GDT: 8/8 - Braves vs. Phils 7:35 Suntrust Park

That curve is devastating if controlled

At this point I would rather just eat the remaining $30MM on Teheran's contract than trade him away for pennies on the dollar.

It's not penny's on the dollar if he just sucks. It's letting someone else pay for a negative contract.

I'm not convinced that he "just sucks" (for all eternity) yet. I'd rather try to allow him to recuperate some semblance of value, and then trade him, rather than trade him strictly for salary relief. His contract isn't inhibiting (especially if the Braves buy out his 2020 option at $1MM).

Julio is not likely to improve much.

He isn't that good of a pitcher. Many of us on this board were screaming to trade him last July.

But the John's know best

This. ALL DAY LONG.

At this point, the only reason to watch these games is to see the young guys. I hope we get to see Swanson, camargo, Albies, fried, etc. Watching the this team lose while playing Phillips, Markakis, and kemp just sucks

Get ready for 2018!!!! Where Kemp and Markakis will be right where they are now

Love the late movement in fried's fastball

For the accolades our farm system gets, we haven't had 1 player since the rebuild as good as Herrera

Neither has the Phillies farm. He's basically their version of Inciarte. Came from Rangers is rule 5, much like Ender was for Zona where he was under used.

2-10 vs phillies... yes, we need snit back

I am actually a big fan of Snitker, but you make a good point.... how in the hell did we lose 10 to the Phillies... and, yes, I know our starting pitching has been beyond atrocious, but still.
That said, I maintain that given a real gun in a gun fight- and not the plastic spoon he was handed- that Snit knows what he is doing.

Super luck about Camargo. Looked way worse

[Deester11]

At least this forces this FO to stop being ignant. Use Albies and a lost Swanson and see what you have.

[msstate7]

Phillies 41-69 (.373)

Braves 51-60 (.459)

Phillies are 10-2 vs braves. Take head-to-head out and...

Phillies 31-67 (.316)
Braves 49-50 (.495)

Just awful

[The Chosen One]

Commit to Snit!

[Hawk]

Commit Snit!
