Oh and it just so happens we have the youngest (avg of age) staff in mlb, 2 prospects (wisler and banuelos) knocking on the door, and maybe the best 2 prospects (fried and Jenkins) probably making a push next season.Quote:

I think we ride this staff to at least a WC next season and fight with the mets in '17 for the division
@KevinMcAlpin
Peter Moylan activated from Rome?s DL and promoted to Gwinnett. #Braves
Really pulling for him bc we need a reliever and bc I really like him
Love Moylan. Hopefully the injuries haven't degraded his stuff too much. Dude has one of the coolest pitcher entrance songs in the majors - TNT by AC/DC.Quote:

2 hits tonight. I like what Cunningham brings to the table. EY Jr is the guy who should be sent down. Him or Ciriaco.Quote:

I agree. I do think fredi should've pulled cunniff after he faced the 2 right handers in 7th and brought avilan to face inciarte. I don't think it was a huge mistake, but a mistake. If avilan gets inciarte, you've got Johnson for 8th and grilli for 9thQuote:

As you guys know I love Perez, but we may have to move him to the pen and call up wisler. I'd rather give moylan and Ryan Kelly a shot first, but we may have no choice
This team needs another lefty they can use out of the pen. Avilan's arm is going to fall off. Remember the days when we had Johnny Venter and Eric O'Flaherty as left handed relievers?
Yes, I do. You know oflaherty just came off dl for a's. I wonder how expensive it would be to get him.Quote:

Really hoping either/or or both of moylan and Ryan Kelly work out. I think you'll see both very soon
David carpenter dfa'd by Yankees. Pick him up, hart. He's certainly worth a shot
Runners on the corners with 1 out and Cunningham up. Fredi pulls him for Gomes. Gomes pops up. Cunningham has 5 hits the last 2 days. Defend fredi....
Then Gomes can't get to bell that Cunningham gets easily. Fredi is beyond stupid
Then fredi goes and gets Gomes. Too late idiot
Bout to lose bc another dumb dumb dumb decision by fredi. Cunningham is 5-6. Gomes hits .200 and is a major defensive liability
Fredi's gonna Fredi.
Definitely Fredi's fault that the pen can't hold a lead
I'm not blaming fredi for the pen. I am blaming fredi for pulling our best defensive and hottest hitting lf, Cunningham (5 for his last 6) and replacing him with a guy hitting .200 that's our worst defensive of. I know you're a huge fredi apologist, but can you pull off your fredi sunglasses long enough to see how incredibly dumb that was? I was mad pre-results, but absolutely incensed post-results.Quote:
