I never doubted Donaldson. Loved the signing from day one.

I really didn't know that much about him before we signed him ... outside of his slow start I'm not really sure why I didn't like him, maybe it was the mullet ????

 

[GTJake]

I saw it mentioned that Inciarte was starting some rehab.
With the way the Braves have been playing I have totally forgotten him and Camargo who I really liked has fallen off the radar ... so yes, we definitely have some options !

That's a good question. Riley is definitely going to be a 3rd baseman long term, but he has made enough strides in LF to be serviceable there. My only question is Camargo. I wanted him to be starting RF next year, but I don't want to see an OF with both Riley and Camargo playing in it. It's good to have options though.

I've also liked the JD signing from the beginning and could see us giving him another contract for a few years. Riley has proven he is serviceable in the OF. Acuna could play LF, Pache in CF, and Riley in RF. Once Waters proves to be a full time big leaguer, move Riley to 3rd. If JD is still on the team when Waters is called up full time, you can trade him or have him as a bench player. I would imagine Camargo is going to be used in a trade this season/offseason but that's just a guess.

Remaining games for the Braves until the All Star Break. I think the Braves go into the All Star Break with a 56-35 record.

12-4, that's pretty optimistic Mike, I hope you are right !!
The Nationals might be the Braves stiffest NL East competition in the 2nd half, this weekends series will be interesting.
The Cubs are playing much better than last time we met and the games are at Wrigley.
The Mets/Phillies/Marlins being all Divisional games won't be overlooked.
If you are right, our lead in the NL East will probably double ...

I'm very optimistic about the Bravos When all is said and done i think the Nationals will finish 2019 in 2nd place in the NL East while the Mets could be fighting to hold off the Marlins for 4th place in the NL East

mets 3B didn't look so great.
Maybe they should trade us deGrom for Donaldson
(deGrom/DeGrom)what gives with the inconsistent capitalization in his name?

Trading for Matt Scherzer would be nice

The Tampa Bay Devil Rays are looking into playing half of their home games in Montreal. I think this is a dry run for a move from Tampa to Montreal. I'm not so sure that attendance would be any better in Montreal for the Devil Rays than it is in Tampa.

Nationals 3-0 over the Phillies in the 2nd inning

 

[YellowJacketFan2018]

3-2 Nationals over the Phillies in the 4th inning

 

[YellowJacketFan2018]

The Nationals and Phillies are tied 3-3 in the 5th inning

 

[YellowJacketFan2018]

4-3 Nationals over the Phillies in the 6th inning

 

[YellowJacketFan2018]

7-4 Nationals over the Phillies in the 7th inning

 

[YellowJacketFan2018]

The Phillies have allowed 124 homers so far this season which is the most of any team in MLB

 

[YellowJacketFan2018]

The Nationals win 7-4 over the Phillies. The Braves now lead the NL East by 4.5 games and the Nationals are only 3 games behind the Phillies.

Would you give up an OF and P or two for Trevor Bauer?

ATLANTA Would GET
RHP TREVOR BAUER

CLEVELAND Would GET
CF ENDER INCIARTE, RHP TOUKI TOUSSAINT, LHP KOLBY ALLARD

That sounds nice I wouldn't mind trading for Brett Anderson of the A's who are usually always selling

[Buzzbomb]

That’s a good alternative if we can’t get Minor, Bauer. Anderson doesn’t have the strikeout capability and only averages about 5 wins a season, however he only loses that many(like an innings eater with no decision probability type).
