going to make the playoffs fun to watch. No lead is going to be safe.
As I said, the Nats didn't bother to do anything at the deadline and it's going to cost them.
Maybe, but Braves did something at the deadline and it's already cost them some wins and blown saves.
Shane Greene with DET (before trade) 0-2, 3Blown Saves, 1.18ERA
Shane Greene with Braves (since trade): 0-1, 2Blown Saves, 11.25ERA
Chris Martin with TEX (before trade) 0-2, 4Sv, 3.08ERA
Chris Martin with Braves (after trade): 0-1, 10.38ERA
Mark Melancon with Giants (before trade) 4-2, 1 Sv, 3.50ERA
Mark Melancon with Braves (after trade): 0-0, 3.96ERA
So, other than Melancon, who's only been a little worse than before Braves acquired him, the other tow have been pretty bad so far.
In fact, last night, in trying to gain a split of their series with the Marlins, Braves used, who? former;y deposed closer Luke Jackson in the 9th inning to get, what, a Save?! So the Braves went back to the old closer who they were not confident in and had to replace with three other guys they trade for, and now they are not confident in their newly traded for guys, so they go back to their 'he's not good enough' former closer.
Dodgers in a walk this year--go ahead and win your World Series, get ti over with already so other teams can have a chance.
