This series against the Red Sox was pathetic. Absoultely pathetic.  Had the lead in 3 games I know of, possibly all 4 and blew them all.  Time to start making some moves because I don't see this team with its current roster doing much of amything this year.  Started of well but I predict htey finish 3rd in the division.

Looks like I'll be seeing the Harangatang take on the Angels, who he has struggled against. Hamilton, Pujols and Trout have great numbers on him.

At least this Colorado series is warming up the bats. Hopefully the Upton leg injury isn't a nagging one, was hoping to see him.

Still really need a bullpen arm. Simmons however, looks amazing.

I went to both of them. The game tonight was rough until the 9th, they had plenty of chances to win it after that, a shame they couldn't pull it off.

BJ made two inexcusable errors in both games by missing fly balls. It made the first game closer than it needed to be and is a big reason we lost tonight. He got plenty of boos, but for some reason people still cheer Uggla when he comes in.

Trout is fun to watch, be saved the game for them on his diving catch.

I did my fair share of chopping, it is and always will be awesome.

Pitching is not the problem, its an anemic offense and a stubborn front office that doesn't want to admit mistakes.

 

In most organizations, this would result in job loss, but I'm sure the Braves will use the injury excuse and we can all look forward to another year of BJ batting lead off.

"Continuity" and "stability" they'll say.

Thank goodness Wren locked in all these players before the season started!

      Edge Rushers

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      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.
