GDT Sun 7/29, Dodgers

It's too bad I'm one of the people that side along with the older you are, the less likely your command and control is going to improve, because this is what you can dream on. Even if this totally normal thing doesn't happen.

4-4.5 BB/9 will equal a 3.8-4.5 ERA to me. I was proven wrong.
 
If the nats sell, it'll be their rental relievers. They're "in it" but I'm not sure they did enough to prove anything to the owners that want to stay away from the tax.
 
The Braves need for a legit cleanup hitter has been glaring for the last 20 games or so. Unfortunately, Freddie is pressing right now and his recent dropoff in production (from MVP to mere All Star) has as much to do with the recent offensive struggles as any other factor. Markakis is having a trememdous season, but we need a RH power hitter that doesn't K a ton hitting behind Freddie.
 
Barring a run at history, who lets Newk face all the RHHs at the top of the lineup a third time?

Speak up now before the benefit of hindsight.

Right. Freeman just hasn’t been getting enough protection since we jettisoned Kemp.
