They screwed Grissom on the strike calls. I get it if it was a legit reliever out there. But it was a spare long hair who was on the ropes. And those were good takes on low strikes.

We won a World Series without him. He can go elsewhere. His personality and drama seem too much in the locker room.

I think the Braves look hard at Sonny Gray in the off-season. Would love to see them get in on Bauer, but I’m sure someone will come in and overpay for him, assuming he’s reinstated (is he even suspended?).

Rosario has a $9mm option. They probably pick that up. A better LF platoon option would be nice over Pillar. Iglesias dropping to 8th and Minter to 7th would be nice if they can find a better closer option. Hader is FA but most likely out of price range. I briefly looked and saw will smith and Shane greene were FAs. Lol

Did Tyler Matzek die? I guess his elbow is beyond repair.

I like Smith Sharver in a SP role next year too. Guessing Braves move on from Morton / he retires.

Wonder what Ronald will be saying when he shows up on a random podcast in the next couple of weeks.

Pretty fricking lame to not answer to the media after shitting the bed. I'm not pro media but it's more about standing there and taking it like the rest of your teammates. You can't be (deservedly) look at me all year and then dip out when you are punked.

Minter seems destined for TJ next year...lot of innings over the past 3 years so definitely need to add depth to the pen.

Waldrep is exciting. Need high velocity in the bullpen. Id be fine losing Rosario and trying something new out there. Id trade Max for something if he refuses a team friendly deal.

Gray would be good with me. Like the cut of his jib.

Ronald just needs to wear a Deion Colorado shirt and the media will just hang from his nuts - that's how it works now, right?

LMAO at the philthy fans/media who celebrated one of their own wearing a Cowboys' all-time great on his shirt before game 3 -

I think this would be a great move, especially if Morton retires. Use his money coming off the books and replace him with Gray. A top end starter is definitely a need in the offseason. Not sure whether AA would go the free agent route or try and trade for one. They need a true shutdown ace who can take the mound on a day like yesterday and give you 7 innings of 1 run ball.

Need to find a SS upgrade. I'd be fine moving on from Arcia and keeping Lopez in the super utility role. Arcia is a clown who embarrassed himself in the two games in Philadelphia.

Need to bring in a tough, hardass kind of player or two who won't cower in fear or be intimidated by the big stage. The Phillies sensed fear and went for the throat. The Braves showed fear by tinkering with the record setting lineup before Game 1. Something needs to change in that clubhouse.

Not sure moving on from Arcia makes sense. Guy gave you great production for his cost. Plus his contract would seem to signal he’s the guy next year.

Braves definitely need someone like a Castellanos who isn’t phased and just produces on the big stage. Pederson and Soler were those guys on the championship run.

Really need Atlanta to find a psycho reliever like Graterol from the Doyers
