I just can't believe it. You've got two unexpected guys who are going, a chance to keep building momentum with them, and you pick a dead guy off the waiver wire and put him in the lineup. 1. What kind of ****ing idiot plays him; 2. What kind of ****ing idiot picks him up?

Hey, in the AJC today, Kelenic says he knows what he's capable of doing. I think I do, too.

On what planet do you pull Verdugo right now?

Probably not. But it didn't help.

Actually, they went further disciplining Kelenic than they did Acuña. They fired his ass. Prediction: Jarred Kelenic never takes another ML at bat in a Braves uniform.

That's the comp I was thinking about. We overpaid Morton for four years to be a consistent and stabilizing influence in the rotation, why not do the same at a lower level for Robertson in the pen? And Robertson hasn't lost much. He could handle some high leverage innings.

That'd be a great pickup. Don't know why we're not making that call this morning.

Rosario means nothing in this transaction. He's just another swinging d*ck. The point was that this is the end of the amazing and profoundly meaningful Kelenic era.

He appears to specialize in SSS sub-2.00 ERAs.

Have you ever been in a dugout when one of your teammates or players connects and it might go out and not looked at it?

Serious question, then. He had an adequate fastball and a really good change and made it work through 2+ seasons and has an incredible postseason record despite a near-unanimous opinion here that his stuff is trash. You don't have to spin a spike curve. In fact, lower is better. You have to...

Mark Bowman has lost eight pounds on Ozempic.

He was poorly scouted and overrated. Doesn't even seem like a Braves pick. Should have been one of the stupid teams that falls in love with the radar gun. He can't find home plate and never will. Spin rates and velo don't matter with 35 command.

I love the way he ****s all over the guy and then at the end for the money shot it's oh yeah, had a 2.38 ERA and a near 30% K rate over 80 innings.

I would like Castillo from the Mariners. But we'd have to come up with a deal that didn't include Kelenic, they had enough of his **** out there.
