Sorry if this has already been posted. I looked around but didn't see anything. Anyway, I think Hanson is starting to feel the pressure of having to pitch well to stay in the rotation.

"Gonzalez said Hanson uttered an obscenity at him and pitching coach Roger McDowell after they told him the plan."

LOL, and we do the same with the way Hanson has been pitching of late.

LOL, so true.

He should have seen it coming after what the Braves did to Parrish and JJ. The Braves FO is clearly showing that they aren't in the business of letting struggling players find their way during the season.

Either get on the wagon Hanson and know your role, or jump off.

Know your place in the long line Tommy, behind Sheets, Medlen, Maholm, Timmy and Minor

Amen, It wouldn't bother me to see him go.

Team player?

The way they are playing now, they sure as heck do not need any turmoil. Hope he has a great rehab start and we trade him.

What? Uggla. Minor. JJ got plenty of chances.

GET THE F OVER IT OPIE!

you not too good to be sent down. get off your high horse!
i am so proud of this. we not keeping you around if you not cutting the mustard! it happened to JJ and it needed to happen to you. i mean in case you didn't know, Hanson... we have a division over here that we are trying to win. we can't be doing that with you walking batters left and right and giving up runs constantly. so f'n deal with it.

get right and you can be back. JJ got the same treatment and you deserve the same. blow it again and you gonna get sent down again. we don't have multiple games to waste on you.

in the meantime we got us a good rotation going. Medlen is much better than Hanson. don't like that fact Opie? then it is up to you to change it. at this point Hanson and Minor is fighting for the last spot.
Until Hanson shows us different... he is our 5th starter at best.

When he stops trolling other boards (nats, astros, etc).

hate? venom?

no im calling it like it is. if he doesn't like being sent down and wants to whine then he needs to fix it.
JJ was a ace and he got sent down for A LONG TIME. Hanson isn't anything special. you not cutting the mustard when we already maxed at pitching... then of course you getting sent down. nothing hard to understand about it. it may have hurt his ego but he'll get over it and hopefully man up and fix things. and if he can't then he can't. <shit happens.

lol mf

What I don't understand is Hanson is not being sent down because he's struggling. He is being sent down just for a rehab start. I really think the attitude is because he's feeling the pressure and knows it's time to perform if he's going to stay in the rotation.
