Jaime fastball is basically Jose Capellan straight.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Jaime has a live arm, but the control of a ten year old driving a car.

Bad hyperbole, but it's the only thing that came to my mind. Deal with it!

We get that you hated Wren but don't be ignorant

Listen, when you are given elite level talent at minimum salary dollras you have to be really awful at your job to not get a bunch of wins.

 

[Julio3000]

Bethancourt is mad quick back there.

Juan away.

 

[Heyward]

Again... we led the majors in wins the last 5 years... Calm down on the roster bashing

He isnt wrong.

Watching CB behind the plate gives me a lot of confidence...maybe even some warm feelings.

 

[Julio3000]

Juan more now . . .

 

[Braves1976]

LOL at Chip saying he blew him away! (It was a change-up)

 

[Dalyn]

The roster failed because of 3 or 4 guys out of 25 with Fredi at the top. That's really what happened. We had multiple players have historically bad years.

 

[sturg33]

He isnt wrong.

Yes he is. The Braves' roster was loaded with talent. Last year didn't work out. The previous 4 did very much

Just some of that piss. Rub a little of the vinegar on your pants.

Almost every hitter was the exact same and there was too many black holes. Wren's roster constructiuon was a joke.

This seems racist.

It was a lineup built under the premise that strikeouts don't matter. Wren said as much in many interviews that his people crunched the numbers and felt that strikeouts didn't matter. Having one or two of those guys in a lineup is a smart idea to get some pop but a lineup built upon that principal is stupid and it eventually proved itself out.

 

[Runnin]

I love this offense. I don't know what all the bitching has been about.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Series winnnnn!

 

[Dalyn]

Makes me want those 80 wins over the 70.
