re: The ATL Thread 4/11: Phillies (Moore) @ Braves (Smyly) [7:08 PM]

Smyly is the biggest wild card in the entire NL. There is so much unknown with him.

I feel like the range of possibilities for him goes from winning the Cy Young to being out of the rotation by July.

I know we're supposed to hate Bryce Harper, but he seems like a really good dude and he has always been very complimentary of Freeman. He also seems to have a lot of fun with Braves fans and doesn't take the jeering too seriously.

Yeah I mentioned in the game thread yesterday that when he first came up I thought that he was a gigantic dbag. But after the "that's a clown question, bro" remark a few years back my opinion of him changed. He welcomes the boos and has fun w/it. And he's really good on top of it.

He seems like the guy you can sit down and pound a few beers with. And I've always appreciated his respect for Freddie. They are actually really good friends.

Just stopping in to ask if Alex Anthopoulos is our shite arse GM still? If so, frick him.

Brah!!

Smyly brought back Tommy Milone memories in that inning. Dude was throwing batting practice.

Smily is going to give up HRs and hard hit contact. He’s isn’t going to walk guys and he’ll get his strikeouts.

Monica Seles?

Pache covers a ton of ground and makes it look easy out there. He wears 25 well.

I still don’t understand not letting Smily face Bryce and pulling him next batter. If we lose this game on that run it’s on Snitker.
