Atlanta Braves 2026 season discussion. (1st half)

Acuna on the 10-15 day IL. So much for day to day.

It’s my fault for saying the other day he still had time to hit 25 Hrs and Steal 25 bases

LOL

We must have some of the worst trainers in MLB

Does Acuna stretch daily?

Does he stay hydrated?

Don’t Bananas help with muscle tightness/cramps too?

I dunno but you would think we would do every preventative thing possible to stop these stupid things from constantly popping up.

Braves lose the series. Not all that surprised. We cannot beat the White Sox when they suck, much less when they are decent

 

[BhamToTexas]

Let another quality start from Sale slip away.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

Tonight's game postponed because of weather. Game now scheduled for August 20th.

 

[CrimsonNagus]

So we avoid the sweep...


for now.

Well the way we’ve started against the Mets you would think we are still asleep at Gate 8 in Concourse C at O’Hare.

 

[CrimsonNagus]

I think Strider is done, like career over done. 87.8 mph fastball. That arm is cooked.

I don't feel as good about the season as I did a week ago.

This is bad news but not the worst news.

He’s going to have to change something to continue to be a MLB pitcher.

He needs to be a middle reliever or closer but he doesn’t have the durability to be a SP anymore.

He’s gotta back off the velocity too and be a pitcher and not a thrower.

Seems like an all around good guy though and I feel bad for him.

I always thought he would make an excellent closer.

 

[CrimsonNagus]

Well, horrible start today. Braves offense is dead, Elder struggles, all in the 1st.

Braves have bases loaded, no outs. Get only 1 run.

Mets have 2 on, no outs. Get 4 runs.

 

[BhamToTexas]

With 3 straight hits to start the game you thought it might be a good one…nope.

 

[CrimsonNagus]

I just watched a Braves pinch hitter who is fatter than me. Talk about reviving my hopes of a big league career. Off to batting cages!

 

[CrimsonNagus]

Well, 2 straight series losses. Is it time to panic?

The incredible start to the season made us all forget about the lackluster moves AA made in the off season. Is lack of moves starting to prove more costly? We have 1 dependable starter. We’ve had a pitching needs for years that AA just refuses to address with anything other than cheap gets, with hope and prayers that they work out.

We have shortstop that could be replaced with any one of us.

 

[BhamToTexas]

No time to panic yet.

 

[tusks_n_raider]

No time to panic yet.

Drake is back from his rehab assignment so there is that.

Maybe he can provide a spark and get us some mojo back.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

JR Ritchie will replace Strider while he is out. Ritchie did not do too terrible.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

Drake Baldwin is back! Hopefully he is still the same guy and it provides a spark.
