Had a double header today so Sunday is likely a bullpen game or a minor league call up. Won 16 of 21. I’d be really happy if we get a split and really thrilled if we won 3 of 4

August 8, 20242 yr After seeing that block base call again, if I were the Dodgers I would be furious. 3rd baseman was no where near the bag and did not impede Bohm, this is another example of these brutal umpires making game changing calls but everyone likes it when goes for them so these dopes are never held accountable.

You pay the quarter, you get on the horse, it goes up and down, and AROUND. It's circular. Circle, with the music, the flow. All good things.
August 8, 20242 yr Let's hope August is this year's June for Schwarber. Guy was an animal last night.
August 8, 20242 yr As much as Rojas’ bat is an issue right now, his defense is a significant upgrade to marsh. Marsh isn’t good enough defensively as a CF. He’s good as a LF. With hays likely going in IL, likely seeing more Rojas in CF until he’s back.

He had a hit that allowed schwarber to come up and make it 4-3. Then took a walk so marsh could score on a passed ball and schwarber to Come up and hit a 3 run homer

August 8, 20242 yr Braves out here pulling a Phillies after the all star break with a far easier schedule than the Phillies. if the Phillies are the one seed, they are going to face the winner of the 4/5. Which right now would be the diamondbacks or Padres, who are both playing the best baseball in the NL. The Padres have a monster bullpen. that bullpen is scary and they have the talent. and the diamondbacks are getting everybody back healthy in the rotation and their bullpen is much better than it was last year with the moves they made. Not saying I wanna be the 2 seed, but you might ultimately be better off due to matchups. If let’s say the Braves/mets get the 6 seed and the Milwaukee Brewers get the 3 you would face either Milwaukee or the Mets/Braves in the nlds. I think it’s a better match up with how the Braves are playing and the injuries they have and just the overall construction of the Brewers .

Braves are again getting pummeled today by the Brewers 14-4 after 7.

Yeah the Mets are about to surpass them for the last wild card spot. out of the Phillies, dodgers, dbacks, padres and brewers I’d argue the dbacks are playing the best right now and going to get Kelly back soon and montero. Also lead mlb in runs. The reason their differential sucks is cause their bullpen wasn’t great before the deadline and their starting rotation has been hurt. Gallen missed about 2-3 weeks, Kelly missed 4 months and Rodriguez the entire season until yesterday. Pfaadt is about he only one who’s stayed healthy. Dbacks are +1000 to win the NL. 6th best odds. I’d take a gamble on them over teams like Atlanta, brewers who are ahead of them. There’s a reason they’ve played 18 games over .500 since June 1st and 22-8 in their last 30 games

Why don't they/MLB ever take a chance on calling up one of their big prospects instead of half ass journeymen or life long triple A players? Is it because if they are not ready they can ruin them? Like for example why not call up Crawford instead of Rojas?

Like for example why not call up Crawford instead of Rojas? Couple of reasons. First, they probably don’t think they’re ready to play at that level. Second if you call them up too early, you could possibly ruin them and they don’t recover and lose confidence. Third with their contracts, teams usually like to wait til a certain point in the year because of service time. If they start the season and play a certain amount of games, then that counts as one year of service time. But if you call them up later in the year and they don’t meet the required games active roster/played then you get them for another year on the contract at a cheaper price.

I kind of figured with some of those. I was thinking about Andrew Jones for some stupid reason and how he was brought up at such a young age.

Yeah they brought him up super young. But even his first year in 96 he didn’t exceed the number of games so they retained one of his years of service as he only played 31 games.

August 9, 20242 yr Again, why is Jt realmuto batting fifth? He’s hitting below 170 with runners in scoring position. At some point in time that’s what he is. He’s been awful at it for two Fing years.

Weston Wilson isn’t a MLB player and Rojas isn’t a a consistent mlb hitter. The fact Rojas tried to hit a grand slam when he isn’t a power hitter is laughable
