Unkempt and over-caffeinated. Like TBS in the 80s, it’s all Braves and rasslin.

Alex Anthopoulos got Orlando Arcia for Patrick Weigel and Chad Sobotka.
Neither appears to currently be in organized ball. Sobotka hasn’t thrown a ML pitch in three years; Weigel in two years.
Orlando Arcia leads NL shortstops in all-star voting.
Alex locked him up at 3/$7M.

William Contreras and Shea Langeliers were supposed to be the Braves future behind the plate.
And they’ve been ~REALLY~ good so far this year. In 93 PA combined, they have a 124 wRC+ and have been worth 0.8 fWAR.
Sean Murphy has a 206 wRC+ and has been worth 0.9 fWAR in 52 PA.

The Braves World Series was literally the World Series.
@SportsTalkATL
Last year was the Braves World Series, if we’re going that direction.
An entire year of being called frauds, winning the division in Philly, promising everyone that it’ll be different and they’re more prepared.
Same result.

Diminishing a 40/70 season because the Dodgers sucked shit at 2B and Mookie had to go from being average at one position to average at another position is quite the route to take.
In the full month since this tweet:
Mookie Betts: .302/.432/.521, 5 HR, 16 RBI, 20 R, 3 SB, 1.4 fWAR
Ronald Acuña Jr.: .342/.398/.708, 12 HR, 27 RBI, 30 R, 10 SB, 1.7 fWAR

“he's only this high because he can strike people out”
Like yeah motherfucker that’s his job. If he’s the best at striking dudes out, he’s probably the best pitcher.
Having Spencer Strider at 97 is. Well. A choice......
Sure he's really good but he's only this high because he can strike people out. In no way shape or form is he the best starting pitcher in baseball.
Having him 2 overall BETTER than Gerrit Cole is absolutely insane

Huascar Ynoa
And that’s without even factoring in Dansby, Bryse, Wright, Pache, Contreras, Ajax, etc.

Remember when the Braves were thought to have a deep farm system and AA didn't want to trade any of the top prospects for rental players? How has that worked out?

I’m genuinely happy Ronald did this, even though he absolutely didn’t have to. We’re officially to that point where no one — media, fans, other players, etc — has any reason to hate this dude.
At spring training, Ronald Acuña Jr. walked us through how he felt after the Braves' NLDS loss to Philly:
"It's frustrating, for sure... I also just want to take this moment to apologize to all of y'all since obviously I was a little frustrated after we lost that series."

Literally every stadium in the league does this.
Here’s a completely random example of what it looks like when you win the World Series on the road.
The Atlanta Braves came rolling into Philadelphia, hit a zillion home runs, pranced around the bases, mocked the fans, clinched the division and celebrated on our field.
The Phillies rolled over and played dead tonight.
This makes me sick to my stomach.

The 2024 Braves have lost almost 300 games of roster time between Acuña, Spencer, Fried, Harris, Murphy, Ozzie, Riley, and Arcia this season, and that number will swell by at least another 250+ games between now and October.
