I think the Astros win the AL Pennant now and possibly the World Series

I never bought into the Christian Pache rumor. Didn’t know if it should even be mentioned.

hmm, now i'm thinking about a like so i can unlike, you scared the crap out of me there...
can't say ive completely digested this flurry but since we still got Pache,waters,anderson,wilson,wright i'm feelin pretty good about it all.
Now we just need two of Wilson,Wright,Folty,Gaussman to step up and them dodgers can go eat popcorn while watching the world series

I hope the Braves still grab a starting pitcher

There are a lot of GM's in MLB who are pushing for the trade deadline to be moved to August 15th in the future

They didn’t get one. No waiver deals allowed in August, this year.

The Braves will have the weakest starting pitching lineup in the Playoffs this season

I heard that the other day. It might allow a few teams a couple more weeks to determine if they are sellers.

I'm strongly for the deadline being moved to August 15th

The Astros gave up 3 of their top 5 prospects in the Greinke deal.

It’s a good compromise. I never liked the waiver trading format.

I knew it would be damn expensive to get him

Zack Greinke to the Astros from what i've read

This is the one I wanted. I'm ecstatic with what the Braves did today, but I really wanted Grienke. If Folty can keep pitching like he has at AAA, then this isn't a bad miss though.

Not seeing Alex Jackson confirmed, yet?

This Braves starting pitching staff reminds me of the 1973 New York Mets and the 1972 Detroit Tigers Playoff teams

1973 Mets

Tom Seaver 19-10
Jerry Koosman 14-15
John Matlack 14-16
George Stone 12-3
Jim McAndrew 3-8

1972 Tigers

Mickey Lolich 22-14
Joe Coleman 19-14
Tom Timmerman 8-10
Woodie Fryman 10-3
Bill Slayback 5-6

I'm ready to see what Mike Foltynewicz can do

I’m with you, but Arizona probably didn’t want much of that huge, huge contract. He’s a stud, I hear you with that. Although, would you want to give up 3 of our elite talents, plus another guy who was in the Houston top 10 before the season started?

Wentz was #7. Allard, 10. We did pretty good keeping the Farm intact.

I'm glad the Braves minor league system wasn't gutted

Same here. If Gausman struggles in the next few starts or we have another injury, Folty is next up. I only want to see Wilson, Wright in September for call-up duty.

Do you think the Braves should bring up Ian Anderson? I would like to take a look at his pitching.
