I know Fredi got a contract extension just a couple of months ago through 2016, but I wouldn't be surprised if HartCop/Schuerholz/McGuirk dumped him just to make it look like they're busy sciencing the shit out of this. Will he be fireda. any minute nowb. at the end of 2015 seasonc. during 2016 seasond. after 2016 season?

@BenBadlerI love what the Braves are doing. MLB incentivizes losing. Collapsing for the No. 1 draft pick is the optimal strategy for them to rebuild.
might as well keep fredi until he has something to ruin, i suppose

Coppollela was in the barves booth the other night and Caray made a point of mentioning that the front office told Fredi that he and his staff are safe through 2016. I still think Fredi will be swept out before spring training 2017, but beyond that, dunno.

They are a much more entertaining team this way.

@ESPNStatsInfoShelby Miller: winless in 21 consecutive starts; 2nd longest single-season streak since 1920. Matt Keough had 23 in 1979 (via @EliasSports)
Miller's ERA is roughly half that of the 13-4 Drew Hutchison. WINS!

But does this shut the mouth of Joe Simpson, Advanced Metrics Hater? NOOOOOOOO

shelby in wins: 5-0, 1.29shelby in losses: 0-15, 4.30
he's been shelled in september, so the splits were once even more absurd. interstingly, his strikeout rate his significantly higher in losses

He's chewing gum right now, but I noticed last night and earlier tonight that Cameron Maybin fell off the no-tobacco wagon. It's tough.

Freeman's left the game, looks like the wrist again. Between his obliques and his wrists, I'm beginning to think he just won't be able to withstand the torque of his own swing.

Anybody who's ever driven the 285 loop knows this stadium has the potential to be one of the biggest fuckups in the history of sports venues.http://usa.streetsblog.org/2015/10/30/braves-stadium-relocation-shaping-up-to-be-a-disaster/

IANAEconomist but isn't the theoretical justification for taxpayer-funded stadiums that they stimulate the local economy? who is supposed to benefit from a stadium in the middle of suburbia besides the team itself? a nearby olive garden??
