And Avilan has been one of the few guys in the pen that Fredi has been able to count on in high leverage situations. He just didn't have his location tonight. I knew when Perez went out that it would be an adventure for Atlanta.Quote:

Can't help but think how much better our record would be with Shea Simmons. We've blown a ton of games with our pen
true. or a healthy varvaro. i speculated he was hurt after his horrible spring, and he just went down for the season. can't remember what happened to Vizcaino, i assume he's hurt too. david carpenter would have helped this club too, not sure why he was shipped out for nothing. Walden too, but whatever it took to close that steal of Miller and Jenkins is fine by me.Quote:

Definetely could've used both

#Braves working on possible trade of Callaspo, why he was scratched
If we can get anything for him, it's a win
As much as tonight's loss stings, I'm not gonna let it get me down. Perez and folty pitching well has me excited. If I was wisler, banuelos, Jenkins, etc, I'd be more than a little worried bc i think we may have our rotation for the rest of the year and maybe next year. I really like Perez
He gave up 7 hits through 6 innings. He had given up 6 hits in the first 3 innings. That guy settled down, mixed his pitches well, and was unpredictable.Quote:

Fredi says the #Braves are trying to deal Callaspo, but a potential DFA later this week seems to be just as likely
Kimbrel (5.63 era) just gave up walk off hit to Angels.
Hart sold high on ck
Yep. You also gotta factor in the arm trouble scare last season. Everyone who's bitched about that move is nuts. Sell high on CK, get a damn good prospect in Wisler, a high ceiling player who hasn't quite panned out but is still young in Maybin, and get the Pads to take BJ and the majority of his contract off our hands. I'd call that an absolute WIN by anyone's definition.Quote:

So far that jhey trade was a total flogging. If we get miller, Jenkins, and resign jhey, we might get even for wainwright over time
