The Kingfish Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Starting today 6/20, teams can only carry 13 pitchers on the active roster. Braves currently have 14, so Cruz or Lee is likely headed back to Gwinnett and Demeritte is likely coming back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknøwn Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Joc Pederson will get his WS ring tonight during an onfield ceremony. Too early to think WC but these two teams are actually tied for the #2 WC spot. falconsd56 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Braves will have to make a roster move before tonight's game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknøwn Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Ford is an interesting decision. He's never hit much, including 5 for 29 as a Mariner this year. He also only plays 1B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I felt we might see an IF but I thought more of Kramer Robertson, little more versatility and another 2B. Hes also been hot at Gwinnett. Not a big deal but still a little weird to me.

I dont think they're ready to cut Ozuna's time that much considering the large paycheck he's collecting. They probably hope he'll catch fire, maybe after the ASG we'll see him reduced if hes still struggling. Snitker said he was going to utilize a 2 day plan. Contreras for 2, d'Arnaud for 2.

Is the two day plan regardless of who’s on the mound? I thought Snit was trying to make sure certain pitchers were matched up with certain catchers.

I thought Snit was trying to make sure certain pitchers were matched up with certain catchers. He hatched that plan but he's shifted a bit for it at times if he wants Contreras at DH. He just said going forward they'd be looking at keeping both catchers fresh and get them ABs by rotating every 2 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Contreras can play LF and have an entire offseason and ST it doesn't matter. They could also trade TDA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the issue is we have 3 catchers next year. Contreras is ready, d'Arnaud and Pina are under control for next year. So you'd think someone is going. Unless you can unload Ozuna and you feel comfortable splitting Contreras and d'Arnaud at DH. You want Contreras to get ABs but not hinder his development as a catcher.
