re: ATL Thread | 2023 offseason hot takes + discussion

When did I ever say I wanted Bauer to be a clubhouse leader. I never said that. I simply said he has shown to be a guy who will say out loud what is actually happening and needs to be fixed. He criticizes himself more than any athlete I’ve ever seen. Fried and Morton need to be called out because they totally caved and disappeared this season yet no one says a peep. I bet Bauer would have been right there with Strider cussing umps and going up and in on Harper.

Some of you have talked about a cancer - this team already has cancer. It’s a cancer of lethargy. And Snit is the leader of it. We all know we aren’t signing Bauer. Why do we know this already? Because it’s the Braves and they wont bring anyone in who isn’t either cheap as heck or a choir boy. Everyone here saw the antics of our shortstop and yet I haven’t heard a peep from anyone about it. I’m sure Snit would say it’s all handled “inside the clubhouse” which is all he ever says. Well, we’ve gotten our butts handed to us by a team who handles things differently.

Maybe it’s not Bauer but we need someone who can be an actual man and buck up when we need to fight. Right now we have a collection of great regular season no pressure players who can coast to 100 wins again. But when it comes to October who is our Harper who is willing to take on the world? Riley and Strider can’t do it alone. Maybe Ronald actually grows up this off season but that is highly doubtful.
