GDT 8/10/2015 Braves (Wood) vs Nats (Gonzalez) 8:00 EDT

I believe we have to face Correia, Haren, and Roberto Hernandez in the first 3 games of the Dodgers series. Grienke Thursday.

As far as match ups go, we couldn't have asked for a better draw.

You forgot Ryu, he's slotted between Haren and Roberto. Mattingly's giving Correia a spot start and the other guys an extra days rest, so we miss Kenshaw and Grenke unlss he changes his mind.

That is why Mel better find himself or else we may be forced to deal both of them. Just make Jason an offer he can't refuse and deal both their surly butts if necessary.

I wish the Braves could work out a deal to trade the Uptons to Texas for Adrian Beltre. It would probably take additional players. Beltre is getting older but can still hit. Put Cunningham in CF and Peraza in LF (for the time being).

Why in the world would we want to get rid of Justin?

for a much older player nonetheless.

I am fine with Justin being aBrave, but many people here evidently think Justin would be upset if BJ were traded or cut. If so; would it be possible to trade them both to another team?

Tread water? We get Kevin Corriea and Roberto Hernandez in the Dodger series, and Hanley just went on the DL. Need to do better than tread water.

You do realize that the Braves have endured two long losing streaks this season. I would perfectly content if the Nationals lead stayed exactly where it is for the next week.

I suspect Justin will be a complete professional if someday the Braves part company with BJ.

That is based on absolutely nothing, it's just stupid speculation.
BJ's terrible play hasn't affected Justin.

I suspect Justin will be a complete professional if someday the Braves part company with BJ.

It would only be natural for him to have a biased view of the situation because it's family. I think he would say all the right things if it happened, but it could affect his desire to re-sign with the Braves. If he leaves I expect BJ to be released the day Justin signs with another team. If Justin re-sign then they release BJ I think he might get pissed.

Their track record together isn't exactly appealing.

Maybe BJ cussing Fredi last night live on ESPN didn't go over so well? Or maybe Fredi finally just cannot get away with continuing to bat him first? Whatever the case, he's batting 8th tonight: Braves lineup: Bonifacio 6, La Stella 4, Freeman 3, JUpton 7, Heyward 9, Gattis 2, Johnson 5, BUpton 8, Teheran 1

Looks like we miss Greinke and Kershaw.
