The Atlanta Braves Thread

Tyler Matzek, A RELIEVER, in 15.2 IP, provided 23.5% championship probability added by himself.

It’s one of the five best reliever runs (not including Mariano) of the last 35 years.

That Matzek run and the AJ Minter NLCS start the year before are so legendary. It’s one thing to run into one and hit a memorable homer, but what they did is insane.

Also Kyle Wright gave us 4 magnificent innings to hold things together that run as well.

Wouldn’t have had a problem with Renfroe for $5m either. I think that was the Royals who did that earlier

Wright declared.

Wright declared.

Good for him. Gonna have a nice career. Won’t be a star but solid #2 back

 

[zjcvols]

Good news is RB depth is solid. He was one we could afford to lose.

Getting Omari back at DT was massive

Yeah. ONL and Omari are honestly bigger keeps then the O line. DT was looking rough next season.

Eason comes back too and he’s solid depth

Everyone is paying attention to the portal and getting pissed off, but keeping everyone on OL/DL is waaaaaay more significant.

I truly do believe the team has a psych issue when they play in Philly. You can tell with how panicked their PA’s are compared to everywhere else. When the bank gets going, they wilt. I don’t know if that’s necessarily a team construction problem however.

I thought they looked shook early in Game 1, personally. When Suarez went through the order the first time and they were barely making any contact, they showed the dugout several times and Ronnie, Ozzie, Riley, etc. looked like someone had just punched their girlfriend and stolen their lunch money. It was wild how their confidence seemed to go that quickly given how they had mashed all year long.

Lott being back is big too

Add Hobbs/Weatherby/Herring (maybe) to the mix and that’s a nasty group

Was my first thought, he will probably be our tradedeadline lefty piece, instead of making an actual trade.

Getting cash from San Diego, then trading Carp. Power move Alex, Power Move.
