4/25 GDT vs Red Sox: LOL Freddy

[Braves1976]

After all the nonsense times I've seen them challenge... this team is run by morons.

Yep, we are morons when it comes to deciding what to challenge and what not. No doubt about it anymore. Track record of shock is telling.

 

[Garmel]

Fredi has no business running a team. How the hell do you not challenge that?

 

[Braves1976]

Does anyone know who watches the replays for the Braves now that Horacio is gone?

No, but I know Fredi has a say on what to do with the information too just because he is the manager. For example, TB manager would challenge almost anything close just in case and I mean almost anything. I am not saying we need to go as far as he does but what we do is moronic.

Nice start for Teheran.

Blind Willie McTell.

"You can make an argument that we are a team that could actually win more games with Aybar," Coppolella said.

When the Braves issued a challenge in yesterday's 8th, it seemed like they didn't want to pocket one. Tonight's play was much closer.

Yea and he also assured us Aybar was a considerable better hitter and even Bowman didn't buy that nonsense and the only thing Bowman knows well is food.

At least we get to see Kimbrel at the Ted again

You can make an argument that we are a team.

Coming into tonight, Aybar had a -1.1 fWAR. That is 196th out of 196 qualifiers. Averaged 2.3 fWAR over the past 3 years. That's an epic drop-off so far.

The only drop-off I can remember in that neighborhood is B.J. Upton after we signed him.

Quad A scrub. Watch 2 fastballs down the middle and then swing at one out of the zone.

I don't think Braves fans need Sabermetrics to know that Aybar sucks epically.

Uggla was pretty bad too

The real takeaway is, how has Bowman still not changed his twitter profile picture?

I mean, at some point he had to actively choose this image. He thought to himself, "This is good. People will enjoy looking at this."

And right on que Garcia swings at everything.

No sh*t

There were a lot of signs the last few years that Aybar defense was in decline and obviously he had a poor offensive year again too which suggests a decline in both offense and defense. That combined with him making 8 million (6 of which we pay) made us insisting on him in a trade stupid and worse the spin we made of it. We won't be able to trade him without eating money without a big turnaround on at least offense. It ain't happening IMO.

To sum it up, it's a waste of 6 million when you do better with Castro and using half of that money to sign someone like Freese for third. Then you could trade Freese potentially for something good at the deadline too.

Ha, I challenge anyone to come up with a more respectable picture of Bowman than this. I'm afraid this is as good as it gets.

I have reason to believe he lost a bet.
