2020 Atlanta Braves

[Fuga 180]

I figure we should get this started before the season shuts down. No jinx.

How good are you folks feeling about baseball being back & the likelihood of it lasting?

More, how 'bout them Braves?!

Me? I am optimistic it lasts. The Braves? Absolutely need to get the pitching set.

Sure as shit am enjoying it.

Soroka looks like he injured his Achilles trying to cover first base

 

[ss13 1832]

It’s official, Fuga killed him.

Probably too damn true.

Can we buy one? Presuming there was somebody to be bought at some point?

[ss13 1832]

Announcer fucking called this one.

Anderson making his debut today. Need him to be a hit, because we’ve wiffed on Newcomb, Folty, Wright, Touki and Wilson.  Guess there’s a high bust rate when you go after talented arms without much control. 
After Anderson, we just have Muller and he’s also a bit on the wild/unrefined side.
Who would have ever guessed we’d be hurting for starting pitching 2-3 years ago when we had the top 1-3 farm system and 80% of our top prospects were pitchers.

DGAF about the Braves, but this is amusing

 

 

[Fuga 180]

A very nice win over the Yankees.

Stayin' alive. (Aw fuck. Now that tune is already stuck in my head.)

[EZ$ 2105]

We’d have a chance if Soroka didn’t go down. Anderson seems legit and Ozuna is a monster. 

[Fuga 180]

Ozuna is currently my favorite Brave. Was ambivalent at the beginning of the season. Of course there is his hitting but almost every game I'm pretty amazed at his running. Not sure I've seen a big guy be that quick.

Freddie with his first career gland slam. Something like 103 career ABs without one.

...and another one today.

Something about having twins? 😉

Barves are up 22-8 over the Marlin in the fifth

[Fuga 180]

Fuck me.

ATL 22

MIA 8

still in the 5th and I gotta turn the game off!

[Buzzrock 14926]

I don’t know what your handle means but I approve.

25-8. New franchise record.

[McCroskey 1504]

29-9. 7th inning. 1 out.

Lulz.

Just like that, bottom of the 8th. Braves need 2 runs to beat the modern era record for runs in a game.

Top of the order coming up.

Total pitching domination against the Reds. 
Not bad when missing Soroka and Hamels. Future is bright!

[BigOrange1 6442]

no matter what happens going forward, hard not to be excited about the future with fried and ian anderson (and obviously soroka).  would be nice if kyle wright can also turn into what they're hoping he can turn into. 

[BigOrange1 6442]

gonna need to beat the marlins.  not many excuses not to.

[EZ$ 2105]

Disappointed in the outcome after being up 2-0 and 3-1 in the series, but overall, a pretty damn good season.
Hard to imagine we’d be a couple baserunning blunders (and bad bullpen/staff management in my mind) from the World Series after losing Soroka and Hamels for basically the whole season. 
Eventhough we’ll get Soroka back, we still need a Hamels-type vet in the rotation next year along with an Ozuna replacement. Pache will take over for Markakis, but would be nice to upgrade Duvall with a more consistent hitter since we’ll still likely go with Riley at 3B. 

[Fuga 180]

Disappointed but also amazed we got as far as we did with the pitching issues. Would love to keep Ozuna. we had some nice surprises I hope and believe will continue into the future, especially Pache. Let's hope Buck learns to pronounce his last name but then my real hope for Buck is that he just goes away.

Has Camargo played significant time in the outfield? Is Inciarte done for?
