Well looks like the Dodgers were bought with fraud money. As punishment I think they should permanently ban every LA-area sports team, just in case of corruption.

With Johan Camargo on fire the only thing i think the Braves need at the deadline is bullpen help....but they need a LOT of it. Winkler, Minter and Vizcaino are propping up six feet of trash

This is why I'm surprised Herrera went for so little. There are a lot of teams in need of bullpen help.

Looks like a couple of things. He's hitting more fly balls than ground balls for the first time in his career, which means he can get on base through infield hits less often. His swing rates haven't really changed but he's hitting fastballs a lot worse than he used to, which combined with hitting more balls to the opposite field might mean his swing's slowed down a bit and he can't catch up as easily any more. His BABIP's way down which is partly due to worse contact but he's also probably getting a bit unlucky in general.

I think as punishment, they should be given back to the McCourts.

maybe but the only other outcome is that he swung and missed which would still be strike three so there's no point

A group of friends and I did a bet on who would win divisions and WC before the season started and I didnt have Braves winning or making the WC.

Still a lot of baseball left but i feel like I might be wrong
