5/25... going for series win vs pitt

[jpx7]

If there's one thing the Braves have never had trouble with, it's sifting through the trash heap (or relics bin) to find serviceable arms. At this point, with Colon, you'd imagine they are simply interested in recuperating a sliver of their investment, hoping he strings together enough promising starts to be packaged for financial relief, if nothing else.

Yeah, I have to think so. It might be more satisfying to our collective psyche to just DFA him, but I think he's going to get a lot of leeway to rebuild value. Shoot, he already has.

Agreed. Cutting Colon loose now could look like a mess; I'd rather try to hold off on the dump until the deadline.

I'd like to see Ruiz stay up with the team, whatever happens with Garcia.

[UNCBlue012]

I see you, Ruiz.

Bowman said that Ruiz may remain the primary 3rd baseman when Garcia gets off the DL

It shouldn't be a question at this point since Garica likely has a fake injury

That is good news.

[Hawk]

Yup. Ruiz has looked pretty capable out there - exceedingly capable when contrasted with Garcia.

Colon is done. I don't care ifor he redisober his form elsewhere. He needs to be dropped.

[UNCBlue012]

I see you again, Ruiz. It's early, but his average is up to .320.

[CrimsonCowboy]

No question, Rio has to be the primary third baseman, even when Garcia returns.

[thethe]

What a letdown after almost winnING last night.

[bravesfanMatt]

Emma is not happy with Fatolo..

[UNCBlue012]

From Stark: Vince Velasquez exits. So for 45th straight game, no Phillies starter gets an out beyond the 7th. Their longest streak ever to start season

This is how bad they are.

I just wish I had reason(s) to believe him.

Is this some type of Dutch thethe? Ha.

[Dalyn]

He needs to be dropped.

[msstate7]

Maybe colon will just retire

[TheBravos]

He has 12 million reasons to not retire...

[nsacpi]

Colon will turn it around and lead us to the wild card

[msstate7]

He has 12 million reasons to not retire...

He's earned over 114 million in his career. Maybe his pride will persuade him to throw us a bone and retire with some sort of bonus. No idea if this is even possible...
