Swanson will play again when Snit hits his name on the dart board.

Not liking playING Neck but sitting swanson.
To be fair though swanson hasn't hit a ball hard in a long time. Something is up with him.
The solution to that is likely not to have him play sporadically.

1/6 in last 2 games, but 2 walks too... .375 obp
Did they say that solely because Rodriguez is playing?
The local Atlanta radio guys are truly atrocious. The fact that Buck Belue is considered some kind of baseball mind is an embarrassment to us all.
His BABIP will go down but he's been much better at the plate(lowering the K's). He hasn't completely convinced me yet but there is a possibility of him being more than just a utility guy.
August 2011, Jose Constanza is in the middle of posting an .844 OPS for the month due to a .365 BABIP and the only 2 HRs he hit in his entire career...and starts several games in place of Jason Heyward.
We are seeing history repeat itself here.

This was chuck and chirnoff. But yes, saying essentially there is no point in rushing SROD through the minors and back to the Atl team if they weren't planning on trading albies and/or Phillips. It does make sense with their reasoning.
Get off my lawn!
so if Swanson is a bust, can we put the whole service clock thing to bed now?!?

Process vs Results....
Be smarter than that.

I mean no disrespect by this at all...but why the fck is Srod in the lineup? It makes no sense...
Dansby should not sit...but if he had to sit, it shouldn't be with a LH on the mound...This is how winning streaks end and losing streaks begin by stupid managing like that...
He could probably start at short and hit .260 and look great on paper.
Sarcasm vs Reality...
You know me better than that

In the real world, having made a somewhat less than optimal decision would end up not having mattered.
Vizcaino starting tonight for Gwinnett for an inning or two. Should lead to activation Tuesday (Freeman down?).
One was an intentional walk. I want swanson to play as well but he has been awful at the plate for a few weeks now
Costanza vs Camargo doesn't make sense. Costanza was always a non-prospect.
You are offered 2 scenarios:
1. Flip a coin, if you guess right you get $100, guess wrong, you get $0
2. A guaranteed $55
Which is the right choice? 2.
If you unwisely pick 1, and you win $100, you still made the wrong choice.
If you unwisely picked 1, won $0, and then luckily found $55 on the street, you still made the wrong choice.
If you are a pozzy-Barve, you excitedly state "better stock up on coin flips chances!!"
Process vs Result. Logic vs Stupidity.

You're basing your Rodriguez opinion on numbers in a box score. Did you see any of the at-bats? Did you get a total on how many swings he's put in the cage. Have you looked at his career stats? Why are you getting bent out of shape over one game? This is the guy they targeted early in the off-season; they only acquired Phillips after he was hurt.
