Dickey and Colon are just awful and hard to watch. Teheran looks bad and his best days are behind him. Folty sucks and plus he has a terrible attitude which makes me hate him more. Jaime Garcia has been pitching good but that won't last. Just pathetic. These flunkies should all be dropped off in the middle of the ocean

To make things worse they have no defense behind them at all and Swanson can be placed in the "bust" category

Man you've gotta be kidding me. Swanson isn't a bust yet. This is his first full season. FOH with that nonsense.

Edit-Back to the topic, Colon and Dickey are some dang debbie downers. They sure know how to kill some buzz.

Glad you're a prognositcator and can tell a player is a bust after about 85 games.

Mike Trout rookie year
.220/.281/.390, .296 wOBA, 87 wRC

Jose Altuve rookie year
.276/.297/..357, .289 wOBA, 80 wRC

Michael Brantley's first two years
.313/.358/.348, .320 wOBA, 92 wRC
.246/.296/.327, .280 wOBA, 73 wRC

Anthony Rizzo's rookie year
.141/.281/.242, .248 wOBA, 59 wRC

Brian Dozier's rookie year
.234/.271/..332, .265 wOBA, 63 wRC

Adam Jones first two years
.216/.237/..311, .239 wOBA, 39 wRC
.246/.300/.400, .307 wOBA, 86 wRC

Those are some of the best players in the major leagues, and thats not counting guys like Jose Bautista, Daniel Murphy, and others that took more than 162 games to become who they are.

.242/.319/.365, .290, 77. Thats where Dansby is coming into today. His walk rate is very good(43rd in MLB) at 11.7%. He's very unlucky with balls in play with a .248 average when the league average is .300. His line drive percentage for the year is 22.0%, when his percentage was 22.7% last year when he hit over .300. HIs percentage of hard ball hit is 33.1%. Last year? 34.7%. Soft contact this year? 11.7%. Last year? 18.7%.

He's not hitting the ball like a .190 hitter, like the stats show, and if he gets his BABIP to .300(league average), he is a .260 hitter, and thats just league average.

But yeah, he is a bust.

I wish Newk wasn't a left handed version of Wild Thing so we could at least get rid of one of the 40+ guys.



Seriously, it's so frustrating to see him just make hitters look completely overmatched one inning and then walk the bases loaded in the next inning. He gets away with the walks in the minors for the most part, but I'm worried when he does come up we'll see some 1 or 2 inning outings from him due to the walks.

People who thought they could be a stop gap and eat a ton of innings.

I literally get fighting mad when I think about Liberty Media. They ran the Braves straight into a deep abyss. The pitching is terrible. Dansby is fricking terrible. I am sad my kids will probably never understand the Braves were once a great team.

Bro. Take it easy. This team is miles ahead of last year. Dansby will be fine. Well compete for a WC spot next year and hopefully the East in 2 years.

All is forgiven haha. Now if next year he's still making the mental errors and hitting sub .200-.220 then we can talk.
