This team is like a M*A*S*H unit this year. I can't recall a team with so many season ending injuries, DL trips, nagging injuries and just general abuse as these Braves. I really hope Heyward isn't hurt too bad or out too long. How are they winning with all these injuries. Man, I hope this...

Every year there's always one 'bad' team that the Braves just cannot beat. Used to be the Marlins all the time. Then it was the Nationals before they became the 'annointed ones' in 2012. Now, the Mets aren't as terrible as years past (blast their high draft picks on pitchers...) but on paper...

Man, I feel bad for the guy. Now that he is looking for work, again, what does he have to console himself except his millions in the bank, his large, probably mortgage free home, attractive wife, lot of cars, good looks, and he can officially retire at the ripe old age of what, 29?! Not like he...

Haven't the Braves had to overcome the same problem plus 6 season ending injuries to important or contributing players? Just saying...

Most of the Cuban players come across like that. Language barrier, their culture, machismo, whatever the factors are, Cuban players are stereotyped as bad teammates. Unfortunately for some, they earn the rep honestly.

[/B] Yeah, wouldn't want to bruise the ballplayer's fragile egos...:roll:

1. Great win, especially considering the 'B' team was in! 2. Teheran is really learning how to pitch rather than just throw. 3. Could have swept them this weekend; hope Soriano continues having blown saves. 4. Great that we can savor this win tonight as well as tomorrow. 5. Sorry for the...

Gattis is a shadow of his former self. Hard hit balls with no luck, more strikeouts, fewer homers...Needs to make the next round of adjustments.

With the line-up posted today? Hopefully a full blown rain-out! Make the game up when we're ready to put our ML team out there not the AAA team! Poor Teheran better be thinking shutout...

Just got in to see the score and Varvaro pitching in the 2nd! I didn't know they were going to activate and start Maholm today....

IF I didn't HATE the Nats so much and IF I didn't dislike most twenty something year olds and IF he didn't run his mouth sometimes half-cocked, I'd probably not want him hit. IMO, Ian Desmond is much more frustrating and deserving...

Evan Gattis, second baseman :winking0016:

More important, relevant matters: anyone hear what 'good' second basemen have been made available for waiver wire deals that the Braves might actually be able to snatch?

You would too if you had to have coached that team in that city...

What's the major league record for most players on the DL in a season? How about most roster players with season-ending injuries in one season? 2013 Braves have to be close to beating that record if they haven't already. Need a frikkin' doctor's office in the clubhouse this year....:mad0182:

This! Other than a trade, that can be the only reason to have a Gosselin/ Janish platoon. It will actually have fans forgetting the old Uggla's struggles and counting the seconds until the new, Lasiked version returns. One question, though. Will that sick 2B platoon still have better hitting...

Ah, Unicorn McRainbowland...I remember it well. Was a super duper nice place before being trampled and destroyed by a waste management corporation needing more land. Shame what they did to all those bunnies. Money. Guess it really is what makes me hate pro sports sometimes. But with this...

Well said. Money cannot buy everything but the numbers these athletes make can set their lives up quite comfortably forever. When did it become all about the money and just accepted to be OK to be so?

Pro athletes with the big contracts (7 digits per year kind) don't live in the 'real world'. Outside of tragedies to their family members, illnesses, etc. they don't face problems with mortgages, car payments or having to buy off the dollar menu at McDonald's. They live in gated communities with...

I am bracing for the worst. Signing McCann long term is like signing an aging pitcher; both will probably decline significantly before the end of their contract. And I hesitate using Glavine as an example because he was Union-first, take the biggest contract available to prove a point. Atlanta's...
