GDT 8/24: Maxwell goes for 15

[Southcack77]

Picking up Cervelli, Hechy, and Hamilton post deadline was really a pretty sweet bit of front office work.

Only 20 more to go for the record!!

Even when he looks wrong for a bit it seems his moves make more sense later. I think the MM move had a lot to do with his success vs the Dodgers. AA knows they are the team to beat.

Yeah wupk said he has a sub-1 ERA vs the Dodgers in his last 30 games vs them or so. I still dont like the move since it most likely hurts our payroll next year to add/keep key pieces but it makes sense in that way you said.

If we're gonna win the NL, gonna have to get through them.

Interesting that we do not seem to have had much competition for their services. In some ways we were lucky they became available at a time injuries to regulars created a positional need.

Yeah, it's kind of weird how the right pieces have hit the market at the right time.

I can't imagine how frustrating it must be for the Nats and their fans to be dominating everyone for so long, and still can't make a dent in the standings.

Their reward will be a 1 game playoff and best case, a trip to LA

1 game against the best pitcher in baseball

All of a sudden the prospects of having Greene/MM next year is promising.

AA is starting to build a resume as one of the top GMs in the sport.

isn't it scary when we agree totally? lol

Hamilton mentioned interest in him besides Atlanta, that might explain AA taking the contract rather than waiting till he was released.

Happens more often than you think lol.

I just want to bring everybody back. This team is too much fun to break up the family.

i wouldn't mind Hamilton as our 5th outfielder a full season just to watch him pinch run and run wild on the bases (and watch his great defense in CF).

I just want JD back, he's been so damn important. We'd be royally ****ed this year if AA didnt get him.

yea he was a great signing.

Expecting a yuge game from Cervelli.

 

[Enscheff]

Remember when the Braves went 5-5 a week ago and all the chicken littles were crying?

 

[steveAKAslick]

Feel bad for Diaz being booed while coming out of the game with an injury. However, when you sign for the big bucks in New York, you have to know what's going to happen when you don't meet the fans (usually unrealistic) expectations.

To be fair he was traded from the Mariners

The bullpen's scoreless innings streak is at 24.
