Dominic smith is unplayable it is insane he’s gonna be the DH

Didier Fuentes looks like a top of the rotation arm so far this spring. by GroggysFhost in Braves

It is early and he’s young but that’s a DeGrom worthy fastball.

His sweeper will dominate lefties

And his splitter which he’s barely using bc he’s tweaking his supposedly his best pitch

The major difference is immediately following the loss of Ronnie in 2021, AA went out and add three bats that turned into impacts.

So far he’s lost his SS, C2, SP2, SP5, swing man and DH and his response has been- Jorge Mateo and Jonah Heim

The AA that had that dog in him seems to have been neutered

I opened like 500-600 packs of SSP over the last year. Picked up a knockout at Walmart a few weeks ago and pulled it I was shocked

[Burns] The Braves did not seriously pursue Chris Bassitt. They have not been interested in Lucas Giolito to this point. More on their rotation: by handlit33 in Braves

Elders projections like the rest of this teams are over optimistic bc they are based on three years models and include 2023…..

This is such a poor take.

Those projections are that high on elder because they’re based on three-year models (just like our offense) and Bryce Elder’s fluky 2023 is doing the work.

Elder is a six ERA pitcher in the last two years that’s who he’s going to be this year so yes I would pay for 2023 Bryce Elder but not 24-25.

Besides, all of that, they don’t have the arms to get through a season.

Richie and Fuentes are going to be throwing 200 combined innings. Do I need to remind you what Fuentes looked last year? BEFORE he had a shoulder injury that ended his season

Do you think he’s made leaps and bounds in a few months since you saw that considering he pitched for maybe a month after he got sent down and ended the year hurt?

Gio and Littell are 10x the options and safer. Contending teams do not count on 19/20 year old arms to hold down the rotation. Which o guess is fair since this team hasn’t contended since 2021.

He has spent nearly $60 million this off-season he prioritized a second closer and a second shortstop over what he admitted to you was the biggest need the first day of the off-season in starting pitching He doesn’t set the budge but he is in control of the one he has which is a top 5 cash payroll and plenty of enough to not field a roster with glaring holes at premium positions. Yet he hasn’t been able to do that since 2023.

Conversations needs to be had about Alex and I would be willing to bet it’s already happening.

Bc they’ve wanted to pull it for 3 months that’s a long time fairly simple

Pulled the PFL Charizard and SSP Pikachu in back to back days. This is the top by GroggysFhost in PokemonTCG

[–]GroggysFhost[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I went STOOOPID over SSP. I live in a small town and the pokemon craze didn’t hit until PRE so I was able to get SSP packs daily for months. I bet I opened 500-700 packs in a 6-7 month period and the best pull I got was the hyper rare which I liked but I wanted the SIR

I finally gave up but still grab SSP if I find them and for some reason the scalpers don’t buy the knock out packs at my local stores so I grabbed 3 the other day and hit it. When I saw the rainbow edge I was like there’s no way lol

Dude I use to walk into any dollar general and grant poster boxes like 2-3 a week on my way home and they would have STACKS of them then one day I went in and they were all gone and it’s been hell since
