Look, I might not be Jack level of depressed with this team, but if winning a lot of baseball games is an option, that is always the choice for me.  A bad playoff series is better than missing the playoffs any day.

I disagree. I'd rather not make the playoffs at all than lose. 

Edited July 27, 20223 yr by Jack Parkman

Engel in CF, Leury RF, Pollock LF. It's not brain surgery.

Ha the real Jose Ruiz just showed up. Curve balls don't do well in this elevation. Maybe stop throwing them.

I'm sure the Braves regret not selling at the deadline last year.

That makes no sense

Didn’t Durham break the wrong way on the first play of the entire series?  I believe Rickey was batting.

Jeeez forgot they had Rickey on that team, Jim Parque vs Sweaty Freddy.

Leury had no chance on that

You're not legally allowed to extend an employment contract beyond death. Already has a lifetime contract.

I've recently heard about technology that can make copies of a person's consciousness and basically extend their lifespan to infinity. I think TLR should be a candidate to be one of the first human's that we test this on. TLR for manager forever....FOREVER.

Sheets is pointless on the roster if Grandal is at DH a lot 

Grandal regularly DHing with the roster constructed as it is would be insanity

of course that seems to be the Sox plan, but still

The Braves acquired 4 outfielders at the deadline- Jock Pederson, Adam Duvall, Eddie Rosario, and Jorge Solar.  Do you think Hahn has the balls to do the same to revamp our outfield lineup if Robert is out for an extended period. Or will we see more of the same with DH's rotating the 2 corner spots without providing enough power to make up for their blunders.

Lucky if we get one LH OF who can play. 2 would be a miracle. There just aren't that many good LH or SW Ofers out there who can also field. That's why I want Wendel for 2nd base.

Agree it was criminal last season, while the Braves sign 4 competent outfielders we do nothing and end with likes of Goodwin and Leury patrolling the outfield.  Hahn too busy pursuing  unneeded 2 nd closer Kimbrel instead.

Jose Ruiz . not a fan.

Engel would have caught it.

A bit more to the left and it's a homer. Luckily that hit the part of the park with the higher fence.

The worst feeling, at least to me, is making the playoffs without reaching the WS. 

It's the baseball equivalent of NBA Hell

If he can't catch more than once a series, he's better off DHing the other two than Sheets. I rather have an actual outfielder than Sheets.

Ruiz is so damn bad

I don't think you can regularly play Eloy & Vaughn in the OF. One of them should be the DH every game they're both healthy, imo.

Don't talk to him....PULL HIM

Ruiz is in Why? Why does Tony do this shit.... So frustrating

I no like.
