That struck me as strange also. Freddie…of course the Dodgers were talking to you all the time(they wanted to sign you). Such a strange vibe. It’s like he wanted this validation that a guy that won a MVP and WS shouldn’t need. Strange.
The Braves not only being out, but also signing Olson to a reasonable deal can not “help” his market in any way. I really think his agent mucked things up.
It’s simple. Freddie wants every penny and as many years as he can get. His agent probably thought he could hold the Braves ransom, because of how popular Freddie has become…he gambled and lost. AA probably felt there was at least a decent chance that he could be stuck with no one. He pulled the...
The Freeman contract feels similar to when St. Louis let Albert walk. He got ungodly money….had a few more great years and then declined drastically. I really hope they sign Freddie back, but at the same time….I hope Freddie doesn’t just squeeze them for every penny. Granted, they should pay him...
This will definitely be an interesting year. The pressure will be off AA a little because…well…he’s won a championship.
We have a ton of rule 5 eligible guys, so my bet would be us making a decently large trade.
As much as I love the guys we picked up…AA successfully caught lighting in a...
I just can’t get over how this team turned it around. Not so long ago, it felt like there was no way the team would get above .500.
There seemed to be yet another player IL stint every other game.
Will Smith couldn’t pitch without giving up one dinger per inning…and then he’s just been lights...
I feel like we are past due for the offense to explode. If we can put a few runs up early…Astros “may” fold. I think the Braves will come out loose tonight. Failing to win close back to back games will wear on you mentally. Just ask the 96 Braves…who were in a much better position than the...
And throwing 20 pitches a day is nothing like throwing five innings. If anything, just keeps them sharp. That really isn’t enough pitches to wear down a pitcher (unless you did this for two straight months).
This year (no matter what happens)…is the craziest crap I’ve ever seen as a Braves fan. To think of all those incredible teams through the years that could not bring it home.This one might just have “it” those other didn’t.
I would have sold at the deadline. Obviously I’m an idiot. If you have...
I’ll admit it. I thought we should wave the white flag and trade Morton. Thought there was literally NO chance this team could even sniff the playoffs. AA did an excellent job of risking very little yet still adding some very important pieces. It’s quite the accomplishment to win after the body...
