One legged Smith is better than 2 legged Haskins

Thank you John Coppolella

That's a great article, and I think spot on. When you make the number of trades that he did and there's really only 2 (Alex Wood and Andrelton) that you can take issue with, that's pretty good.

I appreciate the mention of Coppy who hit like .900 on the rebuild (Allard and Olivera is big misses). But the potshots at Wren are pretty low considering his team signed Acuna and Albies and he made the extensions for Freddie and Teheran.

. . . and a bazillion dollars for BJ Upton, Dan Uggla and Kenshin Kawakami lol. Frank Wren did make some good baseball moves, but it's not exactly breaking news that he wasn't the easiest guy to work with and pretty much buried the farm system.

Also, Bill Shanks wrote the book Scout's Honor which was based on some of the scouts that Frank Wren fired. It's not surprising that he wouldn't hold back on Wren.

 

[GAVol]

Lol . . . I just looked up the book Scout's Honor and this was the description. It'll make your head explode.

Using the Atlanta Braves as a focal point, Scout’s Honor is an in-depth look at what instinct and gut reaction means to baseball and how the numbers-don’t-lie style of the new breed is not only misleading, but mistaken.

While I’m thinking about it, I want to wish my dudger brothers @AV_12 and @zjcvols a good series.

No matter what happens, we still gon be boys when the smoke clears.

Y’all got a good squad

 

[TBrown]

Lmao

I’m trying to check in from the sandy dunes and we talkin bout kawakami and taking potshots at the vest, AV and Z

For the record, I have no beef with kawakami cause I was at the game he outdueled Roy halladay (RIP) and that makes him worth $33M to me

It’s B4DL and walker buehler a little bitch. I can still see the pee running down his pants leg from when he walked Newk and gave up a GRANNY to his daddy

Mondays are great days to take a 1-0 lead in an NLCS series or so I hear

RIP Joe Morgan. Great players who helped the Braves out back in 1982. I remember this like it was yesterday

CANDLESTICK CLASSICS / #3 / Day of Sweet Revenge / Joe Morgan's clutch homer knocked the Dodgers out of the pennant race on the final day of the 1982 season and made the Braves champions

9 year old GAVol was watching it live when that happened. It's the first pennant race I remember.
