GDT: 9/5/14 Braves (Harang) at Marlins (Cosart); poor Freeman, he's in lineup

I'm so sick of hearing how good this Cossart guy is!! The rest of the league tears his ass up,,,but not us.....nope. Not the Braves.

He's gotta 3.72 ERA
 
Harang has really let us down the last four starts or so after having a remarkable start. That was what I was afraid of, that he fall apart when we really need him in August and/or Sept. We would probably be better off with Hale in the rotation if Harang keeps this up. The issues on offense lately is helping matters of course.

He has some semblance to Otis Nixon in the face and facial twitches.
 
That isn't a terrible ERA at all.

He also put most of it up in the AL, a league that killed Harang who has been much better in the NL despite his last four starts or so. Cosart has been very good in the NL against pretty much everyone so far. It isn't just us, though he surely does do best against us.
 
This is what we rely on every 5th day in a playoff chase boys. Aaron Harang...exciting huh? What should we do at the trade deadline? Bring in a lefty who can only get out righties and a speedster not utilized properly. Fck bringing in a decent 5th starter like a Cosart right?
 
Do we have enough off days left to where we can skip the rest of Harang's starts?

I don't know but you know Fredi won't skip a veteran. Remember when Derek Lowe fell apart in 2011? I hope that is not happening with Harang here but if so we'll stick with him regardless.

That said, I'd stretch out Hale and put him the rotation. It's not like Fredi uses him well in the bullpen anyway.
