Interesting. That was a long way back so no surprise I don't remember it. I wonder how the warm up worked there. But he clearly didn't pitch well at all so perhaps they moved away from it. He did have some arm issues since then so that could have played a role as well. Have to look at a...

I think it's a tough ask to have him warm up physically and mentally to pitch just in case he's needed, then put him back at 1B, then put him on the mound in a presumptive jam (because why else would take out Thomas). I've never seen that happen at this level. Probably unrealistic to expect...

I don't believe so. I could absolutely be wrong which would mean there's a lot of egg on my face right now but I don't remember it happening.

Look I get you're mad but think about it. If English is warming up in the bullpen he is coming into the game at the top of the inning. This has been established literally the entire season. This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who has watched the team this year. So what exactly are the...

You mean the guy playing 1B who wasn't even warmed up? Yea I have heard of him.

English was playing 1B. I dont think he can come in mid inning because he has to warm up while the team is on offense. So that's not an option.

How many games have you guys just showing up in here watched this year? Our bullpen ain't great. Who exactly is he supposed to go to there?

Considering all the games are being played at the same field (ours for those who haven't noticed) being the home team or away team for a single game doesn't really matter all that much. I'm not sweating it.

That was me. And what you said in that post is that "pitching ALWAYS trumps hitting" in the post season. If that was true you'd think the Braves would have won more than 1 title with Glavine, Smoltz, and Maddux. Yes I realize you probably exaggerating for effect. What I was trying to say was...

It didn't end up hurting us but man if that was a called sacrifice bunt that's probably a bad call. Every guy in this lineup can hit. It drives me nuts that we turn to bunting the runners over so much. We've been doing it for years.

From a quick search the Minnesota Twins?

This is an axiom that gets thrown around a lot but isn't always true. Particularly to the extent that those who say it believe it is.

Fair enough. A lot of things can mess you and others around you up if you're in a bad state of mind, aren't going in with your eyes open, can't handle them, or are just not a great person to begin with. Weed's not an exception.

I don't know how you don't pick Thomas. Curry is too homer prone and I don't think it's the ballpark. I'd love to see his ground ball percentage and home road splits to be sure but I think that's a cop out. I would have put Hurter right on Thomas' heels based on the way he was pitching before...

This reads like old school reefer madness silliness. All of these things are just as true, if not more so, of alcohol. And yet we don't have posts and posts pontificating on that. Because who cares if players go to a party have a drink every once in a while as long as it doesn't get in the...

Yea so at this point in the season I think we've played enough games where can say that our offense is relatively solid.

I think they have two different objectives and aren't necessarily related. The rankings are their order of teams based on field results so far. It's looking back on what's happened. The bracket is their guess of what the teams will do down the stretch and where the committee is going to put...

They actually addressed this in the d1baseball.com chat when someone asked about Stanford's ranking. Seems reasonable to me.

This is a guy who blogs for the Braves on SBNation. For the past bunch of years he creates a composite MLB Draft prospect ranking using all the services and updates it when new prospect rankings are released. It's a pretty awesome resource. Right now the only Tech player ranked on there is...

What's your definition of High/Mid/Low-Mid/Low?
