Born Again Georgian Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Alright y'all. I normally don't make topics, because while I am a big Braves fan, I'm not a baseball guru. I leave that big brained, stat stuff, to the rest of y'all. With that being said, what's your big plate of crow you're eating this season. Any takes that didn't age well at all? I'll start. Remember, this is light hearted, and we're all (mostly) Braves fans. Still haven't seen that guy pimpin' the Padres a few months back... Anyway. - Austin Riley will probably continue to be a blackhole on offense. Boy, was I wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTrue7 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Go figure, I’ve never lost faith. These guys in those positions are pretty good. This may be about the best I’ve felt about all GA professional athletics. I'm certainly happy to eat any crow for those with too much on their plate though.

ATL58 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) I was guilty of saying Riley was a bust and should be sent to eternal AAAA league ball. Too good for AAA and not good enough for the bigs. And a shout out to all the experts who laid into me about my views on the positive qualities of Adam Duvall and stating that I wanted him back in the ATL real bad while he was an RBI machine in Miami. You were all wrong. Every last one of you. Shame, Shame, Shame…..😀 Edited October 1, 2021 by Epic Hot Takes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTrue7 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Ok. Duvall I’ll take. He still is what he is. High risk high reward. Let’s hope we continue to hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATL Fan in the DMV Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I liked Soler, but he was just so so awful with KC this year. I mean just abjectly turrible. Boy has he turned into a totally different animal once he was traded here. A true night and day difference. I thought we were gonners once we allowed the lead to dwindle to 0.5 games over Philly a couple weeks ago. We weren't playing good ball, and Philly was surging (despite the lackluster teams they made their run on). I thought Will Smith would turn it around this year after what he did last year. Whoops. Non-Braves related? I thought the Mets would win the division, the Padres were going to be really good this year, and the Giants would eventually fade. *oof* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the A Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I thought Ozzie would be perfect to hit in between Acuna and Freeman but turns out he struggles hitting 1st or 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jidady Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I don’t think there was a single person here who supported us being buyers at the trade deadline. Something I like about AA is that he seems to tell GMs, “I will do it…but only for this.” Then, he lets them shop around, knowing that if they can’t do any better, he will get something done. That Soler trade at the deadline was a “no other offers” kind of acquisition that has paid huge dividends. falconsd56, ATL58 and slamee101 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Francis Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I was down on Dansby, not overly harsh mind you, but he came on this season. Like maybe actually take the next step finally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we should be moving mountains to acquire players, but generating revenue is a huge piece of the pie for this team and selling or doing nothing is not going to help with that. Just to prove I wasn't lying. 😂 5 minutes ago, jidady said: That still gives you a half-pat lead in our division. jidady 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ransack Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I had Luke Jackson strapped to a rocket ship ready to hit blastoff to get him off this team. I didn't hate the Morton signing but I didn't love it either. I hated the Smyly signing I was ready to sell at the trade deadline.
