I agree HEARTILY on two of your comments. First, give Jimmy Baseball his op. Rid yourself of the $20MM/year IR project. Second, Riley has gone from pitiful to disgusting: and its not his fault. The Braves need to sit him. GET DUBON to 3rd. But for goodness sakes, DO SOMETHING!!
With all due respect Lindsay, we know exactly what to do with Riley. At the very least he needs to be benched. I don’t care how much he’s being paid. AA and Weiss are just making the horrible decision to give Riley that extension even worse by playing him. At his point I’d DFA him or give up a prospect if someone would take on his contract. Of course no one stupid enough to do that……except AA of course. It infuriates me every time I hear Mastrionne say Riley has to play third due to the contract. No he doesn’t!!!! It’s not fair to the rest of team and certainly not fair to us fans. We all deserve better. What more do you have to see? He’s been in decline for 5 straight years!!! This isn’t just some mid season slump. Can all of you beat reporters just state the obvious please? If enough pressure is applied maybe this black hole will finally be taken out of the lineup. Enough is enough.
I agree Jarvis should be THE SS at least for this month. I loved watching Nick Allen play SS and Jarvis looks similar plus he could well hold his own with the bat. He brings some refreshing energy this team needs!
I thought Young, again, was good in relief and Mederos did well - a guy out of the pen who shows some serious velocity. Other than Didier, the Braves don't seem to have many big arms. I hope we see more of Mederos.
Lindsay, please tell me why the Braves apparently aren't interested in pursuing Joe Ryan as an SP upgrade.
I almost forgot what winning a series felt like!
