Wow! Back to back scoreless innings for Cahill. It's a Christmas miracle!
Folks,
Gomes is really bad. Something has to be done to clear up a roster a spot. Dude is dead weight.
Gomes is really bad vs righties, but he can still hit lefties. He came in hitting .385 with a 1.216 OPS vs lefties (best numbers vs lefties on the team). He has bad overall numbers because he's being played too much vs righties.Originally Posted by jsebe10

BUT VETERAN LEADERSHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!
He;s teaching the kids how to win (while we lose)
From DOB:
"Braves place KJohnson on DL with strained oblique, recall Cunningham from Triple-A"
This season keeps getting better and better. I hope when facing RHPs we have Cunningham in there instead of Gomes or EY.
Braves are currently on pace to win 71 games. Braves have been on a 55 game win pace after the miracle 5-0 start. I really don't think 100 losses is out of the question unless our pitching improves.
If he can teach Fredi how to manage, it's a win for us.
Need to see the following letters in regards to Stults pretty soon: D.F.A

His time is running out. The question is on who replaces him. Perhaps Perez? I don't know if I want to start Wisler's or ManBan's clock in a rebuilding year.
Yea I'd rather not rush Wisler or ManBan unless we know we can be competitive. Just too many holes in the team. Forgive my ignorance. Is Wang still down in AAA? Could he be worse than what we've gotten from Stults/Cahill?
Wang's ERA is 5.70. I don't think he could offer us anything.
With KJ going down and Cunningham coming up there will be a void in CF at Gwinnett. Is there a chance that Mallex Smith will be promoted to fill that spot or will Eury Perez man it? It might be too early for Mallex. Hard to say.
But... those innings man!
He has already served the role of not having to force our top arms into the rotation yet. That is the primary function for Stults for now and his time remaining on the roster.

Its fascinating that people don't realize it but I guess I shouldn't be surprised with the posters that mock it.

I don't buy this one iota. If his purpose is to just complete innings, then I'm not impressed. There are relatively few pitchers that couldn't pitch 40 innings over 8 starts with an era of 6. He didn't serve any real function.
Cutting Wandy in favor of him was a mistake. An understandable mistake, but a mistake nevertheless.
Besides, I doubt the three John's anticipated having both Folty and Potentially Wisler in the rotation in mid May.

Fascinating! You understand we could put ANYONE in the rotation to give us bad innings. Wang could do that just fine. We could probably still sign Shayne Rynolds or Albie Lopez.
What's fascinating is we got rid of the superior pitcher. What's not fascinating the typical lot will defend the Braves no matter what
Again, Braves decided on Stults because of his health track record. It has been discussed numerous times. Wang is getting shelled at AAA...he would be even worse than Stults in the majors and probably couldn't last more than 2 innings a start. Its not pretty watching Stults out there but for the long term health of the organization its a positive. However, you are going to turn everything into an absolute negative for the organization (aside from the universally praised Kimbrel deal) while I will look at things in a positive light. I'm ok with that.
