Guys all the studs have already been traded.. There are no Machado's left out there to trade for..
If Sims is converted to a middle reliever and has fairly good success this is a bad trade.
Obviously the Braves brass forgot to give you a call for approval. My guess is they know what they are doing.
He worked in relief with us and got lit like a candle in the dark, but more specifically didn't have command of his pitches. Who cares if you throw a devastating slider and filthy changeup if you can't spot it up?
No, I gotcha @MacDawg15. I didn't want Machado anyway. No way we would've worked a deal out. I was just saying in general....Don't puzzyfoot around! I wouldn't trade the bat boy for this guy. I can't watch baseball anymore anyway. Too slow.
Actually I'll just sit n see. Maybe we get some production out of him. I just hate trading guys for next to nothing
Well it can go like this. He does absolutely nothing for us, but we still didn't lose anybody that was in our future plans. OR the dude could come up with some big hits to help win a few games here and there. And yes .205 is terrible but have you ever hit off of big league pitching? My 1st career pro ball hit was off of Pedro Bourbon and even at the last days of his career looked pretty **** salty from an on deck circle. These guys are facing the best arms on earth.. I assure you as slow as it may look on tv, it **** sure ain't like that when your in the box and hear the ball coming in.....
Lol for nothing? WTH were the other 3 doing to help us win ballgames?
I agree somewhat. I'll sit back and see. It's really just a knee jerk reaction to the Braves staying in mediocrity. You played pro ball? I played HS and 2 years at GA Southwestern as a walk on. Played against many future pros, especially from Jones Co. Only pro I hit against was Kevin Brown. That was the shhhhhh......
Dude I'm just disagreeing. You wanna argue or what? I went back and changed my post while you were still writing. I thought you'd be someone cool to talk baseball with.....???
Yea Bourbon, Steve Bourgouis (used to be with the Rockies), and some lesser known guys that may have just had a short splash in the show. Bourbon hit me in the middle of the back after I singled off him up the middle in my 1st AB against him lol.
Not sure I'd agree with that. They are making value judgements, and, for every good trade, their is an equally bad trade out there somewhere. The Braves don't have to look far to find some bad trades. "Brass" doesn't always know what it's doing. Time will tell if this is a helpful trade. Hopefully, Kevin Seitzer can get Duvall's strikeouts down and his balls in play up a bit.
Very cool lol. Good story! That cat could sling it even in his later years
I know you remember a certain Ga hs boy the Braves took in the 1st round in 01? He used to get a tude bcuz I prob hit over .500 against him in hs. Same region
No hostility from me brother lol. I was just trying to stress those 3 guys haven't and aren't doing anything for us lol. Wasn't meaning any harm.
You mean...****... I know who you're talking about. My brother played against him. Can't remember his name for anything. Seems like it started with a J. White or black guy? I'm thinking it was either Rondale White or Green's cousin or nephew. Just can't remember
