Regular Season Rants/Discussions - General Info

[AerchAngel]

I know we will have other topics for specific incidents, but for casual BS'ing, I think we need a thread like this.

Let me start off and say, "Welcome to the Braves 2014 season everyone!!"

I will be working on a new YNOT, but waiting to see if I can get max participation.

I can't believe that Freddi is actually putting BJ in the 2 hole. I have no words.....

I think Fredi is trying to demonstrate some confidence in Bossman. Horrible baseball decision, on the face of it.

Huh? You aren't joking are you?

DOB just posted the lineup.

I understand the human element and hopefully it does jump start BJ to a solid season (which I think he will have anyway).

We just all saw, and Freddi had a front row seat, to how dynamic the top 3 of Heyward/J-Upt/Freeman was last year. Why mess with that?

[AerchAngel]

Link to it?

When I can get access to this page, I will put buttons on this page so people can actually get to sites without links in posts. I wish they would hurry and let Sav have some freedom here.

Oh, I agree. I was just trying to get in Fredi's head.

The horror! The horror!

Speechless! Fredi trying to put a BJ in the 2 hole is just par for the course.

:pimp:

If it works, great! If not, there's plenty of games left to try something else. Heyward getting on base and Freeman behind him should give Bossman plenty of good pitches to hit.

Dodgers set payroll record of $234,000,000.

[NinersSBChamps]

I am going to try and have a different mindset this season. That last BJ comment in the GDT not withstanding.

Let's see how long I last.

Let's be honest about how long it takes Fredi to adapt.

I don't know what's more surprising, that their payroll is that high or that it's $31,000,000 more than the Yankees.

[NinersSBChamps]

Wha wha Braves shutout number 1.

[Dalyn]

Teheran pitched well enough. Johnson looked good. Justin looked like a #2 hitting #5, will take him a game or six to start really racking up the walks. Uggla had some good swings and no really bad at-bats. Bullpen did a fine job, especially Schlosser.

BJ looked bad. Freeman looked surprisingly bad. And Gattis looked absolutely dreadful.

This sums it up in a nutshell.

For the love of God, just bat someone else second. Justin, Simmons, CJ, I don't care.

[thewupk]

BJ in the 2 hole....sounds like a weird porno

Gattis is pretty much the only option not better than BJ.

LMAO!!!

[Tapate50]

LMAO!!!

Everyone missed my joke in the gdt right along these lines. I was so sad

Was it the one about a horse and a bartender?

[NinersSBChamps]

Translation in Fredi....Gattis will be the next man to bat second.

Eduardo Nunez just got DFAed. I think he has talent. I'd like to bring him in here.

[NinersSBChamps]

Middle infielder?
