    Swanson getting the call...

    I can't help wondering what might have been if Julio hadn't been out of MLB from '98-'00. He was mediocre with MIL in '97, to finish the season, but someone should have picked him up before we rescued him from the Mexican League in 2001. I doubt he would have reached 3000 hits, but he might...

    Upgrading announcers?

    Years ago, the TV and radio teams would swap in the middle of the 5th inning. That gave us a chance to hear all of them during the game. I would not mind returning to that format.

    Swanson getting the call...

    I think it is stupid to bring him up now, but I am excited to see him in Atlanta. I laughed when Dansby said he looked forward to playing in Turner Field one day, but he proved me wrong. I wish him a great six weeks to end the season.

    What to Make of Chad Rogers? (Reds Farmhand) I've Heard Nothing other than this....

    In 2000, we drafted John Rogers, RHP, in the 13th round. He only played in 14 minor league games before retiring in 2001.

    You get two FA signings and as many call-ups as you want; 2017 Lineup - Go

    I see a lot of lineups with Swanson included. I am as anxious as anyone to see him play in Atlanta, but given his .258/.334/.413 line in AA, will he realistically be ready by opening day 2017? I doubt it, but I hope I am wrong. He looks more like a mid/late-season call-up to me.

    Which recently traded Brave is your most missed?

    Simmons, without a doubt, is the player I miss most. He made plays for us that Ozzie Smith only wishes he could have made.

    On what planet and in what way is Hillary Clinton even remotely conservative?

    GDT braces vs mets

    Show the frame where D'Arnaud's knee is down before he caught the ball. The plate was clearly blocked. The call was blown and then reblown. At least Adonis saved the night...so far.

    Replay THAT!! Adonis goes DEEP!

    GDT braces vs mets

    That replay call was inexcusable. Bonifacio was safe anyway, but the plate was clearly blocked before the catcher had the ball. If the replay reviewers in NY don't care about getting the call right, the whole thing should be scrapped. In NY, getting the call right took a backseat to helping...

    DRAFT IN PROGRESS THREAD ... What's past is preamble

    Exactly! Unless we'll be going with a 10-man rotation in 2019 or whenever we plan to be competitive, this pick makes no sense. We can't win games without scoring runs.

    5/25 Braves seeking runs, any kind of runs, vs Brewers

    Can't we release Aybar and move on? He's awful.

    Strike zone change

    I don't mind the strike zone change, but I don't like the intentional walk rule at all. Too many crazy things can happen once the ball leaves the pitcher's hand for me to go for this.

    GDT 4/3 braves vs mets

    Please, Fredi, leave Wisler in. How often in his career will he throw a one-hit shutout? He deserves a chance to finish this one.

    8TH DARKEST DAY: HOW NOT TO TRADE AN ICON

    Here's a great video of Murph telling the story of when Glavine tried to bean him with a 40 mph changeup in '91.

    Bob Horner

    August 12, 1984. Take me out to the brawl game. I was 9 and I remember that game as much as any other in my nearly 35 years as a Braves fan. Before the last out was recorded, 9 players, including 4 pitchers, were ejected along with both managers and replacement managers. Several fans were...

    GDT Nats Braves 4/12

    Why don't we hit Harper every time he's up and move on? He hits us plenty.
