Moving on to the starting rotation - a group with at least 16 names we can talk about that are possible for the 2026 rotation right now. Despite that, the Braves are considering adding a starter and it makes a lot of sense when you dive into the depth.

JMU threw for 290 yards last week and still made this list because their passing attack was MIA for so much of the year.

BTW - in the same game, they kept the other Sun Belt team on this list, Louisiana, from reaching 50 rushing yards.

Which teams have the largest difference in rush yards per game vs pass yards per game?

Matt Olson and Nick Allen named Gold Glove finalists, but not Michael Harris II. To be fair, I'm not sure he deserves to be above PCA, Victor Scott II, or Jacob Young.

ICYMI...my look at the outfield plus a little on defense. Cliff's notes version: Acuña needs to stay healthy, MH2 needs to finally evolve as a hitter, Profar needs to stay clean, and I'm okay with not signing a DH if the Braves use it as a revolving position to keep everyone else healthy.

Sickness and other crap can't keep me down - completely. Today, let's dive into the outfield and DH. On the surface, the outfield looks set, but improvement is needed. What will the Braves do at DH is a bigger question.

The starters are in place. Can they stay in the lineup and produce is another question.

Plus having to watch Alonso run.

Listen, it may not be on the same level as contracts that hamstring teams for years, but I still think it's really bad.

Man, Penn State has certainly had an eventful run since Turning Point passed out all those "Freedom" shirts for the white out.

The choice to neuter aggressive man-to-man corners with constant soft zone was certainly one direction to go, Cowboys.

Soft Dallas defense being soft again.

That's cute.

Dukes keep Cajuns to 288 yards of total offense (477 of own) becoming the first team in Sun Belt history to hold six straight foes under 300 yards. JMU, Texas Tech and Oklahoma the only teams in the country to not allow 300 yards (researched by Kevin Warner)

Sigh, JMU students. Early game, close, and you still left at half time.

Tommy Poe @walkoffwalk.net · 4d

What a shank!

Tommy Poe @walkoffwalk.net · 4d

You just don't get away from Jacob Thomas.

Classic Dukes. Everything going well...then a bad loss on first down.

Stupid play call on second down.

Barnett goes for too much on 3rd and 20 and gets picked.

Always getting in their own way.

Tommy Poe @walkoffwalk.net · 4d

Holy shit, JMU!

Stepped up there!

The fact that the clock never moved was absurd, btw.

JMU defense cracking under the pressure.
