Bryce Harper is actually a perfect comp for Acuña's career to date. Harper's first 4 seasons in MLB: 147 wRC+, 5.9 fWAR/650 PA RAJ first 4 seasons in MLB: 140 wRC+, 6.0 fWAR/650 PA Harper's 5th season in MLB: 111 wRC+, 2.8 fWAR/650 PA RAJ 5th season: 114 wRC+, 2.7 fWAR/650 PA

@BeaneaterB "generational talent" remains to be seen. The words, " potentially a," should have preceded I wouldn't even come close to putting him on the same career trajectory as a Bryce Harper or Mike Trout. Would you?? The good thing about RAJ is his talent ceiling and his contract

The Braves rank 30th in Outs Above Average as a team this year. As a reminder, there are only 30 teams in Major League Baseball.

Sean Murphy is very very good. His season: Injured on OD Returned on 5/27 and REALLY struggled for about three weeks. Through his first 15 G and 56 PA of the season, was hitting .135/.196/.212 with 1 HR and a 14 wRC+ Since then: 32 G 118 PA .272/.364/.495 6 HR 137 wRC+

Since the start of the 2020 season... Josh Hader: 184 IP, 2.59 ERA, 2.72 FIP AJ Minter: 208.2 IP, 2.89 ERA, 2.58 FIP Minter is slated to become a free agent after this season. He'll undoubtedly get a lot less than Hader's 5/$95M. I'd love if the Braves decide to keep him

Is it a hot take to be completely unbothered by the Braves not changing their coaching staff or hitting philosophy? They were literally the best offense in MLB history a year ago under Seitzer. It was a stupid, cursed season

As a reminder, the Braves series outcomes over the last 7 weeks of the regular season: W W W W W L W W T T W W W W So yeah, they're 11-1-2 in their past 14 series.

Grant Holmes is legitimately good. Like... I think he should probably have a rotation spot next year.
