Around Baseball 2015 Edition

[Hawk]

Yea, was it his girlfriend that killed him? Whatever the case, very sorry to hear.

Baby momma, too.

So sad.

 

[Heyward]

Interesting last couple pages.

Do find it funny BRule posts when Heyward gets on a hot streak.

thethe is right though. Alot of people never gave the rebuild a chance and said we'd be lucky to contend by 2018-2020 when we in fact could very well contend for the division next year dependng what happens this winter.

Not bad for a clueless FO.

Well because thus far "I told you so".

Well, before the season I said the Braves would win the same amount of games as last year. I.E. they would finish about two games under .500. So, actually, thus far, I told YOU so.

 

[Julio3000]

Phil Coke is available.

His lines haven't been so hot—in fact, they blow—but maybe if we put him on the bump we can get his career back on the rails, and maybe have another sell-high candidate at the deadline.

I said we would win around 75-78 games which I still believe unless Viz/Withrow help the pen.

I believe I recall you saying we would win a lot of close - low scoring games.

So no, you haven't told us so.

If I did say that, which I highly doubt, that would have been before the Kimbrel deal.

Is the rule 5 guy from the Rockies going to be a pen option in the second half?

He had surgery in June of last year so I would wait 14 months at least wiht a pitcher so I don't think theres a high degree of liklihood he impacts the current years team.

I assure you did.

Even you weren't crazy enough to think a lineup that included EY jr, Gomes, and CJ every day was going to be an "improvement"

I doubt Winkler makes the ascension this year -- he pitched off a mound for the first time about two weeks ago, though.

Heyward 107 wRC+ Markakis 109 wRC+

Most people including you said the offense would be all-time bad, one of the worst in baseball and way worse than last years jugular lineup.

While many others aka the homers thought there wouldnt be much difference with the offenses.

Interesting article on the Rays and Royals

Very interesting. The counter is what happens when your bullpen arms are falling off in August? (If they are, obviously)

I suppose the cure for that is to continue to develop pitching so that you can shuffle bullpen arms to the majors.

 

[BRule]

Another Heyward HR

 

[thewupk]

Another Heyward HR

His offense is a joke though

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Go back into your hole and beat your substandard penis to pictures of Carmelo.

 

[zbhargrove]

Another Heyward HR

So why aren't you a Cards fan, again? It's ridiculous that you can't admit that the Heyward trade was a very good trade.
