    GDT 8-1: Braves at Reds; Marcell's 5th Straight Game

    Womp, womp. 1 loss closer to No. 1 overall pick I guess.

    Drake has been red hot down in Augusta. The season line is not super impressive, but the last 3 weeks he's been tearing the cover off the ball. He's a plus defender too.

    He speaks about being respectful to these players and it not being fair..... Overlooking the fact that these guys are professionals and they are paid to deal with it, that is rich coming from AA. This is coming from the same guy that DFA'd Culberson right before Father's day when his dad was...

    GDT 8-1: Braves at Reds; Marcell's 5th Straight Game

    At this point, might as well protect Murphy as much as we can so he can maintain his trade value for the off-season. The last thing we need is for a major injury to Murphy or a 3-32 spell and have his OPS drop 100 points. Although, I have zero confidence AA will actually do the smart thing and...

    AA seems to get off on being the smartest man in the room. Every time he makes a shrewd deal and it succeeds, it feeds his ego even more. But here's the thing. AA would get so much more praise if he just went for it and stopped trying to be the smartest guy in the room. Trying to be the...

    Iggy and Ozuna alone have around 10m remaining on the deals, that doesn't count any other players we could have traded like Pierce, Bummer, Murphy, or Profar (hey I can dream right?) . You're telling me the potential difference in ticket sales and overall Battery traffic is greater than the 10m...

    I might feel different if AA wasn't continuing to allow this buffoon to manage this team. If they weren't actively putting the health of our best players at risk. If they didn't knowingly tank all the value Ozuna and Iggy had in the weeks leading up to the deadline. It's just malpractice at...

    I'm not interested in anything AA ever has to say again, unless it's "I'm stepping down as GM."

    So the view they are spinning is that they are trying to protect attendance (and therefore dollars) by not selling off of better players.... When we would save around 10 million (or more) from by dumping their remaining salaries. They really think we are stupid.

    He thinks we're all stupid. That's why he makes those comments.

    We literally found guys like Grant Holmes and Tyler Matzek off the scrap heap. You're telling me they can't identify a couple of young, intriguing BP guys sitting in AAA somewhere? I mean hell, we gave up Victor Vodnik for Piece Johnson who had a 4+ career ERA. It's a slap in the face to all...

    Jordan effing Montgomery was able to get traded with Shelby Miller, who is on the IL. But somehow Ozuna and Iggy just couldn't bring anything back..... I would respect AA more if he came and said he thought we still have a shot with guys getting healthy. But this level of ineptitude is beyond...
