Lotsa luck Shelby!
Hard to turn away from the Falcons to watch Shelby, but he's got it working today. AND he has a lead!

How was Heyward's ovation? Did all 2k people give him an ovation?
Forever Fredi
Garcia with 2 blasts.
Simmons' first homer since May(?!?!?). Don't let it end. More runs for Miller. More! More!
I'm happy for Shelby. He will end the season on a good note with a win!
Go Braves in game 2 and Go Rockies
First two runners reach in the ninth including an error by Simmons. Way to resurrect my nagging doubts about Shelby's starts, Braves.
Praises! Good so far.
Shelby and JT could be a decent 1-2 punch next year.

I can't believe Adonis has double-digit HRs.

It's likely that he drinks tigers bloodOriginally Posted by Julio3000
Both Kelly Johnson and Juan Uribe would have probably exceeded 10 HRs had the stayed with the Braves all season and as a result would have been #2 and #3 behind Freeman, but it is what it is. Curious to see if Adonis is a part of next year's plan in any way.
He's never really shown this kind of power before and his walk rate is pretty bad. With that being said he could be a decent bench option. Lord knows we've had worst the last few years.
I really, really hope Olivera gets a look a second in winter ball or Spring Training.
Based on what's been written, the only positions under consideration for Olivera are 3B and LF. He's really not looked good fielding the ball at 3B. To some extent, I buy into the theory that he's rusty. But the results have been bad enough that it's a real concern.
You have to think Adonis has earned himself a 40-man spot, and that was no sure thing a month ago. He too has fielding issues, but his lateral range has been surprisingly good at times.
I would prefer to have a higher draft pick, but we have seen a lot of promising developments the last Couple weeks with our young pitching and that trumps the marginal difference between having a draft slot one or two picks higher, IMO.

Can Wisler pitch well just for an old vet like Moylan to blow it?
Looks like we have 3 set starters for next season in Shelby, Julio, and wisler. 2 of Minor, FA, Perez, banuelos, and folty should round out the rotation
Yeah Shelvy, Julio, and Wisler could be a good top 3. Both Julio and Wisler have impressed latley and hopefully that continues. I think Minor should have the advantage over the rest of the in house options assuming the Braves really do keep him and he looks to be 100%. I think that is the Braves plan as I beleive they only want to go after 1 FA starter. Then you would have Banuelos and Folty ready if Minor isn't apart of the equation with the other going to the pen.
