we’ll need him (McCann) in September.
And October/beginning of November!

Well, you might need BMac in September, but you won’t in October, because the Braves WILL NOT make the playoffs. They are playing way over their heads, just like last season, but they will come crashing back to earth, and the wildcard teams will be either the Cardinals, Pirates, Dodgers, or Giants. Watch out for the Cardinals. They are poised for another run, just like last season.

This Braves team will lose 100 games. Bad starting pitching, bad relief pitching, horrible offense, nonexistent bench, worst manager in baseball, bad GM, and terrible ownership. This team has become pathetic and embarrassing.

the Nats collapse is coming up.im sure about it… the pressure is a bitch!!!! too young team for hold that..always is a lot of pressure for a 1st place team who any expects nothing about them and with one team like the braves close to them and playing very well ….watch out the braves
braves are having recently quality start to quality start….and the bullpen having lights out performance…

Wren should’ve gotten an ace. Instead he gets a soft tossing Maholm who on his best day is still a mid rotation guy. Nothing wrong with that. But Huddy hasn’t been himself with all these 1st inning blues.

Here’s what I don’t understand. To all the people b*tching about not getting an ACE starter, how do the Braves pay for it?
The payroll right now is at $92.5M with the current roster. So to pay 9-11M for the remainder of the season – how do you propose to find that $ and who do you think could be traded to cover those funds?

Oh I don’t know Pace … maybe Wren had found a way since he was obviously after Dempster and Greinke. Not that I was thrilled either of those guys, but they’re certainly better than Maholm. Anyways, they WERE after higher priced SP. That much we do know.
