The Atlanta Braves Thread VII

[Notorious B.E.N]

GWN, you giving Weidman a chance tomorrow night?

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Ben, you never gave any analysis on Silva v Weidman the other day...

 

[LotteryPick]

Jason Hursh (1st rounder) is supposed to be making his debut for Rome tonight!

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

GWN, you giving Weidman a chance tomorrow night?

Wow. LOL...great minds...

Do I give him a chance? Yes. My prediction? Silva by KO, Round 2.

I just think the media and everyone else is so desparate for anyone to give Silva a fight that they just want Weidman to be the guy. He has great skills, and his grappling is elite, which is what it will take to beat Silva, but I just don't see him being able to get him to the ground and keep it there long enough to take advantage.

Hoping for Silva v Jon Jones next.

I didnt see you ask lol. Admittedly, i don't know much about Weidman. But a lot of the "experts" think he can pull it off. I just know he's a good wrestler and that's Silva's weakness.

We've been discussing GSP vs Silva or Silva vs Jones in the UFC thread. I don't think we'll see a superfight with this current group of champs

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

I don't think GSP wants any part of Anderson Silva. Jon Jones is confident enough to give him a run.

Anderson Silva is a damn alien, but look, the guy is getting old. He is going to slow down sometime, and sometime soon, I'd bet. I think Jon Jones could handle him.

Silva's my favorite fighter and i hate Jones, but i think Jones wins that one.

[LotteryPick]

Shocking.

 

[AV_12]

Dude swings like he has Barry Bonds power.

 

[zjcvols]

Dwight Howard has flown back to LA and is meeting with the Lakers tonight.


hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

[Regulator]

Frenchy DFA'd today. He'll find work somewhere.

Oh ok lol. If i deserve it, I'll wear it?

I posted that on 6/29, but it would be a reasonable argument, IMO, that there is a difference between DFA and released.

 

[TBrown]

Dude swings like he was Barry Bonds power.

This

I'm so sick of that clown

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Quality. Can't make this up

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Wait, say what now? I thought the deal with Houston was done?

 

[Regulator]

Angel Hernandez is garbage, Gerald Laird just wanted to remind him.

Absolutely. Every time he umps a Braves game, he f***s up a call here or there, usually not in Atlanta's favor, then cops an attitude when called out about it. He's a disgrace. I only caught one replay of the call, but that third strike to Laird appeared to be above the letters and outside, off the plate.

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

Tired of Simmons, Uggla, BJ being in this lineup. Justin has been horrid as well.

I agree

 

[LotteryPick]

Hursh: 2 IP, no hits, 1 walk, 3 k's in debut.

 

[Vercingetorix]

Braves are five games up and everyone hates everybody on the team. Hate to see if they were five out.

5 games can disappear this week if we don't get some W's
