2022 Atlanta Braves Season Thread: off season decisions loom

[DCDeac]

Locked up Strider. Dansby next?

 

[YoungBuck95]

First pitcher to get a long term deal. Dansby & Fried, please.

 

[Biff Tannen]

Pretty disrespectful for the defending World Champions.

We have tickets to the NLDS Game One, but probably can’t swing 1:07.

Yeah, this is ridiculous. I'm actually interested in watching a baseball game and this is what I get. And Wednesday is at 4:35.

What kind of extension would you like to see Fried get considering they have him through his age 30 season?

4 for $100 would probably be about right.

 

[YoungBuck95]

4x100-115m might be pretty reasonable. Or 5x125-140m

 

[YoungBuck95]

Yeah that

 

[YoungBuck95]

Kinda depends on how they think he’ll age. We only see short term deals from AA for older pitchers

 

[CheesePritchard]

Strider good. No Matzek. Odorizzi over Elder.

 

[CheesePritchard]

Robertson out for Phils. Hurt his calf jumping in celebration for Harper's game 2 homer.

Strider good. No Matzek. Odorizzi over Elder.

I hope Matzek can regain his velocity next year.i always trusted him the most

 

[Wakelaw2006]

Lots of cheap (<$20) tix available right now and plenty of what I'd consider to be decent to good seats for <$50. If the 'Stros didn't have the 3:30 game, I'd head up to the ballpark.

 

[DCDeac]

Strider good. No Matzek. Odorizzi over Elder.

Those all make sense. I'm sure Matzek hates it but I'm glad we're not pushing him to chase what he did last year. Minter has been rock solid as a stopper. Big question is whether Strider can start or not. Wonder if they'd consider starting him to lead off what would ordinarily be more of a bullpen game and hope to get 4 innings out of him or something. Such a difference maker when it comes to our starting depth given Charlie's inconsistency.

 

[tigerswood]

I feel the run expectancy here with how the innings have played out for the Phils is less than 1, yet they have 4. Just brutal. Should be 2-1 at worst.

 

[CheesePritchard]

Well Max botched a routine play and his fastball command has not been good.

 

[DCDeac]

Left them loaded twice... Phillies are hot, this should be a great series. Bet it goes all 5.

 

[WakeForest Fan]

good grief

 

[tigerswood]

This seems like a tough one to overcome going against Wheeler and Nola next in a 5 game series. At least we know it's a resilient bunch.

 

[Pilchard]

Baseball is the most unpredictable sport when it comes to post-season. It takes a 162 games (or close to it) resolve the randomness of the game. The Pirates beat the Dodgers in a series this year. Any team can beat any other team in a best of 3, 5 or 7.

See ya tomorrow
