    I've been saying this exact same thing over the past couple of years. It really makes no sense to me

    There's always a generational talent that breaks every understanding of athletes are supposed to work.

    Or he's cheating.

    I prefer to be naïve and believe he's just a freak.

    Braves make round of cuts getting down to 43 in camp. 6 were optioned opening 6 spots on 40 man roster. Amoung those sent down included Harris, Waters, Weigle and Sobotka.

    Did Nolan Kingham do anything in camp? I had him as a sort of flyer candidate to develop into something.

    Sounds like we are in the thick of it to sign Maikel Franco.

    Worth wondering whether they've seen enough of Lamb already to decide he's toast. Hate to read much into early spring small samples, but he's been pretty bad.

    Ervin's well on his way to winning a roster spot (particularly if Ender isn't ready to start the season), and Kipnis, Adrianza, Goins, and even Kazmar offer more versatility than Lamb. Playing Riley in LF or at 1B, Franco at 3B, and sliding Ozuna or Freeman to DH in interleague games might not be the worst idea. Since Lamb's contract isn't guaranteed, he and Panda could play 1b and 3B in Gwinnett until or if one of them got hot or an injury pops up.

    I think building the bench will be determined by which of these t*rds floats to the top. I agree that Anthopoulos will be watching the cut-downs from other teams very closely. Read O'Brien's write-up at The Athletic today and he seems to think Adrianza is going North.

    This thread has lost it's way. Political/racism talk belongs in the "Locker Room" forum.

    Trying to decide if it's fair to wonder if Ynoa replaces Dayton and Newk gets sent to Gwinnett at whatever point they deem Soroka "ready". Would mean going with a 7-Man Pen (assuming they use a 5-man bench), but you'd have TWO multi-inning guys in Ynoa and Tomlin. That would allow them to go with a 6-Man Rotation and help limit SP workloads. You'd be able to keep Wright/Wilson/Newk/Touki on the ATL-Gwinnett shuttle to work as the 6th SP.

    Austin Riley will be away from the team for at least a couple days. The Braves can’t give the reason right now.

    This seems weird. Any guesses?
