The Braves

What a joke! Hopefully they learn something from that ass whipping.

I wanted the guy to redeem himself, but its time the team cuts ties with Uggla. I'm tired of seeing him wiff at bad pitches and fumbling and bumbling at 2nd base. Platoon Pastonicky and Pena there already.

And Gonzalez puts him in the 2 hole? How long before he figures out thats where Johnson needs to be right now.

I guess the good thing is you have a short time to wait to try redeem yourself and those guys need to be angry after a night like tonight.

Really starting to see why Julio was regarded so highly, he looks like he's really starting to put it together. Hopefully he can keep this up and keep the learning curves to a minimum.

Of course he's also probably still fighting for a spot in the rotation for when Beachy is back. Don't know who gets pushed back to the pen but they are stretching him out to start.

Good to see the braves finally get the best of the pirates. Now back to another crappy late night game trip out west.

Well, even with his average, it looks like Uggla is going to have a better power season...hopefully like 2011. Heyward seems to be coming around, which will be big. Justin has been very quiet lately.

 

The bullpen is still an issue, hopefully Walden can nail down the 8th, but one of the others need to step up for the 7th.

    • Super raw, not sure he is worth a top 10 pick.  Primary a pass rusher.  A bit like Burns, very fast athletic but doesnt always follow the play.  His highlights look good but when you watch him play you can see he is just raw and needs to develop
    • Personally, I am not sold on Bryce yet--and I do not think anyone is saying they are, but I don't think Ward is on table when we draft anyway.  Not even sure if I would rather have him than one of the later QBs.  I see a lot of potential in Allar, Nussmeire, Rourke, and even Hamilton from Ohio State--Milroe is intriguing, but I am not sure he is an NFL QB.  Ewers is that sleeper who falls and becomes a solid starter. I think that we sign a veteran who has played and we draft one of these project QBs. To your point:  With that in mind, I think you have to take QB off the table in round 1, and if Bryce can string 4-5 games like KC together, we still need to draft a QB in round three or so---I really think Rourke is a great fit for this offense--he is accurate and gets the ball out quickly---he impressed me vs OSU.   Reason?  I think we may have a tough decision to make about Bryce in 2 years--will he be worth $60m?  That decision is a lot easier if you have been grooming a backup for 2 years who can play. In round 1: I am hoping for PSU's edge Abdul Carter In round 2:  I would like to see us grab a DT who can rush the passer.  Walter Nolen of Ole Miss is versatile and a bit raw. I think he could be an excellent complement to Brown. In round 3:  I would love ILB Danny Stutsman from Oklahoma.  He is a beast. With 11 picks, I would package our 4th rounders to move up into the third round and take a QB.  At the moment, I think Rourke is trending upward and he has the skills Canales seems to want in a QB.  Quick processor, quick release. I would use the fifth rounders on OL.  I know that I left out WR--however, we are getting Thielen back, XL will be improved, Coker will be improved, and Moore has been surprisingly good.  Sanders (TE) has been more than expected in the passing game.  I think we need D more than WR, and maybe we can get a veteran WR to sign or find a hidden gem late.  
    • Wouldn't be surprised if he starts a couple Jets games this year with the way the Rodgers thing is going. Giants fans are pissed they didn't keep him lol. He might actually have a little bit of a market.
