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?

Harang give up so many runs that it almost wouldn't matter if the Braves put up 5-6 runs.

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.

Harang was amazing in his first 5 starts. Since then he has held a team to 0 runs one time. He's held a team to 1 earned run 3 times (including the shutout). Aside from that, it's been twos, threes, and fours. It's also not so much about giving up the earned runs over the course of the game it's the fact that he does it so early in the game. Now I agree that our bats are not where they should be, but it's hard to really want to fight for a guy when you are down 2-0 coming out of the gate. Too many things are going wrong for this team right now. I wanted more of a shakeup than what we saw. At least we still have time through the end of August to make another move.
