Jim Johnson has made 15 straight scoreless appearances and you don't think he has any value?

Unless they can get a catcher or a controllable big league reliever it seems very doubtful they will try to do anything to make this team better.

All these trades will be to continue to build the system.

I still can't believe Avilan survived last season.

Probably my least favorite player on the team.

I bet that home run made some posters here happy.

Your knowledge of all things baseball is amazing to me. I'm truly blessed to bask in it.

We really should have two ATL threads. One for normal fans and one for Crimsonian, LSUsmartass, and DaleMurphy to take nonsense.

The nonsense actually comes from the rest. You guys don't even care about the game, which the daily thread is about.

I said multiple times before the season that we were going to be much better than most believed, but I'm also a realist. And don't shove it down people's throats.

Getting caught stealing down 1 run in the 9th is unacceptable

I think right now they're just trying to collect as many assets as possible (specifically starting pitching). Anyone who does not look like a long term solution/option will be used to collect controllable assets.


I think that was the plan at the beginning of the year, but right now, we're only what 4 games out of the division and 3-5 in the WC. Our biggest problem has been the bullpen, and now we're getting some help back there. I think they'll stand pat for a while before trading anyone. and I highly doubt they move Julio or Jose even if they do go into sell mode.

We are better than I thought we would be for sure.

We're still 5 games behind last year's pace though. And we won 79 last year.

I think we could be good enough for a WC spot next year and very, very good the year after that.

Selling our vets and finishing with a top 10 pick (which would allow us to sign a FA without giving up our pick) likely helps us out the most going in to next year. If acknowledging that somehow makes me a bad fan in the eyes of people like crim, so be it.

Right now we have a 3.9% chance of making the playoffs. Don't think those odds are enough to divert us from our plan.

Agree on Julio. Wouldn't surprise me at all if Peraza's traded.

Know who else should be fricked right in the pussy?

Luis Avilan.

He's got a huge one this year.

I didn't get to watch the game. Did Julio look as good as his numbers? I have a hard time believing he went 7 and gave up no runs on the road AND withouth Beth.
