In what twisted world is Erlin and Milone better than Hamels. I think Hamels could had thrown underhanded and bee better than those guys.

I think we should at least sign someone like Miller, La Stella, or Cabrera to be a super sub and replace Camargo. But maye they are expecting Shewmake to step into that role during the season.

Read somewhere just this morning that LaStella is unlikely to sign for a part time role.

Hamels looked to barely have anything left in the tank in 2019 imo and I was worried Snit would make start him game 1 of the playoffs just based on his reputation as a playoff ace. If he was healthy he definitly starts over Anderson no matter how good Ian was or how bad Hamels was. I think we might not even make the NLCS if Hamels was in the playoff rotation.
As for Morton its a couple things. His age. I dont feel he is a good bet to be healthy come playoff time. Also there was something weird going on with the Astros when he broke out with them. Astros and Rays seem to have some kind of secret sauce when it comes to pitchers and I have no confidence in our pitching coaches. Its hard to have a bad one year deal imo because its only 1 year but I am a lot more optimistic about Morton than I was Hamels. I think he will be a 4.25-4.50 ERA starter for us.

Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
Hamels looked perfectly fine in 2019. If he was healthy, we likely would have won at least 2-3 more games over the course of the season. We didn't lose a game before game 3 of the NLCS, so I feel pretty confident we'd have still been ok with Hamels starting game 2 of every playoff series. It's completely plausible that we even beat the Dodgers if we had another competent starter to run out there instead of Wright or doing a BP game.
What exactly about our pitching coaches makes you lack faith in them?

Hamels' presence would have kept guys like Erlin and Milone off the Braves' roster. Can't prove the negative, so it's conjecture on what Hamels would have meant in terms of W/L, but given the lame performances we saw from those who started games in his absence I think it's safe to say the Braves would have been a better team if he would have been able to compete.
What is this about Hamels not being good in 2019?
