The one play Ender made was a tough play in that he and Nick got there at the same time and he was able to maintain concentration in spite of it and make a good play on it. Not what you think of necessarily as a great play but when you watch it closely it was a damn tough play that most outfielders probably don't make. Nick's play was routine. "The one play Ender made was a tough play in that he and Nick got there at the same time" Was that in the bottom of the 9th. I thought that was earlier. I think it was the 8th, but the point is that it was likely a game saving play. A defensive center fielder as good as Ender is a valuable player even when the offense is sub-par. I keep thinking his offense will improve, but so far it's been streaky at best. The fact is, 2017 was a career year for him offensively. He'll probably never do that again. We can't trade him until we have a good replacement, though. His defense is too important. |

We do have a good replacement.
Ronald Acuña, Jr
I love Ender and want him to succeed here but cheese and crackers man, it seems sometimes like he's swinging while being afraid to hurt the ball
if he makes contact. When he does make contact it's as if he hit the ball with a pillow.

NO...it's a joke! Just teasing FUM! Ok, I just wanted to clear up what we were talking about when we start talking about my mom's "basement."
I don't keep up with all the modern day lingo, so I wasn't sure.  |

Ender has a 1.0 WAR right now. As good as he is defensively, we could do quite a bit better with the money and prospects we have, in terms of getting a better overall player. He's been a 2.4 to 3.2 WAR player each of the previous three seasons. I agree with using Acuna in CF, and then a guy for LF that's a better overall player than Inciarte. Ender has a career 94 wRC+. That's worth noting.

And you guys leave Ender Alone!!!!! it is your fault he is struggling !!!! Ender read the old board and saw where you guys said all his singles wasn't important. That he needed to hit more Doubles and HoMERS.And as a Result, he is trying to hard to be Barry Bonds... I so hope he doesn't find this board If he does he will start using roids like bonds to increase his exit Velocity. I blame all this on Nightman. lol

Atlanta Braves @braves
The club also optioned RHP Matt Wisler to Triple-A & placed RHP Peter Moylan on the 10-day DL with a right forearm strain. Reed will wear No. 57.
