Well then the only other option is he is just washed up

more than likely...it's father time

This is a bad look. If he's been hurt and hid it or wouldn't admit to it it's a very bad look.
This team would have been a lot better off if he had admitted this early and done the right thing.
He plays for the braves, just give it time lolW said:
Matt Olson has quietly taken over the major league home run lead
with 42 homers
wonder if any of the national media is aware of this

Olson is a very good player, but has never hit more than 39 homers and the guy misses very few games. Hard to believe he's THAT much better this year. It's a Brady Anderson type of jump.
I know if Dana does to us what he did in Atlanta, people will absolutely say something is up lolMathguy64 said:Marvin said:All I do is Nguyen said:He plays for the braves, just give it time lolW said:

Their whole team is doing this. Something is fishy.
I mean… at least we won't be cutting away from college football when he's chasing the HR record.W said:

They built their team with young guys that hit bombs. Idk just sounds like a juggernaut... Specifically for Olson, he almost hit 40 a couple years in Oakland, he's just a dude...

They are 40 HR more than the next closest team and about 80% above the mean.
Last year we watched a player magically set a HR record and an aging player who couldn't hit one off a tee have an August and September to remember to hit a magic number. Only to find the baseball was been manipulated. I'll make a decent wager something is happening here.

He met Sleepy Joe and realized what a bad look it is to be completely incompetent and useless.
Dusty Baker said he could tell Abreu was hurt: "I could tell by the gait that this has been bothering him on and off, at least since the All-Star break. A ballplayer is used to playing hurt. It's up to us to differ between hurt and injured."

José Abreu on his back: "I felt it at the beginning of the season, but it was something I just thought was normal. It went away. Right before the All-Star break, felt it again, but the same thing — it went away. But the last time I felt it, it just kept getting worse and worse."

Man after those prodigious bat flips from Singleton last night I was trying to remember the name of our pudgy 3B before Bregman who also had some masterful bat flips and remembered: Luis Valbuena.
I didn't realize he died in a car accident shortly after he left the Astros
I'll say it. That's BS. We all watched him game after game arm swinging for the first two months and then doing it again the last month.EastCoastAgNc said:José Abreu on his back: "I felt it at the beginning of the season, but it was something I just thought was normal.

a certain way about Adley? That he's a stud and future MLB Star hopefully?EastCoastAgNc said:— Bonda (@BenOndaTop) August 12, 2023
I know we feel a certain way about this guy, but it's an interesting comparison
It really started hurting when Singleton was putting them in the upper deck.EastCoastAgNc said:José Abreu on his back: "I felt it at the beginning of the season, but it was something I just thought was normal.
