Snitker says the Braves “dodged a bullet” with Acuña, who could be back in the lineup tomorrow

The kid isn’t human

And once again this board embarrasses itself with an absurd meltdown.

Well done guys, well done! Coming back to read the feeling was the icing on the win-cake tonight haha!

I thought my melt down was well fueled and quite impressive. I melted from basically the first pitch till the last. And then I passed out as soon as the game ended. Don't think I'll be drinking any beer for tonight's game lol

No you are right to criticize the team and some players. This thread is riddled with Enscheff’s bitch ass doing the same. You stand by your meltdowns and let them ride so you’re good. Fck him.
 
I understand the frustration. It has not been fun to watch. But I think that Pache and Contreras are both pretty good bets to be good MLB players with the upside to be something more than that. The misery of 2021 so far is that they don’t have the space to learn on the job because some other guys—just about our whole veteran core—have stunk up the joint. Freddie, Ozuna, Swanson...those are the guys who need to step up and give some cover to the youts. Obviously, there are other problems—thin bullpen, inconsistent rotation, etc...but to me, Freddie, Marcel, and Dansby pissing the bed is way more frustrating than watching a couple of rookies learn on the job, and not something that’s going to be solved by rearranging a bunch of mediocre pieces like Ender, Camargo, etc.

I think I pretty much lit into the whole roster, and then the last hour of the game decided pache and contreas were the problem haha

I really do think ender would make this team better right now. I think the FO has to consider the mental part of pache being basically a pitcher at the plate right now. Let em go down and get to feeling better about himself.

Damn I like this post. I hate that the young guys have made it fair to criticize them. Watching them grow in the minors they've always adjusted and held their own. Of course it's the major leagues...they gotta get going. I really don't want to see Ender...but guess we will shortly.
