Game Thread: 4/9

Is Fredi still hiding in the corner of the dugout.

[bravesnumberone]

Sucks having little to no hope after one week of games. Product remains mostly garbage.

[sturg33]

We're not any where close to contention folks. I think 2018 is a pipe dream.

[sturg33]

Well he's not so man up and move on

OK I'll try to man up. Thanks

[striker42]

This bullpen is awful. Combine that with tons of mental mistakes and we're giving games away. Ridiculous.

[msstate7]

You can do it. I believe in you

[Russ2dollas]

Use the day off to upgrade. No way this roster should be the same vs Miami Tuesday

Defense is letting us down

Carrying all these rp doesn't help if only a couple are good

Suzuki is a pinch hitter for us. Think about that

I've said for a while that we should trade Julio and Freddie and gun for 2020.

Most of our system's elite talent is under 20.

I'm not the one who supported losing a year of prime Swanson in a wasted season.

And I'm not the one who was delusional enough to think the Braves finishing the season strong was going to carry us into 2017. All it did was cost us in the future.

I agree... not enough positional talent and the pitchers haven't advanced quickly enough to make an impact quickly enough

Imagine if we had someone like Margot right now instead of Matt Wisler

Well apparently the FO doesn't care what you think. Swanson is here... you should probably move on with your life instead of dreaming about Swanson patrolling SS in Gwinnett

You are the annoying one though

The FO doesn't seem to be too bright.

But hopefully we'll eventually be a winner again like we were under the Wren administration.

I'm certainly not defending the FO at the moment.

Seth Beer here we come!!

What's annoying is winning games at the end of last season. Also annoying to waste a year of Swanson by not waiting until next week to call him up.

[FreemanFan]

Does it really matter if Swanson becomes arbitration eligible in August or at the end of the season? Either way, he can't file until after the season. Winning at the end of a lost season did cost us a much higher draft pick, though.

Calling up Swanson last year or having him start this season in Atlanta had no bearing on when he could become a FA. Waiting until next week to call him up for the first time would of delayed it for another season. So essentially 6 weeks of Swanson (4 in a lost season) is worth giving up an extra year of control.

If this is the extent of your knowledge, it's probably best you stay out of discussions regarding player control.

[Enscheff]

Remember when folks thought this team could win 80+ games?

Those people are funny. And also nowhere to be found...
