I blame LM and McGuirk. They've set a standard of cheap assedness that the rest of baseball is following. My understanding is that LM has no input into Braves spending. |

My understanding is that LM has no input into Braves spending. I will never buy that they have NO input They might not make day to day baseball decisions, but it makes no sense they do not put guidelines on those in the loop Its a real estate deal for them & the objective is pair down the construction cost debt & make do with a mediocre budget Some do make excuses for them, so be it. Its their team, their real estate business and they can operate it the way they want, and in the meantime we might have a short run of competitive baseball, if the Royals can win one under David Glass who has a worse reputation for cheapness then LM, it can happen to anybody if all works out right in a given year |

Just listened to AA's bullshlt at the MLB site. He's so full of it, he should get into politics. I'm really getting tired of listening to his canned bullshlt. I'm just ready for the season to get started so he'll shut up. A puppet. That is all.

I'm just ready for the season to get started so he'll shut up. A puppet. That is all. I don't think he will be long for this organization He is a good baseball man, but he cannot overrule Mc Guirk and the shirts at that level My gut feeling is that he will be on his way out and to another organization that is run as a baseball team, not a real estate business which is what the Braves are part of now And I NEVER buy that the owners have ZERO input in the business side of the team. The baseball side of course you don;t want your owner making baseball decisions. But don't insult my intelligence they have no input on budgets Most of the fan base and talking media are getting tired of the BS charade - LMC is mostly loathed in the metro area Some defend this BS as we well know |

Out of curiosity, what could AA have said that would have left you thinking anything different that what you currently think about him?

It's just a broken record that I'm tired of hearing more than anything. He makes big $$$ to spout the same old tired stuff. I get it. Doesn't mean I have to like it. I'm sure he's sick of it, too. |

Nothing, primarily because he hasn't DONE anything. All he's done is TALK about why he hasn't done anything. Like I said, I'm sure he's sick of it, too. You know, there's a reason why guys like Chris Sale and Madison Bumgarner make postseason headlines. It's because they're damn good. You don't find guys like that in the bargain bin. Therefore, all AA can do is try to justify not doing anything. |

You know, there's a reason why guys like Chris Sale and Madison Bumgarner make postseason headlines. It's because they're damn good. You don't find guys like that in the bargain bin. I know that. I'm just wondering what people expect AA to say. I'm not sick of it because I know why he has to say what he's saying. There are no easy answers, at least, there aren't any answers that people are going to accept, so he just has to keep repeating what he's been saying. I suppose he could say, "Look, we wanted to spend money this year, but we can't afford to spend stupid money. We don't have an unlimited payroll. So, while we can shop down any aisle, we have to make deals that work for our franchise for today, next year, three years from now, and seven years from now. And the same goes for our trades. We have a lot of really good young players, who we think will be able to contribute to the Major League roster, sooner rather than later. We're excited about what they can do. We don't want to see the fruit of their development being enjoyed on other teams. We like what we have. Like I said, if opportunities arise where we believe we can make the team better, today and for the future, we will make it happen. Until then, we ask the fans to be patient. We hear you and if there is one thing I'd say to them it's that we're not looking to build a one-hit wonder. We're working hard every day to build a dynasty." |
