    For a minute there I thought we were going to have a 1st inning without giving up a run. Silly me.

    I'm not worried the Braves aren't looking very good, as a team and in the standings—I expected that, and I think it's ultimately a good thing, if building for 2018-19-20 is the real goal.

    What concerns me is that several of the veterans that the team needs to unload before the deadline for prospects are playing their way out of being valuable enough to trade for prospects.

    Yes. The Braves' suck pays no heed to time's wingèd chariot hurrying near you.

    Must be fun to have young pitchers who actually develop once they hit the major-leagues.

    Oh what could have been if Medlen, Minor, Beachy, Hanson, Venters all not had injury issues.

    I haven't been able to actually watch a game in several weeks. Watching Swanson at-bat is just sad right now.

    Braves have put themselves in a precarious and entirely self inflicted position with Swanson. They are caught between "how long can we keep him up without ruining him" and "will we ruin him if we send him down."

    He wouldn't be the first rushed star to flame out before they really got started. And that wouldn't be on Swanson IMO but the FO.
