Fried is the man! To have a terrible 1st and not starting the 2nd off great, he settled down and owned the rest of the batters he faced

If Folty can keep his momentum up and find his 2018 form again, a Soroka, Fried, and Folty rotation would get me excited for the playoffs. Soroka and Fried both have that competitive fire that is fun to watch. Plus Dallas with his experience.

Still think we are a true experienced ace, and a piece or two in the bullpen away from competing with the Dodgers for the pennant. But crazier shite has happened.

I'm guessing the Braves try and cash in some of those prospects for a big time starter in the offseason. Not sure who though

Wish we would spend some fricking money on a SP. Do you think they will try to sign JD again?

I was at the game Saturday night. What a great game. The pitching was good, and the bullpen was great. Hitting was shaky but the homers came at just the right time.
Folty struggled, and (after the 2nd inning) I told Dale Murphy I didn't think he would last 5 innings. Should have pulled him after 4. The bullpen pitched a great game.
We were in the Home Depot Clubhouse and that was us posting the Ks after strikeouts.

I really hope so but I think he's played his way out of the Braves price range

Honestly, outside of Waters, Pache, and Anderson, they don't have any more big names down there to cash in. All the big guns are on the MLB roster now or have been traded for the bullpen help. I think they spend some money and sign Gerrit Cole this offseason, which would make me do a happy dance.

Sure but it doesn't mean they be part of a trade.Would love to know the plans for Wrigt, Wilson and Touki moving forward.They still have value.
