Atlanta Braves Thread VI

[Weezy]

I would never want to get rid of him, but he's down the list on pieces the Braves can't lose. I'm thinking (based on projected salary and position longevity):

1. Freeman
2. Heyward (I'm tempted to move him down below Simmons and Upton)
3. Justin Upton
4. Simmons
5. Medlen

And then maybe Kimbrel, although I'd like to see Minor/Beachy/Teheran take a step forward. But that's really besides the point. I still love Kimbrel regardless of a couple of blown saves in Cincy and Denver (in 20 degree weather).

I am confused. Part of me is telling the other part of me that Kevin Durant could be as good as LeBron James.

Tell that other part of you to shut up.

@KevinMcAlpin: #Braves lineup at CIN: Schafer 8, Simmons 6, Freeman 3, Gattis 7, Uggla 4, Francisco 5, R Johnson 9, Laird 2, Minor 1.

Upton boys in timeout?

I did. Like I said though, the gap isn't as large as most think. Plus, youre skewed as hell being from OHIO of course you're going to slurp on James.

LOL he sits BJ after he actually made a little progress at the plate. Justin needs to be in the lineup cause he is a threat to put up multiple HRs in that peewee park. Especially considering it is a day game and Leake is on the mound.

I have a permanent place on his sac to swing from and I am not ashamed.

Whats Scotty's favorite term? Bingo

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

I like James, I use to like him a whole lot more until he started acting like the second coming of Jesus Christ when he hit the open market. I think he is the best player in the world and has the potential to go down as the goat. All I was getting at is, Kevin Durant is not as far behind as I intially thought.

Go Braves

Due to LL Cool J association, I really hate that term.

Plus, the goat nickname has one true owner.

Gotta love the interleague you guys

Fredi says he wants Heyward "to take BP again and run around a little more" wants to make sure his "legs are under him" before sending him out on rehab.

I mean, why does this feel like he is coming back from an ACL tear? Is all this really necessary?

Titus Young is absolutely nuts.

speaking of ACL tears Shumpert and Rose tore their respective ACLs on the same day last year.

If his legs aren't under him we gots problems.

Shumpert is a man, Rose isn't

That umpire essentially made Santiago walk the plank.

Bingo. Also Shumpert absolutely climbed the ladder last night on that put back. Ay Caramba.

I haven't watched wrestling since I was about 8 years old so maybe I'm just not current but I don't think that is how this move is supposed to work.
