Braves and Falcons. God help me.

@King0fATL @SchwellenSzn They hired Hyers to get away from that approach, realized the players didn't fit the new approach, and went back to the old Seitzer method of swing as hard as you can and hope you run into something.

@CelliniNick @Braves @chrisdimino @MattEdgarAtl @MattLear @dt680 @680TheFan Re-sign Mahle

[David @David6615545102]

@scottcoleman55 He may have priced himself out of AA's starting pitcher salary

@rascoe41 @ChoppinBravos Seattle fell off a cliff in his second year. The hitting coaches aren't the problem. The players are the problem.

[David @David6615545102]

@colin_evans10 @mango_deuce @ChoppinBravos The league deadened the balls after 2023 and our guys don't have the well-rounded skill set to adjust.

@Trenciarte Welcome to playoff baseball, where the pitching is better. Great teams figure it out.

[David @David6615545102]

@RhubarbBrown Guessing he is one of those Vick > Ryan retards for.... reasons.

[David @David6615545102]

@MHIIisKing Phillies would never trade him here.

[David @David6615545102]

@MHIIisKing Would have to attach prospects to him to get anyone to take his contract

[David @David6615545102]

@CapitolAvenue Hiring Hyers and signing Profar told me they tried to change their approach after the dead ball season of 2024 but the players they have signed long term are mashers. At some point this year, they went back to the swing for the fence approach and decided to live with the results.

[David @David6615545102]

@I20Eric @GrahamCoffeyDC Lol if you still believe this nonsense. If Freeman wanted to be a Brave, he would be.

[David @David6615545102]

@Jasonshelton77 @mlbbowman The Braves offense has been horrible in the postseason every year since they won the World Series. Total runs in the NLDS since then, with games played in parentheses:

2022: 13 (4)
2023: 8 (4)
2026: 7 (3)

29 runs in 11 games is not going to cut it.

[David @David6615545102]

@kmccall451016 @dylanxshort They traded him for an older catcher, so the d'Arnaud part of this makes no sense.

[David @David6615545102]

@LawsonsCreek @RealMattBarbee @Reduck23 @b_outliers No, but there are penalties for going over certain luxury tax thresholds, and like it or not, every team (besides the Dodgers and their shady insurance money) does have a budget.

[David @David6615545102]

@LawsonsCreek @RealMattBarbee @Reduck23 @b_outliers All contracts are fully guaranteed in baseball, so even if they cut guys, they still have to pay them and count it against their luxury tax number.

[David @David6615545102]

@TGreenhutOD I'm a fan, too. I know how well liked those guys are. Nearly every fan I know thinks that group underachieved by only winning one ring.

[David @David6615545102]

@BillShanks Lee threw a bunch of hanging sliders on Tuesday too and got lucky that the Phillies missed them.

[David @David6615545102]

@BravesColdTakes The 1996 NLCS was the last time they won a playoff SERIES when facing elimination.

[David @David6615545102]

@GabeBurnsAJC Philly will be up 6-0 at the end of the second inning and will cruise to an 8-3 win. We've seen this movie a time or two before.
