welcome to the short bus Hawk. you have been tagged and processed.
I did before freeman went down. Now I think it's within a reasonable realm of possibility. Maybe 25%. Things change is Teheran/Swanson get it going long term.

Chip is just upset that Freddie didn't call him during the snow storm.
Did you just respond to yourself?

Snow body's business if he did.

School's about to be out here locally. Attendance is gonna get better. The faction that has REALLY gone quiet is the "infrastructure" crowd. "Waaah the traffic is gonna be bad and its not really atlanta!!!" BS. Go to a game. Traffic flows great and the ballpark is beautiful.
The masses have turned out in droves to watch Swanson in the 8 hole, just as you predicted!
Nobody expected Markakis and Kemp to be this good either. Seems like a fair trade off to me.
Has markakis been much better than many of us have said for years?
Agreed on Kemp but some of us felt that a .900 OPS was going to happen and of course we were told that we were insane.

Muk is on pace for a 3 win season after cracking 2 only once in the past six years.
He won't finish at 3. And as many have said in a given yeat defensive metrics can be wonky.
His defense has been. He's on pace for 2.7 WAR which is higher than any year as a Braves by far and would be his best season overall since 2008.
The team is what it is. You are going to have some surprises and some disappointments. Very rarely you are going to have everybody play above or below expectations. Braves are currently on pace to win 73 games. I would say that's about what most non-homers had in mind.
We will see how it turns out. If the starting pitching doesn't turn around fast then it could be even worse than 73 considering freeman is down.
I wouldn't say wonky but they aren't a true representation of ones defensive abilities due to sample size. But it does measure what actually happens in a given year. Just as offensive stats do for those with an incredibly high BABIP in a given year.
Maybe by 2-3 wins. And that's assuming Freeman would have continued to hit at a Bonds like level. As the team has showed over the last two games the presence of one player doesn't make as much of an impact as you would expect.
Well I've never been in the camp that labels neck a bad fielder. He certainly is no heywood but nobody is.
