Dan is suffering from the mid 30's. It happened to guys who were much better ball players, i.e. Andruw Jones, Dale Murphy, its somewhat happening to Pujouls (yet never compare Uggla to Albert). Guys who peak between the ages of 26 and 30 and then the natural regression begins until the player...

Isn't that the dance from Napolean Dynamite?

Who gets to 50 K's first? Since BJ is an everyday player, we'll set the line at Kimbrel vs. BJ -10.

My kid's pitching is coach is teaching him to throw a curve ball. Before getting started, he showed him the wrong way and then the right way. It is amazing at the difference in the effect on the elbow. With the "wrong way", you could actually see the coach's elbow ligament movement. Anyway...

Can't help but think it has something to do with good pitchers who have long careers, i.e. Hudson, Glavine Smoltz, etc.., When was the last time, any of the teams on the lower have a starting pitcher that logged 10 years? Not to mention, organizations that do not produce quality pitchers, don't...

Crazy thing is that was probably the best game Mike Morgan pitched that season.

MLB Trade Rumors ‏@mlbtraderumors 41s The #Royals have scheduled a press conference for 4pm CT to make a "major baseball-related announcement." To complete their transition into the Atlanta Braves, the Kansas City Royals will move to south Atlanta and will play all home games at Turner Field.

He should have held out for Linecum money. Wren was only going to go 1 year at $10mill. Can't blame Huddy, can't blame Wren. Tough to go 2 years on 40 year old pitchers. Baseball is a young man's game.

I believe it was a lot less than 100 games.

Just think what Detroit would have given up for Kimbrel at the deadline. I don't know if filling that role is easy, I don't think it is, just ask Wohlers, Kolb, Lidge, etc... At the moment, Kimbrel is putting together a HOF caliber career. If he was a right fielder, he'd be the talk of...

In the future, ATL should stay away from any deal that involves the Florida Marlins. I can only think of two, Uggla and if y'all will remember, Mike Hampton had Marlin involvement to make that deal work. As far as Uggla/BP, each time is going to have to bite the bullet, with Cincy needing to...

I believe Francoeur was offered the same deal that Mac took, and was offered it at the same time Mac was offered his. If memory serves me right, those deals were offered after their second season in Atlanta. Mac took the deal while Jeff decided to roll the dice as he apparently and mistakenly...

If that's the case, we can bring him back through trade, with the other team eating a part of Mac's contract and taking on the rest of BJ's.

Well, if your not going to resign the guy, at least promote him and help him get paid.

Only thing I remember about Pena was Yunel being upset when we traded him. Can't say I remember Bill hyping Pena either. Now, Jose Capellan, that could be a different story. At least I remember the old board being high on him. Andy Marte as well.

Here's a good one for you...... The Braves had $38.25 million in salary (BMac, BJ, & Uggla) go 0-16 with 9 K's and 1 RBI for the series. So basically, 43% of the payroll was ineffective for the series. I don't care what industry you are in, when 43% of payroll is not pulling their weight...

The 9:30 game time actually gives Kershaw 3.25 days rest

Mac actually had good swings against Kershaw. He'll be in there.

Mattingly is probably thinking he only needs 5 innings from Kershaw, though he's liable to 8.

Crazy damn thing. The team that lead the majors in ERA, suddenly doesn't have the pitching to get through a 5 game series.
