    It's too bad most people probably have him on ignore, because he does have some good stuff to say. Oh well, he has to be one awful person to be around in real life... if he even has any friends, which he probably doesn't.

    I mean, unless Beanie really does just sit there patting his crotch all day.

    Yeah. I used to jokingly show my wife this when I've had some 'heated' arguments on here. She would just roll her eyes. That was until she got into it with someone on facebook about not vaccinating their kids. She understands now.

    If I know one thing, it's that Acuna's projected WAR is equally as important as childhood vaccinations.

    I agree. The difference between 3 or 5 WAR is life and death for the Braves

    Duvall might come out sucking, but he could also come out red hot. If you leave behind the small sample size with us...he is not a bad player.

    I expect Nick to do what he does. Start hot , taper off, but be solid. He won’t really hurt us.

    I honestly think the guy that hold big trade value and is at his peak value is Ender.

    Pretty certain that DD is ushering in the copper era of Coppy by standing pat with all the pitching. I am sensing 112 wins and a debate reheating between the golden wren or the copper heart.

    We're gonna be happy to have our prospects when the deadline gets here. 4 teams this close in talent are gonna be beating each other up and I don't think there is gonna be much seperation between any of us. We're gonna be looking very good come deadline time and the rest will be have spent all ready. We just have to stay close and then loadup. I wish we had a good cleanup hitter but I think we'll be OK.

    If i know one thing about close divisional races, it’s that a team is better off having a good player for 2 months than having a good player for 6 months.

    Any chance AA talks snit into...

    Markakis
    Acuna
    FF
    Donaldson
    Albies
    The rest?

    Markakis' obp the last 4 years is .370, .346, .354, and .366. I think Markakis is more valuable to the braves at leadoff than cleanup

    I think Markakis is valuable to the Braves in different uniform...but whatever.

    Yea that looks good to me...Whatever helps to score enough runs to offset our fckn dump of a blow pen. I dunno about you State, but I’m more tickled pink than fckd school girl on prom night to see Luke “butthole” Jackson out of the pen this season!!

    Why were the Braves lucky last year? We all played pretty much the same schedule as the Mets, Phils and Nats. We won the most games and they didn't. Probably won't this yr,but we did last yr.

    Great news for Phils fans. But shouldn’t every team be in a win-right-now mode? What is the point in showing up if you’re not trying to win? Thankful for being in an organization that wants to win!
