Buzzbomb,what do you think will be done with the Braves starting pitching lineup if Dallas Keuchel pitches poorly again and falls to 3-6? I think if Mike Folynewicz pitches well the Braves could go to a 4 man rotation with Max Fried,Mike Soroka,Julio Teheran and Mike Foltynewicz with Dallas Keuchel being the 5th starter.

I was so disappointed with Keuchel in his last start. You know he lost a few he should have won. But that was his worst game, and it can’t be blamed on the lack of a Spring Training. He had a few other non-quality starts(didn’t go 6 or give up three runs or less). He’s a contact pitcher, although he has had a couple of big strikeout starts. Interesting that on a G.M. podcast, he said Dallas would be our #1 if we made the playoffs and faced Chicago or L.A.
Brian Snitker has been quiet on where he fits in, other than he’s in our top 4. Personally, I don’t think they forked out 16m. total to make him a 5 or swing starter. His past makes all our other starters look like puppies to him. I think he will be o.k., but don’t go by me, I thought Gausman was going to get another chance.

I think the Braves paid too much for a past his prime pitcher in Dallas Keuchel and i don't think he will be with the Braves going into Spring Training 2020.

This is a DC media guy I like a lot. He's beginning to express growing concern Rendon won't resign with Nationals. He & I both hope he is wrong. He has been pounding the table since preseason for Nats management to pay the price & get deal done.

The Braves very well could resign Josh Donaldson for the 2020-2021 seasons with how well he's playing right now and Austin Riley will be the future 3rd baseman of the Braves.

Put The Newker in and stop toying around with this silly bullpen. He should be able to give us two innings and shut down this last place team.
