The Atlanta Braves Thread

[mr.checkerboards]

If we aren't going to play the free agent game, we need to operate similar to Tampa. Trade guys before they walk. Especially with bats since we refuse to draft any.

It’s funny how one way or another, everybody always ends up in FACTS CITY sooner or later.

1-5 in the lineup didn’t produce collectively
6-9 we’re all dfa guys or guys who should be

But sure blame the guy making peanuts hitting 9th. It’s not his fault he was signed as a backed and they rolled with him as a starter for a second year. There was nothing wrong with his production last year out of the 9 spot and both of you clowns were wrong. Nobody said it was a good idea to run him back this year. What time yall philles play?

Imagine wanting to get a return on a good product. Did you enjoy losing Freddie and Dansby for nothing?

• Austin Riley has 9 years left on his contract
• Acuña has 4 years left.

Why would you trade those years away and who would you get that could match their production?

Dansby has hit .243 the past 2 years in Chicago, he wouldn’t have solved our offensive problems this year

 

[AV_12]

Dansby had a 124 wRC in the second half. I wonder why? Those losers stunk and he had a lot of care free no pressure at bats. First half was terrible per usual

 

[AV_12]

Put Dansby in that lineup and those boys are still starting their offseason today so please spare me

You’re gonna be really surprised by this, but he didn’t sign a 1 yr $2mn dollar deal.

He had a knee injury in the 1H, only stayed the minimum on the IL and played through it.

I bang on one through nine regularly because the “easily best team in the league” is in fact not remotely close to being the best team in the league.

Bringing Dansby back isnt about the offensive production it's about having a leader in the clubhouse.

Nobody's advocating trading them now, but moving Fried at the deadline would've been the move. Anybody that gets within 1-2 years of FA should be moved to buy young bodies just like Tampa has been doing.

 

[AV_12]

Same results, just $25 million less to spend with Dansby. No big deal

 

[TBrown]

So, I think Dansby is a bigger loss than people want to admit. I think him and Freddie were clubhouse leaders.

Freddie, Dansby, Wash/EY

Probably another here or there but off the top of my head last 3 offseasons.

Ask the DOG Mike Harris who took him under their wing and taught him how to be a pro

Hint: not captain frying pan

Joc was huge for leadership imo

The same full roster getting pantsed by the real contenders

I know it’s an emotional day for you. The guy who can’t make 4 runs stand up for 2 innings has thrown his last pitch for the org.

That's the part the drive by casuals are missing. Having him back isn't about his production it's about the locker room.

Why do you think Chavez is still around.

 

[Wickman]

Y’all just get this out of your system now. Need it to be all love on Saturday.

Me and flattop are already opposed on this 13.5!

Y’all stay opposed lol

If I didn’t know otherwise, I would swear that Brown, Scott, Z, and AV were brothers, and checkerboards was their little cousin

 

[TBrown]

My guy got on the internet this morning, looked up Dansby’s 2H 124 wrc+ and thought it would be a negative point
