    Sorry, but I'm not really comfortable with relying on hale. Maybe the braves front office is though. Idk well have to wait and see.

    My guess is Thomas will be stretched out to serve as a fifth starter if Harang continues to falter or some other injury crops up.

    Don't think so, I believe you will see a trade I don't know if it will be for a Price or Shark it may depend on whether or not Harang continues to regress, but rest assured Alex Wood will be back in the rotation.

    Curious as to why everyone is talking so bad about Harang yeah he has had a couple bad games but he deserves to keep his spot over Santana. Santana has been garbage and the day he walked I believe it was Napoli who was batting .167 with an 8 run lead and 2 outs I knew right then he has no idea what he is doing on the mound.

    Hopefully the offense can pick it up. With Floyd out our pitching is going to get even worse and it's been on a downward slide for some time now. Allowing more runs then we have scored we are pretty lucky we have owned the Nats to this point or we would be facing a big deficit. Need to get BJ out of the 2 hole ASAP and go with La Stella, Justin, Freeman, Gattis, Heyward if they are determined to keep La Stella #1.

    What sucks is their is likely no upgrades for the offense minus bench help which is a big need as well. The 3 laggards on offense BJ, Simmons, and CJ are all here for awhile. Not that you would replace Simmons anyways.

    This really sucks. I thought Floyd was going to be a hoss for us down the stretch. I feel bad for him and for the club.

    This is why depth is a good thing.

    It was Nava. But the reason everyone is more worried about harang is sample size and "stuff". Look what each guy did last year. Harang was terrible, while santana was above average. We all knew it was a matter of time before Harang turned back into a pumpkin and I'm afraid that time is rapidly approaching. There is a reason santana got 14× the amount of money.

    I said before the season that I thought Floyd would be awesome for us and until he left tonight, he was fantastic. I hope he's back quickly but it looks like we have work to do. Teheran, Minor, Santana, Harang, Wood. Though I do think that's solid, I don't think it'll cut it down the wretch.

    I'm really afraid Harang will post a 5+era from here out...

    What tough luck for Floyd. This was by far his most dominant outing yet, and in such a big game too.

    Paul Byrd. Interesting player. One of the few who came through Atlanta twice (fairly short stints both times). Looked at his career stats and didn't realize he won over 100 games in the big leagues and stuck around for 14 seasons. Braves just drafted his son in the 39th round of the June draft, but from all accounts, he's headed to LSU (Paul's alma mater).

    What a lot of Braves' fan remember Byrd for is the fracas he got in with Eddie Perez during the 1999 season. Byrd hit Perez with a pitch at one point in the game and when Byrd came up to the plate later to hit, words were exchanged between he and Perez, and all of a sudden hell breaks loose. It had been a very p*ssy game and Smoltz had just been ejected for hitting a Phillies' hitter. One of the hilarious things about the fight is that Byrd kind of curled up inside the pile-up and Eddie thought Byrd was seriously injured. Turns out that Byrd had turned to prayer in the midst of the scrum. Just an interesting little tidbit from Braves' history.

    that's almost a given. what I'm really afraid of is that Minor and Santana will continue to pitch like they have (badly). Then we really can't fix the rotation.
