One hit in NY. Batting .163. 3K's tonight. He should be in prison for stealing all of that money on his contract. He can be cell mates with BJ.

3.65 million for this year is nothing by mlb standards for someone that has been an all star in the past 3 years and a gold glove.

 

[GAVol]

What? He had four hits in two days earlier this week. He's hit well since coming off the DL. Do they show all the games in prison?

He's hitting .235 since coming back.

 

[zjcvols]

He's hitting .235 since coming back.

He was batting .270 before tonight since coming back.

Still not worried. He'll be fine.

 

[Vercingetorix]

He's hitting .235 since coming back.

It was over .300 three days ago. Everything about Heyward is still small sample sizes. He's going to be fine.

That swing still concerns me. It's long. It's got a hitch. And he ties himself up all the time. When's the last time you saw him pull a ball with any authority?

Verc, what was that western movie you suggested last week?

Once Upon a Time In The West. Best western ever.

 

[vols 30]

If they don't make roster move soon and drop a position player, Freidi is gonna have our whole staff on the DL. Having six relievers is in his head way too much.

What position player would you drop? Everyone on the bench has been solid.

Great movie, but The Man who shot Liberty Valance is the best.

I may give it a shot, i don't know if I'll finish it

 

[Regulator]

With everybody reliable out, Fredi is going to have to be willing to go to Kimbrel with runners on in the 8th. Asking him to get four or five outs rather than three shouldn't be THAT big a deal, and tonight it might have been the difference between a win and a loss.

Then you start piling up innings on Kimbrel's arm in the first third of the season, with a five game lead in the division, and Craig ain't been exactly Craig this year, not many quick, clean innings. You can't take shots at Fredi for not running him out there for two innings at a time when you know you'd take shots at him for having pitched him too much after his arm fell off.

(You, being a general term, not YOU specifically.)

 

[Vercingetorix]

Great movie, but The Man who shot Liberty Valance is the best.

I respect that opinion, certainly, but Henry Fonda and Charles Bronson were about as good as you can be in a western. Both great films.

And you make up for it by not using him at all in anything that's not a tie or 1 run game. Use him only when the game is absolutely on the line. The Braves don't have a 7-8-9 progression anymore. They've got to use their one remaining great reliever only in the highest leverage situations. Throw saves out the window.

Yep, they are both in my top 5 for sure

Its weird that last night i watched Hit & Run on Netflix, a character was in witness protection and changed his name to Charles Bronson and tonight you mention him. I don't recall ever hearing of him before

Bottom line is they have to get better results from the rest of the bullpen at present, or they have to trade for some help. Even if Kimbrel were to come in against the Blue Jays in the 7th inning of a 3-2 game to face Bautista, Encarnacion, and Arencibia, somebody else is still going to have to be able to record some clean innings against the bottom of that lineup.

You must have some kind of......

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

The beginning of this movie may be the slowest 10 minutes of any movie ive ever seen

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

I may have heard the name, but no idea who he was

Are you serious Clark?

Lol ya

Reed or Laird

 

[vols 30]

Death Wish is a great movie. Unfortunately, they didn't stop after the first one. The next 2 sucked, and I believe there was a 4th one, which I missed.
