Instead, we got more quotes from Atlanta Braves President\/General Manager Alex Anthopoulos, who gave us an idea of where the Braves might go during the offseason. The architect of the current Braves roster spoke with the media (via David O\u2019Brien of The Athletic) earlier this week and declared that starting pitching will be a \u201cpoint of emphasis\u201d for the Braves when it comes to hopefully improving their squad during the offseason. I highly recommend picking up a subscription to The Athletic to check out good stuff like this but here\u2019s the quote from AA:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"\">\u2026You can never have enough [pitching]. And it definitely will be a point of emphasis for us this winter.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"\">Now again, we all know how much GM Speak is usually worth \u2014 which is to say that as exciting and logical as it sounds, it\u2019s still safe to take this with a grain of salt. Still, it sure would be nice to see this team actually address the rotation after this season\u2019s plan of \u201cLet\u2019s hope that everybody stays healthy while also continuing to perform at a high level\u201d went awry. We\u2019ll see what happens.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<h3>Braves News<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">The Cubs evened up the series with the Braves in comfortable fashion, despite Spencer Strider delivering a solid performance where he went six innings and struck out eight while only giving up two runs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">AA also talked about Ha-Seong Kim joining the Braves and stated that both partiers \u201care in a better position\u201d ahead of Kim\u2019s big choice in the offseason as to whether or not he\u2019ll exercise his player option.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">ABsinceWayBack spent some time yesterday talking about how Bryce Elder is starting to get his insane HR\/FB ratio a bit under control in recent times.<\/p>\n<h3>MLB News<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">The Phillies are essentially starting to run away with the NL East after beating the Mets again. Oh, and Kyle Schawrber now has 50 dingers on the year. Great.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The Blue Jays pulled off a dramatic win in extras over the Astros with Tyler Heineman starting off the eventual walk-off at-bat trying to bunt and ending up hitting a grounder that allowed Tyler Straw to score the winning run.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Meanwhile, both the Mariners and the Rangers are starting to breathe down the Astros\u2019 necks for the lead in the AL West.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The Tigers and Yankees played a close one \u2014 well, until Detroit plated nine in the seventh inning. Obviously it got out of hand at that point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More comes out from Alex Anthopoiulos speaking to the media earlier this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":90966,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[738,323,71,2573,1631,139,2087,3406,2046,184,741,1362,3586,1198],"class_list":["post-90965","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-alex-anthopoulos","tag-astros","tag-atlanta-braves","tag-blue-jays","tag-bryce-elder","tag-cubs","tag-detroit","tag-ha-seong-kim","tag-mariners","tag-phillies","tag-spencer-strider","tag-the-mets","tag-tyler-heineman","tag-yankees"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
