I hate that we’re the ones bringing the Buccos down. Those fans deserve to see good baseball. I didn’t feel bad for them in ‘91 and ‘92, but…yeah, I do now.

Talking about the Pirates defense being poor. In my observation, Neil Walker has demonstrated small range and has allowed several balls to trickle through in to RF that many other second baseman probably turn into outs.

Early in the season, our problem was getting runners on base. But we were pretty good at driving them in once they got on, one of the best in the league if I remember correctly.
Now it seems as though we are getting runners on all the time, yet are unable to drive them in at all.
It would be nice if both facets would start clicking together.

Their GM needs to stop holding onto every ounce of prospects he has and make a move to let the fan base know they’re serious about this year. They probably won’t get far but it’s extremely apparent they need a bat in the worst way.

“no way Wren would ever have Furcal back, and he stinks as bad as Gonzo this year too”
Furcal is having a career worst year and his OBP is STILL higher than Gonzo.
“Najeh has been going hard at Gonzo and deservingly so.
Who is his comparison on the Hawks? Josh Powell?”
If Josh Powell inexplicably got 20 minutes per game and the Hawks had traded Horford to get him, he would be a good comparison.

Gentlemen?
I believe that the Braves could get not only Quenton; but also, the reliever Sales from the White Sox. I realize that Sales is not having a great year; however, he is young and could be the help that is needed. I suggest that Sales will be a big asset in the pen for the next several years. It seems that the manage has given up on the kid….just thinkin’
