Spring Training Gamethread/Discussion

Obviously holding a lead against the best team in baseball is difficult to do. Can't fault the Braves.

And Garcia is worse than 2013 Maholm (and I bet he will be MUCH worse than 2014 Maholm).

Paul Maholm in his last 22 starts for the Braves pusted an ERA of 5.12 dude and the Braves still won 96 games. I honestly don't get the negatively some people have about everything Braves related. It must be a living nightmare to be a Braves fan since all you see is negatively everything. Try being positive for a change and give Freddy a chance. After what he did for the Braves last year, he deserves that.

Actually I'm pretty positive in regards to seven of our starting pitchers: Medlen, Minor, Beachy, Teheran, Wood, Floyd, Hale. We don't have an ace but a pretty good group of what would be called 2's and 3's and good depth. And I think one of them will take a step forward and establish himself as one of the top 20 starting pitchers in the majors, ie. an ace.
 
Unfortunately for some reason, everyone in baseball seems to have that crappy old guy that they let hang on too long. Garcia has no business pitching for the Braves, I'm sure he'll be replaced by July.

Highly doubt it, Maholm was a turd after his good start.

There are literally two or three things I am negative about in regards to the Braves. But that's all you and Heyward focus on. Fans are allowed to disagree on a few moves (even more than a few). It doesn't mean they are negative or hate the Braves. I will be rooting hard for Garcia once it is official. Until then, I will voice my misgivings.
 
Can't believe we are going to have to watch Uggla strikeout 50% of the time for a month.

I wasn't even talking to you. You're not mr. negativity about everything like Dalyn is.

He was fantastic at home. Our best starter there. Just a weird year for him.

He still gave up more hits than innings pitched at home and had a FIP of 3.53 at home compared to his ERA of 2.37. So that means he was extremely lucky in home games. 3.53 FIP is solid though.
 
Negativity and reasonable concern are two different things. Dalyn is no Niners. Sorry buddy (niners).

Garcia won't even come close to a 3.53 FIP. But go ahead and be negative if you want. That's okay.
