BS!

Make this guy throw a strike he’s all over the place

Let’s go Reese

Got ‘em right where we want em

Great job by Engel

Terrible call

Rope

Boy, that was a rough play all around

That’s pretty good

In the playoffs, without a doubt he should catch every game the opponent starts a righty at a minimum.

He’s going to be the ace of the staff if he isn’t already. Just wait until he builds some stamina. Monster

You didn’t answer my question

Since you’re the smartest guy here, who from that list did you trust in late inning high leverage situations?

Absolutely electric! And the two guys with respectable numbers (Ruiz, Heuer) no one wanted to see in late inning high leverage situations.

Seems he’s pretty upset they traded Madrigal even though Madrigal is nothing more than an average starting 2b with no versatility.

You know what else leads to a lot of holds? Teams that are leading late in games and winning a lot. The Sox did that as good as anyone into July last season so get out of here with that stat.

Hendriks was amazing. The rest not so much. You can cite all the advanced metrics you want, the bullpen was not good outside of Hendriks headed into last year’s trade deadline.

I’m not even going to bother with those numbers because I actually watched the team last season, not sure Two-Gun does that just complains. I remember it well. Bullpen was a huge weakness outside of Liam. This was consensus. There is no debating it. Getting even one reliable reliever at the deadline in Tepera was like a godsend. It’s a shame Kimbrel was a bust but I don’t blame the front office for taking a big swing at fixing the pen because that was the one glaring weakness at the time (and 2b following Nick’s injury).

Lol. I don’t care what stats you want to throw out there, there was no one they could trust in late inning situations outside of Hendriks last July. Kopech was the only other reliable late inning reliever at the time but he was coming off a June IL stint and there were already concerns about fatigue/effectiveness.

Their bullpen was in shambles last July. They had one reliable reliever at the time - Hendriks. Were we watching the same team?

If Parkman was GM, the Braves never would have won the World Series last year. On July 31, they were two games under .500 and 5 games out of first place. He’d be waving the white flag!

The entire thought process was so far out there. Makes zero sense to begin dismantling this team when they’re still by far the most talented team in the division this year and next.

This is insanity. Every important player is under team control next season, except Pollock perhaps. Why would you blow it up this year or this offseason? That makes no sense.

Don’t understand the question?

Great point. He’s looked very good the last two years. Certainly a serviceable 5th starter at worst.
