I wonder if they finally realized that Smith was tipping his pitches. That may have contributed but his pitch location has been terrible and last night he located much better, he didn’t make any bad pitches. He does have a great slider, but when he’s so off with location that batters aren’t swinging at it and then he’s hanging them he’s in trouble. Because he isn’t going to get anybody out with his straight 93 mph fastball.

On Jul 26 the Braves had a 6.2% chance of winning the division, a 7.4% chance of making the playoffs and a 0.4% chance of winning the World Series. On Aug 18 the Braves have a 59.4% chance of winning the division, a 61.9% chance of making the playoffs, and a 4.4% chance of winning the World Series. Our chances improved roughly 10 times in a little over 3 weeks and this is without Ozuna, Acuna, and Soroka. Imagine the chances when you add those three if they are just having an average season. www.fangraphs.com/standings/playoff-odds?date=2021-08-18&dateDelta=

Imagine the chances when you add those three if they are just having an average season. www.fangraphs.com/standings/playoff-odds?date=2021-08-18&dateDelta=That's all accurate, but I have always found those percentages to be a bit silly. Even on July 26th when our chances of winning the division were at 6%, we were only 5 games back.. realistically that could have changed from 6% to 50% in a week. I get it, but making up 5 games over a 61 game stretch is something that realistically had much better than a 6% chance of happening. ESPN has a calculated win percentage all throughout their gamecast.. It will say in the 4th inning based on a 2 run deficit that the Braves only have a 23% chance of winning. 3 batters later that chance could be 58% because of a single hit. Now we have a 60% chance of winning the division and 3 days from now it could be 46%.

Luzardo for a rental of Marte. That's a damn good trade by the fish. No guarantees that Luzardo will ever fulfill his potential obviously, but there's no arguing that they're stockpiling some mighty fine arms, or that they gave up practically nothing to get Luzardo. They could still sign Marte, though it's not likely. At any rate, they're gonna be a force before long.

NYM Alonso takes pitch hard to the elbow (even with battle gear on). He is hurting. Took 1st base.
