Atlanta Braves 2026 season discussion. (1st half)

[bamaee04]

You can't win them all, but man that was a terrible loss to the fish last night. Hopefully they can regroup. I agree Kim has been terrible since his return and the lack of a bat is even more of a liability at this point. Jarvis was doing a better job than him in the short time he had to start. Ritchie needs to be sent down and regroup...the kid has potential, but the control issues/walks are killing him. We really need another starter to make a run down the stretch.

I got to attend a couple games last week while in ATL for work and watched both wins against the Cubs. It has been a long time since I've made it, but the Battery and Truist make the game experience more enjoyable over the old Turner Field!

Braves place Baldwin on IL with oblique strain

The Braves could be without one of their biggest contributors for an extended stretch. Drake Baldwin, who leads all big league catchers with 13 homers, was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right oblique strain on Tuesday morning. The club selected the contract of catcher Chadwick Tromp and

We seriously need to get a better strength and conditioning program

Well, Richtie has been sent down.

Bummer has been fired. Can't say I'm too bummed about that one.

All good moves.

You were right on Ritchie and they did it. We are a long way from the stretch but I know what you mean. But I don’t want to do anything crazy yet with Schwelly and Waldrep coming back at some point.

Kim has got to be benched.

Another 0 for day so far. BA down to an amazing .045. So folks on Reddit are defining him because this is his "spring training". Okay, maybe if he was just struggling at the plate, but...

He sucks in the field as well. 3 errors in 7 games. Another one that should have been an error but the scorer was generous last night. For $20 million you've got be able to catch and throw the ball. He's failing in that department.

Start Mateo and let Kim count his millions on the bench.

Braves win! Heard the 8th and 9th innings driving home after my ruck

 

[CrimsonNagus]

Kim finally got a hit and an RBI!

Braves looking good against Junk tonight. That’s an awful name for a pitcher.

Yeah, it is a real bummer of a name.

Dom’s little league HR was hilarious.

He was out of gas at 3rd and died at home plate…lol

 

[DzynKingRTR]

Well, we can do no worse than tie the series so I will take it.

 

[CrimsonNagus]

Here I thought we just won the series. I didn’t realize it was a 4 gamer. That was a fun game last night. Like that lineup Walt used. Strider seems to be hitting his stride so I like our chances tonight.

 

[BhamToTexas]

A great bunt by Tromp pays off with a 2 run single from Ronald. Love to see that.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

Acuna leaves the game again. Thumb

 

[CrimsonNagus]

Not even 2 full games and he’s gone again. I don’t care that he’s day to day, this is ridiculous. His injury rate makes him not worth the price tag he will demand when he’s a FA.

I’m convinced he just refuses to play throw any slight pain at all. Meanwhile, Albies limps to first after getting hit and stays in the game.

I would try to trade him right now and see what kind of bag I could get for him. A good starter and some nice prospects would be a good return in my opinion. He's a great player, but a great player on the IL all the time doesn't help you.

 

[BhamToTexas]

Good grief I can’t believe we are talking about trading Ronald. Ludicrous.

Great AB from Dom and a fantastic bunt from Kim for 2 runs. Braves up 2-1.

 

[BhamToTexas]

Braves win in free baseball! Should have gotten it done in the tenth but they did it in the eleventh.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

Braves lose in a shutout. They got one hit the whole game. I feel like quoting Bob Uecker in Major League.
