GDT: 9/6/14 Braves (Wood) at Marlins (Eovaldi )

Should have a minimum 2 more runs.

Tough game to drop if we lose this one.
 
Fredi is a joke, he brings Pena in for defense but puts him at second which is his weakest position. Pena is strong at third and Gosselin is good at both third and second. So if want the strongest defense you switch Pena to third and move Gosselin to second. Both are strongest at those spots.

We had a payroll crunch after 2003. Our payroll in 04 was the same at 06. And we sucked because our pitching started sucking, and then our youth system didn't really can out. Only Mac and KJ wound up doing anything from the Baby Braves. We coincidentally got good when the new wave of young pitching started and Jason came up to get the lineup younger.

Let's compare ourselves to the Brewers and Giants.

In terms of name players Braves have all the guys I listed above, Jason, Justin, Freddie, Gattis, Simmons, Wood, Minor, Julio, Kimbrel, and Santana. Brewers have LuCroy, Gomez, Aramis, Davis, Garza, Lohse, and Gallardo. Giants have Pence, Posey, Sandoval, Bumgarner, and Hudson. We should be killing them both. Should being the operative word.

Payroll crunch yes but we were still in top 10 between 04 and 06.

By 2010 we'd fallen off to middle of the pack and we entered this year at 14th overall.

One could argue it's harder to crunch then to maintain. At least there is an expectation.
 
I come home to see this... come on Walden. Freaking Gattis not at least getting a sac-fly kills us. Just put an the ball into play.
 
Argue with me all you want, but this team doesn't care. They don't. Great stuff Alex, it's good to see your team cares enough. Gattis is an idiot. Bases loaded, given an easy opportunity, then freaking Walden can't do anything... not that I'm surprised, since the dude has barely pitched for no reason.
 
As I type this the obligatory Jordan Walden wild pitch. But again this is on the offense, 2nd and 3rd one out and chance to add on, nothing. Bases loaded 1 out in the 7th nothing. Offense loses another one.
