Robles got better, already great

Good post. Def missing our starting catcher already.

What an insanely bad call. You should be able to challenge that nonsense.

What does everyone think? I would prefer to see him back in the pen.

At the very least, you put him in AAA and see what you got. He’s been ping ponging around various levels.

Oviedo optioned. Prob a god example of how rule 5 can hurt development, has options.https://twitter.com/mlbtraderumors/status/1517245272430194688?s=21&t=t8AkZO810e5te654w012Cw

It’s nothing personal, just thinking Urias should be playing there and maybe give Nevin a look at 3b. Might help the offense.

Bummer news on the hamstring, was swinging a hot bat!

No way the pitching holds up, but fun to watch for now. Your right, last couple of years were barely watchable at times, big difference so far but it’s early and in ST pitchers always ahead of the hitters typically.

Odor playing over Gutierrez makes little sense. How much longer does Odor get? I just don’t see the point in having him, upside is minimal, no real potential trade value, Infont get it.

It is very bad to mess with Jobu’s rum, very bad.

I wonder how much of it is the catchers.

Looked great last night! Let’s hope he can do it consistently, that’s the key, stuff is there.

I jinxed that! Ugh!

Impressive outing there for Bauman! Nice!

6 more RBI’s, nuts!

I never thought Stewart was a good pick for a variety of reasons but fairly confident he will get claimed just b/c he hasn’t gotten an extended look and has pop, so with the DH in the NL, I bet he goes there.

Elias will pass on Jones like he did Lawlar & Lacy and people will clamor to make excuses and say “we gotta wait”. Then ten years later those posters will make up a different excuse. Elias is highly overrated and my guess quite arrogant thinking he’s smarter than everyone else. Picking corner OFer in the first round for a rebuild…genius. Fires me up. We will likely be awful for another 10 years as the result of these poor decisions. One thing I want to add to the SG discussion and talking about analysts/Keith Law, etc. Let’s say we took Martin (I wanted Lacy) instead of Kjerstad. And you think Elias should have taken Kjerstad. You can use that high profile prospect as the Blue Jays did in trading Martin, to acquire other pieces. So even if you thought Martin/Lacy were bums, they still were valuable. We wouldn’t know because Elias doesn’t acquire talent to help our major league club. He just says we need another year or two more, rebuild behind schedule, need more talent in the system (so it can be lost in the rule 5 I guess). People keep falling for this nonsense, wake up. He’s not awful but needs to be held accountable when he makes bad moves or he will just keep doing it.

Here’s the link, used to be a starter. Not really sure what Elias is waiting for. Most if these guys better than bringing up guys early or Harvey. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/04/braves-dfa-sean-newcomb.html

Nevin has been playing 3b and at least he can hit.

Time for bed.
