The Atlanta Braves Thread (Javy Lopez Edition)

[vol2013]

No footage of this one. He didn't fall out of the stands into the lower level. He actually fell over a railing and out of the stadium.

Ugh, just as well there isn't footage

I've had it with this clown BJ. He can't play defense nor can he hit. He has the worst attitude on the team to boot. Blessed with tremendous athleticism yet lacking any kind of instinctual acuity in center field, he is the anti Andruw Jones. It's too bad that money is all that matters when the lineup card is turned in. Send him to Siberia. While we're at it, let's also get rid of that stinking POS Uggla. Schafer to CF and Pastornicky to 2B. There is absolutely no reason not to do this other than money. Schafer, while due for regression, is still 100 times the defender BJ is while providing a bat that at least has some potential to be productive every once in a while, unlike BJ. Pastornicky sucks at defense, but so does Uggla. Pastornicky is a career .249 hitter, but that sounds a hell of a lot better than the sub-mendoza line Uggla. Because Uggla at least has a team-first attitude, I think he should be sent to Detroit instead of Siberia.

Yep, Pastornicky's -1.4 WAR and 0.1 oWAR was impressive last year. Can't figure out why with a performance like that he isn't an everyday ml player over somebody that even in there worse statistical season is still better than that

Also last time I checked BJ's career has shown that he has the potential to do something with the bat every once in a while as you put it.

Please elaborate.

Everything I've heard is that he's been working his ass off all year trying to figure it out.

Just want to say we have the best record in the NL.

Carry on.

Just read on updated story on the guy that died at the stadium last night. They're now saying he fell roughly 65 feet and he was last seen standing alone at the rail.

I bet this guy ^^^ needed some tylenol this fine morn'

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Why not? He has a great sense of the strike zone, is patient, has great speed, has dropped his K% significantly this year, and can focus on what he does best on offense. I doubt he will be but he can definitely do it if the Braves and Jason commit to it.

It's not that I disagree, rather I just think it would be a disservice to himself and the organization if that's how it turns out. Jason is still a baby having just turned 24. Based on last season and the improvement over this year I think it's safe to assume he'll eventually be a regular .280+, 30Hr+, 100RBI+ regular for several years. When he's right that short quick swing is fun to watch. The sky's the limit for JHey...

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

It's a waste to have a guy with as much power as Heyward hitting behind the #8 hitter and the pitcher. Obviously he can do it, but I hope this turns out to be a temporary thing.

:yes:

I don't think anybody knows. Just a weird situation all the way around. Those rails are wide at the top so I'd say he either was trying to go over or he was really, really, realllllly drunk.

 

[TBrown]

I read the USA Today article earlier this morning and there was a strong hint of suicide with no one outright saying it.

Strange situation..very sad.

 

[slh1089]

I just read a tweet from the AP that says he called his mom minutes before. It's looking like this wasn't an accident.

On the radio here this morning, they said witnesses said it was an accident.

The last few posts pretty much refute that.
