Medlen with a great outing. He had great movement on all his pitches and has looked like the guy that was so good last year. FF is just a monster and he is as deserving of the NL MVP as anyone else as of right now. Would like to of seen more runs scored but like Paul Byrd said I would rather the...

http://www.grantland.com/blog/the-triangle/post/_/id/74452/atlanta-braves-shortstop-andrelton-simmons-will-challenge-your-metaphysical-beliefs Sorry if this was posted somewhere but I didn't see it. Obviously everyone is taking notice of just how great of a SS we have here in Atlanta.

Justin is nothing like his brother. Justin has routinely put up OPS' of 800+ and this is the first season he has been streaky at the plate. If you look at his numbers from years previous he's been pretty consistent every month. If this is J-UP's down year then I'll take it and he's shown that he...

Well if you've seen my posts then you know how much i dislike BJ and Uggla. The Uggla trade/signing at the time wasn't a bad move because he put up good to really good numbers especially for a 2b but BJ Upton has been one of the most over rated players. To give a guy who can't get near .800 OPS...

As I stated I said I know it won't happen but with the past couple of years it's hard not to believe that it can't happen. I see everyone is blaming Freddi and Ayala but no one is blaming Walden? Why? Checking the stats it seems he was worse than Ayala and he's the reason we blew this game. So...

I'm not going to bet against my team I can't do that but obviously you haven't watched the Braves for the past 12 years.

Just got off work and saw where we lost....AGAIN! This is getting ridiculous. We have an easy schedule yet we can't win these games and sew up the division. I have a hard time believing the Nats will catch us but damn its only a 10 game lead when it was like 15 last week. After the past 2-3...

lol yeah I will admit being wrong on this but Gattis does swing at every pitch he see's but I still stand by on everything else I wrote. Bj still sucks and we still have an inconsistent line up. This is why I'm plugging La Stella so much. We need more guys who are consistent not a bunch if guys...

I'm at work and haven't seen the game but Hale's stats look impressive. Hope to see more starts from the guy and should be ahead of Kameron Loe which I stated when they brought up Loe.

I say we bench BJ and Dan for the rest of the season and hope they become disgruntled and want to get traded/released. We can then proceed to tell ok we will release/trade you but you will owe us half of what you are making because no one will take you at the price you are paid for your...

Great job BJ and Dan...and you wonder why this offense is so inconsistent? We have three outs with Uggla,Bj and the pitcher...should have scored here but no just the typical strike out with men on for BJ and Dan, what's new? This is f'ing terrible...

I never want to see Uggla play again the dude is trash. Please FW call La Stella up...why did Pastor have to get hurt???UGHHHHH

There is no need to platoon La Stella. While his power may not be as great against lefties which is only a small sample size of 75 AB's you fail to mention the guy hit .338 with a .388 OBP. It just amazes me how many people on this board want to sell La Stella short yet I can't remember a...

Yeah that was incredible. I haven't given up on Salcedo just yet though my expectations for him aren't as high from when we first signed him. I do think he has another 2 seasons to see if he can get it figured out but after that then it's pretty much a done deal and what you see is what you get...

Exactly...who are they asking? Let me guess the same one's who voted for Obama because he was.... Oh nevermind.

Rico, have you seen La Stella play defense? I know the consensus is that he's not that great defensively but is it on par with Uggla or is it so bad that Uggla looks like a GG next to him? I mean the guy is young and scouts have said the same for many players and yet they improved if they work...

La Stella is so nasty. Hopefully the injuries he's had are just some bad luck and something that won't be consistent because I think he's going to be a great 2B for us sooner than later.

As much as I love Mac I just can't see us signing him long term when we have so many young guys we will have to give contracts. Will we re-sign them all? I seriously doubt it but at the same time we do have quite of bit of money coming off the books in the next two years. To me FF,Heyward and...

No doubt I would make that trade any day but to see we just flat out robbed Arizona isn't the case. Both teams got exactly what they wanted and we have a great young player who should only get better. Still, to limit Prado to just his numbers is undervaluing the guy. He was such a fiery...

As you can see I completely agree. His numbers are very impressive and what else does the guy have to prove? He's everything Uggla is not and exactly what we need in this line up. How do we get rid of Uggla is the question? I'd hate to leave La Stella in AAA while he's proven that he's pretty...
