I'm pretty sure Georgia state intends to repurpose Turner into their own football stadium so I'm curious to see how much they actually change

Not saying you're wrong but what's he supposed to say. "We would love to extend Heyward long term like the other 4 extensions we've given out this week but he would rather sign a short term deal and hit free agency". He's not going to bad mouth one of his best players

As much as I love Heyward when I take off my homer glasses his numbers aren't that great. Last year in a full healthy season he hit .271/.351/.384 with 11 hrs 58 RBI and 20 sb Other comparable seasons from young defensive outfielders with potential 2008 BJ Upton. .273/.383/.401 with 9 hrs 67...

When I asked Hart if there had been any recent negotiations with Heyward about an extension, Hart gave the impression that there hadn’t been any further talks since last offseason. “He wanted a two-year deal and wasn’t interested in a long-term extension unless the dollars were maybe beyond...

Is it crazy to think that we could resign Heyward after next season. If we could dump some of BJs contract and CJs plus no more is owed to Uggla. And being one year closer to a new stadium. He obviously wants to be in Atlanta and if him and Hart patch things up I could see it happening. Even...

Didn't see it posted here but Kimbrel wins the first ever Trevor Hoffman award for best NL reliever. Congrats to Craig! http://m.mlb.com/news/article/99296932/royals-greg-holland-braves-craig-kimbrel-win-reliever-of-the-year-awards

This team had arguably the worst offense in baseball last year and overall pitching in the top 5 of baseball. Yet this article only talks about how we need pitching. We are hurting bad for offensively capable players. If we trade one of Heyward or Upton for pitching it doesn't really matter...

TV guys confirmed that he wasn't "busting it" out of the box. At least Uggla always hustled BJ acts like he could care less that he sucks

Just reading the boards it seems like there are more than a few people who are wanting to trade Gattis this off season. He has been injured quite a bit this year and it doesn't seem like he has been as good as last year. But when I looked at the stats in roughly the same amount of games played...

I like La Stella but I don't think he provides much value as an everyday player at the major leagues. He doesn't hit for power, doesn't have good speed and isn't a great fielder. His only real value comes from average and ability to get on base. When he first came up he was very selective and...

Agreed. Makes me wonder if he was running hard out of the box or if he slowed down thinking it was a sure out.

Yes I'm pretty sure this already exists. I think some website actually keeps stats on umpires. It shows length of games, runs per game, and pitches per inning for every umpire when they are behind the plate

I think our problem is the lack of timely hitting. We are leaving tons of men on base so it has nothing to do with the OBP if none of them are being knocked in anyways. We just can't seem to string together hits and score multiple runs without a home run. And since we haven't been hitting any...

A Heyward home run for the cycle and the win would be a good finish to a terrible series

I think a guy with an outside chance is Mark Buehrle. He is at 196 wins and is only 35 (I feel like he's been around forever) but he has pitching style that could be successful in to his early 40's if he stays healthy. 8 more seasons around 13 wins and he makes it. That's not too much of a...

I don't think we will see it happen anytime soon. To reach 300 wins a pitcher has to average 15 wins a season for 20 years. Too many pitchers today are getting injured and missing time and realistically if a pitcher misses a season or two that almost ends their chances to make it. Hernandez is...

While I agree with you that we really need more on offense how would you suggest we do it. We have so many players underachieving at the plate right now that you would except them to break out at sometime. Who do we replace on offense to get better? We couldn't get rid of BJ and maybe we could...

I don't really understand why we would need to bring Bethancourt up to do this. I don't think he would be much better offensively than Laird and we always have Doumit to be a third catcher if needed. Why can't they just sit BJ start Laird and put Gattis in left? Accomplishes the same thing and...

I think we should go for it. As long as we don't give up Wood, Teheran, or any of our good young position players. I mean it could deplete our system but I think we have so many good young players in the majors already that we don't need a deep system right now. We are set at 6 of the 8...

Braves Line-UP 1. La Stella 2B 2. Pena SS 3. Freeman 1B 4. Gattis C 5. Heyward RF 6. Johnson 3B 7. Doumit LF 8. Schafer CF 9. Harang P No Justin, BJ, or Simmons but at least La Stella is batting higher in the line-up and Heyward in the 5 Spot... Will post the Phillies line-up as soon...
