GDT: Fish @ Braves: Time to put some Harris on our chest

I certainly wouldn't bet on it, but Davidson has had 2 good starts out of last 3, so hopefully he can lock down the 5-spot.

Yesterday wasn’t a good start. 4 walks against a weak team is a horrible start. We need a better starter. If strider was stretched enough to start then I would almost say Anderson is our #5. That would be great.
 
Davidson is not it for me. I still think Elder will be a solid 5.

Davidson is a guy who needs to be sent to the orioles or the like to eat innings and earn a pension. He's not a piece on a winning team. Great outcome for his talent level and where he was picked.

I guess my bar is too low these days; but if a 5th starter can give us 5 ip and less than 2 er, I can live with that and he's done that 2 of the last 3. It's certainly debatable on how sustainable it is... apparently AA chimed in with his opinion
 
I think for now, until the other guys prove they can get through a game without walking guy after guy, I’d go with Strider or have Chavez/Lee open and run Strider through the middle innings. Hopefully we’re still hanging around the Wild Card race in July and AA can acquire a starter.

That's about the time soroka should return
 
Elder and Davidson and every other AAAA arm are completely interchangeable depth for the rotation. Any of them can reel off a string of unsustainably good starts at any time, and that won’t change the fact they aren’t very good.

The Braves probably need another SP, but letting Strider go 4-5 innings might be the best option as long as snit doesn’t screw it up by leaving him in too long…which he will almost certainly do.
