    I think they should see what’s out there for Folty and Ender. Might not be anything, but if anyone values them highly...AA should jump. We need another starting pitcher and I can’t imagine Folty, Gausman or upcoming rookies to be steady enough.
    So you think the Braves are going to trade Inciarte in the next 2 weeks?

    This is for sure a sucky time to hit a losing streak. Obviously this is only game one but it’d be really nice to take three of four or split with the Nats.

    After Necks homer, Chip just said when we look back on this current Braves run that he will be the most important player of this era because he plays hard and brings Lairdership and showed our young players how to play the game...what a terrible take.
    People will remember Neck as a solid player and someone that hit in the least optimal spot for years not the most important player of our run haha.

    Wilson and Wright are not playoff pitchers for the Braves.

    I can’t fond a single good thing to say about Ender’s return. I was hoping he’d at least spray a couple balls around even if they didn’t result in hits.

    JD with more BBs killing the team.

    Seeing Culberson throw 91 was cool though.

    I'd option Riley for duvall post game. I'd then start camargo in LF tomorrow and duvall in rf. Give these 2 some playing time before the deadline to see if they can help us. I'd play ender and markakis vs rhp

    Man, Ender is truly awful. Camargo with a solid game is good to see

    I hope. I have found I have zero knowledge on what AA “actually” does though. That has also turned out to be a good thing most of the time lol.

    I think it's fair to give Ender more time in a timeshare to see if he can get something going, but if he doesn't start going the other way again instead of trying to pull everything, combining it with not having his usual defense...


    Then man, we might be up the creek without a paddle with one of the outfield spots. That might also mean a call for Duvall too to see if he can help.
    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.

    I don’t think so. Ender is the only true black hole in this line up. Yes Riley is Riley, but they respect his power and he gets on streaks.

    Maybe. I'd option Riley for at least a few weeks though. He hasn't looked real good lately. I'd try a camargo/ender platoon a while or even a camargo and duvall/ ender and Markakis platoon

    I am so ****ing tired of these weak ass college bums with their supposed high floors. Anytime now Wright should slot right in behind Gilamrtin and Hursh..... the sad thing is we didnt learn from it. Instead of trading Wright at the first opportunity we are keeping him until his value is so bad only Dayton Moore will have interest. Cant wait till Langeliers fulfills his floor as a AA backup catcher and Shewmake fills that coveted utility role. Cant wait till we do it again next year only this time we will cite our ****ty drafting as the reason we need more ****ty high floor college players that never even sniff their supposed floor. Might as well just take college seniors who will sign for 50k for the first round. Probably get better results. Once Pache/Waters/Anderson graduate we will be a bottom 10 farm system for the foreseeable future because of this ****.

    I know what you mean. Outside Julio, name one more pitcher that has came up and made a lasting impact for us since 2010. Minor and Morton have done well other places but that's other places. One year from Folty and half years from Fried and Soroka don't count as lasting.
