Atlanta Braves Thread VI

[GAVol]

While i see what you're saying, hes more than a catcher, i don't see how we can send him down

He flat won't let the Braves ignore him.

Put Gattis in LF and sit BJ on the freaking bench.

I wish we could DH for our CF

Nope and its awesome

 

[Regulator]

I agree that Fredi/Braves ran Venters and O'Flaherty into the ground, but what really was the alternative? Losing winnable games? There work loads were less last year than in '11, but in '11 the starters weren't lasting long enough and the offense wasn't scoring enough to save the bullpen arms because it was 2-1 and 3-2 every night. Also, Atlanta went all those years with the pitching staff staying relatively injury free. They're overdue for injuries. If I were Kimbrel, I'd discreetly be getting my own insurance policy.

And Medlen has a chance at a well deserved decision

Negative, Ghost Rider. Gearrin is the pitcher of record.

On top of that, we'd have to put Scotty on sucicide watch.

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Kimbrel's velocity seems to be just fine.

True

I think Fredi has actually gotten better at managing workload. The problems for Venters and EOF go back to Bobby Cox who was notorious for frying a guy every year or two.

 

[GAVol]

Kimbrel looks electric again.

 

[underscore]

Dodgers with two hits. Just sayin...

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Needed these two wins in a bad way. Bring on Minor for the sweep tomorrow.

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

Kimbrel looks electric again.

That week off he managed to get was good for him

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

Sucks when you give up just 2 hits and cant get the W

All the more reason why Wins might be the most meaningless stat in MLB.

You are correct. Too many cough drops tonight for me

[VOLinthaNATI]

Nolan Ryan

Just curious as to your opinion.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Wins alone as a stat are overrated ill give you that.
