The Braves Thread

Prime example is Jason Heyward -

Never hit .300, never had a 100 RBI season. .153 post season average.

Making 26 million because he makes a sliding catch or throws a runner out once a week.

My favorite Brave (for some reason) as a young lad.

Did y’all see this chart on Freddie? Insanity. The best place to pitch him as a lefty is down the gut.

Heyward has had 2 good seasons in his career. He is definitely one of the most overpaid athletes in this era.

You think you want that, but it rarely ever works like that for Catchers or Shortstops.

But even Dansby's defense is middle of the pack in the MLB. I don't understand everyone's love for him. Trade him while he still has some value.

Is there another SS in the minors that is ready to take his place?

Like it or not, I think He is going to be the SS here for several years.

.250 with a ton of strikeouts, but he will do something great to help you win a game on occasion

Good. Phillips should have been up last month

Good

Can we just make these our primary uniforms? So fresh, so clean.

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Markadick. All star.

My favorite narrative that Chip and Joe are pushing is that it took 3+ years for Nick to recover from his neck injury instead of the fact he changed his swing to elevate launch angle. It’s delightful.

I'm all for advanced stats, but people need to calm down a little with the launch angle stuff.

Very encouraging to see Albies adjust his swing to get back on track. Need to keep him in the 2nd slot

Yup 9 hits in the last 3 games. Very good sign.

I would just assume not see Ozzie get stepped on like that.

Why did he put his foot there? Was his foot not already on the base?

Don’t think so

I don’t know, it was awkward looking

Our bullpen has to lead MLB in walks

 

[AV_12]

I wonder if the Reds would trade Amir Garrett.

 

[Grudenator]

Our bullpen has to lead MLB in walks

The bullpen alone has walked 118 this year, which is 40.5% of our total walks.

 

[Blake25p]

I may get killed for saying this but I wouldn’t mind bring back Markakis on a short term deal.
