Swarzak with a .61 ERA in 14 appearances for the Braves.

Dude has been an absolute stud for us so far.

Hard to give up on arm talent like that. But at age 27 you have to wonder if this just is who he is.

Something has got to give for him.

We traded two guys with stuff for a nothing burger that’s somehow owed more money

Meh? His friggin FIP is a touchdown AND the 2 pt conversion. Meh??

Did he die?

I wouldn’t have DFA’d Biddle so using that to justify the trade doesn’t help IMO

Guys all over the league throw 95-97 with cement mixers. Most of them are in middle relief. I’m not sure what we’d be giving up on.

Yep - I never believed in the best version of him. He’s a headcase.

Absolutely. Should’ve been first order of business.

Sobotka the corresponding move for folty

Let’s hope he keeps the good time rolling

Time to go get Bauer or Stroman. I prefer Stroman

So who do we call up to replace Folty? Newk? Bryse? Give Touki a shot?

I don’t have to wonder. We’ve seen this in the regular season and we’ve certainly seen it in the postseason. Time to move on.

Best we’ve had since your boy Reed Johnson

We are a Brooks Conrad away from being the Goat bench

Iget what you're saying but.... He hasn't so far and we're in 1st place.

Our season doesn’t depend on it but he isn’t good as a SP. We will need to make a trade for sure

Constanza was the

 

[Kingston Vol]

They’re being tougher with him than I would’ve imagined.

 

[Kingston Vol]

One bad thing happens to him then his attitude and posture goes to **** and then his delivery and release point are gone.
