    Folty Already Whining...

    http://www.myajc.com/sports/baseball...45somDd5U7jEJ/

    Who didn't see that coming?

    Time to cut bait.
    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?

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    i agree that they should've ponied up the $100K. as i've stated before.
    he said he was upset no one from the org was there. they were. that's a fact.

    If folty had flipped a table at the meeting and cursed everyone, you would still side with him over the FO. You seem to hate the braves’ FO
