It's definatley a win now trade and he has ridiculous numbers against the NL east this year. If he can keep his current pace, it definatley solidifies the rotation with a heavy veteren presense. Might be the push the Braves need to get past the Nats, especially if Strats gets shut down...they might have an interesting trade deadline too.

Delgado can however be a very solid 2-3 pitcher for years to come once he puts it all together. The cubs probably had their choice of Minor or Delgado, looks like Teheran iremains the only untouchable of the Braves big prospects.

-Edit-

And Now it Looks like the Braves have pulled out on the Dwight Howard sweepstakes.

So can a closer really win the Cy Young?

Jayson Stark wrote a whole article on this a couple of weeks ago and followed up with this today in his awards.

So if this is going to be about who has pitched the best, in whatever role, the answer is Craig Kimbrel. Period. He's faced 227 hitters this year -- and has come within one K of striking out HALF of them (113). No pitcher in history has ever done that. Of those 227 hitters, only 26 of them have gotten a hit -- giving him the lowest opponent batting average (.123) ever (min. 50 IP). The OPS of those hitters? A microscopic .356 -- also a record for the six decades or so for which that OPS data is available. His 0.65 WHIP? The lowest by any NL reliever in history. His strikeout ratio of 16.5 per nine innings? Best of all time.

So I am of biased of course, but if a historic performance can't win it for a reliever, I don't think we will ever see another closer get it.

Looks like it Braves vs Cards in the one game playoff Friday. The Braves will get revenge from last year or St Louis will once again end their season. I'm not too excited for the new format but sending Kris Medlen out there sure makes you feel a lot better. He will be going for a 24th consecutive Braves win when he starts.

I hope MLB got what it wanted with making a joke of the game. That stadium was going crazy and Mac would have been up with bases loaded. You could feel the momentum shifting and then that terrible call and a late one at that.

The worst part is they talked it over and still let the call stand. So the first ever wild card elimination game ends in protest which wont be overturned because they don't want to interfere with the division series. What a joke.

There is no excuse not to have instant replay in baseball now. Worried about preserving the sanctity of the game? Don't have a one game elimination after a 162 game season. The Braves will now probably be know as the team that got the Wildcard game turned into a series.

Terrible day as a life long Braves fan. Just terrible day and horrible way for Chipper to go out. Braves got screwed, but also screwed themselves with all the errors. Here's hoping Wren can get put together a really good team in the off season. I'm so sick of late season/post season dissapointment with the Braves. I just want to get back to the World Series and win one.

      I think Bryce looked better since he's been back.  But I don't have much faith in him.  He needs to be consistently better.  If he finishes the season improving game after game, then we're in a good spot. If he doesn't, then we need to move on.

      So what's the plan with Moton?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Has the ball on every offensive snap.  Calls line protection schemes and adjustments. Often squares up against the biggest man on defense. On running plays is often tasked with making second level hits. Sometimes wears a bear costume and buys ads in the local paper declaring this will be a playoff year. Sorry, kinda missing Ryan Kalil there.
