Only our offense would struggle against a guy with a 5.09 ERA.

To be fair, that's probably around a 4.25 ERA in the NL with no DH.

But I've been on the road/in the casino all day. I didn't get any of the game.

How did Swanson do?

1-3, a single, a strike out, and I missed his first at bat.

Not bad for your MLB debut.

Gotta figure Albies will be up come September with the expanded roster and Mallex Smith should be getting close to returning, though they might just shut him down for the rest of the season.

Copalela(spell) and Hart have been fairly honest in terms of who they aren't gonna trade, and it sounds like they plan on keeping Matt Kemp, which likely means Markakis will be gone in the offseason to make room for Smith.

I guess they could trade Inciarte, but I'd much rather keep him, cause if Kemp is gonna take up one of the OF spots, we're gonna need two center fielders to make up for Kemp's lack of range.

I was about to say, Kemp has no giddy up. He missed one down the left field line tonight because he doesn't have the wheels to get there. I will give him a slight break since the ball was tailing away, but I still think someone with a little speed could have caught it.

Oh, then he tried to turn a single into a double and got thrown out sliding into second. They reviewed it and overturned the out, so they did actually give him the double. It was really close though. It could have gone either way.

Dude used to be a Gold Glove center fielder. He can still hit, but he don't have the wheels he used to, and apparently doesn't have the eye at the plate with his extremely low walk numbers.

I like Swanson.

6 in a row! Love the offense since Kemp arrived. The off-season will be interesting. Braves need to add Starting pitching somehow (the free agent market kinda sucks this winter for SP) and this team could be pretty interesting. Catcher, 3rd base (maybe) and this will be a very watchable team. 2nd best offense in the league since the AllStar break.

Not sure how we add reliable starting pitching without gutting our newly built-up farm system..?
