Not at all. Mid 30s. Very easy going. Lived through the Chuck Tanner and Russ Nixon years. Which is why I think it's ludicrous to call out Bobby Cox and Fredi Gonzalez when the Braves under perform. That's all.

Forget Bobby Cox, you've got to admit Fredi at the least has had some "trouble" managing particulars of his teams such as the bullpen.

Remember his love obsession with Scott Proctor? I know things are better now than they were the 1980s, but there are certain calls Fredi has made that plainly do not make sense and have hurt the Braves.

That is all.

P.S. Fredi did a better job last year than he had the previous in my opinion.

Without question. I've never been a Fredi hater, as I really don't think a major league manager makes a TON of difference, but his bullpen management was quite a bit better than the year before. Also helped that we had a lot of guys throwing well in the back end of the pen.

Alabama has been too good at football lately. I haven't been in years.

Garcia starting for the Braves all year
I'm gonna tune in each game

quote:

Which means the Braves appear content relying on Julio Teheran, Freddy Garcia, Alex Wood, and David Hale to hold down the fort for now. The hope is that Santana will be game-ready by the time the Braves need a fifth starter for the first time. Mike Minor, who had a urinary tract procedure in late December and dealt with shoulder soreness upon reporting to camp, could be ready to join the rotation by mid-April.

There should be more help on the way soon. Gavin Floyd, who signed a one-year, $4 million deal with the Braves over the winter, is currently working his way back from Tommy John surgery and flexor tendon surgery. Wren said he has been “extremely impressive” during his rehab and could join the rotation in mid-May.
