Seriously? You can’t tell? Jokes on you.

 

No, believe it or not, tone isn't always obvious on the Internet, but I already did suggest that as a possibility, so......

[Underachiever]

 

Shoulda sold high on Corbin.

Go back in time and trade him for Machado? I’m in.

[adambr2]

Stephen freaking Vogt, too.

[pacopete4]

These trades just aren’t working out.

The two relief pitchers have done nothing. Literally haven’t shown up.

 

Bunch of jerks not being there for their teammates.

[adambr2]

I know it doesn't work this way, but if I was guaranteed we'd have won the World Series that year like the Cubs did when they acquired Chapman, I'd probably still have done it.

The relief pitchers we traded for have “literally” had no chance to make it to Atlanta and join the team, seeing as they were acquired mere hours ago. There’s no need to pick up on tone. It was, quite obviously, sarcasm.

I am not sure I agree. Can two guys be a “bunch”?

[wibadgers23]

This guy has nasty stuff. How are the Braves only .500? I know Acuna has been out but man they look good otherwise.

[yfinn6]

Lets get a run or two this inning and have Corbin be worthy of not trading him in 2018 and get back into this one.

Dude. I didn't know if he was telling him that the guys hadn't shown up yet in a serious response to him saying the trades hadn't worked out, or if he was going along with his sarcasm. So yes, I misinterpreted the tone.

[Underachiever]

Good mic on that ump getting hit

[adambr2]

This guy has nasty stuff. How are the Braves only .500? I know Acuna has been out but man they look good otherwise.

 

That lineup is just stacked. With no Acuna. I agree, they should be better.

[adambr2]

Ugh.

Fire Snitker.

[PinaMadness]

Their bullpen isn't all that great and not a real closer.

[adambr2]

True. Probably the easiest part of the team to patch, though.

[Bulldogboy]

Why after all of the moves do I still have to watch JBJ?? Incredible.

[wOOgiE22]

Why after all of the moves do I still have to watch JBJ?? Incredible.

 

That’s because JBJ is a scrappy player and that’s what Counsell likes.

[wibadgers23]

Why after all of the moves do I still have to watch JBJ?? Incredible.

 

Because he makes a trillion dollars.

[Underachiever]

Yes, I was thinking we would have Escobar in left tonight. Thought he might replace Bradley.

[PinaMadness]

He's a gamer.

Gritty battler.

I grew up watching baseball in the Braves Bobby Cox era and it seemed like you could just basically pencil them in at the top of the division every single year.
