Still gonna put him out there as a leverage guy, despite the rather atrocious 2 weeks worth of appearances.

Then he had two bad outings in a row, thus just repeating his pattern he’s always had and always will, he’s terribly inconsistent. And when he’s bad he’s really bad, and there’s a track record there that Snitker will still use him in high leverage spots.

I’m hoping that Chavez is now that guy … he’s actually getting the job done of late.

In this case, I'll defend Snit. • Luke can get on some bad runs, but also has good runs • Who the H else is there to turn to other than Chavez and Matzek who isn't consistently worse?

The opportunity a prospect gives you to develop something down the road is infinitely better than a couple of games in a 3rd place no playoffs season.

I totally agree with this. Snit has been criticized for some of his bullpen moves, rightly so, but there have been many, many times in which he has had little or no choice but roll the dice and hope for a good outing from the clown car that is this year's bullpen. Sometime it works out, some times not...which is one of the main reasons this team has hovered just under .500 all year. And I'm not sure picking up one arm, like Rodriguez from the Pirates, is going to make a significant difference.

The Braves need to make sure that whoever they pick up is controlled through next season, at the very least. If it's a salary dump situation, that would differ, of course, but we don't need any rentals.

I find it hard to blame Luke, or any pitcher for that matter, for the loss in the 2nd game. The only run that scored was a result of a routine ground ball to SS that became a hit because only one guy was on the left side of the infield. Add to that with TWO outs and that runner on 1st the outfield wasn't playing a no doubles defense. Heredia should have been deep enough to catch that ball easily. I think it hit short of the warning track. That was simply inattention to detail in a critical situation.

The opportunity a prospect gives you to develop something down the road is infinitely better than a couple of games in a 3rd place no playoffs season. And, how many times do you see a team sell off for a couple or three of mid tiered prospects who contribute next to nothing. Like the putrid Manny Machado return the Orioles got. Or, in our case that putrid return for Texiera from the Angels. Add Simmons to the Angels and for other trades, guys like Rio Ruiz, the Petersons, Luis Gohara, the list goes on. If you get the right prospect that is great but we have a list of bad prospects brought in Instead of two or three mediocre prospects how about the compensation pick you get after the first round. You can develop something down the road with your own. Teams are not generally going to give you their top tiered picks. And selling for scrubs prospects would make this more like 75-87 instead of 80 or 81 wins.

and what does 80 wins get you?
Nothing any different than 75, except maybe a worse draft pick.
Again... thank the gods our GM doesn't think like you. If he keeps Morton and Smyly it will be because he thinks we can win the division, not because he thinks we can get to 80 wins instead of 75.
