Our window of contention is NOW.
Freddie isn't getting any younger, JD may not be here next year, and the likelihood of any of our pitching prospects being a true ace is very slim.

I want a starter as well. I'm just saying the addition of DK takes it from a vital, team crippling need to an area that could be improved.Originally Posted by Heyward

doomed
Heyman says braves have shown interest in Puig and have not shown interest in Reyes,Castellanos,Dyson, or Peralta
Get off my lawn!
I'd be extremely shocked if AA did absolutely nothing at the deadline.
But i agree we need to make some moves if we're gonna hold them off. I wouldnt empty the farm or anything but there's enough to add without gutting the farm and improving the team, a happy medium so they say.
Well if they win the next 2 games, they're just 2.5 back.
Seems like a perfectly logical take.
This guy knows rosters!
I forgot about Riley as well. A Wright, Riley, Wentz, and Allard package may do it. I’m afraid AA wants to hold onto Riley in case JD walks in the offseason. Also saying we aren’t close on this person and this person I don’t buy into that bc of how AA operates. We can take everything with a grain of salt till tomorrow at 4 passes. But with the waiver wire gone now there will be a lot more pressure to get it done now.
If you disagree with us needing an ace and bullpen + OF help, you are dumber than I thought.
Haha.
LOL, someone failed his econ 101 midterm at Eastern Podunk University and is a little angry.
I’m in love with the idea of trading for Puig.
Off you go Taylor, you have a silly undergrad test to study for I'm sure.
Shoo, shoo, or I'll tell D1 daddy to take away your wifi access again.
The Braves haven't won a world title in a quarter century.
So, yes, I am a bit angry that we seem to be pissing away one of our best chances to date.
One name that has not come up to my memory is Aaron Bummer of the Pale Hose. LH RP with some pretty good numbers. Fits what some are saying about AA going on the Value Aisle and not talked about.
Article and Stats from BR
Age: 25
Contract: In second year of team control, hitting arbitration in 2021 season and free agency after the 2023 season (at least four more seasons of control).
2019 stats: 38.0 IP, 1 SV, 1.66 ERA, 3.26 FIP, 3.40 xFIP, 68.8% GB%, 24.1% K%, 0.8 fWAR
Bummer has been brilliant for the White Sox this season and could end up being a closer long term. While Bummer might not have the high strikeout rate of a typical dominant reliever, he makes up for it with his groundball rate. With a devastating sinker that has an average velocity of 95.4 MPH, it is not surprising that Bummer is second in MLB with a groundball rate of 68.8% (minimum 30 IP). He could provide excellent setup work for the Braves in 2019 and be a cog in the Braves’ bullpen for years to come. With much of the reliever market likely to be more focused on the White Sox’s closer, Alex Colomé, the Braves might be able to swoop in a snag a gem in Bummer.

Yes, go "all in" to boost the WS chances from 7% to 11%. Great plan.
Luckily for us, AA is smarter than that and understands the longer term picture of building a long term contender.
Now off you go. If you fail another under grad midterm D1 daddy will be very disappointed since you can't do anything athletic or academic.
Eh, i dont think even with 3 big moves, we'd still beat LA. They're too good when healthy imo. Eventually we'll have to go all in, i dont know if now is the time however to do that.
Enscheff thinks we can beat the Astros or Yankees with Keuchel, Soroka, and Julio.
Don't even tell him about the Dodgers or Nationals.
Haha.
Please go get Thor or MadBum or Bauer.
Should it be D1 daddy or Daddy D1? To me the latter rolls off the tongue better.
