2022 Atlanta Braves Season Thread: off season decisions loom

[KennyRogersRoast]

Thumbs down on the Duvall decision.

At least we have Inciarte to watch Duvall round the bases.

What an awful series and we still have two more. AA has his work cut out for him. Not sure why he thought it was smart to let Melancon walk for relatively cheap & why Greene hasn’t been brought back, not that he’d solve the whole issue. But not bringing back our two best relievers from last year while also not upgrading the pen is questionable. Might have to bring some of the young guys up to see if they can shore it up.

 

[CheesePritchard]

Well we are likely broke or withholding any room to play we do have for a deadline addition (likely BP or 3B/LF rental). It is definitely fair to question the allocation of the resources we have spent (Smyly, Camargo, Tomlin).

 

[CheesePritchard]

We're looking like shit again.

Ozuna might have the worst arm of any outfielder in MLB.

 

[CheesePritchard]

Snit should have pinch hit with TDA with 2 on there. Thank god Panda is the man.

 

[CheesePritchard]

Can Panda play third anymore?

might? I'm not sure there's even another contender

This. Riley needs to ride pine.

I take credit for yesterday's win. I streamed Miami pitcher Trevor Rogers to pick up the easy win against these anemic Braves. You're welcome.

Can't fault the way this one has started

 

[ipitytheblue]

hope ronnie is ok. left the game with a "strained abdominal." he's been so good so far.

Hoping for good news on this today. We're gonna be in dire straits if Acuna is going to miss extended time. He's either scored or driven in 37 of our 81 runs thus far this year.

I got flashbacks to Dortch's injury - Ronald knew something was wrong, continued to play and added another Head first slide on top of the existing injury.

 

[CheesePritchard]

Dansby is striking out every AB.

Dansby is striking out every AB.

Seems like it, and i can't tell what pitch is giving him the most trouble now.

I'm going with the slider.

 

[KennyRogersRoast]

One goddamn hit?

 

[Pilchard]

One goddamn hit?

Apparently, that sets an MLB record for fewest hits in a DH: https://twitter.com/ESPNStatsInfo/status/1386449911936339970?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1386449911936339970%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.chicagotribune.com%2Fsports%2Fbreaking%2Fct-madison-bumgarner-unofficial-no-hitter-20210425-aatya7azybeevo5iggcqwk7kwi-story.html

Of course, now that MLB made the stupid decision to limit doubleheaders to 7 innings like D3 college baseball, the stats aren't really comparable because the previous record was set when teams treated doubleheader games like every other game on the schedule and played 9 innings. Even so, 1 hit in two games against the D'backs seems impossibly bad.
