Gohara down 35 pounds

[CJ9]

He’s at the minor league facility in Lake Buena Vista, per Anthopoulos at the GM meetings.

Do we have our first “best shape of my life” in November?

Great... he put down the fork and alcohol in favor of meth

Big misunderstanding. He really said Gohard downed 35 pounds.

 

[CyYoung31]

Yuge.

I know we are making fun, but Gohara actually being in shape is a very big deal for us. He could be legitimate TOR ace. He certainly has shown big time potential..

Gohara's conditioning tanked after a devastating off-season for him personally. Seen him get back in shape is a really good thing. His lack of conditioning this year really hurt him.

I have reason to believe someone said “hotdogs”?

It's a dog-eat-dog food world. And just remember, two out of three ain't bad, it's 66.666. . .%.

Good for him! Conditioning is really Gohara's only real issue... could be yuge.

I think this very possibly a legit much better shape story. I mean think about what he went through as a young guy barely in his 20s... a parent dies out of nowhere and another gets extremely ill.... you are dealing with an injury. I can't even imagine that happening in my 20-25 age range... I would have been lost and not cares about a damn thing for a good long while. I think there was a lot of unfair criticism on him when you really stop and think about it

When you think about it, a Gohara rebound could turn out to be the biggest break the Braves have had in quite a while. For all Bowman's recent poormouthing the pitching prospects, Gohara is by far at the top of the list of ones who could legitimately be an in-house TOR guy. If they're not really that close with Brantley already and AA could get Peralta for Newk (replacing him with Gohara), you've essentially upgraded your corner OF spot for lots less than originally hoped - and potentially upgraded your rotation while doing so.
