4/13: Marlins at Braves

Why is it mental? He had insane pressure last year. Only pitcher on the team.

This is like newk starting

Pressure is different than expectations. Last year he emerged. This year he was our opening day starter.

I think Fried’s delivery makes it hard for him to be balanced and centered. I feel like he’s often either too open or too closed during release causing him to be erratic. He goes through phases where he’s got the feeling or he’s way off.

I just googled it, and it showed 5 million this year so I didn't read any farther. Thanks for clarifying.

5 guaranteed includes 3 million buyout for 2022

Didn't know Iggy had a son?

Is it sorta embarrassing the braves gave pache andrruw's number with no track record?

[tululush]

I'm a big AA fan, but Tomlin and camargo contracts on a tight budget are just indefensible.

I don’t understand why we felt the need to roster both Camargo and Adrianza if we were tight on cash. Keep the cheaper option and dump the surplus back into the pen or bench. Same could be said for any replaceable arm in the pen. If you’re not a high leverage guy, you don’t need to be taking up more than a league minimum salary spot on our roster. I’d rather go with studs and scrubs vs a bunch of middle of the road players.

The embarrassment is not retiring 25 ages ago

Duvall is in the wrong dugout. I think deep down we all knew that. But we are not broke, we just have ownership that doesn't care about a ring just the financial bottom line. If Freeman ends up in LA because of the cheap crap I am done.

[TheBravos]

I would rather have Greene and Duvall than Smylylylylykylyly. I think that was THE mistake. If the budget was that tight...you just don’t spend 11 mil on a gamble when you sign Morton also.

Man you guys flip flop so much. Its been like 10 games

I am in no way giving up on the season, but it's hard to see how this team is better than last year minus Duvall, Greene, Melancon, and Flowers.

[CyYoung31]

I know this sounds crazy, but I’m still more worried about our offense than our pitching.

Well, the rotation will be better (I mean it has no choice even without additions), while the offense will be worse. Bullpen should be about the same, although we do need another RHP.

Braves were a 90-95 win team last year. This year should be about the same barring something catastrophic.

[CyYoung31]

nah

Speaking of?

Ohhhh shoot

I hope you are right but as you well know I am not really a big believer in the numbers say this or that from the past I focus on what I see in the here and now and its not pretty.
