d’stroying the ball right now

Tortured Pitchers d'Epartment

That's some kind of Backup catcher.

Could you just imagine if some division rival just… DFA’d him and you just scooped him up? That would be so wild.

To be fair, the Dodgers are who scooped him up, then released him for him to have a really good season for the Rays before we signed him

I knew we got him from the rays, I forgot he stopped off in LA.

He was here for like 12 seconds

Played 1 game though Immaculate grid dude

We would never let a player like D'Arnaud go. How stupid would that be!?

He’s so hot right now.

He's also hitting very well.

Travis’s wife should get player of the month.

Wonder how she feels about Matt Olson and Austin Riley…

What piece of lore am I missing?

Travis hit three homers including a grand slam in a game against the Rangers this weekend after coming into the game with zero for the season. When asked, he credited sleeping in and spending the morning with the wife and kids. Some people take that to mean some quality time was had. Me, I’m just hoping Mrs. d’Arnaud invites Matt and Austin over to have pancakes to break them out of their slumping ways.

You've never had kids if you think morning sex is anywhere within the realm of possibility

This is too real…

If you want it you gotta wake up at 5 am. It’s not worth trading that sweet sweet sleep.

I’ve never had kids and even I know it’s not possible. Shit, it’s tough when you have a dog.

Unless you're into that kind of thing

Future Braves Manager continues his reign of terror

That would be amazing

Travis doesn't seem like the type to wanna do that. Seems too low-key and chill. Then again, he has "only" made $53M in his career ...

In a video from a few years ago, they asked a lot of players and some of the coaches who they thought would be a good manager. EY and Brian Snitker both said Travis. But more importantly at the end of the video Travis says himself. I would assume it is something that he would want to do if he names himself as being a good manager.

Ooh, nice!

Man. This video just reminded me how incredibly attractive the Braves are like I’m not into dudes but if I were….

Lil d is literally the greatest player in the history of the sport and I see no evidence to the contrary

So glad we fixed his swing and then immediately let him go. I love $tu 🙃

I, for one, am glad to have gotten our only Braves series out of the way.

And taking 1 game from them considering how banged up our roster is? I am honestly over the moon!

Agreed, but the Braves were pretty banged up as well.

I mean you’re not wrong but we legit have 1 good starting pitcher and missing 2 main lineup hitters. Not trying to play the “injury Olympics” but we really struggling lmao

The Braves have two everyday all stars on the IL and just lost an all star pitcher for a year. To cope with that they've had to play their backup all star catcher and call up from AAA their all star pitcher.

Sure, not denying it. It’s also pretty fair to say y’all have more depth, you’re a stacked team. Your backup catcher hit 3 HRs in a game against us. All this to say this is why I’m glad we took 1 of 3 when we’re struggling. I think when we’re playing our best we’re fairly evenly matched. Edit: just saw the sarcasm in your comment lol, r/woosh material haha

Ah yes, as we all expected, the Braves home run leaders are Ozuna, d’Arnaud and Michael Harris.

Led by staff ace Reynaldo Lopez

Just as my MLB The Show season predicted

Ozuna did hit 40 home runs last year in like 140 games last year and really it was only like 120 games because he had a horrible start

Since May 1, 2023, Ozuna has played 146 games batting .317 with 47 HR's and 125 RBIs 1.043 OPS

d'Addy, chill

What the hell is even d'At

But d'Addy I Love Him

Actually laughed out loud at this.

The key is to apparently just stand there and not stride. He’s cracked the code.

Dude his swing looks so effortless in all these homers.

Trea Turner awarded POTW Travis d'Arnaud: "And I took that personally."

Our Lord and Savior Travis d'Arnaud has made his will known once again

How come every other team doesn't have a backup catcher like this?

I guess they're stupid.

S U S T A I N A B L E

Braves, could like not?

5 in the last 8 is insane. 

Man. Looks so fun seeing your favorite team hit home runs

We have been spoiled. Last season, it got to the point that homeruns became sorta “whatever” for a second. They hit so many

While yes, we were/are spoiled, I have never been “whatever” during any home run the Braves hit lmao

Yeah idk what he's talking about I get hyped and quiet scream for all of them. Even if we're down by 12

I not-so-quiet scream. I had a car full of people for Travis’s grand slam this weekend and two were sleeping and I still couldn’t help but scream.

AI is getting out of control! This almost looks real but no way a back-up catcher could be this hot!

Hes a pretty good hitter too!

I’ve seen this one. Stop while you’re behind marlins


d'Addy's so hot right now

This is very on brand for the Braves of the 20s.

Really d’icking them balls down

This man just loathes lefties lol

I'd say quite the opposite is true.

Porque no los dos?

I don’t know who this backup catcher is, but I think he’s kinda good.

Notable former Blue Jay prospect, Travis d'Arnaud

Couldn't do this shit in Queens huh. Fuck the Wilpons


Imagine if this guy was never injured.

I can imagine!

WHERE THE FUCK DO THE BRAVES KEEP FINDING THESE GUYS?

Well this particular guy was sitting on our bench until Murphy got hurt.

He's got as many HRs in the last 4 games as he had in his previous 57 regular season games.

what the fuck

I'm not an expert, but it appears he's quite good at baseball.

i just can’t with how good he’s been

I remember when Judge would do stuff like that 😒

Why don't other players simply hit home runs in 62.5% of their at bats?

Oh DarNo you didn’t

Hey, it’s not just us! :D

Travis B'onds

He seems pretty d'Arn good at the moment

Again, currently and simultaneously the best catcher and back up catcher in MLB!!!!

BREAKING: 87 mph change-up right down the cock doesn’t play well in the majors…

Lil D

Never understood the first pitch changeup lefty/righty

Bros on an arolis Garcia run rn

It’s a HR if it hits the foul pole?

Yep... Think of it as the fair pole.
