I honestly think it’s outrageous to not retire Freddie’s number 5. He was the driving force and leader of this team through the rebuild and eventually World Series. We shouldn’t blame him for leaving with his agent screwing things up. Freddie is a legend in the Braves organization. He deserves to get remembered forever with a jersey number retired
Crazy that we set all those records last year, and we are likely to only have one hitter get over 30 HR’s this season.
Reality's a bitch isn't it???
Thats how baseball goes- but if its any consolation they have a lot left in the tank
@@treypeters1087 I 100% disagree. Obviously every hitter but Ozuna did not put in the work this past offseason and it clearly shows. When you are trying to play catch up during the season, you’ll lose against teams like the Phillies and Dodgers. If I was a pitcher for the Braves, I’d be pissed because they’re great.
@@PickedUpABountythey have beat the phillies this season so far?
@@PickedUpABountyCouldn’t be more wrong every one of them worked in the off-season. Clearly you don’t get this team. They have battled injury constantly and a number of the bigger pieces made adjustments. Austin is night and day different from earlier. Jarred turned things around and so did Ozzie. Still waiting on Matt but no one was expecting a league wide power outage. We lost Ron and Mike and multiple guys missed time due to injury. Makes it pretty hard to operate at their best. However they have proven to be very much in the race. Despite a lot of struggle they have beaten the Phillies twice already. Don’t need a division bye to win it all. In fact look what happened last year. AA will get help and fix the bottom of this order. Not every year will be record breaking but they will work until they are back to normal. Their normal is very good
Is Chipper ready to be the hitting coach yet?
I agree we need play small ball less strikeouts and stop striking out we need Steven Kwan type bat in lineup he good player
They need to move Olson to five hole and move Ozuna up to clean up
When is Michael Harris set to come back. Rehab assignment after the All Star Game???? He's got to be getting very close!!
I think 💭 some bench guys should have more playing time @jake
A fair all around contract for Fried is a 100 million for 4 years with a team option for year 5 and 6
I dont know if AA would do that long and I dont know if max would agree
@@treypeters1087 he’s done 20 million a year for 4 years on Charlie so Fried is definitely worth 5 million more a year than Charlie
@@johnlee4763 max could get a better deal from at least 7-8 other teams in the league.
@@johnlee4763 i know its a good fair deal, but max is worth more on the free market- and even then i dont know if AA would go 4years- charlie has been like a handshake deal for 20/year
I think the all star break will do Matt good. With the draft coming up and trade deadline does AA look for pitching controllable starters
@jake mastroianni do u think we will get another player like Hank Arron or jones boys and I would like to have a Steven Kwan type trade made
We all say we need an OF but realistically how much will they play? Mh2 will be back in the first week or two of august and Duvall is showing a pulse and Eddie looks like the same dude he was last year so I’m going to assume snit is gonna snit and run the same guys out there everyday. I see eddie and Duvall platooning/ph for each other so we probably just add a bench bat and a pen arm. Some peripheral moves nothing huge. Maybe we add a bench bat that can play ss as arcia insurance.
What about Honeycutt if he drops to Atlanta
Honeycutt has insane analytics and advanced stats. He is elite at just about everything except hitting the ball when it’s thrown in the strike zone. That’s the one reason he isn’t a top 5 pick. He swings and misses a TON but elite power, speed, arm, defense.
@@joemi1219 exactly but if some how get to Atlanta not say he going to because I think I get draft way before he get to Atlanta but if there would think the braves would draft him or just go with high schooler ? The one thing week this point is high end outfielders and ss
I understand that people want a big time trade BUT if you listen and have followed AA that's not really who he is and besides the Braves only have so many prospects to even consider trading. If people would look at L.Robert's injury history would you really want to trade for him? And also if we were to use any prospect capital could it be the more reasonable thing to use those for are SP. We don't know if they will sign Max, we don't know how Spencer Strider will be when he comes back. What we do know is that the Braves have a window of opportunity and not much SP that is for SURE in the future except for Strider. We have Smith Shaver-possibility, we have Schwellenbach who looks like that he can maybe hold his own, we have Waldrop-possibility. Just my opinion, AA needs to strengthen our SP posiition, just saying. Thank you
Braves do not need to pick up any bats. Stay the course. If Olson and Riley are who we think they are, the offense will pick up. Maybe pick up a right fielder.
Cody news likely his agent using the Braves as leverage
When trying to win within the window of the players when is not enough not enough? They spent money. Realistically they could spend more… why they won’t to push themselves over that hump is crazy to me. They will make the money back. Go big.
They are over the hump dude, they are already over the luxury tax with few other teams only!! Braves have money, yes, but they don't have Yankees or Dodger blank check book type money. They will be hit harder next year if they are over the luxury tax again as well.
I am 110% sure the Atlanta Braves mangement will make totally, totally, TOTALLY better decisions in the drafting, trading and the acquisition of players, than the decisions of the Atlanta Hawks management lol.
The Braves scored 54% of their runs on HR's in 2023. In 2024, that's down to 48%. League average for 2024 is 43%. This doesn't seem like a "HR or Bust" number to me. The Phillies have scored 44% of their runs on HR but nobody is calling them HR or bust. The O's have scored 53% of their runs on HR but nobody calls them HR or bust.
The Braves have a "hit the ball really hard" philosophy not a "only swing for HR's" philosophy.
Hey Jake, Olson can't hit when the team needs it. It's a mental problem. It's something that you can't teach .
Don’t buy at this deadline. Sell if anything.
They just offered nola who’s 30 a 6 year deal lol
Says who? Nobody from the Braves leaks... AA has said that it works that way because only he and Terry McGuirk know who the team is targeting... There are rumors that they were hut Atlanta to my knowledge has never even admitted making an offer
I don't think so he need stay in la
The Braves shut out again. Are they working on a season record?? The offense is in trouble. Need them to earn their sizeable paychecks.
Everyone is trying dude stop using that cop out answer it’s lazy.
@@liamscorgie8859 Just my opinion. Sorry if I got in your space.
