    If the Braves are still awful by the time Newcomb is 28 like Arrieta was, the rebuild will have already failed miserably and there will be new Johns in the FO.
    So the Braves are dumb for not calling a guy like Newcomb up and paying him while he figures it out...but they're also stupid for calling guys up while we're bad because we have to pay them earlier and lose them earlier?

    Oh, you just twist every single situation into somehow a negative for the Braves?

    For the record, I'll take 100 blind homers before I care to listen to 1 blind hater.

    No we should trade for quad A guys in hopes something happens that happens once every ten years. Also hope those quad A guys don't break down resulting in calling up guys not ready. If you think about. It really is the only thing that is not moronic.

    I wonder if we get to the point where Neslony gets at bats ahead of Braxton Davidson. Neslony has done nothing but hit since signing, and Davidson has been pretty much horrible since signing.

    Is Davidson still getting a lot of walks? Perhaps we should tell him to start swinging away early in counts. Whatever he's doing is not working

    He is still pretty young. So he will keep getting at bats. But eventually we will trade him to a rebuilding club who thinks he might turn into trout.

    Get the sand out of your vagina. You are like the Bizzaro Bill Shanks. I didn't say I predicted he would become an ace. Unlike yourself I don't post here to try and inflate my ego. I am right a lot and I am wrong a lot. I have no problems admitting what I got wrong. Go up a few threads and you will see me saying I liked Braxton Davidson and that sure isn't going well right now. Enlighten me how you go about evaluating draft prospects since there is no WAR stat for you to jerk off to.

    No big secret why I call this night the most important. Just about every starter going had something to prove and it has been quite a coincidence that each of them had his best start of the year today.

    Makes me feel like I've been paying attention.

    I think the pitchers need to work it out in the majors.

    I get the signings we did. I'd prefer not to have dickey and let the best man win that spot. But maybe the extra service time and humility will pay off. I hope all 3 one year guys are gone at the deadline and our guys are up

    I have the opposite view. I'd try to minimize "learning time" in the majors. Some of it is unavoidable. But I'd want those six pre-free agency years to be as near peak production as possible and as little learning curve as possible.

    Fried was great.. Newk was ok... first 4 hitters..he was awesome.. then partially through the 2nd until the end of 4th he got lucky.. deep counts and several line drives snagged. great 5th.

    Neslony now homers for Florida. He needs to be playing every day.

    Dang 2 hits and 0 runs over 5 innings. I mean he "did" walk 4, but that's not a "ok" line to me.
