My kid told me he saw a photo with Jansen raising his arm up like pitcher's do when it's popped up...so he saw it, and reacted as I guess anyone would. That said, it was exactly what we needed at precisely the perfect time. For once, it happened for the Dodgers, not against them.
Not extending the guy then, imo, would be as fucked up a non move as they've ever not done...or done. And they would have saved money extending him, rather than dealing with his free agent asking price, too.
I wonder if the Bauer situation plays into it. If his suspension is upheld and we are free from paying him, there's 0 excuse we don't use that money on Trea.
I had a lot of fun just searching Jansen's name after the game last night and seeing a lot of negative tweets from Braves fans about him. Starting to think there is no winner in the Kimbrel/Jansen arguments. Braves/Dodgers could both do a lot better.
Because who else is his caliber player ? No one in baseball that we can lay our hands on for a loooong time.
Not for anything, but the dish of sweet revenge was served hardly cold at all. .. Well done, Bums. Jackie, Duke, Campy, et al, are all proud of you...
Incidentally... what was the final home plate umps pitch accuracy? I wouldn't be surprised if it was less than 90%
