So far that trade is working as poorly as I envisioned…we must have gotten AGon for his .161 post season average

Venters’ spikes would’ve deflated him.
The birth of Jason Heyward was God’s punishment for the sins of the people in New York and Philly.

Does it matter??
If he’s in the clubhouse advising these guys and playing cheerleader for the rest of the season, it wouldn’t hurt us too much. Our offense doesn’t revolve around him like it used to.
yea
our offense gets that much better. Chipper is a great mentor but I would to see him playing and producing
I respect Chipper greatly
He’s a HOF, and he’s had a great career. I’m just indifferent to him and his production. Having Heyward pound the ball around the field is more important at this point, and getting some production out of the OF & SS.

Braves have not one but two special assts at Marlins game, Jim Fregosi and Dom Chiti. Cody Ross as CF possibility seems the likely interest

HA, I am watching from San Diego....
The announcer just said, Brian the Cannon, in reference to him having an arm, and said it like that is his nickname normally.
This was an unusual game for McCann, and I’ve definitely not heard him called Brian the Cannon…..well….EVER.
He has another game like this and I'm down.....
But he hasn’t earned that one yet.
