Yeah, I really had no idea who we was before a few weeks ago. Career (all minor) .269 hitter, so probably won't keep this upQuote:

I, too, like keeping up with all our prospects, even those in A ball. Sorry that bothers you.
Teheran is becoming a major concern.
My boy, ciriaco just got ph 2-run double with 2 outs off fister
Bethancourt with a huge 2-run, 2-out double to tie it. I think he's earned another start tomorrow. Atta boy Christian
Good come back wasted bc fredi is as dumb as they come. Martin should've never started the 9th. Jim Johnson was the correct choice. Martin had just got burned by uggla. Harper is killing everything so get the damn grounfball pitcher in fredi! He really is a terrible manager
beat me to it. have to use either your closer or a lefty against him there (not sure of Harper's splits). first rule of bullpen management is don't let their best hitter beat you, and if you have to pitch to him make sure it's the best pitcher you can use against him. Fredi doesn't know jack shite about how to manage a bullpen.Quote:

Kimbrel's season ERA sits at 5.68
Lol Padres won't be trading with the Braves again anytime soonQuote:

Harper needs one under the chin...for no reason other than to get him to change his approach. He's so locked in I'd like to get him thinking about something other than smashing the baseball. Same as laying a bunt down on a pitcher that's rolling...make him change his train of thought.
What the hell are we doing? Martin bout to lose another one. Where is Jim Johnson?
Cody Martin will lead the league in losses if he keeps getting late full innings. He was good for a while, but he's not fooling anyone now
Told ya. Martin has gotten 3 outs of his last 5 on base running but by all means keep running him out there
unfortunately this bullpen is going to need a lot of innings from him, he's really the only former starter that can probably handle the workload. this pen could really use JR Grahm. or a trade of somebody like KJ for a couple legit bullpen arms under team control for awhile.Quote:

no remaining options, probably would not be productive this year, if he was he'd start getting expensive by 2017. having just looked at his stats, his ERA isn't bad but his peripherals are terrible. if i remember right he looked terrible this spring. probably an injury issue there.Quote:

Triple-A Gwinnett #Braves Matt Wisler is International League pitcher of the week, 2-0 w/ 1.35 ERA in 2 starts, 1 BB w/ 9 K in 13 1/3 ip
Banuelos (AAA)...
3.06 era 32.1 ip 27 k 14 bb
I'd love to call up one of these guys and move stults to the pen. I'm sure we don't wanna start the clock on these 2 and folty, but I wanna see 1 soon.
Its officially offseason (yes, MSU baseball season is officially unofficially over), so moving this to the main forum.
Good thing you acted when you did bc the Braves season will be over soon too hahaQuote:

Not sure who shanks is.
Shanks is guy who broke the story. Fox radio and scout.com

Jace Peterson has now registered a multi hit game in 5 of his last 7. He's raised his avg from .171 to .297 since April 26.
Peterson with a leadoff walk and steal. Fredi then sac bunts Peterson to 3rd with EY with pitcher on deck. WTF?!!
If fredi feels he has to bunt with EY there, then it's time to get rid of EY, fredi, or both.
I would like to DFA EY and bring up Cunningham
Did he pinch hit for the pitcher?Quote:

Grilli comes back and lost game. Really need him to get it together so we can trade em
Even though we've lost 2 of 3, I'm excited about this little stretch. Wood gave up 3 in 1st inning against nats, but it should've been 0. Ball hit Maybin in glove. After the 1st, wood pitched 5.2 with 6 k's. The next day, miller pitched 7 innings with 8 k's and only 3 hits. His era is now 1.60. Then folty pitched 6.2 innings with 7 k's and gave up 2 er.
Hopefully this young staff is about to get it rolling. Would love to move stults to pen and call up banuelos or wisler. Let em pitch all year and hopefully be ready to contend for WC next season. With CJ hurt, I'd also like to see Peterson play 3rd and call up peraza
EY and Fredi both said the EY bunted on his own. Fredi did not seem pleased. I wasn't either.Quote:

Which one is the real Peterson? If it's even close to the 2nd one, we've got to find a position for him with peraza on the horizon
