Centerfield Old-Timey Member Posted July 25, 2024 Posted July 25, 2024 I know I'm probably jinxing things, but I find it almost inconceivable that Atlanta is 21st in runs scored. They've scored one less run than Washington. Their runs scored by month show a hot start, but they've been bad for nearly 3 months now. March: 6th in runs scoredApril: 11thMay: 28thJune: 21stJuly: 22nd Their pitching is still awesome. 3rd in ERA. Their pen is especially good. (2nd overall with a 2.95 ERA). We see their top three starters this series. So it's gonna be a hell of an upgrade after facing that Yankee scrub last night.
batmagadanleadoff Old-Timey Member Posted July 25, 2024 Posted July 25, 2024 Run prevention is as equally important as run scoring. The Braves lead the Majors in least runs allowed.

Johnny Lunchbucket Old-Timey Member Posted July 25, 2024 Posted July 25, 2024 I missed it but is Zimmo hurt? He looked limpy doing his post-walk sprint to first last night then I think they had Gamel run for him
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted July 25, 2024 Posted July 25, 2024 (edited) I'll reprint my quickie Braves KTE here from the Braves thread:Braves coming to town for a four game set but, a bit like the Yanx, they're not quite the team we've come to know in recent years.Still a decent nine games over .500 but they're five games under since posting their 26-13 high water mark in the middle of May. Injuries have been the biggest culprit — currently three position starters plus two rotation starters — but also some of their guys simply aren't hitting up to their usual standards.On the IL: 2B Ozzie Albies, CF Michael Harris, LHP Max Fried, RHP, Spencer Strider, RF Ronald Acuna, plus an assortment of relievers. But in addition to the injuries ....* 1B Matt Olson is hitting for a 688 OPS w/13 HRs [993 / 54 last year]* SS Orlando Arcia: 577 OPS after 741 in '23* 3B Austin Riley (currently on paternity leave but should be back by Game 1 or 2): is down 100 OPS pts from his three straight top-10 MVP years * C Sean Murphy (who missed two months early): 844 to 643* Only Marcel Ozuna is having a career season: .311/.386/.594 w/28 HRsSo for now, Jerred Kelenic is playing everyday and in CFThey've re-acquired Eddie Rosario for LF and Adam Duvall for RF, and are using brief NYM Zack Short at 2BAddendum:Ignacio 'Nacho' Alvarez Jr. made his ML debut this week going 1 for 9 in two games while playing both 2B & 3B.He's 21 y/o, a 2022 5th round pick out of a California JuCo who played rookie ball and high-A in '22. This season he rocketed through AA in two months and AAA in a month and a half [.336/.432/.575] because ... because of course he did.This is what Braves prospects do. Even the ones who aren't from super-premium draft positions. Edited July 25, 2024 by Guest
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted July 25, 2024 Posted July 25, 2024 I figured that Nimmo was just being pulled last night on account of the big lead, but that really is the B outfield group out there.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted July 25, 2024 Posted July 25, 2024 I'm sure DJ Stewart is thinking, 'Mendy finally gives me a start and it's against a nasty lefty like Sale'
G-Fafif Old-Timey Member Posted July 25, 2024 Posted July 25, 2024 Mendoza saya simple night off for Nimmo. Appears be could use it.
Johnny Lunchbucket Old-Timey Member Posted July 25, 2024 Posted July 25, 2024 It was the slowest time to first on a walk I'd ever seen from him.Also would explain a little bit why he sucks all of a sudden

Cowtipper Old-Timey Member Posted July 25, 2024 Posted July 25, 2024 I'm listening to Howie instead of watching the live stream. Howie is so much better than Gary Cohen.
ashie62 Old-Timey Member Posted July 25, 2024 Posted July 25, 2024 Luis paid no mind to Laureano and it hit him in the fanny

ashie62 Old-Timey Member Posted July 25, 2024 Posted July 25, 2024 The Mets are coming after Atlanta and Philly
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted July 25, 2024 Posted July 25, 2024 Edgardo in the house can't be a bad thing.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted July 25, 2024 Posted July 25, 2024 Who are all these Braves-branded fans at Citi Field?
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted July 25, 2024 Posted July 25, 2024 Decent outing for Severino.2 BBs plus 7 hits but several of those were soft.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted July 25, 2024 Posted July 25, 2024 Butto is matching Sale, punch for punch.I don't know who is impressing me more — him or Darling, who keeps predicting what his next pitch will be.
