We will never catch SD for the best record for Beer.

EOF, Chaz, and krol say don't give up so easily

 

[jpx7]

Very interesting to watch legitimate teams, then reflect on the Braves.

Never should have let AJ go. Interpret however you like.

I thought Wade Boggs had that.

Didja notice who the first person was out of the ineffective Padres' bullpen was yesterday? Bethancourt! Worked 1.1 innings, 3 hits, 2 walks, 3 ER (a three-run dong to Seager).

Moylan: one-third of an inning, one strikeout for KC.

San Diego has truly outdone themselves in putting a garbage product on the field. Margot and Renfroe will have to be good immediately for them to win more than about 60 games.

But but but... he made the roster.

I'm not too disturbed by that because moving him allowed us an extra season of AJ's veteran leadership to help guide and teach our young pitching staff.

There's a veritable plethora of ineffective ex-Braves in San Diego. In addition to Bethancourt, there's Trevor Cahill, Erick Aybar, and Jhoulys Chacin. I would add Ryan Buchter, but he pitched a grand total of one inning as a Brave.

When Chacin is your opening day starter, that really says something and what it says isn't particularly good.

That's what a $33 million dollar roster will buy you.

Is it too late to trade for Quintana? Looks like he'd fit right in...

Would be a real genius move if Q blows out an elbow and the Suxs are stuck holding the bag.

Was in Toronto over the weekend. Blue Jays home exhibition game was on TV near the bar in the restaurant on Saturday. Saw our old pal, Salty, up at the plate for Toronto.

He will get 75 cents on the dollar what he could have gotten this offseason.

It doesn't matter how many runs Bethancourt gives up on the mound. He should only be pitching when the Padres are way ahead, way behind, or long extra inning games to save the other relievers arms. Giving up 3 runs when your down 5 in the 8th does not matter.

FYP

Maybe we should start an "Ex-Brave of the Day" thread so that the performance of ex-Braves can be channeled into one place. Hard to vote against Heyward's RBI single in the Cubs' win, but I'm going with Erick Aybar's 3-3 with 2 2Bs and a walk in the Padres' 4-0 win over the Dodgers.

He's going to be the next Reggie Sanders and Melky Cabrera

So he will start juicing?
