Yeah letting melancon go was dumb. They made it to where they did last yr based on their pen. This yr they won’t make October based on their pen.
Was melancon gonna hit middle of our order? If the choice was ozuna or melancon, then the choice AA made was correct.
If you wanna critique a move, it should be smyly, not ozuna
I'd calling my shot on the braves landing a state player in one of these 2 trades...
Haniger and Kendall graveman from Mariners
Adam Frazier and Richard Rodriguez from pirates.
Either one would really help this team. Graveman or Rodriguez would move will smith to a 6-8th spot. Then you have Rodriguez/graveman, will Smith, Martin, minter, matzek, and hopefully Shane green. This would be 3 lhp and 3 rhp high leverage guys. Really shorten games.
The offense part is obvious... we starting f'n almonte and heredia. I expect Frazier/haniger to take more spot, and I fully expect drew waters to take the other one before too long.
Probably more than a little wishful thinking here....
If Freddy doesn’t start hitting soon, we may still be around .500 come all star break.
Freddie still has to beat the shift. If he would learn how to get a slow bunt down the 3rd base line when the entire infield is playing between 2nd and 1st they won't put on a shift anymore. I saw our AA team put the shift on a player who just bunted it down the 3rd base line. He got on safe. We shifted him again. He again bunted it and got on safe. Didn't use the shift for the rest of the series. There has to be something else going on with him. His stats are way below his avg and why has he been hitting 2nd most of season?
