Different Wren, but still LOLOLOLOLOL!!

Hope Wren keeps this up all year. Seems like he could be a leadoff/CF option in the future.

 

[Enscheff]

LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!

Yup, Wren and his staff have done a great job the last two years restocking after so many promotions.

With viz coming in I still have a shot at the shutout ynot question

 

[nsacpi]

Hart was a disaster and an embarrassment to the organization. We will always have this black mark. I was 110% wrong about him.

And you are only 90% wrong about Wren's role in getting international talent.

 

[Enscheff]

The funniest one yet LOLOLOLOLOL!!

Yeah, I just don't get how Wren can be criticized for his handling of the farm system. Ownership just needs to open up the purse strings to keep the star players we have and then more complimentary help (sprinkled in with some potential impact players) is on the way real soon.

tehteh was the biggest Wren fan around...until he was the biggest Coppy fan around...until he was the biggest AA fan around.

Are you shocked I'm a homer for the Braves laundry?

No.

But it kills your credibility in these arguments

No.

The book is closed when a GM's career is over. And the story of Wren is one of a disaster. During the time when we were winning 90+ games (mostly attributable to talent that was in the organization prior to becoming GM) it was easy to say he did a good job.

Remember when you pimped how good of a GM Wren was?

It certainly was easy for you, then.

Ok. No credit for winningest team in baseball for a 5 year stretch.

No credit for Simmons, Gattis, Kimbrel, Wood, etc.

No credit for Albies, Acuna

Simmons/Gattis/Wood for sure. That was his scouting director. Credit for the great bullpens he put together. Credit for the Upton trade.

Did I miss anything?

The farm system was bottom 1-3 in baseball once he got fired, you gonna deny this?

 

[thewupk]

Great win. 1 more this weekend for a great road trip.

 

[Heyward]

Didnt expect to win this one, thought Sunday was our best chance to get one. Good win.

That tends to happen when players are promoted and you have the best collection of young talent at the MLB level.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

8-5. Not an easy schedule. Have to like the start.
