Folty optioned, D. Castro recalled

[Julio3000]

More interesting is that someone thinks passing this on to the press is a good idea

More interesting is that it's not coming from Bill Shanks and it's not about a Latino or a black player.

[Julio3000]

Did CB get tagged with attitude issues?

There's a difference from going into in game auto pilot (which is his primary criticism defensively) and having an attitude problem. But I could be wrong

Dumbass Joe Simpson was ALL OVER Bethancourt in his last two starts . . . I assumed that was to some degree parroting the opinions of someone on staff, but there's certainly no evidence for that.

HOW MANY QUALITY STARTS DOES FOLTY HAVE?!???!

Sounds like this team needs to bring a veteran presence to help with the maturity and development of a young pitching staff.

It's because CB's opposite field homerun went too far.

I thought his last 5 games behind the plate were awful. I just remember all the passed balls and knowing that runs managers crazy.

A single could've started a rally that scored a run, but he selfishly decided to keep the glory for himself.

I agree that they were bad, but I don't think it's an announcer's place to call out a young player unless there is something egregious in play.

I agree, but I don't think we can afford McCann.

There is certainly not any reason to question the tremendous potential possessed by Foltynewicz, who in terms of "stuff" stands as one of the most impressive pitching prospects the Braves have possessed over the past 20 years.

Good lord Bowman, you need to stop reading thethe posts.

That's not really that outlandish. Fastball up to 99, plus curve, slider that could become above-average to plus.

****, man, they pay me to hit. Pay me as much as that bald bitch makes and then maybe I would be big brother or psychologist or whatever these guys need.

I hate when "stuff" is simply considered throwing hard.

We need to get rid of Beth. He freaking caught that Banuelos masterpiece last night.
