I'm down with it. I want to pay him. He deserves it but I want to keep him around. If he's cool with signing short contracts over and over.

I mean, Rockies took 2/3 from the Dodgers a couple weeks ago.

The Rockies aren't quite as horrible as they once were, but they're definitely not good.
Still, the Mets are legitimately a terrible team right now. Every indicator is bad. Hell, they're averaging like 3.5 runs a game...

It’s shaping up to be a fun year to watch the Braves. 20 wins and still have 40 games to go against a weak NL east.
The Phillies and Mets look bad. It may take both teams several years to rebuild enough to challenge for a division title

This is all without Schwelly, Strider, Murph and Kim. And Ritchie looked fantastic in his first start.
Just cross our fingers Methphy can stay healthy. Kim who knows since he injured his right hand, which is the pronating hand for his swing.

I would have used Suarez in the tie game last night. You know, use the best BP arm in a high leverage scenario. Standard leverage considerations.
Or is that too complicated for you to understand without me spelling it out?
So 5 times in 7 days? He'd be dead by June.

Bobby threw 17 on Sunday week ago.
Off Monday and Tuesday
8 pitches on wed
Off Thursday
17 on Friday.
He was fine to throw in the tie game. Bad call by WW.
But not that upset. Was nice to toss a struggling team a bone.

I was hoping he didn’t put him in.
That mound was deteriorating rapidly, and with our luck he would have slipped and ripped his back out or- worse. Long season ahead, and we are already down to one closer. We had Sale going against dead Nola today and should win that to take the series and ultimately gain ground. He made the right move I tend to think. It was a punt for sure, but that’s the point of a punt- live to fight another day.
WW knows more than me- as do all of y’all- but I think keeping Robért on the bench in that rain was 100% the correct play. I can’t imagine the bitching in here had he used him and an injury occurred….
What’s up with people just lying on the internet? Anyone with two brain cells would call BS on that wiithout knowing the exact date.
For the record, they got their 20th win on May 12th last year.

Yep, knew that was wrong. The Braves were actually in the middle of a very good 19-10 stretch at this time a year ago. Had it at 24-23. Then went 3-14, then went 10-4. Then the wheels came off completely. (11-26)

I would have used the good Suarez in game 2 too, but we cant change that. But with the options we had who do you go with to close out a 4 run lead in the 9th? There's only I would trust here and 2 pitched the previous night.

I mean, I’m not on either side of this really I don’t care one way or the other. But I posted his usage last week and if you wanna add last Saturday, he threw 14 pitches so he hadn’t been overworked at all.
