This series against the Red Sox was pathetic. Absoultely pathetic.  Had the lead in 3 games I know of, possibly all 4 and blew them all.  Time to start making some moves because I don't see this team with its current roster doing much of amything this year.  Started of well but I predict htey finish 3rd in the division.

Looks like I'll be seeing the Harangatang take on the Angels, who he has struggled against. Hamilton, Pujols and Trout have great numbers on him.

At least this Colorado series is warming up the bats. Hopefully the Upton leg injury isn't a nagging one, was hoping to see him.

Still really need a bullpen arm. Simmons however, looks amazing.

I went to both of them. The game tonight was rough until the 9th, they had plenty of chances to win it after that, a shame they couldn't pull it off.

BJ made two inexcusable errors in both games by missing fly balls. It made the first game closer than it needed to be and is a big reason we lost tonight. He got plenty of boos, but for some reason people still cheer Uggla when he comes in.

Trout is fun to watch, be saved the game for them on his diving catch.

I did my fair share of chopping, it is and always will be awesome.

Pitching is not the problem, its an anemic offense and a stubborn front office that doesn't want to admit mistakes.

 

In most organizations, this would result in job loss, but I'm sure the Braves will use the injury excuse and we can all look forward to another year of BJ batting lead off.

"Continuity" and "stability" they'll say.

Thank goodness Wren locked in all these players before the season started!

      No more mistakes on draft day...

      By Waldo · Posted

      Not much to tear down on the roster. A few contracts to dump but really pretty bare bones due to years of poor management and not being able to get more expensive people to come into their mess.  100% on holdovers. The problem is the Teppers will be a part of the hiring at some level, which they have failed at in every way. I can't see a way around that hurdle unless it's pure luck at this point.

      Be careful what you wish for

      Like I said, it doesn't matter how far he can or cannot throw the ball. Most (95%) of the game is played within 20 yards of the line of scrimmage anyway. Having a big arm is plus for sure but not completely necessary. Height and  weight is up there and I would argue more important than arm strength. Accuracy and being able to function under pressure is priority number 1 if you ask me.

      So...who'll win this week?

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      A serious mid-week question:  If you were forced to pick who'll win straight-up for this week's game, who's your choice?  Carolina or Atlanta? Pros for Carolina:  finally, a home game. Carrying over some of the excitement from last week's last 5 minutes. Division rival, chip on our shoulder to prove we can win, etc.    Cons: some key injuries, XL.  And, well.... (waves hands around) all that other stuff Pros for Atlanta: uh, they won last week? (reason for the question: weekly office football pool has the matchup on the sheet and I'm debating which to go with)
