@cparis__ @tomandmartys I was at that game, and to be fair Matt Turner started at GK and had a horrific performance. We were most definitely not at full strength and look much much better now.

Spain
Really good but we could upset them if we play great:
England
Argentina
Germany
We’d be clear dogs but we can def beat them:
Brazil
Portugal
Netherlands
Relatively even:
Mexico
Switzerland
Morocco
Belgium
Norway
Colombia

@jmoney1284 @MikeConti929 Doesn’t matter. Anything can happen in the WC. Look at Cape Verde, Qatar tying the Swiss, even the Aussies beating the Turks. Playing with good form in the World Cup and dominating like the USMNT have is not easy to do, even against lower competition.

MLB proposed an overhauled amateur draft system that removes high school players from the draft, per @JeffPassan
Imagine if Pittsburgh wasn’t able to draft Konnor Griffin 😱
English
@scottcoleman55 How does MLB have leverage to propose this if they also want a salary cap? In what world will the MLBPA accept this AND a cap?
English
Wow. Big news from JJ. No guarantee it happens, but proposals of no more high school kids in the MLB Draft, cutting the draft from 20 rounds to 12, allowing picks to be traded much easier, and an IFA draft similar to the domestic draft
JJ Cooper@jjcoop36
Major League Baseball presented a proposal to the MLBPA today that would, if adopted, result in a sweeping change to all aspects of amateur talent acquisition. Among notable points: high school players would no longer be draft eligible. baseballamerica.com/stories/mlb-se…

@RileyDaGoat_ I attribute a lot of that deadline to luck. None of those guys ended up being long term pieces. AA HAS NEVER acquired a SP of value at the deadline. Look at 2020, we DESPERATELY needed a SP and he settled for Tommy Milone in a season we could’ve won the whole thing.
English
@PrintTheHouse Well a trade deadline did win us a WS with AA as the GM lol
English
This team is really bad right now but the season is far from over, we still have a trade deadline, a whole second half to play and people coming back from injury. Gotta suffer through this bad stretch
English
@IndyHawk89 Waldrep in 3 rehab starts at RK and AA:
7.2 IP
5 BB
4 Ks
5 ER
5.87 ERA vs players in rookie ball and AA. He’s struggled mightily to throw strikes so far. You either gotta leave him down to let him figure it out or risk rushing him back like they have with everybody else.
English
@PrintTheHouse It was his first start back pal and if you don’t think he’s going to help this rotation more than Ritchie just move on because I’m not arguing with stupidity.
English
@RileyDaGoat_ I’d rather underpay for a pitcher with bad surface stats and good peripherals than overpay for a pitcher with good surface numbers and bad peripherals, if that makes sense.
English
@ChopAbusador @MHIIisKing Give em Ritchie, Murphy, and one of Guanipa or Tornes.
English
@MHIIisKing Genuinely curious to know how much that would cost prospect wise. Do they have any contracts to send over to lower the cost?
English
The Braves sending a package for Detmers and Soriano would be AMAZING
English
@ExpectedChop @ChopAbusador Idk he definitely has some value he’s a t100 guy, but I’d say he’s our 5th or 6th most valuable prospect and after the draft he’ll drop further.
English
@PrintTheHouse @ChopAbusador Yeah I was thinking a top 10 and a top 20
I am curious what Ritchie's value would be for other teams. I haven't been impressed but he's also only 22 with 6 pitches
English
The Braves have been trying to find an "answer" at SS ever since Dansby left
Jeremy Peña is their chance to finally have an answer.
Becomes an UFA after next season, so if you really like one of the young guys, you can let him walk
His .356 xwOBA would rank 5th on ATL
English
@ExpectedChop @ChopAbusador Prolly like an Owen Murphy and a Luis Guanipa or Owen Carey
English
@ChopAbusador I simply don't know our prospect talent well enough and I'm horrible at gauging trade values haha
But, some comparable trades:
Seattle got Arozarena for their #12, #22
Cubs got Paredes for Morel, #29, and a reliever
Peña would cost more, but those seem relatively similar?
English
@MikeCollectsMs @BeaneaterB Replace Fuentes with Ritchie or Caminiti.
English
@BeaneaterB All sarcasm aside beans. Buxton and Ryan for Owen Murphy, Fuentes and Waldrep. Throw HSK in there an agree to pay the remainder of the salary. Is this at all realistic?
English
Drake started out nicely with the homer but oh boy that’s a lot of Ks in 2 games.
English
@JuniorRushing @RyanLottinger I’m talking deadline. He’s made ok trades in the offseason, but he’s genuinely never traded for a good SP at the deadline even tho we’ve needed it multiple times. Look at 2020, shit rotation and all he got was Tommy Milone. And yes 2021 was lucky those guys got hot
English
He traded for Sale before the season. 2021 wasn’t lucky he grabbed people based off how they did in specific situations. You have t have faith in the team and the front office. If he truly doesn’t make any impactful moves this year when they have been the best they have been in a long time. Then yeah I’m done
English
Braves gonna get you Robbie grossman and Jake odirizzi.
Just Baseball@JustBB_Media
Braves manager Walt Weiss said Ronald Acuña Jr. is a “long way” from returning, per @mlbbowman. Acuña’s hamstring strain earlier this season kept him out 3 weeks, and the Braves are planning to be even more cautious with this strain.
English
@hhuanyc Braves acquiring a good SP at the trade deadline??? Impossible
English
If Stearns trades Peralta to the Braves he’s going into WITSEC.
SleeperMets@SleeperMets
.@JeffPassan says Mets SP Freddy Peralta has a 90% chance of being traded at the MLB trade deadline 👀🍿 Best possible fits listed: - Guardians - Athletics - Padres - White Sox - Cubs - Cardinals - Rays - Diamondbacks - Blue Jays - Braves
English
@IndyDrew5 Who the fuck gonna replace them 😭😭 wonderGM AA is shit at his job we know this.
English
Get Ritchie the fuck out of Atlanta. And take Kim, Yaz, and Leon with him
English
@JuniorRushing @RyanLottinger That shit does not qualify as a big addition I’m sorry. Sure AA’s traded for some relievers but he’s NEVER added a quality SP or long term valuable position player (2021 was also extremely lucky).
English
@PrintTheHouse @RyanLottinger The fucking point was before he joined he had a 2.2 era and was a big bullpen guy during the deadline. Even if it wasn’t the best move he MADE THE MOVE
English
@JuniorRushing @RyanLottinger Shane Greene 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 flexing a bullpen arm who had a 4.54 ERA in Atlanta holy shit
English
@PrintTheHouse @RyanLottinger Bro. Shane Greene. The most wanted bullpen arm in 2019. When he believes in a team he adds. Period.
English
@PerezIsKing @mlbbowman @BraveYardShift Injuries? Their only injury is Schwelly. Strider doesn’t count because he’s dog shit anyways. He’s here because our GM is an idiot and is scared to acquire good players
English
@mlbbowman @BraveYardShift Here come the inevitable people hating on a 22-year-old rookie pitcher who is only here because of injuries. Not his day, but he doesn't deserve to be shit talked.
English
JR Ritchie allowed three homers in the second inning. Should the Braves pursue three starters before the deadline?
English
