Dawgs need to win this series to stop the slide.

Grab 2 of 3 here, take care of Mizzou next week and things are looking good again at 15-9 in the SEC
Still, plenty of guys who’ve sat below league average for multiple years still getting major league contracts
I’m frankly surprised nobody signed him to a major league deal

Here’s how he’s compared to the league average OPS each year:

2017: -.206
2018: -.022
2019: +.059
2020: +.104
2021: +.049
2022: +.026
2023: +.011
2024: -.064

5 solid years in a row followed by one bad one

Wait, did you really post a relief pitcher and two guys who were not as good as Skenes at a young age?


I posted 3 former rookies of the year who sucked arse just a few years later.

You saying Skenes is young and is only gonna get better like it’s some guaranteed thing is retarded. Makes me think you don’t know much about baseball.

It’s not like football or basketball where the rookie of the year is almost guaranteed to be an all star down the road

In fact, for many pitchers, their first couple years are their best year, as hitters become more familiar with them and learn how to attack them. There’s countless examples

But sure, go ahead and explain to me how it’s guaranteed Skenes will sit below a 1.96 ERA for the rest of his career.
“This ump is super tight”

- CJ Nitkowski
Jacob Webb has a higher career WAR and more appearances in a Braves uniform than CJ Nitkowski

Let’s make him the analyst.

Jesse Biddle, Robbie Erlin, anyone?
And while we are on the subject of announcers/reporters, I would also like to continue complaining about CJ.

With the number of former Braves players that live in Atlanta, surely they could get someone better than a career negative WAR relief pitcher with only 22 career appearances for the Braves who spends the entire broadcast telling everyone which pitches are registering as sliders and which are registering as sweepers.

Of course, it was probably just Liberty picking the cheapest option. The good news is that the money they save can go to the payroll, right?
I started this thread to complain about Paul Byrd being back

3rd straight week we’ve wasted a plus start from Curley

Still struggling to hit lefties….

Vandy goes up 2-1 in the 7th. Scored on a hit and run on an infield single where the runner went from 2nd to home

This will be a tough one to swallow if we can’t pull it out

First pitch of the 7th inning is a Vandy solo bomb

Curley has been amazing for us this year but seems to struggle once he gets above 80 pitches or so. Should take him out now IMO

Still 1-0 going to the 7th

Both pitchers are still in

Curley still working on a shutout. 1 hit, 8 strikeouts
