Sad to see Soroka go for emotional reasons, but this is a good move for ATL.

[Mike Petriello @mike_petriello]

Trading 5 guys for a RP with a 6.79 ERA might feel weird, but Aaron Bummer had ..

3.53 xERA
3.62 FIP
3.81 DRA

Not at all hard to see what the Braves are doing here, especially for a guy who'd been quite good over the last few years, and for pieces who didn't fit them

[Jonathann Jrade-Rice @thefulton108]

Hell yeah

[MLB @MLB]

A historic season of power and speed unlike any other.

Ronald Acuña Jr. is the 2023 National League Most Valuable Player!

[Alison Mastrangelo @AlisonWSB]

OMG Shohei Ohtani wins AL MVP and asks pup to give him a high five 😭#mlbawards #almvp !

I’ve had Jeff Sh*ltz muted for years. I unmuted for a brief moment today to see what all the fuss was about and quickly realized it’s way better living in a world where I don’t ever see his tweets.

[Jonathann Jrade-Rice @thefulton108]

DIABOLICAL. I JUMPED OUT OF BED SO FAST.

[Jonathann Jrade-Rice @thefulton108]

@reach_baseball informs me that Eddie actually graded out well in FRV mostly because MLB has nothing but horrific defenders in LF.

But we do need to address the hyper-specific situations where we failed in the last two postseasons.

[Jonathann Jrade-Rice @thefulton108]

I don’t think it’s mutually exclusive to view the 2023 season as a resoundingly fun success and an abject postseason failure that demands at least a little shakeup.

[Jonathann Jrade-Rice @thefulton108]

Anyway, as an org, for the last four seasons we’ve been to Game 7 of the NLCS, won the World Series, and won over 100 games twice while losing in the NLDS. There’s no need for a complete dismantling of the team. There’s no need to fire everyone and start again.

[Jonathann Jrade-Rice @thefulton108]

I love Strider so much. Few players take accountability in constructive ways like he does.

[Travis Sawchik @Travis_Sawchik]

Spencer Strider with a masterclass on accepting defeat, responsibility (it's been lacking from certain players, execs this postseason):

"The people trying to use the playoff format to make an excuse for the results they don't like are not confronting the real issue. You're in control of your focus, your competitiveness, your energy. If having five days means you can't make the adjustment, you have nobody to blame but yourself."

[Jonathann Jrade-Rice @thefulton108]

And I don’t want to hear anymore about the bye. Maaaaayyyybe it has an effect in the first game. But this is game four. No excuses.

[Jonathann Jrade-Rice @thefulton108]

Can’t be mad at anything other than the offense, now. Just a really pathetic showing from the bats. The team pitched well enough to win the series. One half inning left to pull a miracle.
