Wisler in Coors Field has lol written all over it.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Wisler down.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Jesus Wisler. Dude literally just turns into trash.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Is it just me, or is there always weather issues when the Braves visit Denver?

Guess Coppy wasnt wrong.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Is it just me, or is there always weather issues when the Braves visit Denver?

Yeah there is. When I lived out west I went every season and I think there was only one year since 2012 there wasn't a weather issue.

 

[USMA76]

Yeah there is. When I lived out west I went every season and I think there was only one year since 2012 there wasn't a weather issue.

Didn't we play an early season game a couple of years ago in Denver with a temperature in the 20s?

Something close to that anyway, didn't Julio pitch that game as well? Could be misremembering that part.

Yeah believe it was the third week in April. I didn't attend the cold cold game, but there were snow flurries if I remember.

I looked it up and the game was April 23, 2013 and the temperature at first pitch was 23 degrees...insane.

Nice job tracking it down. And I wasn't crazy, it was Julio pitching an awesome game, going 7 IP and giving up 1 run to get the win.

Time really does fly. It seems like just yesterday Wisler was severely underwhelming me, and here his spot is up again.

Wisler pitching in Coors is basically a bad train wreck waiting to happen. On the positive side of the equation the Reds and the Twins and Rays are currently winning, so we have that going for us.

I think I remember the crew saying it was the first time Julion had seen snow.

 

[thewupk]

Wisner just isn't a good pitcher.

 

[The Tariff King]

You have to give credit to Coppy and Co.

They've constructed the team to be full of players that are doing what's needed to help us achieve the #1 pick next year. This is all part of the blueprint.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Welp. Another Colorado long ball.

 

[The Tariff King]

Glad to see Evan Gattis is doing better.

Last season, the total destruction of the Braves in Colorado led to the selloff for the remainder of the season. It should have the same impact in 2106. If Teheran and Freeman remain untradeable, fine, but every other tradeable player needs to be shipped out for whatever can be obtained.

Get some of the young players up here and get on with it. We know realistically we can't start all of the free agency clocks at the same time; it would become an impossible situation when free agency loomed.
