On a positive note, I like Allen's glove at SS.

I was talking about everyday players.
But even then I don’t view Sale as a dumpster dive move. Quality wasn’t the question, health was.
With guys like Rosario and Soler in 2021 and now with guys like Kelenic and De La Cruz, AA isn’t asking if they can still healthy, he’s asking if he can fix them so they realize their full potential

He already has as many hits as Arcia too

How long until we are allowed to say Riley isn’t as good of a hitter as we initially thought?

Ahh gotcha.
Well you can only re-sign/trade for Eddie Rosario, Adam Duvall, etc., so many times before the magic runs out.

Right… which is what makes AA’s moves so maddening.
After 2021 happened, the thought process should’ve been “Wow, that was really lucky, hopefully I never have to resort to that many shot-in-the-dark moves again”
Instead he seemingly thought “Wow, that was awesome. frick big contracts for talented players, we’re doing this every year”

Great Value Kenny Powers is going to stay in the rotation for some time it seems.
I know there isn't shite out there worth a damn, but who is available that could somewhat give the Braves a semi-decent chance at a win if these count remember how to hit again?

No reason to think this happens. They’ve been this team for a while now.

Only winless team in MLB.
When is the last time that the last team to get their first win in the season ended up making the playoffs that year?
It may have been as recently as last year, I really don’t know?

What in the absolute frick has happened to this lineup? We went from one of the great offensive seasons 2 seasons ago to one of the worst performing offenses in baseball since May of last season. It's remarkable. It's insane. They can't hit their way out of a wet paper bag at this point. Seitzer was clearly a scapegoat and there are deeper issues at play here.

If tweet fails to load, click here. This is also highly irritating, and I have to admit I was wrong this past offseason thinking the Braves as an org were committed to winning at the highest level because this is not how you run an elite baseball club. I think they're gonna be in for a rude awakening with this penny pinching shite when they start seeing attendance tank this season because of the shite product they are putting out on the field.

Sure, but let’s not act like AA hadn't already depleted the farm because he got into a staring contest with Freddie and then got rid of what little assets he had left to get older and more expensive at catcher

Won't get an argument from there. AA out-thought and out-played himself in the Freddie negotiations, agent shenanigans or not. The guy should have never gotten to free agency and should have retired as a Brave.
I am also still perplexed as to what the plan is and has been at SS. Letting Dansby walk wasn't the worst move in the world in a vacuum, but unfortunately when your replacement is basically a utility infielder and your minor league options are complete shite, you may want to have a better contingency plan in place or be prepared to spend some money. Nacho Alvarez is about as much a SS as Vaughn Grissom was. Unless they acquire someone from outside the org, we're gonna continue to be a black hole there.

Correct, but it was still hilarious how AA told on himself by going on public radio saying that Dansby wanted to stay and was willing to take less money.
Regardless, we could've withstood the Dansby departure had we kept Freddie and used what we traded for Olson to instead trade for a SS. But instead we inexplicably made a trade at Catcher, a position where we were set for the present (TDA) and near future (Contreras).
quote:

This is what really bothers me when it comes to judging AA and what appears to be clear hubris.
It's bad enough that we had no real contingency plan for Dansby leaving other than Arcia who, at that point, was a career UI but never really got a fair shot at a starting job outside of one season in Milwaukee.
But the fact that Arcia is coming off of his second season as a starting SS where he graded out at THE WORST everyday MLB player and we still had no contingency plan in place heading into this season, that's roster management malpractice.

Yeah, I am in agreement here as well. It was an odd trade. This was a lateral move or slight upgrade at best, and you just don't trade young catchers who can mash. I am high on Baldwin for this reason as well. His outputs have been shite thus far, but he hits the ball hard and has raked at every level of the minors. I hope we don't make another rash decision trying to "upgrade" somewhere by moving him because who knows what Murphy is going to give you at the plate at this point.

AA has been so thirsty to hit on another reclamation project. 2021 was a fantastic anomaly but is he really that arrogant to not understand the probability on hitting on something like that again is not good?
I don't know, ask his bosses (i.e. Terry McGuirk) that want him to be cheap.

I dont know if we were the last, but the Mets started 0-5 and made the playoffs. It's not time to give up hope yet, its still very early
