5/25 Braves seeking runs, any kind of runs, vs Brewers

[UNCBlue012]

And the Brewers have guys on first and second, thanks to a walk and Aybar being an idiot.

 

[UNCBlue012]

lol he is so bad

He is. I get that we could get lucky and he turns it on to give us a good prospect, but he's hurting our young pitchers - especially mentally.

 

[Braves1976]

Anddddd Aybar is continuing to cost us. Dude is an idiot.

It isn't that, he just lacks range and his arm is so bad now pitchers and Carter can get infield hits on him if he bobbles at all.

I must admit, I am unconcerned about the record this year. They can lose 140 if they want to. IMO, if we re gonna miss the playoffs and not be in the hunt, might as well lose 100 and get the #1 pick next year and the highest amount of draft money.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Good stuff Folty!

 

[UNCBlue012]

And Aybar is thrown out trying to steal. Dude, you FINALLY get on base, stop screwing around.

 

[thewupk]

wow Aybar

 

[USMA76]

Why in God's name would you have Aybar steal? He's on base so rarely, you'd think our manager might want to enjoy the experience.

 

[bravos4evr]

probably because you don't expect anyone else to get a hit behind him... lol

 

[UNCBlue012]

SCREW YOU VILLAR! Why would the idiot trying to run on Inciarte?

Yea, dumb to run on Inciarte. Good job by Brignac too after Inciarte got him the ball quickly.

It's incredible how good Inciarte is defensively. I loved Heyward and thought he was one of the best defensively outfielders that I'd ever see, but Inciarte is better.

 

[UNCBlue012]

I still think the Braves need to make a trade for Lucroy and Braun.

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

Gotta love Chip taking shots at Braun.

 

[UNCBlue012]

He has a lot to learn, especially with controlling his location, but my lord Folty is talented. He just throws with such ease.

 

[Braves1976]

I agree, Inciarte is better mainly due having a better and more accurate arm and his ability to play all three OF positions at an elite level. Heyward is great in RF, same as Inciarte is, but Heyward isn't as great in CF as Inciarte.

 

[USMA76]

Yep--if there's a MLB player I despise more than Braun, I don't know who it would be.

Folty's slider was like 81-83 last year. It's 87-89 tonight.

I'm afraid it as. Defense has taken another step back. K rate has increased. Only saving grace is that his BB% has increased but it's not uncommon for both the K and BB rate to increase at the same time once a player starts to decline (Uggla). Power is still as bad as it was. No positives at all really.

But remember the negabraves were blasted for pointing out how stupid the contract was... he basically was market perform from year 1 and it looks like it's going to get ugly... 2.5 more years of this mess

 

[bravos4evr]

lol, this is off topic but I had to share it, some guy on facebook just said David Ortiz has surpassed Ted Williams as the greatest Red Sox player of all time. hahahahaha
