I take great pride in the self-torture of being a Tennessee Sports/Braves fan. Writer/Podcaster for @BatteryPowerSBN, @HammerTerritory.

@Gusshortstop @scottcoleman55 Oh no apologies needed haha just wanting to confirm that I am not suggesting current Sale is better than 90s Maddux

[Shawn Coleman @StatsSAC]

Just for fun, Chris Sale's current 3 year stretch with the Braves vs arguably the best 3 year run of each of the "Big 3" from the 90's (all between 94-98)

Now take into account this is Sale's age 35-37 years, where his K rate is, and how much fewer innings he's thrown

😤

[Shawn Coleman @StatsSAC]

@Gusshortstop @scottcoleman55 No one is making that argument, the amazing thing is how comparable his stats are to the big 3, no one ever ranked them lol

[Scott Coleman @scottcoleman55]

Ronald Acuña Jr. has been the most unlucky player in MLB this year

.362 xwOBA ranks 24th with 350+ PAs. He somehow only has a 108 wRC+ despite smashing the ball

Here are the wRC+ of hitters within five points of his xwOBA: 138, 133, 146, 140, 128, 129, 122, 133, 124, 153, 134

[Shawn Coleman @StatsSAC]

@1966rocks @ItsAMaysin Their 3 year stretch included the 95 season

[Shawn Coleman @StatsSAC]

Folks lol 😑

[Shawn Coleman @StatsSAC]

7-man rotation on the way…..😑

[Chad Bishop @MrChadBishop]

Reynaldo López on Friday in Louisville for Triple-A Gwinnett: 5 IP, 8 H, 4 ER, 2 HBP, 2 K, 70 pitches (45 strikes), four whiffs, 10 called strikes, average fastball 91.2 mph,

[Shawn Coleman @StatsSAC]

@joshgainer Or Common sense would suggest his 3 year span was 96-98 when Braves did not win title

[Shawn Coleman @StatsSAC]

@Shawn_Tat You were wrong to begin with lol

[Shawn Coleman @StatsSAC]

Just watching last night’s recap, but Chris Sale was just amazing

Know that most of his HOF career was elsewhere and he’s only been with the Braves a short type

But the quality of person and pitcher that he is make him one of my favorite Braves ever

Just a joy to watch him

[Shawn Coleman @StatsSAC]

@ScottyB64289058 No one is suggesting Sale better than Maddux lol the insane part is that you can actually compare Sale to the Big 3

[Shawn Coleman @StatsSAC]

@Shawn_Tat How’s that “Atlanta’s roster is not talented enough to make the playoffs” take from a week ago working out for you now

[Shawn Coleman @StatsSAC]

@trousdales I mean, that’s not true lol

It clearly shows that Sale has been the closest thing the Braves have had to the Big 3 since they had the Big 3, and that quality of his production is actually in line and in ways better than some of the Big 3 production

[Shawn Coleman @StatsSAC]

We all know Sugano is going 8 scoreless against us tonight

(This is strategic, by me putting it out there, it’s thought of so won’t happen)

[Shawn Coleman @StatsSAC]

@jasonmholder His 3 year span was from 96-98, the Braves did not win a title in that span

[Shawn Coleman @StatsSAC]

Obviously not ideal, and it is very fair to question the future of each of these pitchers

Not in terms of will they return to the mound

But when they do, plenty of reason to question will they return to previous form?

[Mark Bowman @mlbbowman]

Hurston Waldrep will have Tommy John surgery and Spencer Schwellenbach will have surgery to repair the same elbow fracture he suffered last year. The Braves still aren’t saying Strider’s season is done. But that has been the assumption since June

[Shawn Coleman @StatsSAC]

Especially when they took two point guards in the top 10

[Anthony Sain @SainAsylum]

Minny passing on Curry twice is low key worse than taking Thabeet at 2

[Shawn Coleman @StatsSAC]

@ItsAMaysin His 3 year stretch in this comparison was 96-98, in which the Braves didn’t win a title

[Shawn Coleman @StatsSAC]

Yes to all this

Really really really would be great if he all defense potential

(I don’t think Cason Wallace is realistic as I feel OKC is moving stuff around to extend him)

[Anthony Sain @SainAsylum]

6’5” or taller
Two way
Dribble, pass and at least league average from 3
