This is it....

[TheBravos]

Julio not looking like he will regain anything more than a game here or there and may be back on the DL if velo doesn’t go back up.

Soroka on the DL (this really concerns me)

Folty on the DL

Viz on the DL (this really concerns me)

That’s three starters and our closer basically out...not to mention McCarthy has had One of his worst years (at least he has been healthy so far).

We are about to go into the toughest stretch of our season, and we are the least heathy we have been all year.

If we have a big loosing streak or loose say 13 of 20 this year...this will be the time it happens.

Hopefully we navigate this ok, but I am worried this is where the Nats go from three down...to three games or more up.

Foltz comes off the DL tomorrow. It was really just a way to get him some rest. I think we'll be fine. Hoping Gohara gets going in AAA so that he becomes an option soon if we need him

 

[PurpleBrave]

We have a small margin of error. Going to have to outscore teams with pitchers hurt

Folty was the least one I’m worried about but it already most likely cost us a win while on the DL. AND hopefully ...hopefully he has no lingering problems. That’s not a given.

Gohara has been a mess. He could come out of it, but definitely can’t count on him for anything at this point.

There is a way this could go where everyone pans out. There is also a way this could go VERY bad.

The Braves should have traded 2-3 pitchers for a single impact pitcher, that way when all these guys got injured there would be nobody to pitch.

Our pitching depth has been an asset all season. And it is going to come into play bigly in the second half.

Don't we always have to outscore teams?

Obvious to all but the “trade for an ace” crowd.

I don’t want to trade for an ace, but “am” worried about injuries slowly piling up.

 

[nsacpi]

it is likely we drop out of first at some point...and also likely we'll be playing meaningful games in September

Outhit, bats have to win games, whatever you want to call it

Im not against trading for an ace, it just depends on what it would cost.

Spoiler alert: a lot.

How many aces are there now anyways? 10? Out of those 10 degrom the only one available?

DeGrom is probably only one actually available, and Mets would want the kitchen sink since we're within division.

Don't worry. Fried will be up anyday now.

 

[Perfect Cell]

Im worried about this crazy rash of injuries.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Don't worry. Fried will be up anyday now.

This may be sarcastic, but you're right. I truly think Fried would make an impact in our rotation. Give the once-lottery pick a chance!

I think he would be more consistent than Julio.

Probably half and half. I do think Fried should be in line to be given a shot but I'm certainly not as high on him as some around here.
