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

Andrelton Simmons could be best defensive shortstop ever - SweetSpot - ESPN

Could?

 

[zjcvols]

I still don't understand why you don't start your every day third baseman on opening day.

He's not the every day third baseman. Seems like Fredi is going with a Callapso/Johnson platoon there.

 

[zjcvols]

Yankees fans chanting Derek Jeter at Didi Gregorius. Classy.

 

[FalcoVol]

Could?

To be fair, he could go all Andruw and eat himself out of baseball.

I don't think it was the eating, I think it was the lack of steroids.

 

[Vercingetorix]

Andruw's hitting nosedived after his bat slowed down below a critical threshold. That sounds more like food to me than quitting steriods.

 

[Vercingetorix]

Hahahaha. Picked off 1st in the bottom of the 17th. Idiot.

Columbia might be as bad as anywhere in Alabama. Only about half the laces out here even take a credit/debit card. Sun Drip capital of the world

 

[LocoVol]

I was set for a bad year now they gonna get my hopes up and pull the rug out from under me. Either way its been fun to watch.

2 game lead

God I love baseball. I'm already excited for Columbian Jesus tonight.

Verc can watch that, since he can't watch the Braves.

Currently finishing up Ken Burns' Baseball. Man this is awesome.

That third strike call on the last out last night was electric. Love the emotion out of Grilli.

I don't expect this level of play to hold up all season, but they sure are fun to watch. Infield defense is stifling.

I don't expect 162-0 but we'll be .500 if they don't ship out more parts

Talk is they'll trade Grilli at the deadline if he's still pitching this well.

If Wisler and Foltz can get up here soon I think we can flirt with .500 if major injuries miss us.

Who? I can't find a Foltz.

Barney never could figure out stuff on his own...

Whoops. Folty auto-corrected to Foltz.

 

[zjcvols]

I think 80 wins is possible IF everyone is healthy and IF Simmons/Peterson continue to hit like they have and IF the third base production is above average.

That's a lot of ifs. But the good news is the pitching is for real and will only get better throughout the year so they will be in every game.
