Do you think the Braves would include Austin Riley in a trade. I think Adam Duvall will be a better player than Austin Riley and a trade involving him might be possible if the Braves get a nice player in return.

Noooo , not trade riley.Duvall is 8 years older and this is his 6th year. career .230 hitter. Good power but i'm not convinced he has further upside. Riley is 22,jus needs to learn to hit curves/sliders

I'm disappointed in Dallas Keuchel this season:rolleyes: The Braves instead of getting a prime Dallas Keuchel they got a player who reminds me of 1985 Rick Mahler:grumpy:

I've really enjoyed watching Keuchel pitch. He is not the ace that he was, but he is pitching a little better than I expected him to, especially after he didn't have a spring training. He is giving the Braves what we need though and I hope that the Braves either re-sign him or sign Bumgarner in the offseason.

Get Bumgarner and let Dallas Keuchel go in the offseason:cigar:

Maybe I’m wrong, but Keuchel left in a 2-2 game with runners on first & second, one out, bottom 6th. Sobotka walks a guy, fans one and grooves a pitch to a super hitter.
Why wasn’t Swarzak in there? Nats went with their best during a four run lead, Doolittle. I don’t think Dallas is the problem. He did throw too many pitches on an unbelievably humid night. If the Braves make the playoffs, he’s the #1 starter according to those three ESPN announcers. FWIW.

Gausman strikes out 8 Sunday in 6 innings, where the Phillies found holes and hit 3 HR’s, most he’s given up this year. I’m not ready to count him out. Most likely the only guy on this site who believes in him. He probably comes back with a nice outing this weekend.

Angels outfielder Brian Goodwin is drawing interest from teams seeking corner depth in the grass, Buster Olney of ESPN tweets. As a 55-52 team with a glimmer of a playoff chance, it’s unclear how open the Angels are to moving the 28-year-old.

I would rather have Mike Soroka or Max Fried start game 1 of the Playoffs and maybe have Dallas Keuchel start game 3:cigar:
