GDT--Sat, 6/30 vs Cards

[TURBO]

[Heyward]

I understand this all generally works itself out... I really do.

But am starting to see quite a logjam here with near-mlb ready pitchers:

You've got the locks:

Newcomb
Folty
Soroka

Then you've got the high upside arms who appear to be near ready if not ready:

Gohara
Fried
Allard
Wright

You have someone like Touki who could be knocking on the door by 2020.

Plus you have Teheran under contract. And I contend Wisler would be a very servicable #5.

That's 9 guys there. I'd love to be able to dump Julio, and you can always count on an injury or two and a flameout... but it is a bit of embarrassment of riches.

Of course, this could all be solved with a couple trades, but I'm having a hard time seeing the natural path to regular big league innings for the deserving kids

I've said many times i have to think we cash in those chips, but im not really sure for who.

Hopefully a Yelich situation pops up this winter. Brad Hand would be a great addition as well.

If we add a third baseman it will probably take away from Swanson's AB's more than Camargo's since Camargo is hitting better and has shown he can handle short without costing you runs. Swanson would still play pretty regularly either way with his improved defense.

Doubtful

[CyYoung31]

God dammit. ****ty pitchers ruining shutouts again.

[jpx7]

Wisler couldn’t help himself.

[Braves1976]

hopefully we can sweep tomorrow with the yankees and brewers next week

[depley]

Fried hook is nasty almost like Kershaw, just freezes you.

It is not that far from wrong, when drafted Kershaw was the one mentioned in comparisons

[Braves1976]

why throw to third there Acuna?

[UNCBlue012]

Oh... Wisler is just bad.

[USMA76]

why throw to third there Acuna?

Brain fart.

[CyYoung31]

Brain fart.

He has a lot of those.

[UNCBlue012]

We really needed him to finish this game off. But goodness.

[Braves1976]

Don't even think about warming up anyone else, not even Wisler can blow this lead. Just a bad inning.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Wisler irritates me

[Enscheff]

It is not that far from wrong, when drafted Kershaw was the one mentioned in comparisons

There are quite a few comments in this thread I look forward to quoting in the future haha

All the usual comments from all the usual suspects after a good game by a SP.

[msstate7]

We seriously have Sam freeman up? Damn

[UNCBlue012]

This makes me so mad. Just finish the easy win, dude.

[msstate7]

Snit is a damn retard

[Braves1976]

Freeman is up lol

[UNCBlue012]

Wait, freeman? Holy. Why? Poor dude’s arm is shot.
