I really hate that I'm rooting for my team to lose. I should have really enjoyed tonight's game.

I'm happy the team is playing well and with some heart. I think it's good for a lot of the young guys. Hopefully it translates into next year but we should still get a very high pick in this year's draft no matter what.

Under the circumstances the loss wouldn't be meaningless.

You can add relative meaning to a win or loss, but I think these wins are big for the team's confident moving forward. It surely sucks for the draft positioning, but the team's fight is exhilarating!
 
This late in the season I doubt momentum carries over 6 months from now. Regardless we should still get a top 5 pick.

Meaningless wins lol

You can lol all you want. I'm seeking entertainment, and this team lately has been one of the most entertaining teams Atlanta has fielded in years. Last night was a blast, even after the delay.
 
So...I'm still feeling like we missed a big opportunity to get the absolute most for Julio at the deadline. When he's on...he is great. When he isn't....he has not had his "good" stuff more often lately. When the studs come up, he could drop to our 4 or 5 spot, with not near the value. I think the front office has done a great job, but they dropped the ball on Julio. Maybe they just didn't get a good offer, but I find that hard to believe with some of the other deals out there. I think they ask for the moon and never budged. That's all fine, but there was probably a middle ground (very good) trade that could have been had. I guess we'll never know what was offered...maybe it's better that way.

If Julio is #4 or #5 in our rotation in 3 years then we are going to the World Series. Also with his contract he is always going to have insane trade value while he is under it. Currently he's sitting at 40 million in surplus value.

Also, we really have to bring Jim

Johnson back. He's been so good with us over the last two years.

I was a little surprised they brought him back last off-season, but he's certainly done well after coming off the DL in June. Curious to see what his market will be this off-season. I wouldn't be averse to bringing him back at the right price, but I wouldn't be surprised if he netted a multi-year deal somewhere. His peripherals have been really solid this year. SO % is way up while maintaining a solid GB ratio.

I'd be ok with giving him a two year deal.
