July 2, 20233 yr I imagine this is to have an extra arm who can throw 2+ innings if needed, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see Soriano back up as soon as they can make that move. If so, I like the aggressive roster management.

Start Lindgren and then have Stallings close it out the rest of the way. I guarantee you they have no gameplan for Stallings.

Could there really be anything to it? I haven't seen much mention of this on Twitter or anywhere else. Edited July 2, 20233 yr by Rydawg

I haven't seen much mention of this on Twitter or anywhere else. i haven't seen anything. i googled it this morning but didn't go into too much depth. I saw some stuff from last year and the year before but it was just some random fan ramblings (much like ours). It's VERY suspicious though. I know if you told a Braves fan (or almost any other non-Marlins fan) they'd just call it sour grapes. But.... we KNOW the team is not THIS bad and they have been VERY GOOD for awhile now. The sheer amount of barreled up balls seems to hint very strongly at cheating. We know a team can just have a random "great" day where bats just find their way but not literally every fucking game over and over with multiple 5+ run innings. It's ludicrous. Literally NOBODY has hit Eury and this was the first time seeing him and he gets only 1 out and gives up rocket after rocket? Nah. There's something that stinks with all of this. I don't know what it is yet but they have some angle they're working. They just aren't losing anymore, like, at ALL...unless the other team also scores a ton of runs (like the Reds when they beat them 12-11 or whatever it was for their last loss - and even in that game they went up like 5-6 to nothing i think right off the bat).
July 3, 20233 yr Braves got heavy hitters and marlins sending out a rook and a bullpen pitcher to save us. Sandy has been getting rocked this year, so obviously not our best. Idk how they could know every pitch, but they might just be very good

Yeah, it just seems quite suspicious. I know some teams play well against particular teams and/or if you're always beating a bad team (like we always seem to play well against the Nats for years)........the last few years...ok I guess since we haven't been that good of a team, but this year when we're actually doing well....to be 1-9 with -54 run differential against one that one team seems ridiculous and starting to get outside of fluke territory.

And honestly should be 0-10 if not for that total 9th inning meltdown in the one game we did win (which would be out of their control in terms of cheating anyway)

Hopefully someone else can knock them out before we potentially have to face them in playoffs.
