PrintI didnt actually think reading about the Braves tonight was going to make me feel better, but I was cracking UP at this... LOL!!!! This is classic - from the same mailbag about the Tex trade:
Manny Acosta and Blaine Boyer are still learning and that's why they're taking their occasional lumps in some pressure situations.
Oh, occasional lumps? Like, "occasionally" Acosta gets a strike? Or like FYF "occasionally" strikes out with men on?

That's a polite way of saying...
...that Boyer really shits the bed in a jam. Acosta just sucks.

Not Acosta
Acosta is technically a rookie because he only pitched 23.2 innings last year/wasn’t on the roster for more than 45 days when the 25 player limit was in effect (see below). I think…
A player shall be considered a rookie unless, during a previous season or seasons, he has (a) exceeded 130 at-bats or 50 innings pitched in the major leagues; or (b) accumulated more than 45 days on the active roster of a major league club or clubs during the period of a 25-player limit (excluding time in the military service).

Ok, so he’s technically a rook . . . I’ll admit that. But give me a break, it’s not like he hasn’t played pro baseball for awhile now.
Boyer and Acosta both looked solid...
They kept it close for three innings.
