When Nate came to bat earlier in the game with the bases loaded, 1 out, I just said damn. I knew he was going to strikeout and cost us a chance of atleast getting 1 run for Kawakami last night. That one run was the difference in the game. Melky doesnt have a high BA, but he's been swinging a pretty good bat as of late, I'd rather have him in there everyday. The Braves really need to do something with Nate, and go after another OF. When he crashed into Jason, I just held my breath, hoping Jason wasnt hurt. Glad he was alright.

I'd been holding out hope for KK to turn things around. Last year he started slow but played really well after the first two months. But after last night, I'm convinced he needs to go to the pen. When JJ returns, KK better be in the pen and not Medlen. And if someone goes down or we need someone to make a spot start I'd like to see Resop given the chance.

KK should be making the spot starts over Resop once Jurrjens comes back. Dominating AAA hitters isn't that impressive to me. What I saw from Resop last night was the same thing he brought to the table two years ago: a straight fastball and flat off-speed stuff. Once JJ and Saito are healthy, the pitching staff should look like:

Jurrjens

Hanson

Hudson

Lowe

Medlen

Wagner

Saito

Moylan

Venters

O'Flaherty

Kimbrel

Kawakami

That's our best pitching staff 1-12.

It's hard to disagree with that. I think the advantage of giving Resop a couple starts is hoping that he does well and can increase his trade value, then ship him off in a package for another bat. Although if he sucks it could have the opposite effect. Maybe let him start against a shitty offense.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
