Atlanta Braves Thread (Tim Hudson Edition)

[GAVol]

Justin upton is playing cf and bj upton is hitting (and playing lf)

What a time to be alive

How on earth do you go literally 1,000 ABs hitting under .200 and being the worst regular in MLB and then immediately hit 80 points higher the next two years?

Barves. Seems like players usually underperform for the Braves.

Which is why Heyward stinking has been surprising. Fully expected him to make a post-Barves jump.

 

[Wickman]

Legitimate question: would it be a terrible idea to play Perez today in my fantasy league? I'm not sure about the matchup with the Pirates but there's not much left in free agency in my league.

I think the stat boys call that "the McLouth Effect."

Still has that long, power leaking swing. He just is what he is, and he's not going to be the 30/100 guy that he looks the part for.

Why the **** is Mallex not starting?

 

[vols 30]

Why the **** is Mallex not starting?

Because Fredi is an idiot

Is hitting sub .200 against lefties.

(Not that I agree, just throwing it out there)

 

[zjcvols]

Please bring Tyrell or Kelly or somebody other than Perez.

Sucks thing is, Simmons probably turns one of those double plays

 

[tonybologna]

Already down 3-0. Same 'ol song! hmy:

I get that but you're 9-26. It's things like this that drives me up a ****ing tree. He needs to play and get more reps. Taking away at bats for Chase ****ing d'Arnaud is soooooo stupid.

With the way Albies has hit this year (over .300 in AAA the last ten games) I totally get why the Braves made that trade.

I agree with you. Fredi has no clue how to handle the lineup or team. It's time for someone else to takeover this team.

Brown you're boy Shae Simmons struck out three in Gwinnett tonight

 

[zjcvols]

Ozzie with a lead off double tonight

I agree, if you're going to platoon / protect him, at least send out another possible OF prospect or high upside player. Otherwise, let Mallex see the LHP and put in work.

Barves defense lmao

 

[Regulator]

Perhaps his ankle stiffened up today? Could be.

 

[boomer020]

Also, is anyone else having trouble getting the mobile view from Chrome on Samsung?

 

[thetennlegend]

What a bunch of bums. Aybar moves like an old lady. I agree about mallex run him out there every night. Make him hit lefties.

 

[TBrown]

Nut shot of the season

 

[Vercingetorix]

Why the hell can't Reggie Miller be on the Eastern Conference series?? This sucks.
