The Atlanta Braves Thread

[zjcvols]

Firing Snit is meaningless. The payroll is still $20 million less than last year and they've tried and failed at doing a bench and a bullpen on a shoestring budget.

He sucks as a manager and he can’t even get the team to be motivated this year. He brings no positives right now

 

[GAVol]

It’s not meaningless. He is an air head.

He's definitely not a great manager. But you're kidding yourself if you think he means more than a few wins with this roster.

The Blue Jays have a smaller payroll and they are repeatedly whooping our ass. Asset management is the issue.

Paid up for Springer and spent wisely on Marcus.
Oh and developed their young hitters

A good manager probably gets us a win Tuesday and Wednesday

The Brewers have a significantly lower payroll and they are going to bludgeon us too.

He might get one of those with pen management, but I'm telling you, the late innings are full of landmines with these guys.

The Rays 26 man roster makes $31M but just don’t have the resources necessary with $120M GTFO

Liberty Media bullies

Look Will Smith *****ing the bed today isn’t his fault, but just because he doesn’t have a ton of good options...doesn’t mean he still knows what the hell he is doing

0/4 with 4 Ks

We are heading back to 50% capacity this summer

Call it whatever you want to, but when you slash payroll and let guys like Duvall, Melancon, Green, and O'Day walk and start a thing by not even talking to the MVP about an extension, it has an effect.

Great work to try at the 9th

Striking out 15 times against these guys is not a Liberty Media problem

The Nashville A's still a thing ?

 

[TBrown]

Not only do we have a $120M payroll, we have the second best player in the entire world (the whole planet!) playing for $5M. $115M left to acquire a single teammate worth a damn. Just one!

Wait until you see their payroll!!!

 

[zjcvols]

Imagine how bad we would be if Ynoa hasn’t been amazing

Freddie Freeman has made $140M playing MLB in the most pressure free, beloved environment imaginable and I’m supposed to feel sorry for him because he doesn’t have a contract extension?

It is amazing how good they are almost every year, and I couldn't name a player on that team

 

[zjcvols]

Hey we are 17-14 against non Toronto teams!!!

That's not what I meant at all. As if it matters what I meant.

I get your point and that wasn’t directed at you. That’s why I didn’t quote you. The negative vibes from the FO refusal to ‘go for it’ has something an impact, sure, but it’s AA’s fault, not LM.

Freddie pouting all over the place and it’s been mentioned way too many times in this thread about his contract extension.

 

[vols 30]

Peter Moylan is pretty good at this

Imagine how bad we would be if Ynoa hasn’t been amazing

...and Panda hadn't bailed us out with late HRs.
