The Braves keep rolling, sweeping a very good team in the Cardinals. The schedule from here to the all star break is heavily loaded with division games and interleague play with the AL East, no small task.

The bats have been backing up the pitchers of late, I'm hoping we get some more quality starts out of Delgado, Minor learns to keep it in the yard and Beachy keeps being himself.

Freeman quietly 3rd in the NL in RBIs, developing into quite the player.

Well, it's painfully clear Minor needs to lose his spot in the rotation. 3 Hr's to 3 straight batters, 4 total, one to a pitcher. Same crap the whole season.

Now it's only who will replace him, doubt they have the numbers Oswalt wants. Seems like they want to keep Medlen as long relief right now and Hernandez is a question mark to wether he can stil give you a solid outing. JJ and Teheren not really showing much in AAA.

So in who saw that coming news...there are reports that the starting rotation after the break will go Tim Hudson, Tommy Hanson, Ben Sheets

Pitching will play a big role in how well the braves do in the second half and it'll be interesting if starting Sheets is the only thing they do to shore up the starters. I'd hate to see them give up some of the young pitching prospects for a rental player. The pen has me most worried of all, hopefully Venters' vacation will prove to be a miracle and get his arm back on track. It has to be priority #1 at the trade deadline.

Shame on the Simmons hand injury...at least it looks like we'll be seeing great play at SS for years to come and hopefully in about 6 weeks he'll be back.

Should be an interesting trade deadline for a lot of teams.

      Baldinger on the 2026 LB Class

      By PleaseCutStewart · Posted

      As long as we have DB, odd man fronts are the way to go for us. We want to line DB up between the guard and tackle (4i-tech) because of how quick he is off the snap and his punch on the guard off the snap. If anyone is wondering why he pretty much has to be doubled (or combo blocked) just about every snap, its because he is lined up in that spot in our odd man front. If we change to an even front, it becomes a lot harder to have DB play the 4i-tech.  Not sure if I would say Evero likes smaller NTs - I wouldn't call Bobby Brown a small NT by any sense. I think we run a 1-tech NT, so they are usually getting double teamed (or combo blocked) by concept alone. I actually think Bobby Brown did a pretty good job of eating blocks and being positionally sound on most runs at him (not his fault we were rocking ass LBs last year + Wharton being god awful). The bigger problem came on the toss plays/outside runs where DB wasn't able to blow it up in the backfield (i.e., the Bills game). Lloyd should help with the run D and getting a rangy LB in the draft will definitely help. There are also some good 1-tech DTs (and 0-techs) that can be instant day 1 starters for us in the draft.
