Atlanta Braves Thread VI

It's almost like Brandon beachy didn't JUST HAVE TOMMY JOHN SURGERY

This franchise is freaking idiotic when it comes to dealing with arms.

This franchise is freaking idiotic when it comes to dealing with arms.

It's one thing to churn bullpen arms, it's another to run DOMINANT young starters into the ground for no reason at all.

 

[Regulator]

Fredi makes me think of boob.

 

[Weezy]

This is good news. This can only mean Beachy is better than ever. After watching both Medlen and Beachy come back strong after Tommy John, Fredi has decided to put Teheran on the fast track.

Teheran's got a chance to be a #1 starter. He gets better and better (I haven't watched today's game, but his line looked great). To risk this is so ****ing dumb.

Nice

Nice grab by Jup to put us all out of our misery here.

Not long until Fredi goes to a 4 man rotation

Surprised he didn't run Kimbrel out there.

Most pitches by a Braves starter since Kawakami in 09

 

[Vercingetorix]

Letting a 22 year old throw 123 pitches in a 5-0 game is, of course, idiocy. Unbelievable, even for Fredi.

 

[005]

Scotty did you lose a bet with that avi, brah?

 

[Vercingetorix]

Like it was that important to get that "complete game".

Good God.

The Braves aren't just handicapped by their budget. They're handicapped by the fact that they're one of the only organizations philosophically trapped in the 1980s.

Yep.


Amazing at developing arms; can't use them correctly.

 

[The Orange Pants]

Fredi when asked about having starters go deeper into games "Oh yhea. Sometimes you gotta push the guys."

Teheran's previous high pitch count this year was 100. 123 tonight. Fredi, a 23% jump isn't pushing someone. That's criminal. Damn fool.

 

[LotteryPick]

He's so stupid.

 

[005]

He has no plan.

 

[zjcvols]

He has no plan.

Yup. This organization has no ****ing idea what they are doing.

 

[zjcvols]

I'd fire him right now if I could.

 

[LotteryPick]

"Push the guys."

Why? How can you justify that?

I have no idea. Does he plan to go 130 with him in September or something?

 

[GAVol]

I don't see it as all that big a deal. He was at 110 through 8. I don't think the extra 13 pitches endangered his career.

Wouldn't surprise me. Smh.

 

[The Orange Pants]

"Push the guys."

Probable Fredi response "He's young. He can take it. Those young bucks bounce back real quick. They heal in no time. He'll be alright."

or

'I was eating some sammiches. I was just talking about pushing the guys out of the way when I'm on my way to feed my fat ass."

 

[Vercingetorix]

I don't see it as all that big a deal.

The current stathead literature is fairly definitive that anything much north of 100 pitches is risky in an under-25 pitcher. Julio Teheran is one of the Braves' most valuable assets, and he's only 22 years old. What's the benefit to sending him back out there in the 9th after 109 pitches in a 5-0 game? Why do it?
