Atlanta Braves Thread (Tim Hudson Edition)

[Vercingetorix]

I can't believe that fatass Bartolo Colon hit a home run.

The only thing that surprises me is that he didn't hit it against Atlanta. He's probably got more power than most of our position players.

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Colon now has more home runs than Jason Heyward.

Lmao!!

I don't think I've ever seen a guy get less power over a career out of such a physically imposing body.

Yep. You'd think that Colon would have more than one career HR.

Two backwards Ks last inning, both caught beautifully and framed by Flowers.. Why AJ ever sees the field is beyond me

 

[ckilla27]

Please PLEASE cut Aybar

 

[CagleMtnVol]

Folty pitching like he did at Triple A!! :cool2:

Thanks alot Aybar!:banghead2:

 

[CagleMtnVol]

So did all of you saying that Folty should never start another game after that 1st inning in NY watch today's beauty?

Final numbers for Mike Foltynewicz today:

7 IP, 5H, 2R, 0BB, 8K
(101 pitches/68 strikes)

I have to admit ive been frustrated with folty but today was a glimpse of what he can be. On the othe hand i want to kick aybar in the throat.

 

[CagleMtnVol]

So by my count Aybar cost the Braves at least 3 runs if not 4 today!

Yep. Get him out of the starting lineup Fredi. Leave Castro at SS for now. Platoon Kelly Johnson at 2B with D'Arnaud. Or, play Kelly at 3B & just start Castro at 2B & use D 'Arnaud as a fill in guy for spot starts. Aybar isn't working out at all.

Won't be long until we see somebody else roaming SS & 2B period. Albies & Swanson might both get call ups sooner than we thought guys.

 

[CagleMtnVol]

Enough is enough if we are going to lose, at least do it with Ruiz, Swanson & Albies??

Throw in Mallax Smith & Flowers as everyday starters as well!

Rio Ruiz should already be called up with his numbers at Gwinnett. I mean what else do you want him to do Braves management? It's time for him to have a shot at playing 3B for us. What are we waiting on?

I guess the trade deadline again to make more crazy moves/trades. I wouldn't be surprised if we even traded the kid at the trade deadline myself the way our management is handling things.

 

[TBrown]

Lmao.. Ok guys

Don't think people know how a rebuild works

 

[BigOrange15]

Good lord

Well, my guess our rebuild is going to be without Fredi Gonzalez moving forward. That's one thing I'm pretty sure is going to be involved.

I don't think we'll have to wait much longer for Dansby to be freed. He will be up to the MLB club either just before or after the All-Star break if not sooner.

You're right, but at some point it's going to get so bad that you wonder whether the front office will be able to hold out. It's almost time to start selling tickets for the new park.

Swanson and Albies are both going to be up later this year. Mallex will get better. We have so much young pitching we can make a trade for a big rh bat. Will have money for a FA catcher (Cervelli). I'm not concerned.

I would like some these kids to have few AB's at this level going into next year. Isn't the plan to have Albies and Dansby on the opening day roster next year?
