The Braves Thread

[NochNoch]

Lmaooo the “take out” is always the most pathetic take in sports.

Take out those 47 picks and fumbles Gator Pete had in Gainesville and replace them with TDs and he is VOL legend.

Take out those bonehead pass plays late in the 3rd and 4th and replace them with rushing attempts and your boy Brady loses to the dirty birds.

Except for the fact that both of those scenarios are one off situations where as the take out that Z presented constitutes a trend. Now you may not have any faith that the trend will continue but that doesn’t make it not a trend since his first two starts.

Julio at 90-93 with that slider today is what we need...

Need these Acuna socks in my life tbh: https://mediadownloads.mlb.com/mlbam/mp4/2018/07/15/2272042583/1531678418791/asset_2500K.mp4

Okay. Teheran has a 3.52 ERA in his last 16 starts.

Better. But I can remedy with his 4.41 ERA over his last 50 starts pre last night.

DOB leaving the AJC.

DOB leaving the AJC.

I am irrationally excited about it. Opens up the Braves beat reporter spot for Atlanta’s major newspaper, to, ya know, actually enjoy and do the job well.

DOB is going to The Athletic. They’ve already taken some jokes on Twitter about them not knowing the Braves fan base by deciding to hire him. He’s not going to drive subscriptions.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Sounds like we’ve prioritized Moose over Machado.

Side note: could Dansby play LF?

Why would we put a very much above average glove at SS in LF?

 

[Kingston Vol]

Not permanently. He’s clearly a good defensive SS.

I’m just brainstorming ways to get all these guys in the lineup if we acquire Moose and I don’t think Camargo can play LF.

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

Bingo.

 

[TBrown]

Camargo has played the OF. He most certainly could play LF. Moose is not good.

lol so DOB sobbed about keeping newspapers alive while leaving to go to a web based media outlet? That’s so DOB.

The Seattle Mariners are 19 games above .500 and have a negative run differential. That’s almost statistically impossible.

Just happy I can get my hot Braves takes courtesy of the AJC for the first time since (roughly) 2011.

I’m not a Moose guy either and would prefer to just play Camargo at third but it seems they are trying to add him

I’m not sure I buy that interest

No thanks on Moose.

DOB should go work at Home Depot so he can be near other tools. Anybody that posts song lyrics on Twitter to try and seem cool is pegging out the douche-ometer.

THESE are the takes I’m here for!

How about spot starts at SS in a semi platoon with Camergo and a super sub role for Dansby?

 

[Wickman]

If you ain’t chopping you need to be

 

[AV_12]

No thanks on Moose.

Would rather have him in the lineup than Dansby tho. He isn’t going to cost much at all

 

[zjcvols]

We should focus our reinforcements on deGrom or Thor (if the Mets listen) or get bullpen arms

Could work.

Acuña getting more work in CF is fun and a sign of things to come.

Just don’t want to take at bats from Camargo or Dans just for Moose to hit .250.

Less than (!)

I’ll take the Camargo Dansby glove work over whatever moose *might* ass
