Typical canned garbage response.

mlbbowman Snitker said Acuña hasn't been re-evaluated today. They'll be cautious with the hamstring. So, I wouldn't be surprised if he sits until the Braves return home on Friday.

Giving up none of your top 10 prospects for Clevinger didn't make sense?

Anthopolous said money wasn't factor in #Braves trade not adding an impact starter, said it was purely talent -- they couldn't or wouldn't line up with what teams with such starters wanted.


Well now he is straight up lying.

How about that glut of pitching prospects that you've hoarded for too long?

Was about to say what about Bryse Wilson, Kyle Wright, Touki Toussaint, Sean Newcomb, Patrick Weigel.

The fact that he threw Anderson in there after one start further proves that he has no leg to stand on.

This is the type of chickenshit beat writers we have

Mark Bowman
@mlbbowman
Clevinger was the only impact starting pitcher moved. The cost of No. 4 and No. 5s were increased by the limited supply of pitchers available. Still a chance Hamels and Folty make starts in Sept. Folty's fastball was back up to 94 mph his last outing.

Unfortunately, @Braves disappoint yet again. Regular season victories are great, but no team can win in the postseason with only one starting pitcher. Does team turn to rookies now to see what they have? @mlbbowman @DOBrienATL @grantmcauley @JeffSchultzATL #OnToNextYear

This dude is talking about FOLTY. The dude who was so bad we told him to get lost twice.

I can't believe this

Just for a bit of poetic injustice, the Blue Jays picked up three new SP this week.

Yep,dude ALWAYS gets a pass.

I wouldn't expect 680 to say anything but SOMEBODY at 92.9 or the AJC should.

Well based on AA’s comments it sounds like

Fried
Anderson
Hamels
Milone
Folty

Is the best we can hope for.

Sigh.

Love how the Braves value prospects so much that fricking Ender is still the next man up.

Keep stockpiling and never cash them in. It’s the Braves way.

Just saw on Twitter that the Braves didn't
get to Boston until 4:00 AM but I believe Fried was sent ahead of the team yesterday.

That's typically what happens. Wouldn't be surprised if Anderson was sent with him.

The team should have gotten in a liitle earlier than 4. I'm assuming flight delays.
