Braves 2015 season thread

I take it that I missed a game today ....

Braves win 2-1

 

[Mistaken4193]

If our pitching would return to normal we can be a pretty good team. We have a good enough offense to win.

 

[wildturkey]

They should look into cloning Shelby Miller 4 times and just let the rest of the starters go

No serious injuries after Braves minor league team bus flips onto side - CBSSports.com

 

[Chewbaccer]

Announcers said that there are reports that Mike Minor might need shoulder surgery. Knew it was coming, but what a shame.

 

[Mistaken4193]

What do yall think Julio and Alex's problems have been so far this season?? Perhaps thinking too much and trying to be more technical instead of Just pitching the ball???

I think our future Staff for 2017 when we should be contenders looks like:

Ace: Shelby Miller
2nd: Teheran
3rd: Foltynewitcz
4th: Wood
5th:???? (I would say Minor but I think he is done)

This team reminds me of the Braves I grew up with; lots of potential but just can't pull it all together at once.

Lot of young guys just playing ball this season. If the pitching had their shit together this team would be way better than advertised. I'd rather watch them play the way they do this season than watch them strike out 15 times and hit 3 solo HR's a game like they did last season with those big overpaid names on the roster.

The last game I watched was the other night against the Reds and they blew it in the 9th. A heartbreaker, just like when I was in middle school.

Sucks bawls to watch a game for 3 hours only for them to lose it in the 2 hr 59 min mark. Just goes to show ya, not only does every game count but every run counts when it comes to making the playoffs at the end of they season. I hear all the time "Well they play like a thousand meaningless games". No, when you're a game and a half out of the wildcard spot come playoff time you'll realize that EVERY one of those 162 games you played meant something.

 

[Edisto_Tiger]

yup.

Jace Peterson hits a grand slam for his first career homerun !!

Probably a prospect in the 5th spot(Wisler has been great so far in the minors)

 

[Chewbaccer]

We're not supposed to be contenders this season, but just look at what we could be if Teheran and Wood would just pitch like they're supposed to.

I can't stand our fucking bullpen though.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Great performance by Miller today. So damn close to a no hitter. 1 out away. Can't complain about another complete game shutout though.

As the season goes along I am really loving the trades the Braves made this winter. The Braves will have a stable of young arms for many years to come. GREAT JOB MR. HART!

I like the moves that were made. We're getting instant payoff from Peterson and Miller(Maybin has been decent too). And from what I've heard, Wisler(spell, the guy we got for Kimbrel and BJ) has been tearing it up in the minors this season.

I like what our offense and rotation projects to be, but we do need to work on the bull pen. Shae Simmons going down really hurt us.

I'm hoping we can find someone to take Chris Johnson. Put Jace Peterson at third and call up Peraza to play second.

Just ordered my tickets for a game against the pirates. Taking the boy to his first big league game! Got "terrace" seats on the 3rd base side.

Got terrace level seats a couple years ago when I took my brother and father for fathers day. It was great for a day game, we were just a couple rows under the mid level seats so we had some purdy good shade most of the game.
