And the bullpen comes in and blows the shutout. I won't be surprised if they manage to lose the game. But they didn't. Hard to believe we're still in it after this horrible stretch. Can we turn it around? No, seasons over. Stop even coming to the ballpark

I'll say this for AA. He's picked up a couple of guys that might be able to help us for nothing.

Brach and Venters can help. now can we finally say adios to Sad Sam Freeman AA tries and inspite of what he is being allowed to spend he is trying to do something to salvage what has been a pretty good yr -- AA might win in spite of ownership

Must win today -- and Newcomb comes through -- last 2 games he is back to being the real thing
Now they have to win this series vs the Fish -- will help if Boston can take care of Philly
Now if we can get Teharan more consistent (wishful thinking) and Folty deeper in the game and back and they might get things right again
Today is great -- they are not BUMS anymore

I think most Braves fans agree with how AA has gone about this. We're not at all-in level yet. He knows it, and most of the fans know it. The window is just opening for the Braves.

What a performance by Newcomb today, against one of the best offenses in baseball and maybe the hottest.
F*** you Chris Taylor you peckerneck.

This is the worst team we're going to have for the next 5-8 years, and maybe beyond that if we draft well and make smart moves along the way.

If we can somehow manage to have about 75% of our pitching staff be homegrown, we could put together some seriously good teams over the next decade or so. I think that's the key. Pitching is so volatile and so expensive at the same time, that going in the market to get it can really damage your future if you have even one really bad signing.

I have absolutely no problem with how Alex has done things -- Liberty well, that is another thing though you have their apologists on this board AA cannot spend or go all in what his bosses do not allow him to do Will know more this off season

Yikes, I just looked it up, Moylan's walk rate is 5.72 per 9 innings and Freeman's is 6.13, so Brach will have to pick that up a bit!

Not too bad and certainly worth what they gave up. He's only 32 so maybe 3-4 more years if he can stay healthy. ERA's in the low 2's to low 3's the last 5 years before 2018, more K's than IP, 2016 All Star, less than one hit (.8)/IP, avg 4 BB per 9 IP lifetime, not particularly good but better than what we have, 1.27 lifetime WHIP. A change of scenery may help too. www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/brachbr01.shtml

So he averages 1 walk every two innings. We just need to only pitch him 1 inning at a time and make sure it's the right one of the two.
