I guess I don’t mind taking a chance on Smyly extrapolating his 2020 out for a full season, but not for $11 million. That’s kinda prohibitive for us.
And I try to post the way Lou would want to post. I don’t try to copy any other posters style, unless trying to confuse the Russians, in which case I’ll borrow stuhly’s keyboard.
Seems like it would have been a lot easier to sign Morton if we hadn’t spent $11 million fucking dollars on Drew Smyly.
the other interesting part of that article is that we are expected to make a multi year offer to marcy
I hope the fuck so. The offense is there. Sidenote, still want Puig if he's not chalked up to covid. #statistics
Can’t believe we would tie up this much money in veteran pitchers this close to Christmas. Braylee and Chevin are going to be devastated.
This still feels like an extreme overpay. Braves are essentially setting the market this offseason. Fortunately, Soroka, Fried and Anderson means Morton and Smyly are largely rotation fillers and inning eater guys. Would have preferred a more durable guy like Stroman for one of those roles, but I like to see we’re aggressive early.
Well I’m saying that’s the role he’s almost filling at this juncture in his career and he’s obviously not capable. With the big three healthy he’d likely see a start in a seven game series and that’s it.
Jrmy you non reading ass bitch. Don’t ever text me again asking me for my quiche recipe for your impromptu Covid brunch.
I think, more than anything, it gives us options and Veteran . However, we still have Touki, Bryse, Newk, and Folty we need to something with. Obviously we don't care to rely on them, so why not deal them?
I don’t understand how some of y’all can cry about us not spending money then when we do complain that we didn’t spend it on guys who aren’t actually free agents.
He’s thrown at least 184 innings every year since being established outside of one ineffective season. I’d rather have him as a veteran rotation guy. Morton feels a lot like Hamels to me.
I’m still not upset about Morton and Smyly. I just hope they can both stay healthy next season. Still thinks it’s positive we’re spending money. Wonder if a FF extension happens this off-season.
lou i know we are partners in business and life but i will not hear any slander of braves legend cole hamels
Morton was nasty in the postseason and has made 30 starts in back to back full seasons. Acting like he's cole hamels is absurd.
