Look at the bright side (besides getting all of these guys back healthy): after this ridiculous year full of injuries, karma alone dictates that we should only have 2 players total on the 15-day DL next year. Baseball gods, are you listening? We've had 2 years worth of injuries this season alone...

He helped by winning some games this year but the only thing Maholm should be doing during the play-offs is help the other guys carry their bags to their rooms for away games.

OK, then let's see more spending for the team with these increased profits. Why can't the team be able to re-sign a fan-favorite, possible lifetime catcher to a reasonable and fair contract for both sides as well as make long term investments in Kimbrel, Heyward, Freeman, Simmons, Minor and our...

They are. New luxury cars, mansions, yachts, real estate, wining and dining. Maybe even a nickel or two to their shareholders... ...oh, you mean spend a bit more on the Braves baseball team!! I bet that thought never crossed their minds...

Hot and cold team. Both professional sports teams in Atlanta failed embarrassingly today (thanks, Failcons). They each personally made this weekend suck. Hope the Braves are hot when the play-offs start because, if so, they can look unstoppable! If they're cold and flat like this weekend vs. the...

Oh God, why did I start reading this thread right now?!? I have to try to eat lunch now with that picture in my mind!! :mad0182:

Please just let him end up in the AL. Not only because some team over there would also want him as a DH BUT so that he won't be able to revive his career, play Atlanta several times and beat them like many ex-Braves do (thankfully, not as many in recent years)! The thought of Struggla...

At least Heyward didn't take an arrow to the knee... And per FO:NV, Niese better remember that baseballs bats can be upgraded with maple bodies, cork cores and NAILS!!

And like always, ESPN gives the Braves NO respect. I checked GameDay and they aren't even posting stats for the game! Lousy jerks! Guess the rainout just makes them ignore Atlanta even more. Hate that Nats are going to gain a game on us, though; this race is getting too close for comfort!

Gonna be real funny, though, if the Nats lose today and our magic number still goes down by one even with throwing the sacrificial lamb...I mean, Loe...out there today. I'm not going to be able to see a bit of this game and I don't care! Accept it as an automatic loss and be real happy if the...

But, but I thought the Nats were starting a historic run to make it close...?

See where Wood resembled his alma mater Sunday and the Nats won in Primetime (bonus points for winning on the Every Sportscaster Praises Nationals network). Does that mean they've tied us for the NL East lead??

Just one more time in my lifetime would I beg for the Braves to win the World Series so I could watch the ESPN nitwits' heads explode!! Shove it right up their a$$!!!!

If he turns out that good, gonna be fun to watch him in a Yankees, Dodgers, Philthies or BoSox uniform in a few years.

162 game season is often a war of attrition. Braves are especially seeing it with all the injuries and fatigue. I like this team a lot (heck of a lot more with Heyward playing) but really wish they were able to get another bat or bullpen arm. I hate the waiver wire rules; wish there were some...

They did it so message boards could argue and discuss the rules of playoff eligibility before Sept. 1! And Costanza called up sucks. That means that the brilliance of the 'waiver wire' prevented the Braves from getting another bat or bullpen arm. Many of the other teams got better while the...

An annoying thing is when (not if) Braves clinch the East, they'll ease up. Then the Nats will gain some ground and the final standings will make some deluded Nats fans talk during the offseason like it was actually a close race when it hasn't been. As to them making the playoffs, I'd rather...

Agreed. And with this waiver wire mess, I'm afraid every Brave playing in the post season is already on the roster. I highly doubt there will be a trade today for another bat or RP. Guess we'd better hope that Heyward can return and Uggla and BJ get it together these last few weeks!

I believe Orel should take young Wood under his wing...

Here's my question(s): If Heyward doesn't return, do the Braves need another bat to replace his production? I say 'yes' because I don't see Uggla or BJ suddenly turning it around the last month. If Heyward does return at least by the play-offs and is closer to form than some think, do the...
