Atlanta Braves Thread - The "John Hart/ John Coppollela da real MVPs" Edition

[Wickman]

Just looked at the internet for the first time all day. I know I've had a lot to drink, what with my buddy the Asian Sensation in from California, but surely it's not possible that the Braves are willfully paying $6 million for Trevor Cahill? WTH?

I think you underestimate the Braves

My 4 year old nephew has his 1st t-ball game tomorrow. I think im more excited about it than i should be for some reason.

I've been hearing all spring about how the Braves' rotation is going to be so good that there's no way they're going to be sub .500 and now suddenly here they are paying six fscking million dollars for a guy off the shltheap with arm trouble. I enjoy the yearly longshot reclamation project as much as anyone but I don't understand paying real money for it.

(I'm sure this has been covered. I've been pounding glasses and slapping asses like Jimmy Hyams all day.)

Idk if this place does fried egg as an option. But I will certainly investigate. Food has been pretty good couple times i've been.

This thesis, guys.

Sheesh.

Just a lot to it. Final stages, but it has been a lot of different stuff lately leading up, so I haven't actually sat down and read it all myself.

That's tomorrow & this weekend. And it'll be a lot.

Great place to visit as well

Watched the newest Fast & the Furious last night. Same as the others basically. Similar plot, there's a few predictable cheesy lines, and the action was really good in this one. The Paul Walker tribute at the end was pretty sad.

There is no downside to Cahill... Minor coming back healthy is not a given, and they don't want Wandy and Stults both back to back..

We have the best pitching coach in the league, so its a nice buy low on a guy with not awful advanced stats last yr, and a 94 mph sinker...

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

Hopefully it works out better than Gavon Floyd

 

[TBrown]

Floyd actually pitched really well

I imagine Cahill, Wandy, and stults are all dealt by July 31

Agreed, went down way early though. I don't hate the Cahill move anymore, it's slowly starting to grow on me. The Roger angle is solid. I doubt it will happen, but I'd like him in the pen, ultimately I could see more value in trade returns for him in that role. Could be way wrong there.

 

[AV_12]

Floyd was pitching well again this year and had the same injury I believe.. He was looking really good for us.


But yeah, you can always deal Cahill again if he turns it around.. He is young, and we gave up nothing.. If he turns it around, another team could see value in his two options years, or we can keep him and benefit from them.

 

[TBrown]

Just looked at his stats and contract situation... Trade was a steal

Technically I saw it but I'd be lying if I said I remembered it until I saw the highlights again this morning. Half day of work today so ole Noch was feeling pretty good last night.
