Red Sox @ Braves

Tuesday, 7:20, Bally/TBS

Whitlock (1-1, 1.25) vs Wright (3-1, 1.74)

Wednesday, 7:20, Bally 

Eovaldi (1-1, 2.94) vs Anderson (3-1, 4.01)

 

Whitlock will be tough, he was a RP but they transitioned him to the rotation cause his stuff is so good. His career ERA over 95 innings is 1.80. He also features one of these best sliders in MLB. He is from Snellville, GA so some nerves could get him. 

Boston has had a really slow start. They come in 10-19 because they can't score. Not too different from the Braves in that they have 3 or 4 guys hitting and the rest struggling. Bottom 3 of their lineup are all hitting about .150.

Justin Toscano did some digging into Strider. The Braves do view him as a SP long term and that will be his role eventually. They opted for an opener for him since he is so inexperienced. They thought Chavez getting things going and letting Strider come in would put him in the best position. Theyre also trying to slowly stretch him out. It sounds like the #5 spot will be his as soon as he's ready.

Is Kyle Wright eligible for ROY?

No, he lost rookie eligibility in 2020. The only rookie currently on the Atlanta 28-man roster is Spencer Strider.

Bryce Elder, William Woods, and Dylan Lee have been up at different points and would be eligible as well.

I wouldn't count out Drew Waters being the guy brought up. He's already on the 40 and he's tearing it up at AAA. He can also play all 3 OF spots and well. The future OF of Acuna, Waters and Harris has the potential to be elite on both sides of the ball. Waters is looking like he turned a corner

I hope Waters has turned the corner.  I'd really like to get DuVall out of CF full time.   It has to be affecting his offense.  Waters would be a better option out there.   Would like to keep Acuna in RF

Acuna is staying in RF. Anthopoulos wants that and Acuna reportedly told them he'll play CF as needed but he doesn't want to move there long term.

Awesome! Should we buy him a new car?

It's a running joke with my wife and me. We've got YouTube TV, ESPN+, MLB.tv, and all major streaming services. The Braves and Cardinals are still blacked out everywhere for us. So, we rarely get to watch a game live. MLB.tv at least has radio, and the MLB At Bat app posts highlights quickly.

I had to switch from YouTube TV to DirecTv Stream so that I could watch the Braves.
