The Braves support is strong on this forum.

Here's hoping the Mets and Phils underachieve by alot so the Braves get the division.

yup. Im sooo stoked this year though. First year ive been hyped for a new season since like 05

The Schafer era!

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #8 on:** April 04, 2009, 12:48:08 AM »

Only thing I'm honestly worried about is the bullpen. Rotation we have built in redundancy- as long as more than 2 starters aren't hurt at the same time we'll be fine. Like the lineup quite a bit, hope we don't throw Schafer out there to lead off to start tho. Let him ease into it, have KJ lead off at first.

if worse came to worse for the bullpen, we could pull hanson back up as a long reliever i'd think.

Grecco · « **Reply #10 on:** April 04, 2009, 01:00:24 AM »

the bullpen is fine, biggest problem is oflatery he freaking sucks

and the redundancy of bennet/carlyle/campillo

should have kept acosta imo.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #11 on:** April 04, 2009, 01:08:06 AM »

Acosta sucks too, tho. I agree that Bennet/Carlyle/Campillo are all basically the same guy, tho. I also would feel a lot better if we still had Will Ohman as our lefty but oh well.

As for bringing up Hanson and using him in long relief, I would rather not to be honest. At some point this season I fully expect one of our starters to get injured because if that didn't happen it just wouldn't be a Braves season. Hanson will get his shot. I would honestly like to see us trade Vasquez at the deadline if at all possible so that we can exercise Hudson's option for next season. If we have to choose between paying Vasquez or Hudson around 12 million next season that's a fucking no brainer as far as I'm concerned.

Grecco · « **Reply #12 on:** April 04, 2009, 10:27:17 AM »

Acosta was overused imo. When hes used sparingly hes good.

Well, then we're gonna need a new manager for him to be good, because if there's one thing Bobby loves more than platooning people it's riding bullpen arms into the ground.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #16 on:** April 05, 2009, 08:13:40 PM »

Yahoo finally put Smoltz and Ervin Santana on the DL, so in the league where I have poop for offense I picked up Todd Helton and Mike Lowell, both of which have had pretty good springs. Helton in particular raked this spring- hit nearly .500 with 4 hr and 16 rbi. So between them, Melvin Mora and Derrek Lee, hopefully I'll get lucky and someone won't suck cause my offense on that team basically consists of Jose Reyes, Manny Ramirez and spare parts.

siamesedreamer · « **Reply #17 on:** April 05, 2009, 08:35:17 PM »

Gotta love how the Yanks/ARod hate being out of the spot light so much they have to put out a presser saying he may be back!!! In like three weeks!!! Gawd I fucking hate that team.

What happened with Ichirou, DM? Doesn't he still play for the M's?

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #25 on:** April 05, 2009, 10:02:52 PM »

Ichiro still plays for the M's, but he's on the DL with a bleeding ulcer. Thus the thread title.

Ichirou is still a friendless lunatic with a persecution complex. Two completely different people.

Rman · « **Reply #26 on:** April 05, 2009, 10:08:48 PM »

That's weird. Wasn't he just playing in the WBC?

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #27 on:** April 05, 2009, 10:11:07 PM »

Yes, which probably gave him the ulcers. If Japan failed, his countrymen would stop sending him hello kitty panties and such.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #28 on:** April 05, 2009, 10:22:08 PM »

Wakamatsu is now saying that Ichiro will probably join the club on Saturday while they're in Oakland.

Fucking ESPN hack announcers. I was spoiled listening to Skip n Pete for all those years, sigh.

I know it's just one start and everything, but fuck AJ Burnett, glad we signed Lowe. 8 innings of shutout ball on opening day? Yes plz!

No shit. I think I like the Lowe Era a bit better than the Schafer Era right now.

Gonzalez was obviously trying to throw every pitch 110 mph. That's a guy we might need to feed a valium to right before we send him out there.
