With the 1000th post on this thread let me just say Freddie is a bitch. His new contract proves that. I'm booing the fricker the first chance I get.

Be interesting if there are defined roles or we go more matchup based

Smith is definitely still the closer. 6-8th innings will definitely be match-up based.

Kenley had some early struggles but then righted the ship. Guy is always solid. Rarely can complain about a one year deal

So at least we can now confirm that BravesSteelersDawgs is not AA.

I legit believe he had no intention of signing another reliever and/or a longtime Dodger today until he saw Freddie's comments.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. After winning the World Series, Chelsea told him she was done spending time in Atlanta. I know many admired her, but I have NEVER had a good vibe about her.

This. Every time my buddy and I would discuss the FF situation for the last year I always said I felt like she was pushing for him to leave Atlanta. Would not surprise me at all if she ends up doing some kind of reality show at some point. Everything is so staged with her.

The Freeman’s had no intentions of staying after getting the ring.

Nope. Another feeling I had with the way Freddie celebrated hitting that homer off Hader in game 4 of the NLDS. I think he thought it was going to be his last big moment in Atlanta, and he celebrated like it.

quote:

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.


I see where you are coming from, but I also think he was the outlier with a lot of these guys. He was of the Chipper, BMac, etc mold that was "do your work on the field and the results will speak for themselves" while all the young guys are more "let's have as much fun as we can." Yes they loved and respected Freddie, but I wonder deep down how they felt about him not getting into the things like "Mix it up", homer selfies, and the sword thing.

Regardless these stories from Buster and Chipper's interview really just make me start to hate Freddie. I say cheer him when they first introduce him when the Dodgers come to town, they give him his ring, etc...but boo the frick out of him after that.

It's a preseason Cold War between the Braves and the Dodgers.

That early series with the dodgers should be fun.

I was wrong. Jansen is. Smith gave AA his blessing on that.

This pen is sick!
