*OPENING DAY* 4/6/'15: Atlanta Braves (Teheran) @ Miami Marlins

[Braves1976]

Good win though, not that worried about the SP for the most part.

Bullpen/offense OTOH oh boy....

I actually don't disagree with you at all here.

[TDlxANDER]

Boys, this was ABC posting today. Good fundamentals, speed and timely posting.

Fast posting never slumps

[Heyward]

How can you claim that after you agreed with Niners so much during the off-season? :)

I agreed with most of the deals, minus a few.

They made so many, it's hard to keep track :)

[Dalyn]

I doubt he's here when we get good again....that being said I don't see anything wrong with that quote. Ya'll are nitpicking again. What's wrong with him building his team up and looking for positives?

It doesn't bother you that he thought we had less than three ks when we actually had seven and six in a row at one point? And three by Dunn all by himself.

I wasn't talking about the trades. I was talking about what you said about the next few years in agreement with Niners, etc.

Odds are we arent gonna be very good the next 2 years.

There isnt a ton to be excited about right now but we have the money to make some splashes next winter.

[CrimsonCowboy]

The day was a complete train-wreck for the Marlins.

I held out more hope for 2016 before some of the last few trades, but now not so much because it's no longer just our offense that concerns me. It's also our bullpen so I am afraid we mostly agree now. Then again most of our issues have been over Fredi so we still have that, lol.

Oops.....that's what I get for posting at work. I just assumed we didn't have a lot of k's, I thought he was trying to look for positives to give his team confidence. Aren't you supposed to look at the box score before you talk to the press or at least have it in front of you? I stand corrected.

He was smart before. Now he isn't. :)

Yeah. If he was right, I definitely wouldn't have a problem with it.

Haha, you're consistent whether we agree or disagree. I respect that. :)

We have alot of money available next year, so who knows what they could get.

Probably not a Ces/JUp/Heyward type but probably need to use some of the pitching to trade for a power hitter.

Could sign a Span/Fowler type, trade for one, reload the pen, and maybe sign a SP.

But without Kimbrel now, i agree.

Regarding Fredi, hard to tell now.

[The Chosen One]

Fredi is going lead us to the playoffs. Managerial season we'll be talking about for the ages.

Haha, I respect your consistency too Jeff. However, I think you're dreaming if serious. :)

Can you say this more please?

[buck75]

Only 81 more wins needed for a winning record!

[The Chosen One]

Can you say this more please?

I'll be sure to reiterate it in a few weeks when you say this team is toast.

[Braves1976]

I'd say both of y'all have your shtick going like clockwork. :)

[The Chosen One]

I'd say both of y'all have your thing going like clockwork. :)

I think San Diego's experiment is going to backfire on them. I don't think the Giants will luck in again. I think the Cubbies will disappoint with all the hype even after they call up Bryant. I think the Pirates will regress. Cincinnati will continue to regress. Washington likely wins the division, and the Marlins are a question mark. Lots of talent but can they keep it together for an entire season.

We actually have some veterans, even though they're not great quality. I think we may catch lightening in a bottle and luck into the playoffs. I'm expecting a huge season from Julio and Alex, especially a big one from Wood. I think our bullpen will surprise. It won't be the O'ventbrel days, but it will be steady enough not to hurt us from getting one of the wild card spots at minimum. Peraza could give us a boost if he figures it out downstairs, and we have tons of money to play with at the deadline with tons of prospects who we can ship right back out. Plus, we have Fredi.
