Braves Regular Season Vent/Rant Thread

[The Chosen One]

Tired of Andrelton swinging for the fences? Better yet, are you tired of Fredi wasting at-bats by continuously putting Andrelton at the leadoff spot?

Has the J-Hey kid not met your expectations yet? Line Drive percentage not big enough?

Is Uggla getting on your nerves by striking out with runners on frequently? Upset seeing Chris Johnson hit 7th or 8th?

And lastly, tired of seeing Laird?

This is the place to rant and vent and release ALL of your frustrations. To help preserve a higher standard of quality of discussion in the gameday threads and any actual baseball discussion thread, this is the place to open up.

Im not much on ranting but I just plain dont understand Fredi. He has a chance at a winning road trip for a change and his lineup is pure putrid considering who we are facing. Why not Heyward and Terdo in the OF, 2 more LH bats, and Gattis catching. Laird and his bat are not going to win many prizes. Win the early start and you put that much more pressure on the Nats and Phillies.

Something he learned from Bobby about getaway days.

Heyward's hammy is more important than Justin's calf muscle. I don't mind giving him off.

Why is there not more outrage over Justin Upton?

Conspiracy by gattis haters

Again, the problem with this team is Heyward and Justin. We could easily overcome our other issues if they were hitting. Two of the most talented players in baseball have been garbage. If they play like this for the rest of the year we will struggle to make the playoffs. If they play like they should we could go far. The season comes down to them.

heyward just came off the DL
terdo can't hit
laird has done a good job hitting this season
doubt the nats/phillies would press knowing the braves won.. it's the last week of july, plenty of baseball left for them to be worrying.

Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together...mass hysteria!

[BRule]

Why hasn't Horrible Ratios or Runny McGopherball been given shots at the rotation when it's obvious we need a jump start?

[Runnin]

I do not want to see BJ have another at bat. He can't even hit Terry Pendleton.

Yeah, and it's not going to matter how fast he gets his foot down with all the **** his hands do before the pitch. He can't catch up to an 88 mph fastball and he never could adjust to a breaking pitch. He needs to clear the land and start over.

[GovClintonTyree]

Hey, this works. I feel better.

If there's anybody who could afford to tear it down and start from scratch, it's L'il Bossman. How much worse could he be while experimenting?

[DjGrizz]

I wanna complain about Chris Reitsma!

[bravesnumberone]

For once, I'd like to see us actually execute a hit and run.

[Dalyn]

For once, I'd like to see us actually execute a pitcher who doesn't get a bunt down.

Kind of funny to read back on some these posts 3 weeks later.

lol yeah I will admit being wrong on this but Gattis does swing at every pitch he see's but I still stand by on everything else I wrote. Bj still sucks and we still have an inconsistent line up. This is why I'm plugging La Stella so much. We need more guys who are consistent not a bunch if guys who will hit 3 hr's in 4 games then do nothing for the next 45 ab's.

Gattis has really gotten hot but how long will it last? I'm surprised that they even throw him a strike because he swings at everything.
