That's our SS boys!

[Garmel]

**** yeah!

[thewupk]

He came

[nsacpi]

I'm genuinely curious how many on the board would be in favor of sending Swanson down for a few weeks, at minimum, to re-set his mind and re-focus his glove and his bat in the dimmer lights of AAA. And if some aren't in favor yet, when is the cut-off? We're a week into June, and he's still batting below .200, so if the answer isn't "now", I'm assuming it's "never" (at least as far as 2017 is concerned).

For the record: I'm skeptical the team would actually send Swanson down from Cobb County, even given his shaky start in the field and abysmal performance at the plate, because they pinned so much on him this season and don't want to shoot Gudetama all over their faces. But I still think it's a worthwhile discussion.

I see what u did there

Realistically, Swanson is what, .280-.290 15 hr guy in coming years?

[TheBravos]

So if Albies isn't quite ready next year...do we sign BP back one a one year deal? I really like that dude.

The mood on Swanson went from "he needs to be sent down to AAA" to "our SS rules and will hit .280 with 15+ bombs" in the matter of 1 page lol.

I've never said send him down. This team isn't fighting for the playoffs... I want him learning in Atlanta.

[thewupk]

Folty got away with one there

[thewupk]

Folty should be done. His control is diminishing quickly.

[msstate7]

Come on folty

[UNCBlue012]

And here is the Folty we aren't used to seeing... really bad control this inning

[Garmel]

Uh-oh.

[Enscheff]

This is where he needs to limit the damage to 1-2 runs

[thewupk]

that will work

[msstate7]

Folty gold glover
