Call it whatever you want, 19-2 is a crazy record in league play.

You're trying to use this to mock them, but 38 CWS is insane. Remarkable consistency. And say what you will about their schedule or winning close games, but to run roughshod over this league this season, as loaded as it is, is very impressive.

Adding Misery was the worst decision the SEC ever made. Their overall athletic department is an absolute joke.
Why do OU people have such a hard-on for Mizzou? Is this some deep Big 8 lore I am not hip to? I didn't realize there was such animosity here. I get the Mizzou-KU hate, that one is fun and genuine.

I salute you for being a loyal Clippers fan for 3 decades, and you are absolutely right about the logo downgrade. Refinement Culture.

McDonald and Darling are both great. I think Keith Hernandez is a good color guy as well. I think the Mets probably have the best booth in the game and I'm a Braves fan.

Speak for yourself, sports oblivion for me is the end of college football season until the beginning of baseball.

But instead we inexplicably made a trade at Catcher, a position where we were set for the present (TDA) and near future (Contreras).
Yeah, I am in agreement here as well. It was an odd trade. This was a lateral move or slight upgrade at best, and you just don't trade young catchers who can mash. I am high on Baldwin for this reason as well. His outputs have been shite thus far, but he hits the ball hard and has raked at every level of the minors. I hope we don't make another rash decision trying to "upgrade" somewhere by moving him because who knows what Murphy is going to give you at the plate at this point.

Won't get an argument from there. AA out-thought and out-played himself in the Freddie negotiations, agent shenanigans or not. The guy should have never gotten to free agency and should have retired as a Brave.
I am also still perplexed as to what the plan is and has been at SS. Letting Dansby walk wasn't the worst move in the world in a vacuum, but unfortunately when your replacement is basically a utility infielder and your minor league options are complete shite, you may want to have a better contingency plan in place or be prepared to spend some money. Nacho Alvarez is about as much a SS as Vaughn Grissom was. Unless they acquire someone from outside the org, we're gonna continue to be a black hole there.

If tweet fails to load, click here. This is also highly irritating, and I have to admit I was wrong this past offseason thinking the Braves as an org were committed to winning at the highest level because this is not how you run an elite baseball club. I think they're gonna be in for a rude awakening with this penny pinching shite when they start seeing attendance tank this season because of the shite product they are putting out on the field.

What in the absolute frick has happened to this lineup? We went from one of the great offensive seasons 2 seasons ago to one of the worst performing offenses in baseball since May of last season. It's remarkable. It's insane. They can't hit their way out of a wet paper bag at this point. Seitzer was clearly a scapegoat and there are deeper issues at play here.

Look at the page you linked again. Look at the WAR of the starters (far right side). Now look at the drop off from the top four to the rest of the group. Now compare the other teams depth using WAR. Then add-in the fact that every year someone in that group goes down with Tommy John surgery.
AAAA/AAA pitching is not the key to success. That is what the Braves have beyond the first four. When they inevitably lose one of the first four it gets worse, like we have seen in the past.
I'm not sure what it is you're looking at or what point you're trying to make, but no one, not even the Dodgers, has much in the way of great starting pitching depth beyond the first 5 guys. The Dodgers sixth guy on that list is Tony Gonsolin with a 0.9 WAR projection and our sixth guy is Ian Anderson with a 0.8 WAR projection. The Phillies sixth guy is Andrew Painter at 0.5 WAR.

Either way, it is apparent that AA and crew are not going to try to bolster the starting pitching staff in a meaningful way this off-season. Every year for the past few years someone on the staff has gone down for Tommy John surgery, and they have piecemealed together AAA/AAAA pitchers to replace them. They keep doing this year after year, until last year when they got Sale. Of course they then immediately lose Strider, and they are back to where they have been. They piss away Fried to the Yankees, and do not replace him with anyone near his talent level. They are hoping that Anderson can come back like before, or the poor man’s Kenny Powers will emerge as the next great pitcher. Same song and dance, different season.
Braves project to have the third best starting rotation in baseball according to FG, just behind the Phillies.

they're not useful when they are approached as not mattering. That would be like looking at the NFL preseason game results and applying them to a ranking system of all-time great teams. Teams playing in bowl games knew they didn't count for anything. That's why some teams decided not to play in them. They flat out didn't matter
You're really hung up on the bowl thing. I do not buy that they "didn't matter" to the extent of being equivalent to NFL pre-season games. Pre-season games are scrimmages/practices to get ready for an upcoming season. The results do not have any impact on anything and no one approaches them with any regard for the outcome.
Bowl games were and always have been post-season exhibitions to reward teams for having successful seasons. They reward the winning team with a championship. They may have not counted towards the AP final rankings prior to 1967, but I don't think anyone with a straight face can tell me the players that played in those games didn't want to win or had no regard for the outcome of those games whatsoever. It's just a false equivalence.
