Unknøwn Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 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.

Unknøwn Posted May 9, 2022 Author Share Posted May 9, 2022 Even with all the time missed, Acuna is on pace to steal about 45 bases this year. NashvilleFalcon01, JDFIII and K26dp 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Acuna being a stolen base threat at the top of the order. I think Ozzie should be more aggressive with SB attempts from the 5th spot. Could allow the bottom of the order to do some damage.

Unknøwn Posted May 9, 2022 Author Share Posted May 9, 2022 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. Malachore 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K26dp Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 12 minutes ago, For the A said: 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.

Unknøwn Posted May 10, 2022 Author Share Posted May 10, 2022 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthopoulos wants that and Acuna reportedly told them he'll play CF as needed but he doesn't want to move there long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTrue7 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 So aggravating.. see a game is on MLB network, think “cool, I’ll be able to watch it”. Nope see a game is on FSN, think “cool, I’ll be able to watch it”.. nope see a game is on TBS, think “cool, I’ll be able to watch it”.. NOPE WTEVERLIVING ****! jidady 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jidady Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 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.
