The starting pitcher for the Braves is 1-5 Mike Foltynewicz and the starting pitcher for the Phillies is 2-3 Vince Velasquez. Hopefully the Braves will take 2 of 3 from the Phillies and go into the Mets series with a 2.5 game lead in the NL East.

so who's next after Jackson blows his opportunity to be closer? an unlikely trade? swarzak? Webb? guessing that Newcomb isn't next in line,maybe rising ....
They said the Braves shouldn't make try to make a move until the trade deadline when they might not have to give so much away on a trade:rolleyes: The excuse they tried to give was that everyone else was having bullpen problems and not just the Braves:poop:

Folty up to 98, even 99 on the Gun. I still say move Smoltz, oops I mean Folty to closer. He went through the first 6 hitters like butter.

If the Braves wait until the August 31 “new and only” deadline, might as well call Gwinnett up by then. Save a prospect or two or three.

He's a complete head case, I like that mentality for the closer role actually. He shouldn't be a starting pitcher imo.
