I’ll go on and admit the main reason I’m upset is because I’m going to miss that big toothed lanky bastard.


It's already killing me seeing him in Dodgers ST gear.

I am legitimately worried about this aspect of things with Freddie gone. Olson is going to produce similar numbers, but Freddie was THE heart and soul of that clubhouse.

It's one thing if these transactions were made on a video game, but this is real life, and you can tell from the interviews that the braves players and staff are still giving right now, Freddie leaving has fricked them up pretty bad.

I feel terrible in all of this for Matt Olson, he's in an impossible situation. All he wanted to do was come home, but he also inherited a hell of a scapegoat mantle. If he struggles at any point at all... he's going to get booed.

Also, by that logic, you can't be mad at Freddie for being pissy with his comments on AA's tears today, because that's just Freddie showing anger as an emotion.

Stop looking for a fight and take what I said at face value.



You're right that there is fake emotion, but that wasn't the case here. AA was genuinely upset. Hell you could see how red his eyes were on the news even w/his hat pulled down.

I'm not looking for a fight, just telling you you're wrong on this. And that's fine. But you are offbase here.

You saying this has just as much value as me saying it was fake.

You know just as much as I do.

Stop being lame and concede the fact that I have just as much of a chance as being right as you do.

I haven’t watched it so this is not a comment on whether it was real emotion or not.

This is why people do not like you. You don’t know 100% whether the emotion was real. You have an opinion just like others have an opinion which is fine, but you call people wrong, shove it down their throats, and then gloat when you are right.

Leadership is overrated. Does it come in handy when the team is on a 10 of 14 skid? Sure. But when you have a strong clubhouse manager like Snit that won't be a problem. I also think either Dansby or Ozzie will fill that void.

Again, you're making more of it than is necessary. Once the season starts and they start to win, this will all be forgotten.

I think the vast majority of fans realize that Freddie being gone is on Freddie and won't hold him not being here against Olson. Again, you are making drama where there isn't any.
