    He’s quickly on his way to supplanting Heyward and Andruw as the laziest players to ever play for the Braves. And I wouldn’t even consider letting him date my daughter.

    Hopefully freeman and snit are both gone after 2 years. Time to rid the team of the old guard. Full of chokers

    Lol, not sure if you’re being serious on Freeman. Yeah, in two years it might be time to cut bait with him if he wants a long term deal, but I’m not trying to get rid of the best hitter on the team right now.

    I can’t believe people are seriously talking about getting rid of Freeman because of a bad (albeit, disastrous) postseason series. There are so many things wrong with that.

    By the time his contract is up he wont be the best hitter on the team. I dont want to trade him but I'm not for extending him either unless it's way under market.

    I understand that, but it’s kind of comical how everyone seems to have turned on Freeman. He’s still one of the best hitters in the league. I mean, Chipper had some pretty horrific performances in the division series. And let’s not forget the disaster in the WC game.

    I don’t think it’s as much that he had a bad series as it is that he called out Acuña in the media and then didn’t back it up with his play while Acuña was beasting. My personal feeling is we’ve made a long term commitment to Ozzie and Acuña so let’s stop acting like this is Freddie’s team and let them take the lead.

    People were right to call out Acuna because that stuff can’t happen.

    Dragging it out and blowing it out of proportion like this is absurd.

    I don’t necessarily disagree but people have framed it completely wrong as well. People are making it out like Acuña is lazy and doesn’t hustle when that couldn’t be further from the truth. He beat out grounders for infield hits several times this year. Most of our players just jog down the line. He misjudged his hit off the wall for a homer so he started his trot and that was an unfortunate mistake but he’s not lazy.

    As for what I learned, it's that Snitker still has not learned how to properly platoon, construct a lineup that takes into consideration middle-late game bullpen matchups, and rest guys regularly throughout the year.


    If they changed the balls for the playoffs only then those games are meaningless exhibition games. You dont play a whole regular season with 1 ball and then switch for the most important games of the year. I dont care if they used new balls this year so long as it's the same ALL year.
