Kevin Wilson Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I'm not sure if this is some type of record but the Braves being utterly unable and/or unwilling to win two games in a row has led to them going 17 straight games alternating between wins and loses. Its both endlessly frustrating and amusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is basically nothing without Theo and man is he a million times worse at PR than Theo. I listened to that clip and was in utter amazement at what I was hearing. If you're a Cubs fan then you should know that Jed is the man for the job he's in now because he sucks and he'll do what Ricketts tells him to do. After thinking about it over the weekend, I think the haul we got sucks. We got a bunch of dudes who are now 9th or 30th or 6th best in our farm system. The guys in front of them aren't that good. So the farm went from being below average to maybe average to decidedly average. Ownership is also not going to spend a fucking dime even with a payroll that's just north of $60 million for the 4th or 5th largest market team. The Ricketts are all scummy people and Tom talking about suffering biblical losses is fucking hilarious. Fuck him. This is a team that got practically nothing back for Darvish. So none of this proves that Jed somehow miraculously became a better GM than he was in his time with SD. Plus, the same FO is in place that hasn't been able to draft well unless they have a tippy top pick. It's cool and all that the team got players in return for sentimental favorites that got low balled on extensions, but they should have been making brave moves every year. So why did they wait until now to make any of these trades? Because getting rid of fan favorites hurts the bottom line. The money was there to offer meaningful extensions to KB, Javy, and Rizzo, but they weren't going to spend it. Now they're talking about how this is more of a retooling than a rebuild?! The fuck it is. I'll be happy to eat crow if this team spends on top tier free agents over the next one to two years, but I'll believe it when I see it. There's a bunch of great FAs that will be available in 2022. Freeman, Castellanos, and Story are probably at the top of that list. What we'll get? Probably too many years of Khris Davis. Fuck Tom Rickets and fuck Jed Hoyer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javy is fine. This is just who Javy is. As someone who has watched him in the minors until now, he's always been a little, um, dramatic when it comes to any ache or pain he has. Get used to it because it won't be the last time he looks like he was hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also the answer for "Worst player to hit 40 homers in three straight seasons". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Wilson Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Cardinals clearly don't give a damn about Alex Reyes. He came into a tie game with two outs, promptly went HBP -> Walk -> Walk -> Walk -> Walk. Shoulda been yanked after the second walk, clearly his mind wasn't there today. Unreal.

Next week things should balance out when one of the starters goes to the BP. And if Pearson finds his groove he will help out. Losing Phelps and Merryweather early on was such a kick in the teeth. Interesting note that came up was that Austin Martin was Minnesota's backup choice in the Barrios deal. They wanted teenager Orelvis Martinez but Toronto wouldn't move him. Interesting having Cimber finish the game. Romano seems to have lost his groove trying to be the 9th inning guy. Moving him back may help him Edited August 6, 2021 by Serious Darius Bagfelt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
