    Damn that's nasty.


    That puts him at 19.5 K/9 on the year. Jeezus!

      Imagine if Hader was still in Houston's organization? Remember they traded him and a couple others for Mike Fiers and Carlos Gomez. Houston's pitching could be even nastier.

        8 K is more than any starting pitcher Milwaukee has had this year in an appearance.

        Isn't he supposed to be destined for the rotation? Might arguably be better out of the pen if he continues to be dominant from there.

          Matt Kemp just had one of the better at bats you'll see off the bench against Archie Bradley.

              That's a real save right there.

                Yankees-Stros was well worth circumventing the blackout rules last night. Awesome game. Rockies-Cubs was pretty good as well. Pretty good night for the Braves (and me) to be off.

                  It's National Bugs Bunny Day. Let's all take a moment to remember the only 3-way player we've ever seen (pitching, catching, hitting)

                    Mike Soroka has been called up for tonight's game against the Mets. Move is just to give Teheran and Sanchez extra rest, but given the way the bullpen has been rolling, he may stay up for good.

                    Two of the three best prospects on the farm have gotten the call in the same week, and with it the Braves now have the three youngest players in the majors.

                      I really didn't see this happening after they announced Teheran was good to go...Mike is ready and I'm excited to see what he can do at this level. It's amazing how he's really outpaced Allard. They started together and Allard was ahead at first...then they were about even...and Soroka has just flat out left him.

                          Cubs leadoff hitter tonight is.... Anthony Rizzo?!

                          Interesting move Joe.

                            Ozzie was safe. Even the Mets fans knew it. Screw replay

                            WTF were you doing Endar? Why would you even be thinking about stealing 3rd in that situation?

                            WTF were you doing swinging at a 3-0 pitch with 2 outs Acuna?

                            A promising inning screwed up by BS replay and terrible decisions on base at the plate in good situations.
