NL East smack talk

[fightinfunbags]

Fun fact, there's been 4 mlb players named Carlos Hernandez and they've all sucked

It’s just gonna be devastating to the Braves when the Phillies come back here and steal a win for a sweep and an 11.5 game lead.

Riley destroyed that ball and Tonto Joe Ross gets punished for that hanger.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Welp…time to put a fastball in Acuna’s ear.

 

[Cedrique]

Time for Sosa to put in an inning of work--or do they have to be down by 10 runs or something to do that?

Great performance by my Braves tonight, 9-3 win. Hopefully we can carry this momentum into our upcoming home series against the Red Sox and D-Backs.

Sale was great tonight. You want your ace to be a stopper. I hope Smith-Schwarber gets good health news.

Yeah it’s not good he was injured, our starting rotation has been solid but we don’t have much depth, I guess Bryce Elder will re-enter the rotation and he’s very iffy. And our bullpen sucks. But our hitting as is good as any team in MLB IMO with Acuna healthy, so hopefully it can carry us.

Harper out again tonight.

AJ Smith-Shawver out for the season with an elbow injury. Shit, that’s a terrible break for us, he had been pitching well and we are already shaky enough at pitcher.

Damn. That’s a tough break.

Another shit game by the Braves, couldn’t string together hits. They’ve been so goddamn disappointing this year, I’m really getting fed up, if they don’t turn it around over the next month our season may be over.

honestly, I'm just amazed we didn't cough that game up

Yeah I know, it can just be a long summer for a die hard sports fan like me when my MLB team is losing since it’s the only sport on. I expected the Braves to be much better, they just aren’t playing up to their potential.

Alonso's been off to an insane start. Hitting .333/.451/.646 with a 203 wRC+. Probably won't sustain that, but there's a lot to like that gives optimism for him having a career year. He's always had respectable K% rates, but he's down to just 14.8% so far. He's also walking at the same rate, well above his career norms. His contact% is up to 78.9% and his SwStr% is just 8.9%. He's got a .355 BABIP that is well above his career norms, but he's also hitting the ball harder than he ever has (95.6 EV in 2025; his career high prior to that was 91.0 in 2021). His 20.7% barrel% and 59.8% hardhit% rates are also career highs. His BA is only 5 points above his xBA (.328), and he's actually underperforming his xSLG (.702). I wonder if the colder spring weather have kept some of those doubles from being potential home runs.

Batting .243/.320/.449 since I made this post. Sorry @Used 2 B Hu

Clutch RBI double by Olson to put us ahead in the 1st today

Why you no good...!

Braves are hitting it well today, homers by Riley and Acuna. 5-0 we lead it after 4.

 

[Cedrique]

Phillies are pacing themselves in this one. 17-1 going into the bottom of the 6th. "We just need 4 runs an inning for each of the next 4 innings and to shut them down and we're tied."

Luzardo with one of the worst stat lines I've ever seen
