Folty on the mound tomorrow vs garza. Gotta feel good about our sweep chances
If we avoid those silly losing streaks again we'll at minimum get a wild card spot. if we go on a run we are easily winning the division.
Sigh. If Fredi were manager we would have never had those losing streaks. We'd at minimum be second in division if not first.

Wish we could figure out what we are. Are we a .500-ish team, or what?
Five game losing streak, five game winning streak, six game losing streak, and a four game winning streak in our last 20 games.
It's been a strange start to the season.

I think now the question moving forward is was the offense in August/September of last year an aberration? Are we starting to see an continuation of it? If thats the case then some minor improvements to the bench and third base could result in a potential WC.

I am not that interested in Moose Tacoes. Flowers is going to require a significant contract if he repeats his solid 2016 over a large amount of at hate this year. Also a little worried about how effective Cabrera will be when he comes back. Hopefully I am wrong but he has never been a model of consistency. Would be a huge boost if he does. And so hope we keep Wisler in the ML pen.

Braves are going to have money to spend. The projection of amounts owed in 19 moving forward is minimal if the expectation is that young talent will continually populate the minor leagues. I'd love to have Flowers with the team for the next 3 years. HIs defense has been very good this year and he just always seems like a tough AB.
Cabrera will be asked to be a 6/7th inning man. Even with his inconsistency he will be better than 90% of pitchers are put into that same role.
Third base is the biggest hole in the organization right now. I think it will have to be answered for the next few years externally. Maybe SRod is good there next year. Even with that, the team needs to think about 19-21 as well when Maitain is finally here.

Solarte and Prado are a couple guys who might become available. They would be improve the situation at third without breaking the bank.
And of course ssolarte is still 29 so there is some hope that his performance is sustainable moving forward.
