The Braves are the ultimate "what if". If Wohlers doesn't give up that HR to Leyritz..... Who the hell knows
As precious as every win is would everyone agree if this guy knocks a few key runs in that lead to a win instead of loss he was worth it (given we make the playoffs of course??)
**** right
It's a low grade move at best.
It illustrates what this team's ownership is about, they are a corporation with no real interest in winning. Well, winning to them is making money.
I thought I read he had a few years of contractual control left.
AVERAGES matter. If you go to Vegas and lose more than you win, counting the wins as wins is fools' gold.
If he comes up in 20 important situations and fails in 15 or 16 of them, he'll be a net minus.
I give up
I'm thinking that in a close pennant race, with teams within a game or two of each other, 3-4 games won with his help might make this trade more tolerable.
what are your big 3 doing for us? Call me out if Sims becomes a stud. This is getting rediculous
THISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS IS MY POINT
It seems that, in the past, whenever a player left Atlanta, he always did better. Maybe I just recall a few select instances, but it feels that way. Matt Kemp is the latest.
That's just baseball. Alot has to do sometimes with changing leagues, WHERE a guy goes. For example Brach last nite. He's coming from an awful baseball team and now is pitching in very meaningful appearances. So many factors
I don't mind the trade, even though Duvall doesn't seem to be hitting. If I'm not mistaken, Tucker and Wisler are out of options, so they can't be sent down without being subject to waivers. Since we have much better pitching prospects, they were likely gone after this year anyway. This is more of a Sims for Duvall move, while also clearing up 2 roster spots for for additional call-ups, or another trade. It seems more lopsided than it really is IMO. But who knows, it could play out in a number of ways. For now, we get a veteran presence, who hits for power (even if only against lefties), and plays good defense.
Or the reverse. When they get to ATL they play like ****. But as said, that's baseball. I guess we'll see if this trade works out. It's time for us to get HOT or it won't matter
Oh no
