It is then logical to assume he will improve at guessing at the MLB level as well. Or maybe his improvement was due to him legitimately getting better at identifying AAA breaking balls. I don't think any of us have the data required to make that determination.

    However, the Braves do have that data. They have the MiLB statcast data to tell them how his plate discipline is progressing, and I'm going to to assume they will use that data to inform their decisions.

    Giving up on Riley now would be just as dumb as handing him the 3B job on opening day.
    Shocking that you'd point out that you'd mentioned something before yet you whine like a *itch when anyone else points out they'd said anything else earlier.

    Pretty obvious you're the only poster who's ever had an original thought.
    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?

    Shaw/Camargo would be perfectly fine - if you sign Ozuna to hit behind Freddie.

    The only one that whines is you. What Enscheff posted above is not even in the same realm as the crap you repost on a daily basis.

    This site has just devolved into a constant bickering match between the two of you. If you could just take some of the criticism you receive about your posting, it would fix most, if not all, of the problems. No one wants to read your multiple paragraph lists of players we should trade for or have in AAA.

    When I was in 4th grade I had a mutual hate relationship with another kid. Eventually we fought and he whipped me. Being 9, I decided we were going to keep doing it again and again because I was going to whip him back one day.

    After a couple of years and a few more whippings I figured out that I was the bigger part of the problem. I quit picking fights and we eventually respected each other and got along. You're at the same point right now that I was when I figured that out.
    Go get him!

    You haven’t had an original thought that turned out to be correct in the whole time I’ve been on this board. Looking at a list of FAs and stating each of them “makes at least some sense” isn’t an original thought. Regurgitating names you hear being potentially available in trade isn’t an original thought.

    Original thoughts are:

    Imperially grading pitches based on objective data, which was then copied by FG.

    Identifying Yandy Diaz as a launch angle candidate before anyone else was talking about it.

    Pointing out Riley’s red flags even while he was posting tremendous results.

    Detailing why Fried needed to add another pitch to get away from the 4 seamer.

    I could go on for a while, but the fact you can’t tell the difference between the content I come up with vs the blabber you produce tells the whole story already. Several other people are saying exactly the same thing, and yet you can’t see it.

    While correct, this isn’t an original thought.

    But congrats on at least regurgitating something that’s correct.

    As a Braves fan, do you really want credit for being able to identify someone pulling a Jeff Francoeur? That’s something we’re all uniquely qualified to do.

    Dodgers/Yanks/Angels 3 favorites for Cole, no real surprise, per Passan. Offers coming in the coming days, sounds like he could sign sooner than expected.

    Exactly what the ignore button is for - when we had one to use. Even without one, all you have to do is skip them if you're not interested.

    Last time I checked, no one else needed to consult others before posting whatever was on their minds. More than anyone else here, I go out of my way to point out that I post strictly as a fan - not some undiscovered mastermind. If others would realize that about themselves as well, it'd do their blood pressure worlds of good. I obviously have no problem taking the criticism from anyone since I still post. Luckily this place is here for everyone to disagree with others' opinions and provide a place to talk about why. Those who make it personal cause the problems, and yes I'm one of them when it comes to being singled out.

    It's an internet message board for crying out loud - if you come to one of these expecting folks to universally agree with you and/or constantly kiss your *ss, it's tough to take you as overly intelligent.

    Of course, the whole world loves Trump, right? Just ask him (and ignore everyone else at the summit joking about him when he's not standing with them).

    Hey guys, it’s just a message board. Feel free to write as many stupid things using as many words as you want. Take up an entire page with any moronic blabber that crosses your mind. We definitely don’t want a place to have more intelligent discussions than what we can already find on FB or hundreds of failed blogs.

    If it happens then him and Grandal are nice additions to that lineup and them competing. Also one more person off the list of who could hit cleanup for us.

    Does this mean he will be an all star player? Boras has a knack for aligning himself with the best players.

    BeanieAntics payroll chart has acuna at 12.5. He won’t make 12.5 this year. That’s the figure that counts towards the luxury tax but I believe his salary for 2020 is around 2 mill.
