GDT: Cubs @ Braves 7/17

[msstate7]

Few thoughts from tonight:

1. This is kinda where we are...not horrible but not great. We should be selling more than buying, but we should be in the wild card race next year.

2. Julio pitched ok. Yeah he struggled, but he gave up two runs against the Cubs at Suntrust....he's been giving up like seven here...I'll take it.

3. I think SRod came back too early, but why throw him in the fire tonight?? Lester has made everybody look bad.

4. Tonight is ok. We have overachieved , the Cubs have underachieved. Our records are close, but they are a way better team.

5. Kemp has a rocket arm.

6. Freddie is slumping...we might look to trade him.

7. Good to see Joe Simpson back.

8. Five, six and seven are jokes.

9. I would not be surprised if Dansby is moved in the right deal. Not saying I agree, but he is a big name that is expendable and he appears to be the odd man out right now.

10. Jon Lester made that look way too easy.

Now sure how Swanson is "expendable".

You really think Snit is sitting Swanson without the front a front office blessing?...I doubt it. I'm telling ya....I would not be shock at all if Dansby was added in a deal to get say Fulmer.

Krol needs to be gone

Freeman can probably play SS. He played there his entire little league career, and will likely catch everything he gets to.

Lol the Sox will trade a pitcher with 5 years of control for a SS with 5 years of control?

That's an interesting tactic for rebuilding haha

[TheBravos]

I'm not saying I'm in favor of that, I'm just saying some of you guys better prepare yourselves....it could happen.

Morris continues to impress.

I'm gonna need a break if we sell another SS.

If the FO endorses sitting Swanson, we need a new FO

7. Good to see Joe Simpson back.

I loathe Joe Simpson's broadcasts. However, after being stuck listening to a Cardinals broadcast in a bar earlier tonight, I can say he's at least far preferable to Tim McCarver (who I honestly thought I remembered having passed away?).

Camargo

Lol.

It's way too early to give up on Swanson.

[Enscheff]

Good wake up call today. We can't beat this team to get to the playoffs. We rushed SRod and we see how that's turning out. Dbacks added a great bad. Hopefully our FO sees that snit is hurting our long term by sitting Swanson. Johns, do you really wanna mortgage the future more in the hands of snit?

I'm ok with keeping what we have and let them sink or swim, but heck no to buying if it costs us Albies. Oh and coppy needs to tell snit that Swanson is gonna play 5 games a week or we'll find a manager that will play him

You were able to assertain all that from a single 4-1 game?

[msstate7]

Please tell me matt Adams is on deck.

[msstate7]

And even more... want to read my blog? Haha

[Enscheff]

It's way too early to give up on Swanson.

Agreed. We are lucky his career wasn't cut short by a high school shoulder injury. We have already lost too much generational talent to those injuries!!

"Jim Johnson getting up in case the Braves take the lead." - Chip Caray in the bottom of the 9th. Good lord.

[msstate7]

Nice to see kemp hitting again

[msstate7]

Pulling Adams back... don't like. DP coming

[CrimsonCowboy]

This team does not quit.
