Well shame on you for believing what ashy larry was saying b/c I literally stated our better bats have been international guys and the sentence prior was directly focused on drafted players...you only draft college/HS kids
Well I kinda jinxed him but 3 runs shouldn't be that big to overcome with what I keep hearing about how good our lineup is supposed to be.
Only real contributors in this lineup are newcomers that snit hasn’t fucked up yet. Top of the lineup is dead if dugy is cold
Verdugo not starting lol. Also, Baldwin should be the starting catcher or learning to play second base. His bat is too valuable.
When Ronald comes back it will be Acuña, Albies, Riley, Olson, Ozuna, Harris, Baldwin/Murphy, Arcia/Allen, White or something like that do we ever really change
He has so many areas where pitchers can go and know he can't hurt them. And on top of that, if his entire swing isn't locked in, he's liable to miss pitches that are pitchers misses too. He's just a .240, 30 HR, .810 OPS guy. Not terrible, but just another 1B power hitter. Not in the same universe as Freddie was.
Just wish we could find some way to get both on the field and Ozzie get a case of long COVID or something.
Honest question, does Snit have dementia? He can’t find players in the huge area this is the dugout, doesn’t know the health status or really show an interest in it for his best player. Or maybe the Latinos are just invisible to him.
I don't know about you guys but I would hate having a sixth year of a hall of fame first baseman like Freddie. So glad AA didn't get us locked into that situation.
Your bit is getting really fucking old. Freddie was the one who bailed on us by being greedy. None of us don’t like him because we didn’t think he was still a good player when he left. I don’t like him because he’s a greedy fraud. We offered a fair deal at $140M/5 years that he decided to dick around with to try to get an extra $5m per year. That’s $28m per year. He wanted $33M per year. He ended up signing $162M/6 years. That’s $27M per year. He didn’t even get what we offered at AAV. I couldn’t care less about his tears since then because he didn’t get to have his cake and eat it too. Chipper warned him to not play games if he truly wanted to be part of the Braves for life. Dude turned his back on us because $28M per year wasn’t enough for his fake ass wife. That’s fine. But don’t act like it was AA’s fault, he offered him more AAV than he ended up signing for.
