Amazingly for all the guys the Marlins dealt away, probably the worst one got the best return back.

awwrite...Round 2 coming up beginning Monday night. Atlanta has been the worst first-place team so far (Ozunugh!) and very shaky pitching, but other than Pudres they haven't played much talent in opponents yet (shades of the Rays' start). Gotta do better than 1-3 against these guys if we want to show we can be a real contendah.

Yup - a trade that worked for both teams, filling needs.

Kudos to the D'Backs on their hot start. Would love for them to hang around and cause some chaos in the West.

Braves reeeaaalllyyy needed that start from Max Fried last night. As tough as those losses last week against the Puds were, and then the injuries, that he's healthy will hopefully give us some hope. Not sure if the rest of the rotation can do as much against a very strong Sand Iego squad. But at least we got one out there, and as Johnny once said: "That's Enough"

Braves looked a bit shaky again, I mean their bottom of order is ghastly: they really can't find two players to play outfield better than Ozuna and Eli White? C'mon! Soto did some damage again. He's having quite a year!

Big game tonight with you and the Padres as the winner tonight gets the season series.

MadBum is toast

predictable.

Our long national nightmare is over!


Dbacks - 1-4 when Bum pitched 10-4 with anyone else pitching

Hopefully, Ozuna is next.

Scherzer's a cheater. Anyone surprised? Nope. Been doctorin' the ball for years.

I'm not really at all.

They really need to have it where the only Rosin you can use is from the mound.

Max suspended 10 games and Mets convinced him not to appeal.

This Padres lineup is going to be an issue. Wow. 1-4 guys 1-7 with a walk, and they have 5 runs in the 4th inning 1 out.

It will actually work in their favor as he will be fresher in the postseason with the extra rest.


Alert: Houstless tonight. Shaky Braves will start seeing some real competition, other than Puds (who now have the season series.)

So everyone focuses on Juan Soto due to the batting average, but man, Manny Machado. He enters today with a .563 OPS. Looked pretty bad last night really.

Well, Soto is having a career year, so there's that...
