Alek Manoah to win -105

5 walks, 1k, 3 earned through 3

@raw dog ?!

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Ozuna stared at that like he thought he did something.

 

[05_never_again]

Just realized Pillar looks a lot like Jon Rahm

4.1 - cut out a walk (very uncharacteristic) and he gets a W

 

[TBrown]

@TBrown I let you talk me out of Schwarber to HR.

Haha that was @LotteryPick .. all I said was v luzardo?!

 

[TBrown]

I can’t believe we traded our only offensive prospect for one year of joe jimenez


TAKE A BOW ALEX

 

[TBrown]

Good for Nick Anderson

 

[AV_12]

Hilliard a dude?

Big time pop and had hype coming up.

I know my guy 0zzie didn’t Homer. I know i didn’t see that in the box score.

sandwiched between a couple 70 mph ground outs and a strike out, leaving 5 men on base but yeah. Par for the course. make a bunch of weak outs and run into one once a blue moon.

Braves to visit old friend Drew Waters on their next road trip to Kansas City Friday through Sunday.

Nice trade by the Falcons of a fifth round pick to Detroit for cornerback Jeff Okudet today.

Hawks beat the Heat in Miami in the play in game.

Some pitching updates:
Anderson-TJ surgery. Should have seen that coming as he just wasn’t right last year
Fried-Threw off mound yesterday
Soroka-4IP 3H 1ER. Could be close to ATL return. I would be tempted to swap him and Wright since he is still in spring training mode as we saw last night

Is Dr. Jobe still the team surgeon?

His offensive seasons from 4-5 years ago seem like they were eons ago. Not the same hitter.

What happened? Its not like the guy is that old or falling apart...

I've wondered for a while if he still has wrist issues from when he hurt it in 2020. Now he's coming off foot and finger injuries. Wrist/hand/finger problems can be tricky for guys.

He just hit 30 bombs in 2021 and we are 51 PA into this season.

 

[AV_12]

The approach is always going to be what it is.

 

[Wickman]

Yep. Terrible approach.

 

[05_never_again]

He sacrificed average/on-base for power that year and wasn't a good hitter at all last year. He hasn't had a good plate approach in a few years now. IMO his hitting has been in decline since 2019.
