Cabrera is garbage? That's news to me. Lackey is easily an improvement over Harang. I don't know what y'all see in our rotation, but I think we are pretty damn horrible. Minor and Harang give up so many runs that it almost wouldn't matter if the Braves put up 5-6 runs. They'd still find a way to lose the game. I'm just not confident in this teams' ability to make a deep run in the playoffs.

.270/.331/.410 with a 105 OPS+ for his career.

Just .246/.305/.386 with a 96 OPS+ this year.

He's not very good.

You think this is 2012 or something? Cabrera basically hits like Simba but plays crappy defense. He's hitting .246 with a .691 OPS and is a negative fielder. Maybe you wanna look up the players before you rant?

Cause seriously, what in the hell are you talking about? Harang is 9-6 with a 3.43 ERA, he's been one of the best starting pitchers we have. Now he's not who I would want headlining our rotation in the post season, but he's been an amazing 4th/5th starter. He's actually one of the main reasons we are only 1.5 games back in the division. Without him we'd really be up shite creek.

Minor on the other hand you are right, he's sucked. He should probably be replaced with Hale for now.

Our chance to make a deep run in the playoffs was lost when we had three separate starting pitchers go down for the season, not a damn thing the Braves can do about that. Most teams would be in the crapper after that happened, not fighting for first place like the Braves are.

Seventh best starters' ERA in baseball at 3.33

Harang has a 3.43 ERA. In July it's 2.65.

Again, the pitching is not the problem. They're pitching with absolutely no margin for error because the offense is terrible, so any mistake by a pitcher is magnified.
