Atlanta Braves: Win More Games Than The Hawks? - Page 603 - Single-Team Season Threads -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Also if you offer me a WC right now I'm not so sure I say no. I guess I do bc of the extra game but I don't have a lot of confidence in our winning the division. Feels like a coinflip. I think I'm rambling again.

Seriously, who's the 2nd-best team in the division right now?

Washington's banged up, Miami just lost Fernandez, is it the Mets?

You guys know opposing pitchers are just salivating over pitching against the Braves this season.

And now BJ is hurt.*eh, maybe not.

Pretty terrible that even if BJ got so bad that Wren/Fredi had to act we don't have anyone ready to produce at an above replacement level. Schafer? Possibly. Probably not. Cunningham? bitch please. Can La Stella play the OF? Pena/Pastornicky platoon should be serviceable right? fml

this is another "good enough to win the division but not good enough to win it all" team/season.

Nah, they'll battle for the wildcard and go one and done in the playoffs. Without a major offensive improvement thats the best hope. Pitching carries them, then blows up late.

What's up with Laird's .167 0Hr 0Rbi and can't catch a third strike for pass ball that leads to 3 runs? What a roster, 30/30 in MLB runs scored.

During Uggla's first at-bat.

"This is Dan's first start in 9 games. He had just one at-bat in the San Francisco series as a pincher hitter where he swung at the first pitch and popped out".

Pretty much sums up Uggla lol. Guy makes >$1M/month.

lol that was a strike but whatever.

Please for the love of god bring up La Stella. Braves are so tough to watch right now outside of Freeman and sometimes JUp and Simmons.

I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned here yet but the Braves got a reworked TV deal from Liberty Media which pays an extra $500M over the life of the contract.

Braves traded for AA Ozzie Martinez, which leads some to believe we are about to call up TLS and dump strUggla. Plz to be true.

Braves did rework their TV deals so now they will be worth 500 million to them. Good, already put it to good use with all the re-signings this season. "

I mean, at worst he should be a poor man's Marco Scutaro. Good average, contact rates, control of the strike zone. Little power.

Steamer projects him to be a ~2 WAR/season player immediately. Do it Wren.
