He and I have shown that on copious amounts of times, you're an imbecile. It's that simple.

Congrats on being the keyboard warrior on this forum.  Hope you give yourself a medal for it lol.

The Braves are stacked when fully healthy. No doubt about that.

But in typical AA fashion he has failed to build any sort of bench whatsoever. I don't know if he just doesn't believe in bench players or what but in his 10+ years an MLB GM that guy has never once had an even average bench. You almost couldn't build worse benches if you tried. It's crazy.

Yeah its not that strong of a bench at the moment.

Drake Baldwin is their No. 1 prospect. A tandem of Murphy & Baldwin behind the plate is pretty good.

Nick Allen was a bench guy but all of a sudden took over the starting shortstop gig since Arcia sucks haha. Kelenic should be a 4th OF when everyone is healthy, and yeah he's still young enough where you hope he can figure things out. Eli White and De La Cruz both suck and are going to hurt you more than help when they're in the starting lineup.

Yeah and this lineup in particular is ass with those guys missing.

Imagine both Vladdy and Santander missing from the lineup. Sure it would be ass as well lol.

I'm just tee-ing them up for you Org.

I appreciated the alley oop there. Or more topically, the clean flip to second.

We did it boys. Took all night but we finally got a Braves fanboy to finally admit that their lineup is ass tonight. 

[Jays24]

Straw doing what straw does!  Got bored so thought he'd play around with the ball lol.

[Orgfiller]

Myles Straw showing insane range there, happy to have him as the backup.

I mean when a lineup is losing three key players like Acuna, Ozuna and Profar. 

At least the Braves still have a middle-of-the-order with Riley and Olson. You take Vladdy and Santander out of the lineup, looks even worse lol. 

[Jays24]

Dammit Green, this was setup so easy for you

 

[Jays24]

Never in doubt lol

Schwellenbach looked incredible, Cy Young good, and then he suddenly lost his command and some velo. Starting hanging and spiking his breaking balls and missing left to right with his fastball. 

Maybe he came out too hot.

Strider tomorrow. Have to make him work. Don't be too aggressive.

Yeah we need to get Strider's pitch count up so he leaves after 5. If we can tag him for a run or two and Bassitt keeps us in it through 5 we've got a great shot.

Yimi-Hoffman tandem will be available and with the offday on Thursday we can expect to see them if it's close.

Great game tonight! Nice to see the power starting to come.

And the catalyst for the collapse was Kylometres Straw working a walk from down 0-2 in the count. Battled some foul balls, took some close pitches, and really tired the pitcher out. He wasn’t the same after, gave up the HR to Roden and multiple hard hit balls in a row.

Yeah great pitchers duel for the first four innings. Gausman looked great with swing & miss stuff.

Great big inning by the Jays in that 5th inning to score 5 runs. Thanks to the long ball, which is what this lineup needs more of! We saw it make a difference tonight. Gave the bullpen some cushion as well. If the Jays were just scratching singles, likely a 4-3 or 3-2 win or game could have been tied.
