Snitckers said Camargo would get a "day of rest" today after he came out out of game yesterday.

Like you, hope it's not serious.

Snitckers now says he'll hold Camargo out the rest of the week as a precaution.

Astudillo!! There is nobody in the world that I want to see play major league ball than that guy. He probably never will, but there isn't a baseball player on planet earth more unique and intriguing than my boy Willians. I almost wish we would have given him a cup of coffee when we were obviously not going to win anything. I think he would have been a fan favorite.

Willians has a lot of fans around here.

[salmagundy]

Top 1st ---

Hernandez singles
Herrera singles to CF, Santana cuts Hernandez down trying to go to 3rd, then Herrera picked off
Florimon GO 4-3

[salmagundy]

Bot 1st ----

Albies leads off with single to RF on 1st pitch
Santana FO 7 on 1st pitch
Freddie FO 7 on 1st pitch
Suzuki GO 5-3 on 1st pitch

[Enscheff]

I was just going to ask if Albies ambushed another first pitch fastball haha.

[Tapate50]

Julio not with his best stuff

[salmagundy]

Julio 4 IP, 4 hits, 1 run, earned on a HR (Alfaro), 2 HBP, 1 BBs, 1 K

[salmagundy]

In Bot 4th --- Suzuki HBP,
Tucker hits out over RCF wall. 3-1 Braves
Ruiz ends inning with K swinging.

[BeanieAntics]

Tucker has impressed me so far this spring. I didn't know what he was going to be when we acquired him. It looks like he has improved his hit tool a bit.

[chop2chip]

I see Tucker has emerged as the STSSSS* this year. I expect to see his name penciled into some 2022 hypothetical threads come mid-April.

What are you talking about, Tapate? That’s a classic just knows how to pitch line.

I don't think anyone on the board called Tucker the "savior." Just saying he is having a nice Spring. Could that translate to being a useful platoon till Acuna gets the call then being a productive bench piece, yes. Could he just plain suck and he is hitting off pitchers that all they are trying to do is get back in season form, yup.

I don’t know—I think I’m saying he’s the next JD Martínez.

I don't know if I would say probable... but definitely likely.

[CJ9]

Another day of Fried getting hit around.

[CJ9]

Dustin Peterson fly out to the center field warning track in his only AB.

[Enscheff]

Another day of Fried getting hit around.

Don't worry. This is the year he "emerges as a TOR candidate".

You joke, but I feel like the moment thethe finally, begrudgingly, mercifully jumps off the bandwagon, that light’s going to click.

I dunno, he hasn't gotten off the Jenkins bandwagon. There is no more loyal fan than thethe.

[50PoundHead]

Aqua Teen Hunger Force's Carl with the save.

LOL


Based off of the stuff I saw in ST I find it hard to believe that any pitcher in our whole organization (including major leagues) has better stuff than Jenkins aside from Folty.


Jenkins has crazy stuff as well. I think its going to translate to more missed bats as he learns.


I'm real excited about Jenkins. He might have the best stuff in the organization.


I just find it hard to believe that anyone who watched him in ST could not think his stuff will play in the big leagues. Frankly, I'm shocked that he doesn't have higher K rates in the minors because his stuff is top notch.

And don't forget the always predictable "list out every pitching prospect to highlight how amazing the pitching depth is" post:


And they now have the necessary currency to trade for a bat when one becomes available. This rebuild was never going to happen overnight. Braves could go into next season with a legitimate 8 starting pitchers:

Teheran
Wood
Miller
Folty
Perez
Wisler
Banuelos
Jenkins

And they may even sign a pitcher in the offseason as well so that they can trade from their stable. So if you want the Cubs way then it looks like the Braves are on that path now.

Yes, the rotation stalwarts: Perez, Wisler, ManBan and Jenkins!!

There's much more of the same in posts I can't quote for whatever reason.

Does any of that sound similar to what he says about other prospects?

[nsacpi]

the internet never forgets

[sturg33]

ouch

I love thethe but.....

Remind me not to get on Enscheff's bad side. Dude have info on you that he will never relinquish so later he can use it to pound you into the ground when you post stupid s*it.

I really think Enscheff has a mancrush on thethe and clvclv. He MUST respond to every post they make, and remembers everything they have ever posted :cooter:

clvderpclv is the single dumbest poster on these boards, yet insists on presenting himself as an expert Braves fan. I think folks are starting to figure that out.

tehteh is just fun to poke fun at because he's exactly the kind of overly pozzy fan intelligent baseball writers make fun of.

[thethe]

Oh man...I made a mistake. I should just stop following sports.

You literally do the same thing with every prospect haha.

Stop acting like this was a one time deal.

Still want to just give you the attention you crave. Whenever you want to hug it out let me know brosef.

so are you going wobbly on Fried...that's what we all want to know...just a tiny wobble?

A mixture of "Changing the Subject" and "Ad Hominem".

Here's a pretty good list of all fallacious arguments you should avoid when debating:

The last thethe quote is gosh darn treasure haha

To be fair. And I assume that was after Millers good year. Wood/JT/Miller/Folty was a good starting four. Manban always had promise but shoulder or whatever gave out. So I can see his excitement. But thethe always has another gear that most fans can’t reach.

[thethe]

There is no point in arguing with you. Youve decided to be some sort of Internet crusader which is cool. I got it wrong. I make a lot of mistakes. That doesn't upset me.

[Enscheff]

Some quick searching can locate at least 20 instances where tehteh excitedly lists out 5-10 pitchers he thinks are going to be legit SPs in an effort to highlight how amazing the pitching depth of the organization is. We are all then expected to sit back and marvel at the impressive list of names that were given more weight simply due to the fact that they were listed one by one.

It was not some post he did because it was logical to do so after Miller had a nice bounce back year. It's a post he does routinely.

Not judging. It’s just reallllllly funny in retrospect.

actually the braves took his advice by trading Wood for Oliveira

[jpx7]

ouch

Good call by you, though:


Sure - but your argument is that the Braves will use their assets to acquire offensive assets. This FO has only done the opposite so far

[thewupk]

actually the braves took his advice by trading Wood for Oliveira

And Miller for Ender.

We're batting .500 so far on that front
