Come on, Utley!
So, Atlanta will select 16th in next year's MLB draft. It was a lousy year, and the Braves still can't get a top 15 pick.
This season sucked but I'm still sad its over

Awful year, fellas. I'll be back and forth on the board without a doubt though!
I hope we can get this whole offense figured out this offseason because it's been embarrassing the last few months.
Atlanta ended the year averaging 3.5 runs per game. The Angels lead baseball averaging 4.8 runs per game.

I didn't get a chance to watch one game this year. I blame myself.
Did Simmons pitch?

John Hart just told us that he’d like to go forward w/ Fredi Gonzalez & that he deserves to come back for another year @MLBNetworkRadio
I like Hart less and less.

Well...it's been real, and it's been fun, but it hasn't been real fun.
Picking 16th sucks so bad. We probably aren't going to sign a Type A FA anyway.
Late since I wasn't home when the game ended, but better than never:
Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide

FYI: The seemingly minor decision to call up Thomas and Northcraft to have them available has the downside of Buchter and Carlos Perez being dropped from the 40-man roster. Two years ago, some felt Perez was the top pitching prospect in the farm system.
At least one bright side: we end the season with a couple wins. That wouldn't have happened in the playoffs!
What a typical, uninspiring Braves win to end the season on. Better than a loss, I guess.
Will not be renewing any baseball package for the upcoming season. Save myself money and frustration. Been watching damn near every game out of market for five years. It's time to cut ties. And no I am not giving up on this team, but aren't spending money on the Braves in 2015.
Ditto, will not be renewing.
