2018 Atlanta Braves Season Thread: Offseason

Are we seriously catching the Reds riding a 7 game win streak? Good Folty tonight please.

Also, Acuna took the field in AAA last night.
 
Acuna played in three games this weekend. Went 1-for-10 at the plate.
 
We have some useless pieces on our roster. A fucking sac bunt with Dansby in the 6th yo bring up Flaherty when the pen is totally gassed.
 
So was Snit hoping he could use Sims for 2 innings last night, Freeman in the 8th, and Minter in the 9th? Because the way it played out I would have much rather seen Freeman go against Votto-Gennett-Suarez. Not sure why Freeman couldn't have stayed in for one more out to handle Peraza with a short pen and the pitcher's spot due up in the bottom of the inning. We definitely need to add a situational lefty.

Acuna will solve for Bourjos but we need to upgrade Flaherty and Moylan.

We already have 3 lefties in the bullpen which is 3x what most clubs have. I think there is almost no chance we pay what a lefty will cost. We just need anyone remotely serviceable to get through the 7th/8th.

Like most I was pissed that Phillips got sent back down without seeing what he can do. He could be the jolt we need and we need to know that before we ship prospects.
 
Minter is a high leverage arm who can go a full inning. Biddle and Freeman have reverse splits. We need a lefty specialist.
 
At what point do we consider the Wisler and Sims trial over? It's been 2 years. They are quad A players.
 
Inefficient Newk so far with a gassed pen. Votto is out, we need this one.
 
That was a fun inning. Great slide by Zuk. We really need FF to get going again.
 
I don't care if we have a whole bullpen of people that throw 75 if they throw strikes. Another damn leadoff walk.
 
Bullpen is just garbage. Definitely the weakest link on this team. If we don't make the post season that will be why.
