8/12/2015: MLB Thread Wednesday, Wisler seeking 6th win; Braves seek run(s)

[Braves1976]

Viz blew away Longoria with that 98 mph fastball. Two K's so far.

[Braves1976]

No they scored a TD and AJ "blocked" the extra point.... Oh wait

Haha. :)

[msstate7]

If we were gonna use viz in the 8th, why not being em in when it was 2nd and 3rd up 1 in the 7th? Challenge him and try to keep the lead

[Braves1976]

They looked like they had no chance against Viz, great inning there.

I told ya, Fredi trying to make sure we lose because we need that top 5 draft pick. Give him credit where it's due. :)

[msstate7]

Viz and Simmons have a chance to be very good late in games next season

Well we got the right man in charge. Fredi can lose games in September with the best of them

[USMA76]

I thought I'd tuned in to watch a Braves game but in the bottom of the seventh inning the 1962 Mets showed up...smh.

Yea, that Viz for La Stella trade has worked out at least. It looked bad after the PED suspension but now it looks like one of our better deals this past off-season.

[Braves1976]

Good job by Fredi turning what looked like a sure win into a loss and thereby improving our draft pick status. Let the tanking continue, top 5 draft pick here we come! :)

[Braves1976]

Forget Sept., Fredi says let's get the party started now! :)

Did you hear about Fredi asking to play WoW with Schilling and getting denied? He only wanted to tank.

[The Chosen One]

Or you completely shatter any confidence they have

Then they aren't cut out for the big leagues.

[NinersSBChamps]

Gotta love leaving to get food after we went up 6-3, and coming back to see that it's now 9-6 the other way.

What the hell happened?

Clearly you should have starved yourself if you were a real fan.

Marksberry is a lock for next year according to Bowman...

Bowman seems to have a liking for tall slender relievers.

I like Marksberry. You can't coddle your rookies all the time. Fredi was still throwing Peterson out there in leadoff when he struggled. Didn't seem to destroy his confidence as he's bounced back ok. We still keep throwing Folty out there as wild as he is.

I'm not sure who exactly we signed with the extra pools of international money (i've heard Baez for one), but I think most people would absolutely take Viz and Baez for La Stella. Especially since we have a glut of middle infield prospects and obviously have a desire to keep the elite arms as starters for as long as possible

Only Baby Harang among our rookies impresses me. He is a colossus among pygmies.

I cannot recall which names exactly either but I agree that the slot money improves that deal for our side too.
