I'm calling it, the Braves are under the curse of the world series. We traded all of our luck of every kind in the future for one miraculous run. It's the only explanation for what has occurred over the past few seasons.

Iglesias might be the single most damaging player to this season's hopes. So many times when this team has actually fought to win a game, this loser has come in and pissed it away. This team has suffered from a lack of energy and it's gotta be hard to keep the intensity up when Iglesias is out...

If no one wants Iglesias at the deadline, I'd DFA him. Dude is worthless.

I'm with you. Holmes is cheap, durable, and not terrible. He's a perfect back end starter and there's zero reason to open a hole in the roster by trading him. You always listen on every player in case someone offers you something stupid but that's not likely. No reason to open a hole in the...

Before the hip injury, Ozuna was hitting well and hit very well last year. A team with little payroll flexibility might be willing to gamble on him returning to pre-injury form. If he does then he's an impact bat. So there will be interest. Not sure there will be enough to make us willing to pay...

Problem with hiring a new GM is Morris. Blank loves Morris like a son. It's almost awkward how much Blank loves the guy. I don't see Morris getting fired anytime soon in spite of the fact that he's never been successful as a HC. If we keep Morris as HC, that causes problems. No highly respected...

True. But you can work on developing pitches and strength training. You can't coach 6-8.

I like Baumann. Huge pitchers are fun to watch and Baumann keeps the ball in the zone.

More likely explanation is our staff thinks we can still compete. Poor delusional fools.

Kind of an ugly win tonight. Game felt closer than it should have.

Cy's mom?

McKay has his fingerprints on a lot of the most disastrous decisions the Falcons have made in recent years. I have no doubt he campaigned against TD and pushed for TF who would be in McKay's camp. The Falcons had zeroed in on AS before hiring TF so you know McKay had his hands on that. Then...

Don't expect major changes on in game decisions regardless of who is managing. I don't believe Snit has free reign to make in game calls. I have no doubt AA has set certain decisions based on what out advanced stat people say.

The only trade piece we have that anyone would be at all interested in is Murphy. I'm not sure we find a team willing to spend a roster spot on the likes of Iglesias. Honestly we shouldn't be spending a roster spot on him either.

I didn't want Belicheck either. I thought there were younger, better options out there. But front office politics left us with a guy who is miles worse than even an ancient Belicheck. A guy who has already been a failure as a head coach twice. It's why we'll never be a consistent contender until...

A rapid rise up draft boards due to recent results is literally the definition of helium. Helium isn't good or bad. Sometimes the helium is justified, sometimes it's fools gold. Tate benefited from helium at the right time. Maybe it's real and he's a star. Maybe it's not and he's a stat...

Regardless of whether Tate was a good pick, the Braves are suckers for helium. They bit hard on Murphy's velocity bump before they took him. That looks to have an outlier. Murphy might turn out to be a good pitcher but there's no way he's a first rounder if teams knew his velocity was going to...

Mediocrity is lethal in the NFL. It keeps bad coaches and GMs and costs you elite draft position. It has a way of sustaining itself too. Unable to achieve more, too much talent to achieve less. Keeping Fontenot after firing AS was inexcusable. Dude isn't a GM. That led to hiring Morris, a multi...

I have a sinking feeling about the Falcons situation. I'm afraid Penix will be excellent but even so won't be able to fully overcome the limitations of an incompetent coaching staff. I'm afraid Penix will be good enough to get the Falcons into the wild card round consistently which will keep...

All I can think is guys who left the game early had hit the showers or cooled off to the point of risking injury because this makes no sense.
