Okay I'm back, I thought I was going to just hold this one away. If Winkler just isn't that good, they really adjusted to him fast as it wasn't luck, he was striking everybody out.
Thought the Braves might lose the Scherzer game before this series started, but this game in a way was a little infuriating. Several hard hit balls didn't work out for the Braves.
Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
There's more problems than Winkler though, and the main one being the question of why has nothing been done LH RP wise.

2 runs on 14 hits. One run for every 7 hits. That's really, really hard to do.

2 runs on 14 hits is some tough luck.
I've not been impressed with AA either. I never have really understood what people see in him. He wasn't good in Toronto.
I complain a lot and I get it’s uneeded, but we were legit unlucky today/tonight. We missed 4-5 homers, had replays screw us over, were robbed 2-3 times. Awful luck. We played relatively well and had nothing go right.
On a good note, Acuna looks REALLY good right now
If we had half the luck the Phils have, we'd be 10 games up in first.
Of course we were unlucky tonight. Still doesn't justify not upgrading the pen and flaherty at the very least. We were 3 games in front 3 weeks ago... the time to address our weaknesses was 2 weeks ago, and we still haven't
Ventura's Stolen Bases
He was like the best GM they ever had in Toronto man, I dunno.
AKA International Bonus Pool Slot
He was the best GM they ever had and he got Donaldson/Price for relatively low costs.
And yet that team was never good and he left it in disarray.
AA has to weigh the cost of inaction versus the benefit of waiting the price to drop. But I'm also of the view he should have picked up a situational lefty by now. The price for guys like Loup is not gonna change much.
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."

They nearly made the WS in 15 and made the ALCS in 16.
Strange position to take.
I’ll go with Pat Gillick.
We have Ryan freaking flaherty as a bench bat too. He has to be upgraded bc snit isn't gonna stop double switching him
Let's not forget AA traded Noah Syndergard for Dickey and Halladay for trash.
How many 1st rounders has he not signed now?
Both he and Swanson are starting to get it. I really like what we have on offense right now.
Snitker on Sam Freeman: "We need that kid to be a big part of what we're doing down there. He's capable, he's done it before and he'll do it again. We just need to hang with him." #Braves
Screw you, Snit.
