WTF is with ESPN doing a split-screen “buddy buddy” story with Heyward and his Braves pal DURING THE GAME??? While that all happened, Lester was facing like four batters (of course, 2 of them hit HRs), with half a picture and no game sound. Save this shit for the pregame or some other programming, not while the game is going on. Fuckheads.

This really is a continuation of the Hell that was the end of last season. Wily just whiffed on an 87 mph fastball right down the dick. How in the hell do you miss that? That is a bp fastball asshole.

Heyward hits a lot of infield pop-ups with runners on base. He over compensates with his goofy arms not extended swing.

I'm torn with the Braves Indian thing. I'd get rid of the tomahawk on the uniform. But, I'd bring back Chief Knock a Homa.

Any thoughts on Cleveland’s Indian caricature?

He's grounded into 5 DPs this year. Mid season form already.

Fuck this bullpen!!!

Just give up the fucking Slam and be done with it...it's going to happen.

At least I started Camargo in my league tonight knowing full well who he was facing.

I don't think I need to convince/remind you all that I'm at the lead of the "hold yourself ... it's very early in the season" crowd or the like.

With that said .... what in the ever-lovin' fuck is going on with this outfit??? I'm gettin' pretty friggin' twitchy, particularly for April 3rd.

At least Joe is going to give the pen a good month until reacting to their horse shit performances. Half these guys should not be on a big league roster. How do you let a guy walk the first 3 batters? He was no where near the plate on his first 7 pitches.

yeah it is quite something.

Scary thinking they are going to Milwaukee.....they could put themselves in a terrible situation for the division.

I hope the Brewers shove it up their ass and then some. Theo helped create a great team, but made some horrible fuck ups along the way and now is making awful move after move after move.

At least they have Bote locked up.

If Maddon benches Schwarber tomorrow, he might be launched by the weekend.

Back in the old country, we think it's pretty dopey to wish that your team loses. I prefer to hope they win every game they play.

Not when you have a flawed roster. Theo an Jed said they would (within reason) blow this thing up and re-shape it if they weren't world series contenders come July. That bullpen was trash before spring training started, it was trash when it ended and its trash now and they aren't going to do a damn thing about it. There are 2 guys worth anything in the pen and one of them walked the entire team tonight and the other one is probably still hurt.

Or ... and work with me on this one ... if they get it together and start winning like they should, then everyone is happy again.

I'm getting old and forgetful, but aren't you one who shows up to threads when the Cubs are losing to shit all over them but disappear into the mist when things aren't dreadful? Could be someone else, not sure.

The real javy showed up today

I'm around for whatever games I am around for. Could be wins, could be losses. I tend to pile on when they play like a dumpster fire.

Even if most of the pen pitches to their career stats, they are not very good. That is very concerning. I have seen this movie before. If they weren't going to build a competent pen then they should have just let the kids in AAA and AA start coming up just like the Brewers did and see what happens. If it takes a few losses to accelerate that process then so be it. I want them to win, but I want them to win 90+, not the 75-80 they might with this crew.

This thing is close to being over in week 1. If Ricketts really cared, he would be on the phone telling Theo fuck money, bring in everyone you can for this bullpen. I wouldn't trust Theo to make the right moves, but it's just money.

Theo should honestly be fired for this mess. He has a bullpen everyone knew was bad going into the season, and did nothing to improve it, His big ticket RF is useless. He can't hit and had a error today, what's the point. Chatwood is wasting a roster spot. Yu is a mental midget. He better pray that he looks good tomorrow, or this will really get bad. Theo can blame Joe all he wants, but he has assembled this shit show.

I would maybe give Jed some money and tell Theo to go get some coffee for the front office.

He has pissed away probably 300 mil over the next 6 or so years.
