I'm not sure if this tells us anything but 4 of the Braves' 8 losses have been extra innings, which means in 9 innings we are 11-4. One of those losses was the debacle 8th inning against the Cubs, so you could make the argument that the Braves have only been truly beat in 3 games (all against WSH). Pretty impressive.
If the Braves are going to be trading real, valuable assets, I’d rather see them pursue a starter and bump someone to relief than acquire a reliever (unless there are especially good deals in the latter market). Of course, I don’t think it makes sense to buy until the 2019 deadline, at the earliest, if there has to be some deadline acquisition happening.

It’s 2018. Mlb teams can’t look at the radar and call games in the morning?
Today was cancelled much quicker than I remember the Braves doing, actually. Usually, they're very stubborn compared to other teams.
Honestly, the radar actually had a dry slot early on in Alabama, but it started to fill in and then it looked like no way at all.
This would've been a good weekend to do a DH, because the forecast was obvious beforehand and there was a high chance on rain.
Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
