8/12/2015: MLB Thread Wednesday, Wisler seeking 6th win; Braves seek run(s)

If we were gonna use viz in the 8th, why not being em in when it was 2nd and 3rd up 1 in the 7th? Challenge him and try to keep the lead

I told ya, Fredi trying to make sure we lose because we need that top 5 draft pick. Give him credit where it's due. :)
 
I thought I'd tuned in to watch a Braves game but in the bottom of the seventh inning the 1962 Mets showed up...smh.

Viz and Simmons have a chance to be very good late in games next season

Yea, that Viz for La Stella trade has worked out at least. It looked bad after the PED suspension but now it looks like one of our better deals this past off-season.
 
Good job by Fredi turning what looked like a sure win into a loss and thereby improving our draft pick status. Let the tanking continue, top 5 draft pick here we come! :)

Marksberry is a lock for next year according to Bowman...

I like Marksberry. You can't coddle your rookies all the time. Fredi was still throwing Peterson out there in leadoff when he struggled. Didn't seem to destroy his confidence as he's bounced back ok. We still keep throwing Folty out there as wild as he is.

I'm not sure who exactly we signed with the extra pools of international money (i've heard Baez for one), but I think most people would absolutely take Viz and Baez for La Stella. Especially since we have a glut of middle infield prospects and obviously have a desire to keep the elite arms as starters for as long as possible

Only Baby Harang among our rookies impresses me. He is a colossus among pygmies.

I cannot recall which names exactly either but I agree that the slot money improves that deal for our side too.
