In 6 road starts this season, Julio Teheran has posted a 7.42 ERA (25 ER/30.1 IP). 8 of 10 HR allowed have come away from Turner Field

[KB21]

Reportedly the Braves are getting Chris Withrow in the deal. He's a RHP who has a mid to upper 90s fastball that is coming off TJ surgery.

[KB21]

Sounds like Eric Stults and Ian Thomas possibly included in the deal for Uribe and Withrow. A fourth player from Atlanta is mentioned but no word on who yet.

Braves get Juan uribe and withrow

Dodgers get stults, Jamie, callaspo, and Thomas

[msstate7]

Braves' 3b now includes uribe, CJ, and Gosselin. They're all right handed. Really makes me wonder if we're working on a deal to move CJ when he gets healthy.

[msstate7]

You've lost your damn mind. Teheran is struggling but it's wayyyyyyy too early to be comparing him to Hanson, JJ, etc. or suggesting we trade him. Pitchers have bad stretches and even bad years. Could be the case for Teheran this season. Hell, look at Halladay's career. The guy was about to be out of baseball then became the best pitcher in the game for several years. Shit happens in this sport. Just gotta ride it out and hope Teheran figures it out. And I'm betting he will eventually.

Yeah my comparison to the flops is premature. I think Teheran could have value as our 3-4 pitcher.

Once aGAIN, you're nuts. He's got legit ace stuff and was dominant last season. This is the first bad season he's had. Deal with it. A few good starts from Shelby Miller doesn't make him great. I think he's more likely to be a long term 3-4 than Teheran. Baseball is the hardest sport to sustain success. Even the best of the best have had whole seasons where they just couldn't figure it out. Verlander had a similar season early in his career. I'd know, I had him on my fantasy team that year - just like I do Teheran this year. Doesn't mean they aren't legit ace pitchers. To borrow a saying from a certain nut job MSU baseball head coach: "That's baseball."

Shelby miller's stuff is far superior to teheran's. Teheran has to have pin point location to be a good pitcher and he just doesn't have it consistently this year. Miller doesn't have to be that precise bc he throws harder

[msstate7]

Miller career stats...
3.08 era 430 ip 357 h 360 k 1.18 whip

Teheran...
3.36 era 487.2 ip 451 h 419 k 1.18 whip

So they're very close, but one is headed one way and the other the other way. If I could only hold one, it's miller no question

I'm just pissed at teheran's inconsistency. I really do hope he turns it around, but I could easily see wood and folty pass him by this year if the trends continue. Miller is already ahead of Teheran.

[msstate7]

I think this trade was a good move for our bullpen going forward.

Withrow career stats...
2.73 era 56 ip 71 k .156 avg 1.09 whip

Bullpen next year....

Withrow
Simmons
Avilan

I'd trade grilli and hold on to Jim Johnson. That would give us a solid core. We need another lhp before next season. I wonder if banuelos could be that guy.

Chris Johnson will be activated from the disabled list today. LHP Donnie Veal will fill the other vacant roster spot. #Braves

We must really like Peterson. If peraza moves to cf, don't expect a call up anytime soon

He'll be up by mid-July at worst. I'm betting sooner. I'm guessing we'll try to move CJ, then we'll see some sort of platoon between Uribe and Peterson at 3B.

I would absolutely love to trade CJ.

Eury Perez has been a good cf (around .300 and 20+ sb's). Playing peraza in cf is very interesting to me. Could be a long term move if he can play it. Of course there's Mallex smith in AA who looks like a nice option in cf, so who knows?

[msstate7]

FF has struck out 6 of last 7 at bats. Last 11 games...

.195 avg 0 hr 17 k's 4 bb

This is his 2nd really long cold streak this year. Seems FF has become Justin upton without the hr's... When he's hot, he hits everything. When he's cold, he hits absolutely nothing and k's at an alarming rate

[msstate7]

I'm really liking folty. After buster posey got him for a 2-run hr in the 1st, folty didn't give up another run and pitched till 2 outs in the 7th against the best offensive team in the nl right now. Here's his line...

6.2 ip 5 h 2 er 1 bb 8 k

In his last inning, he was still throwing 97. This kid is gonna be sick.

[msstate7]

Ready to see how Perez holds up vs the Giants. If we can get another solid start, it will take the sting outta these losses. Here's our starters' numbers in this series so far...

13.2 ip 10 h 3 er 1 bb 9 k 2.05 era

If you look at the road trip, our starters are turning it on besides Teheran. Throw out teheran's line vs Dodgers...

4.1 ip 10 h 8 er 3 bb 1 k

And this is the total line of our other 4 starts...

26.2 ip 24 h 5 er 4 bb 22 k 1.72 era

These guys (starters) are who we're gonna build this team on and they seem to be figuring things out well. If Teheran can come back strong from his terrible outing and the other starters stay solid, I think this road trip was a success regardless if we win another game. I get caught up in the moment and get mad with losses, but games like last night are a great sign of things to come guys.

[trob115]

Folty was actually hitting 98 in his last batter. I think he's just starting to scratch the surface on his potential.

Would you believe there are some advocating moving Foltynewicz for a position prospect? Fans, that is. No one in the Braves organization thinks that way.

Hell no. This guy seems to be figuring out his control. He's gonna be an absolute stud if he stays healthy
