At least sports radio around here was ripping on Snitker for the game 1 lineup.

At a certain point in the offseason we’ll do a deep dive on Murphy. Maybe he’s got an injury, maybe there’s something funky going on. But he’s gone from being a legit MVP caliber player to sitting the bench in the playoffs in about 3 months

But he’s gone from being a legit MVP caliber player to sitting the bench in the playoffs in about 3 months He looks like one of those guys who lifts too much. That always makes you injury prone. Something has to be going on, because he's horrible right now. Good thing we dumped Contreras and gave Murphy a big contract. |

In other news, our pitching is in shambles:
Kyle Wright to Have Shoulder Surgery, Miss 2024 Season
Atlanta righty Kyle Wright will have shoulder surgery that will sideline him for the entire 2024 season, manager Brian Snitker told reporters on Saturday. Wright told reporters that an MRI showed perforations in the capsule in his right shoulder, the severity of which won’t be known until he is on the operating table. That’s devastating news for Wright, who had a breakout year in 2022 but was only able to throw 31 innings this season due to his shoulder problem.
The fifth-overall pick in the 2017 draft, Wright reached the majors as a September call-up in 2018 but struggled to stick in the majors until an impressive showing as a long reliever in the 2021 World Series set the stage for his breakout at the age of 26 last year. Last year, he posted a 3.19 ERA (128 ERA+) in 30 starts, led the majors with 21 wins, and finished tenth in the National League’s Cy Young voting. He’ll now miss his entire age-28 season, though he remains under team control though 2026.
Wright’s injury could make Atlanta more likely to pick up its $20-million option for Charlie Morton’s age-40 season. Atlanta has Max Fried, Spencer Strider, and Bryce Elder set to lead the rotation next year, as they are this postseason, but Elder isn’t a strong number-three, and, after that, there’s far less certainty with pitchers such as Michael Soroka, Kolby Allard, Huascar Ynoa (who is due back from his September 2022 Tommy John surgery), and prospects Hurston Waldrep, AJ Shawver-Smith, Jared Shuster, Dylan Dodd, and Darius Vines. With Wright now out for the year, Altanta will likely have to add at least one starter this offseason, even if they do pick up Morton’s option.
(not news, I know)

But he’s gone from being a legit MVP caliber player to sitting the bench in the playoffs in about 3 months That guy isn’t quite right, Murphy isn’t really “sitting,” he’s just in his normal every other day platoon. His problems started at the same time the dumb platoon started. He’s getting half the ABs he should. I really believe that’s making things worse. |

"Snit said they haven’t determined who will start Game 3. Smith-Shawver? Elder ? Opener? Could depend on today’s result.
Via Mark Bowman MLB"
Oh dear gads... Snit is going to do some more managering. "How's about lets start a rookie with 5 starts on rhe road in the playoffs."

Oh and we're gonna get that kind of game from the ump?
Let's see if he doesn't give that to Wheeler.

Had Turner struck out on a great pitch he then hits a double.
