GDT 4/30/15 ATL vs CIN

[50PoundHead]

Donnie Veal here yet?

 

[Julio3000]

Veal in.

Cornely has got to be, like, WTF mane?

 

[Braves1976]

Fredi brings in the lefty Veal with three straight righties due up? LOL!

Oh wait, I forgot Bruce was due up second. My mistake there. But either way you'd think he'd be used by mostly lefties.

 

[50PoundHead]

Auspicious debut.

 

[Julio3000]

Jace caught a laser for the 1st out.

 

[Braves1976]

Veal in.

Veal is a vet, already with MLB experience. Fredi likes vets but not rookies.

 

[Braves1976]

Jace caught a laser for the 1st out.

Yep, Veal looks bad vs both righties and lefties so far.

Fun to watch

I'm ready for the EY experiment to end.

The bullpen is a mess, the back end of our rotation is a joke, and there is no way this offense will keep up their current pace. This is a bad, bad baseball team.

 

[50PoundHead]

Span twice in that series and now Hamilton? Sheesh.

This is kind of what rock bottom looks like, methinks.

Front end not much better. That's a key problem.

Concerning that they're not calling the CJ injury day-to-day . . .

Injury Update: Chris Johnson left tonight’s game with a left hand injury and will be further evaluated on Friday.

Re-building years are fine in theory, but man, a re-building season in MLB is an interminable thing. We have 140 more games of this.

And another season after that.

We might as well consider any year Fredi manages as re-building because even if we have a playoff team we might not get in, but if we do, we won't go far.

I really think we'll be on the come-up in 2016. Whether that trajectory will put us in contention remains to be seen, but it ain't gonna look like this.

This is actually not that fun to watch.

The worst part is wasting prime years from Freeman, Simmons, Teheran, Wood, Miller, on wasted seasons

We have the core to be a playoff contender. And yet we're punting. Fans are right to find something else to do with their time and dollars. Btw I wonder how season ticket holders feel about what Hart told them. You know the conference call about payroll at least at last year's level.
