the middle of grading a pile of conspiracy culture class final assignments this weekend)

Just know that whatever rise he does the rest of this year and contract Dansby will get off to an utterly atrocious start, that’s just how he is in April he will give you a couple hot streaks though mostly when pitchers somehow forget they can’t toss heat middle-in against him
