The Atlanta Braves Thread (Javy Lopez Edition)

One win Against the Cards secures the season series against them, and every NL playoff team ATP.

Hey, you guys remember when Freddie Freeman was a tier below Eric Hosmer and Brandon Belt?

Hosmer: .272/.326/.422 0.8 WAR
Belt: .264/.345/.440 4.9 WAR
Freeman: .280/.353/.457 5.3 WAR

Would be curious of Hosmers WAR since June 1.

Was gonna say, he has been really good since the middle of the year

That's career total fangraphs WAR BTW

Also, I wouldn't put much stock in first basemen WAR in this case, was doing it for comparison's sakes.

Makes since because I know Freddie is hitting better than .280 at second glance...

Well, the way you subjectively use it, you shouldn't.

Exhibit A why Freddie is undervalued defensively. That isn't measured by the metrics but that stretch just got the Braves an out.

Because clearly Freddie is the best stretcher in the league.

Clearly.

And just like that, whatever's going on with Minor becomes more ominous.

Wow . . . He never turns on the ball like that. That thing was letter high too.

LMAO for using BJ as a PH!

i think during the year's first vol calls one of us needs to take it upon ourselves to get through on a call and

1. compliment butch's hair

2. ask if he'll consider wearing orange pants

Love the enthusiasm but I'm afraid your second sentence is still a bit premature.

I was about to ask where that info came from. Doesn't look likely to be a Vol?

Obviously Wu is way more plugged into recruiting than I am but the good news is that apparently when he found out his potential official OV to UF was the same weekend at his to UT, he said it would be UT then. However, I thought the word was he was becoming really intrigued by USC, not UF.

Well he just got another prediction to UT today (obviously those things are taken with a grain of salt). USC and UF are strong contenders no doubt, but he is consistently saying in articles he wants a place his family is comfortable with. He has family in Knoxville, so that goes well with us. I just feel like he's gonna be a Vol.
