Alex Anthopoulos was asked about only adding Tyler Mahle…. He condescendingly deflected the question claiming- “it didn’t make any sense.” I thought it made perfect sense, what do you guys think?

Shout out to @Jesus_Cano88 for asking the questions us fans wish we could ask AA lol

He is worthy of the follow and sub guys! He also posts a lot of his content for free including a great article this morning

@Jesus_Cano88 The question was perfectly clear. AA knows this too but his arrogance won’t let him accept it. Also, you absolutely do have to sometimes make moves based on what your opponents are doing. Insane to state otherwise. The Braves don’t exist in a vacuum.

@Jesus_Cano88 He said it didn’t make sense then answered it 😂

@Jesus_Cano88 What an absolute ass. Rather than answer the damn question, he talks down to the reporter and tried to make them feel stupid. Then gives his canned ass response. Fire this guy to the moon

@Jesus_Cano88 Dismissing the quality of the question was embarrassing

@Jesus_Cano88 He just got his feelings hurt that someone called him out for not doing his job.

@Jesus_Cano88 He definitely was caught off guard

@Jesus_Cano88 Alex’s answer doesn’t make any sense. The question made perfect sense. The question wasn’t whether he is worried about what the Padres are doing. It’s how do you justify not doing anything when the Padres did more with less? He could have been flustered by the validity of the ?

@Jesus_Cano88 EXACTLY

@Jesus_Cano88 We appreciate you @Jesus_Cano88. Sorry the GM is a narcissistic douche

Hey I don’t “understand the question” but I’m going to answer it perfectly, but not before I try to insult you or belittle your intelligence. He’s obviously upset that he couldn’t get some guys we wanted in a pretty brittle market for a coke and a gift card to the clubhouse shop. @Braves get this cancer out of our system.

@Jesus_Cano88 If the Braves win the World Series, AA should be respectfully fired. If the Braves lose in the playoffs, AA should be shamefully fired Regardless if Jesus comes back tomorrow, AA should still be fired!

@Jesus_Cano88 Question pretty well worded. Just hurt his ego

@Jesus_Cano88 He stated his goal was to win the division and make the playoffs. He has wasted his core prime by not going for the World Series again

@Jesus_Cano88 It's not that he got Mahle. It's that he ONLY got Mahle for SP

@Jesus_Cano88 He understood the question, he just didn't like the question!

@Jesus_Cano88 What's really pissing me off now is this: he was all in on deGrom, which means he knew he needed a quality starter. Now that he failed to acquire one, he's acting as if it wasn't really a need at all. Fuck this guy, man. If we don't win a playoff series then he's gotta go.

@Jesus_Cano88 He thinks this fanbase is a just a bunch of dumb rubes. He might as well just say it. The Mahle deal started as a call for Webb or Ray. He heard the price and said “what can I get for …?”

@Jesus_Cano88 When I like to make a argument about AA, I simply point out his words from last November that his number one priority was to get a number two starter to put behind Chris sale for the playoffs

@Jesus_Cano88 AA talks like a crooked politician.

@Jesus_Cano88 You’re hoarding money…just be honest man that’s all we ask. You’re not from here you have no idea what this franchise means to the ENTIRE southeast.

@Jesus_Cano88 Dude believes fans are morons, generally they are, but when you get these type of visceral reactions across the board you’ve dropped the ball

@Jesus_Cano88 Alex knows he botched the trade deadline, and he knows his job may be on the hot seat after this.

@Jesus_Cano88 this pissed me the hell off. so he’s a fucking idiot bc that question was very clear. notice the goal is “winning the division and making the postseason” NOT winning a world series

@Jesus_Cano88 Thank you @Jesus_Cano88 for asking the tough but real question Alex needed to answer. I’m sorry he was condescending in his response but I appreciate your candor and having the guts to ask him what fans want to know. Keep up the good work!

@Jesus_Cano88 AA becomes more unbearable by the day

@Jesus_Cano88 @Jesus_Cano88 you’re the fucking GOAT bro never stop pressing this clown

@Jesus_Cano88 Oh, but Alex, what other teams do absolutely impacts us. We will see these guys in October. They got better, we have Sale and a bunch of 4-5 guys after that.

@Jesus_Cano88 He acted confused then gave a sideways arrogant answer bc he knew what he meant by the question. Get this ass turd out of Atlanta, good lord he’s a clown

@Jesus_Cano88 GOOD QUESTION

@Jesus_Cano88 Yiou can tell he's not use to being asked hard hitting questions.

@Jesus_Cano88 “I don’t understand the question”…proceeds to fullly answer the question like a douche…

@Jesus_Cano88 680 is worthless

@Jesus_Cano88 I just want to know if his bosses handcuffed him or if he is just that bad at his job

@Jesus_Cano88 Losing respect every time I hear him

@Jesus_Cano88 But he did nothing... at all! That's the point of the question. His shaky voice when he responded says a lot. I'm not into bashing AA, or what the Braves have on the field now, but we've been talking about pitching for so long now that it's crazy not one strong SP was picked up.
