One more start like this and Teheran should get a little tour of Gwinnett/pearl.

Yeah, I'm pissed. I do overreact, but this is teheran's 3rd straight egg thoughQuote:

Dan Uggla might be my all-time most hated MLB player. **** that guy. And **** Frank Wren for ever trading for him, much less signing him to a massive extension and making him the highest paid 2B in MLB.
Hopefully uggla's performance the last 2 days will be enough to keep him on the nats' roster. Uggla hit a grand slam last year for us early to beat the Phillies and we know how last year turned out.Quote:

And then we let Span, Lobaton, and Dan Freaking Uggla beat us. Then before B9, they played a montage of Braves comeback wins, and in the first, the winning run was scored by...Dan Uggla.
Tonight was the best of times. Tonight was the worst of times.
Kill me now.
FF has got his groove back. Back to line drives instead of long fly balls. Atta boy FF
Mark Bowman ?@mlbbowman 57s58 seconds ago
Friday's scheduled starter Trevor Cahill was loosening in the pen. Folty would be onschedule to pitch Friday if they chose to call him up
Cahill in game now
Tom glavine asked a good question tonight on TV. He set it up like this....
Baseball guys around the league say k's don't matter for hitters. On the other side (pitching), everyone wants guys that can k batters. So, which is it? Do k's matter or not?
I'd say it's situational Ks that matter. No one on, two out, K doesn't matter. 2nd & 3rd, 1 out, K matters.Quote:

Maybe miller can settle things down. The starters are killing us. I thought the starting pitching was gonna be the strong point, but they aren't pitching deep at all. Bc they leave so early, it's starting to kill our pen. The offense hasn't been near the problem everyone thought it would be. Still think starting pitching will come on and offense will probably slack off. Just hoping for .500 this year, trade some guys, and for the call ups to look goodQuote:

I wish the Braves would claim varvaro (dfa by Yankees) and call up folty and cunniff
Chris Johnson fractured his hand. Really was hoping to be able to unload him at break. Not happening now.
Folty will get his first start as an Atlanta brave tonight.
There have also been discussions about the availability of Grilli with the Red Sox and Tigers.
I'd love to wait to see if more teams could drive up the price. At the same time though, I'm scared grilli will implode rendering him uselessQuote:

His start to the year in AAA is promising.
Wonder if the Red Sox would have interest in aj in addition to grilli. Hanigan is having an abysmal season hittingQuote:

Just curious since I don't know the contract but how does he still get paid if he retired? I didn't think you got anything unless the team straight up released you and it was guaranteed money. Again I am completely ignorant on baseball contracts.Quote:

Ummm...obviously. You don't bring him up and start his clock for one damn start. Cahill and/or Stults to the pen, Folty stays in the rotation.Quote:

If you mean that in terms of him being "out of options" in a couple years then it won't matter cuz he is expected to be up and doing his thing by then. If you mean it in terms of his "years under control" then it won't matter, it's late enough already that this won't count as a year of service time...just ask the cubs and Bryant.Quote:

Roster move: #Braves purchase the contract of INF Pedro Ciriaco (#13) from @GwinnettBraves and option LHP Ian Thomas to Gwinnett.
My boy made it.
He was up for 1-2 months last year, so he will go over 1 year if he stays up until the end of the year. You can still keep him under a year if you play it right.Quote:

Ok. I wonder if Peterson can play 3rd. I want peraza at 2b when he gets the call.Quote:
