@choptalkbraves You can’t be too dumb to realize that when a bullpen has to cover 6 innings, they might need a low leverage arm to cover a few innings, are you? Truly some of the most unintelligent takes on this app.

@choptalkbraves @ReleaseBumLder How cute. 2 of the biggest bitches in Braves fandom have found each other. 😂

[Chris Lee @Reduck23]

@ChoppinBravos @BeaneaterB Always predictable. 8 game hitting streak and .850+ OPS the last 15 games, but if we extrapolate it out to an arbitrary point in time, we can say he’s struggling right now!

[Chris Lee @Reduck23]

@AJg2114 @dannykanell I don’t think they’re a shoe-in to win by any means, but this is absolutely the deepest team they’ve ever had in terms of talent and experience. That said, as an Oregon fan, I fully expect it to not work out.

[Chris Lee @Reduck23]

@AJg2114 @dannykanell The defense wasn’t nearly at the level of this one with Bo. If it had been, that team could very well have won one. Lanning was still building up the talent on that defense, particularly in the secondary. Last year’s team was much younger and lacked experience.

@joeybraves @jase1129 What does Alcantara have to do with anything?

[Chris Lee @Reduck23]

@BA_in_SC @geoffschwartz Yes, these guys are definitely going to those schools with low NIL budgets, and not the schools flush with cash and talent like LSU.

@BravesStash @MichaelVG19 Checking back in on another Holmes win, though in fairness, the offense did carry him with a whopping 2 runs of support.

[Chris Lee @Reduck23]

@BravesStash @MichaelVG19 Also he gets nearly a run less run support than Sale, and less run support than Perez. Elder is the same. Again, insinuating the offense is picking up their slack is also misleading. Both he and Elder get about 4.5 runs/game, which isn’t a crazy amount

[Chris Lee @Reduck23]

@BravesStash @MichaelVG19 I hate to break it to you, but FIP doesn’t mean actual runs, so the offense needed is unrelated to FIP. He has an above average ERA and is just a shade under 5 IP per start. He’s not an ace by any means, but the insinuation he’s an automatic loss is nonsense.

[Chris Lee @Reduck23]

@MichaelVG19 @BravesStash The Braves are 16-7 in games that Holmes had started and had won 7 in a row prior to his last start…

@RyanLottinger *bitch

[Chris Lee @Reduck23]

@RyanLottinger You truly do have to bit about everything. What an insignificant move to complain about. 😂

[Chris Lee @Reduck23]

@HooVApolitics I love Ronald, but does it feel like a safe bet to give him a large contract extension right now? Could wind up being Trout 2.0, and I’m talking about the current iteration of Trout with the injuries. Hope not, but worried that could be the case.

[Chris Lee @Reduck23]

@ChoppinBravos Turns out they didn’t need to score that many to win any of the 4 games. 😂

[Chris Lee @Reduck23]

@CantBeatAudel Get legit prospects for Lauer because he’s had a few weeks of luck with poor peripherals. 😂

He will net a front prospect at best.

[Chris Lee @Reduck23]

@Wittman7 @jro_27 @terry_larg53755 Plus, it’s easier to trade away prospects when you know you can just tap into free agency again and outbid other teams when you have a hole to fill.

[Chris Lee @Reduck23]

@Wittman7 @jro_27 @terry_larg53755 The surplus is because they don’t have to aggressively promote guys like smaller market teams, so they build up a stash of prospects. They’re also not on the same timeline and all won’t be successful major leaguers, so it can’t be viewed as 5 guys for 2 spots.

[Chris Lee @Reduck23]

@Wittman7 @jro_27 @terry_larg53755 The Dodgers have that problem, because they signed free agents that block those prospects. Smaller markets have to hold on to prospects to replace the guys they can’t resign when bigger market teams swoop in.

[Chris Lee @Reduck23]

@Jase_32 @JoeGiannacco I think you’re mistaking a few fluky home run robberies for Adell being a good defender. He’s a terrible defensive OF.
