Maybe Oswalt won’t agree. I mean honestly…what MS boy in their right mind would want to live in Philly?
July 29th, 2010 at 9:27 am
Glaus cleanup? Me no likey. (Hopefully this creates some reverse he hits 2 bombs mojo)

That’s a bummer on Oswalt. I got really excited when I heard they might be settling for Ted Lilly, the most unimposing pitcher by name and reputation.

Does this make us feel any better?
Roy Oswalt has a 5.25 ERA at Citizen’s Bank Par between 2007-2009. #Phillies

Who are they sending to the Astros?
July 29th, 2010 at 10:29 am
J. happ plus 2 prospects I think.
July 29th, 2010 at 10:35 am
I’m actually kind of glad to see Happ gone. He was a solid, young lefty for them. This is an older, less dominant Oswalt. The only thing that scares me about Oswalt is him winning a bunch of games for them that they otherwise would not have won. With the way their offense is going, though, anybody who holds the opponent at 5 has a good shot at a win. This definitely hurts them long term. I still like our rotation head to head and in the long run. The bats need to wake up, though. Go Braves!

They still have the same bullpen with Lidge at the end of the night… for now…
July 29th, 2010 at 10:51 am
Amended braves lineup: 1. Prado 2B, 2. Heyward RF, 3. Jones 3B, 4. Glaus 1B, 5. Diaz LF, 6. Infante SS, 7. Ross C, 8. Cabrera CF, 9. Lowe P
Michael Noboa? Do we need a 2nd baseman? It’s a rumor so we’ll see.

Fantastic…gonzo has flu-like symptoms. Hand sanitizer people! Bathe yourselves in it before and after every game!
July 29th, 2010 at 1:12 pm
Oswalt plans to Okay the deal.
Braves need to get up off the matt today offensively to take some modicum of momentum. This is the rubber game of our current 2nd half record. Lose today and drop a game under .500 since the break.
This game is urgent. And so far…
July 29th, 2010 at 1:31 pm
Why are the Braves hacking at first and second pitches all day long today? Are they just going to abandon their approach? The one that got them all those runs without much power? They’re gonna lay that down now? NOW? When Glaus is ice cold?
60-something pitches for Lowe through 3. And 34 for Olsen. Starting to look like garbage on offense.

Diazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Lefty DESTROYAHHHH!
July 29th, 2010 at 1:48 pm
Loweeeeeeeeeeeee. Hope DESTROYAHHHH!!
July 29th, 2010 at 2:19 pm
Lowdemort has not helped my back to school shopping experience.
July 29th, 2010 at 2:32 pm
I think the rain delay can only work in our favor. Lowe was done or should have been done anyway.
July 29th, 2010 at 2:38 pm
I have said it before (in this thread) and I will say it again: get Jose Bautista from the Blue Jays.
AVG OBP SLG OPS HR
Post All-Star .364 .397 .818 1.215 6
Last 7 Days .481 .517 1.111 1.628 4
A little low on the OBP based on AVG for my taste, but his AVG, SLG & OPS more than make up for it.
And he can play 3B, if we need it…
July 29th, 2010 at 2:48 pm
Sign him up.
July 29th, 2010 at 2:50 pm
Mark, do you know what his home/road splits are?
July 29th, 2010 at 3:01 pm
Yeah…I was just, ya know, wondering the same thing. Heh heh…Kate has good questions.

Just reading about the Oswalt deal. Not only did the Phils get Oswalt, they got him for nothing. Houston is paying nearly half of his remaining contract, and the three players going to the Astros are made out to be mediocre at best, including the big piece – Happ. That’s perfect.

Not for that time period. For the entire year, his numbers are not quite as good… of course, neither are Jason’s…
July 29th, 2010 at 3:38 pm
He didn’t hit well against the NL in interleague play either… but, then again, he is hitting better since the All-star break and interleague play was a while ago in the season…
He isn’t perfect, but who in the market is…
Reports: Deal for Oswalt to Phillies has been ok’ed my Oswalt…
July 29th, 2010 at 3:40 pm
Well, who can we get w/o giving up anything much???
It is our turn….
July 29th, 2010 at 3:43 pm
The Oswalt trade rattles me, no doubt (although not as much as the lackluster offense this week). But it’s true, as was pointed out earlier, he’s not the untouchable, dominant pitcher this year. Look at his game by games for this year, some are downright bad. http://tinyurl.com/29buc6c
