Playing “no doubles” often causes the equivalent of doubles.
Heyward should have played that better, true, but still… normal depth and the game’s over.

The Tex trade was not a “win” in any universe I inhabit. We lost a starting catcher, a record-setting pitcher who’s still a kid, and a killer SS. For a rental.

Y’know, every time Kimbrel comes into a save situation, I expect it to be the time that he comes up a little short and blows a save. But sombitch, the kid just keeps on keeping on. He hasn’t given up a run in forever. 40 friggin saves to tie the major league record with a month to go to have it all my himself. He could very well set one of the most untouchable records in the history of the game before it’s all said and done. My hat is off to this kid. I wanted Venters to be the closer, but Kimbrel has made a believer of me.

P B Orr – no one is saying the Tex trade was a winner. It was one of the all time worst trades. If the Braves win the World Series then it is even but that trade set us back ages, but the trade is in the past. no reason to revisit it all the time. The Braves have done a superb job rebuilding there farm through the draft and foreign signees. The Braves also have shown they have learned from that trade this trade deadline.
The Tex trade was like the Hershel Walker trade for the Cowboys. If Minnesota wins, or goes to the Super Bowl great. They didn’t and in the process helped build the Cowboys for their championship runs just as the Braves helped Texas get to the World Series last year as much as anybody

Good job by the bullpen. CMart, Viz and Sherrill. Minor wasn’t bad, either. Some lackadaisical plays early on, but I suppose you cannot be in the do-or-die mode all the time.

I don’t either. We chase them off from time to time, such as the case with Powder Blue.
However some idiots still remain.
