Hopefully Keuchel gets the win keeping the Braves on their roll

 

[Buzzbomb]

I’ll take one more starter, two closers(off the list, above)and three wins this weekend!
Nice list, Mike!! Some work went behind all of that!!!

I have a feeling the Braves will make a big or semi-big trade for a closer at the Trade Deadline. It would be nice if they traded for another starter also.

Yes, it will be interesting how Braves Ownership plays this out. I feel with the addition of an established closer, we are right there with the Dodgers for the NL Title and a run into the World Series.
And I agree, starting pitching would be a little shaky depending if the young guys can keep up the good work, how Keuchel delivers and if Julio and Folty can keep there end of the deal ??
I might be a little over-hyped, but even if we don't get there this year the future is very bright !!

Greg Holland would be interesting I have a feeling the Diamondbacks will be selling at the Trade Deadline
