Might as well give up Acuna and Riley for a half year of Machado. What about Pache and albies for starlin Castro? Can't believe someone proposed that moose trade in particular

I predict Kyle Wright for a solid #3 under contract thru 2019.

He's looking much better of late.

Hope that arm contusion doesn't keep Freddie out long. FU CC.

Yeah, a day or 2 off for FF might be a good thing. He's been really struggling

This. We've pushed Wright up pretty quickly but I think he's top notch. If we could get a solid #2 or #3, or find a way to get a couple bullpen arms for him, we need to do it.

I think he's actually a bit behind in his development from what was expected when he was drafted.

I just think he's been solid but ranks behind 6 or 7 of our projected rotation for the next couple years, but has that top pick cache still going for him. Seems like the right guy to trade and the right time. And I dont think we mind adding a solid piece in the rotation for this year and next, but no longer. Wright for 1.5 years of an established but not overpaid starter seems right.

Agreed. I haven't been super happy with his development but it seems like the organization is content with pushing him along. I think he's the perfect trade piece to get a reliever

Touki is starting tonight at AAA.

If allard can continue to improve his k rate, we could see him and touki at some point this season. Weigel is another guy to keep an eye on. I love weigel... hopefully he comes back from TJ strong

Matt Powers says:

“With just over 24 hours to go before the signing deadline, I’m starting to feel less confident in the chances of the Braves signing Carter Stewart than I was earlier today. Two different reports have seemed to turn momentum the other way“

[RocketDawg]

Did you see that blast to straightaway center field by the Brewers? Long one. The Braves are going to have to do some scoring in the 9th.

[msstate7]

Trouble, trouble... tied with Phillies and nats a coming.

Not sure who I'm more disappointed in tonight...

1. Albies for running into the 1st out at 3rd in the 1st inning. Should've been a run in a 1-run loss.

2. Snit for PR culberson instead of santana when it was clear we'd need a PH 1 batter later. Snit then PH flaherty (.469 ops since May 1st) instead of flowers in the 9th bc of lefty/righty stupidness.

3. AA for screwing up the 8th pick in the draft. AA has to share the blame for garbage butt flaherty still be an option for a dummy like snit to use.

Just sick right now...

[Bulldog1]

We've got big problems. Starting with management.

[MetEdDawg]

I think this organization is going to be afraid to make moves this year. We need change badly right now and no one in management seems to want to make that move. Pitching is horrid right now. We need shake up there.

[klong-dog]

Should have scored 3 in the first. I like being aggressive but with 0 outs, you can't the that chance.

7th inning, 2ns & 3rd 0 outs and can't get a run in there. Santana can't even put in play. Time for him to go.

[msstate7]

First 4 game losing streak of year. Time to respond

[klong-dog]

Freddie has to snap out of it. 16 games is plenty for a shit streak.

Snit has been letting Ender do that all year. multiple outs at 3rd. he's an idiot.

That’s Ron Washington’s aggressiveness but it’s also allowed us to score some runs when we didn’t last year. It’s a fine line with that type of aggression and you have to hold the player accountable to read that situation better as well

You're welcome.

[shoeless joe]

MS7...you can back if the ledge now. It's a long season. At least this year will be exciting one way or another
