Still can't believe the Red Sox are alright fielding: Nava, Bradley Jr (I don't mind bc he's young, and time to develop needs to be given), and Gomes. I know this has been beaten to death, but still … …

Plus, Holt is forced to play LF because of the way he's been playing at bat (which, I'm happy with).

The most surprising thing about that to me is that Cameron Maybin is still in the league and putting up a 115 OPS+

That is Cameron "I was traded for Miguel Cabrera" Maybin.

Braves fans are the worst.

Your pitcher intentionally beaned a batter based on two complete accidents by said batter. Braves started poo poo and then the fans act bewildered anything escalated. Get over the need to blindly defend your scummy team.
Baseball is dumb and intentionally hitting people for stupid poo poo is the norm. He didn't go for the head so whatever.

Gomes is fine as long as you let him be Gomes (he's killing lefties like always). It's Nava falling off a cliff that has been the biggest problem with the Red a sox offense this year. That and Victorino bring hurt.

Reminder Johnny Cueto thru 14 games has a WHIP of 0.77 (.2 better than anyone in baseball).

And if you are a fan of baseball and the Braves aren't at the top, or nearing the top of the list of teams you hate the most, they really loving should be.

They've been abusing the hell out of their AAA arms and there have been some injuries to that bullpen too. It makes sense to sign him.

He'll be fine, it's not serious. I know everybody freaks out when they hear "elbow discomfort", but I doubt he misses more than 1 start. He said in an interview today he could pitch through it.
