Atlanta Braves Thread (I HURT MYSELF TODAY TO SEE IF I STILL FEEL)

[LotteryPick]

Man on my 18th we went straight to Deja Vu. A bunch of wet behind the ears country boys learned some things that night.

I somehow ended up there on NYE. We walked all the way from Broad. It was an experience, that is for sure.

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

Reds are eating most of the salary and getting nothing special in return. Win win.

Agree. I like the move a lot. I guess the reds are ready for the Jose Peraza era, good luck with that.

Hopefully RBI machine doesn't block Ozzie all year. That's my concern. Also, Rodriguez gonna be out awhile? Hopefully that nixes the 8 man pen.

That true re: Ozzie. Surely not. BP was going to see reduced time in Cincy and seemed fine with that. So hopefully that's the case here. Wonder if BP has the arm to play 3rd some?

Apparently nobody knows for sure.

Hope not but barves.

I can dig that lineup.

First full without Frediot is gonna be niiiice

 

[Blake25p]

Braves only paying Phillips $1M and gave up two guys in their late 20's. I'd say this is a win.

 

[Wickman]

I'll give Sneaky Pete a try whenever I finish the Young Pope. I finished Shameless. Probably the most unpredictable show I've ever watched.

Watched Sneaky Pete, Ben. I thought the storyline was better than the actual acting, personally.

Greek Freak is as fun of a basketball player as I've seen in quite some time

Low risk, high reward. Defensively he is slipping. Still quality bat, which is good because we are gonna have to score some runs this year to win.

I agree with ya. Him, Curry, & Westbrook are so fun to watch play.

 

[005]

Low risk, high reward.

Still quality bat.

Agree with the first part... No harm done, fills a spot, and really fun help is on the way from Albies.

Second part is questionable but largely doesn't matter.

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

Watched Sneaky Pete, Ben. I thought the storyline was better than the actual acting, personally.

I liked the main guy and Cranston, the rest of actors were ok. Can't wait for season 2.

 

[TBrown]

Phillips deal isn't bad at all as long as we don't treat him like the reds did


Short side of platoon with Jace, take some ABs away from Garcia

Quality may be a stretch but still serviceable. Considering where he'll most likely be in this lineup, I'll take a .275 to .290 average. Wish he got on base more but if he did probably wouldn't be in a Braves uniform.

Doubt he'll be on the short side if I had to guess.

 

[TBrown]

Doubt he'll be on the short side if I had to guess.

Based on splits and common sense, I'd hope Jace gets more ABs than Garcia and Phillips.

We'll see. Doesn't matter much. Neither are everyday 2nd baseman and essentially keeping the spot warm. Hopefully Ozzie kicks the door down sooner opposed to later.

 

[TBrown]

Their line as a platoon will be more than adequate as an every day second baseman

I think so

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Went and watched the Lady Vols play for the first time in years and years today. Of course they blew a double-digit lead and lost just like every other UT sports team I love.
