Atlanta Braves 2026 season discussion. (1st half)

[BhamToTexas]

One hit, that was horrible. Holmes actually had a good game, struck out 10 in 5 innings.

 

[CrimsonNagus]

Today’s not much better so far.

 

[CrimsonNagus]

Not shutout again, but this was a pathetic series against the pitching staff that has given up the most runs in MLB this year.

 

[BhamToTexas]

Rally falls short. Bats dead the last two games.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

Just an awful series.

First Ted Turner, then Bobby Cox. Now Bob Horner has passed away. He was only 68 years old.

Where is the offense? Good grief wake up guys.

 

[BhamToTexas]

There it is! Thank you Olson. Tied 2-2.

 

[BhamToTexas]

Whew, that was shaky

 

[CrimsonNagus]

I just don't get why Walt continues to waste a spot in the lineup on Kim. He's an auto out. It's like we are back in the old NL days with a pitcher batting.

Is Mateo that bad at fielding? He did not seem that bad when he played.

The Braves are paying Kim $20 million to bat .100. I could do that for far less.

.095 now after another 0 for night. He is 4 for 42 this year. Maybe he wasn't really ready to come off the IL.

I know Walt is sticking with his guns on pitching vs battting match ups, but some of his lineups are so bad. Let's use our worst hitters and see what happens just 'cause of matchups bad.

Why has Smith been out of the lineup recently, using Mateo as the DH instead? Why, so crappy Kim can stay in the lineup?

Screw the matchups, start the guys that can hit the ball. Smith DH every night, Tromp catches almost every night, and Mateo at SS every night.

We got conned by Kim. He got his paycheck, and we got the worst Asian phenom in the league. No point in worrying about the money, and no point in starting him either.

Kim would strike out a beach ball while it is on a tee.

 

[CrimsonNagus]

Yep.

47 PA
42 AB
4 H
5 BB
2 RBI
13 SO

.095 BA AVG

.310 SO AVG

Even if this were his spring training, we would all be wondering what was wrong with him.

 

[CrimsonNagus]

Mateo 1 for 1 today with a 2B. Kim can ride the bench; Mateo is our SS.

 

[BhamToTexas]

Offense got it going today. I hope that slam wakes Ronald up. Watch out if so.

Homers with his first at bat today

 

[DzynKingRTR]

First team to 40 wins! Acuna homered twice

 

[DzynKingRTR]

Braves lose, but Acuna homered again.

 

[BhamToTexas]

Still a solid road trip. 4-2 against the Red Sox and Reds, 2 series wins.
