    Braves Regular Season Vent/Rant Thread



    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.

    Forever Fredi

    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.
    Forever Fredi

    Why is there not more outrage over Justin Upton?

    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.

    Don't get me wrong. I think you're a fine poster. I just don't think you're going to the poster everyone thought you were going to be when you joined.

    That is LOL worthy.

    But, from reading my posts for the last 10 years you should know my true ability level and not be dissapointed with what has shown itself on this board.

    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.

    I think I've finally reached my breaking point. I can't stand it any more, so I came here to vent.

    Look, not a lot of the white dudes on this team have hair. But the ones that do probably have the worst ****ing hair in Major League ****ing Baseball.

    What kind of ****ing flattop-doowop-Pony-boy-duck's-ass mess is on top of your head, FREDDIE FREEMAN? That **** is comical. It is the laughingstock of the National League. DAN UGGLA, your cheap**** douchebag 'do makes you look even MORE like the doorman at a low-rent titty club than you already do. MIKE MINOR, you went to Vanderbilt. You should be smart enough to know that your hair is straight booty, but what you need to get ****ing proactive about is the **** growing on your face. 1997 is embarrassed by it. You already look like an extra from The Grapes of Wrath . . . why compound it? Just double down and make it a chinstrap if "rural opiate addict who just graduated from syrup to oxy" is the look you're going for.

    You are millionaires, or are soon to be. Fix that ****.

    Whew. I feel better.

    I've been waiting for that, Julio. Somebody needed to say it.

    These guys have been coasting for far too long. They're complacent.
