Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

Time to cut bait when he’s now as likely as ever to have a stellar season?
No thanks.
Ventura's Stolen Bases
To be fair, it was a really small amount of money they were arguing over. He’ll get over it. People are usually hot in the moment. Apparently Braves people need to wear their hats more obviously too
What's the norm on these issues? If team representation is their more often than not then I agree with folty.
I believe almost exclusively the teams send legal and operations. The GM rarely goes as does anyone else.Originally Posted by thethe

Ventura's Stolen Bases
Team representatives were there. It’s in the second paragraph. Folty just doesn’t know the new front office and kept repeating nobody was there
I wouldn't constitute that as whining.
The reason you don't go to arbitration over 100,000 is that you don't build bad blood with players over an insignificant amount of money. The article is behind pay wall, but I suspect I am on Folty's side of this argument.
He said he didn't care about the difference in money but was upset that nobody from the Braves actually went to the hearing. But the article also explains Braves people were at the hearing just that Folty didn't know who they were.
If he didn't "care about the difference in money", why in the *ell did he drag team officials and attorneys to a hearing in Arizona in the first place?

He actually did say that he cared about the difference. He said, multiple times, that he felt he 'deserved' it.
Do both sides know what the other sides are submitting before the fact?

What difference does it make? The Braves could have kicked $100k his way after the numbers went public.
They aren't spending on anything else.
Ah true they could have.
Very silly not to just agree to the $100K for him.

Can teams do that once it goes to arbitration? I don't believe the player/team knows what the other side is submitting.
One time, a player and the organization submitted the same figure. Needless to say, salary was resolved before the arbitration hearing.
Maybe not, but I can visualize an interview with folty stomping around the room, kicking the floor, huffing/puffing all with a blood red face. You know... like when he gives a couple base runners

Folty gonna have a yuge season

My top 3 brave starters this year in order of effectiveness:
1. JT
2. Gohara
3. Newcomb
Swanson sucks
I was just about to come here and make a post about the same article, except I was going to blast the Braves.
I suppose some people value different things.
