Why not leave Adams in to play LF if you want "better defense" out there instead of burning another position player? Man I can't express my anger with Snitker. Yes you can and have...

Posted April 13, 2018 Yes!! Braves win!! 4-0!! Braves are 8-5!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 13, 2018 Braves are 6-4 in 10 games vs. 2017 NL playoff teams. Who could ask for anything more!! Love the way this team is playing this year and it's not even at full strength yet. Can't stand Snitker's managerial decisions but team plays balls to the wall for him!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would absolutely love to be able to move both in July and have Soroka and Wright join the rotation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would be letting Soroka and Wright get experience this year at some point so they're ahead of the game come 2019. Sanchez and McCarthy don't have a spot on the Braves in 2019. Why hang onto them and not let our future guys get the experience they need? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not saying resign them but if the Braves were in a WC spot or super close I and lots of others wpuld be pretty pissed to see them sell off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 14, 2018 A win tomorrow would put the Braves at 4 games over .500 for the first time since April 19, 2015 when they were 8-4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why blow in 2019 because we're waiting for Soroka and Wright to get used to pitching in the majors when 2019 is the year the Braves are supposed to return to contention? Why not let them get used to pitching in the majors in 2018 so that they hit the ground running in 2019 and can be a part of the Braves winning in 2019?

I see your point but the rebuild has to be over now. They need to add some proven talent, I understand how good bpth Allard and Soroka can be but it's time to get this over with.

Soroka will be on the big league team long before the trade deadline. I’d be surprised to see Wright before September because AA has already said that he doesn’t believe in quick assention of players through the Minors and plus who’s rotation spot would you put him?(Gohara, Newcomb, Teheran, Folty or Soroka?) There’s no point in rushing players up especially just to pitch in the bullpen or just a spot start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the scouts said Soroka was MLB ready in Spring. Falconsfan567 likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
