2006 Atlanta Braves Discussion

[bravosfan]

Baez in trouble here in his Braves debut...

Nice job getting out of that mess.


EDIT: 4 hits for Aybar.

Braves lose, though.

First time the Mets have swept a 3-game series in Atlanta since 1985...

Crap.

This upcoming week is make or break right here. Three against the Pirates, and three against the Reds.

This is HUGE.

I say we need to get all 6 to be in decent shape.

[TheMatrix31]

Anything less than 4 and we're done.

We need to be within 4 by August 15.

[bravosfan]

I still think we have a good shot. We've got to start playing better at home, though, that's where most of our remaining games are...

Should still have some flexibility within the budget... Not really expecting much, but I'm hoping Schuerholz gets us a starter and maybe a right-handed bat off the bench tomorrow.

[TheMatrix31]

This upcoming month is very "do-able" as far as scheduling goes, we gotta convert on every series, that's for sure.

Any new rumors on deals we might pursue?

I haven't heard anything serious since the Betemit deal, and nobody saw that one coming (not to the Dodgers, anyway). But that's the way Schuerholz works.

There's been some speculation about Tony Armas of the Nats, which doesn't really excite me... I imagine we've probably at least inquired about Mark Redman in KC.

There was some Maddux talk recently, it's doubtful but I'd love to see him back in a Braves uni...

[TheMatrix31]

Mark Redman? Blah.

Greg Maddux would be great, but I dont want to pay too much for him.
