Atlanta Braves 2026 season discussion. (1st half)

[BhamToTexas]

I just don’t understand…

Baldwin hitting great
Move Baldwin to lead off and doesn’t work
Move Dubon to lead off and it works
Move Baldwin back to leadoff????

 

[BhamToTexas]

Riley and Yaz with HRs. Offense turning it on. Braves up 4-2.

 

[81usaf92]

Holmes is not going to be a Fall starter

 

[BhamToTexas]

Yaz 2-2 with 3 rbis and gets pulled for a pinch hitter.

 

[BhamToTexas]

Fuentes was fantastic for 3 innings.

 

[BhamToTexas]

Braves win!

Love we got this first one. Ritchie and Sale to start the next two.

 

[AWRTR]

Should be able to get a win with Sale on the mound. Winning the series against a very good Cubs team would be great.

Ozuna hitting .188

Ozuna hitting .188

Glad he is gone. Our current DH is doing great. I am glad Profar is suspended now. We don't need him.

 

[CrimsonNagus]

Can anyone else start besides Holmes? I think he threw 10 straight balls at one point and most of them weren’t even close to being strikes. He should be capped at 3 innings no matter what because you know the horrible inning is coming.

Fuentes seems better as a reliever. Perez also is a better long reliever. Lopez was a starter that was moved to the bullpen and he has not gotten better. Lopez might need to go to Gwinnett or Mississippi or just outright released. So to answer the question, no. Maybe we need to do a bullpen type game with Holmes, Fuentes, and Perez? Might work. Maybe switch up who starts?
