They traded Betemit for Aybar that attempt on that foul ball reminded me of A-rod. They got rid of hr hitter for a guy who halfasses it on the flyball that should have been caught! Braves need offense not pitching.

The Braves offense has been the best in baseball since the All-Star break. Their bullpen was as bad as anybody's, and Baez has been very good since coming over, as has Wickman. i loved Betemit, but the trade is working out well for both teams.

You base a team's offense on one game?

The Braves needed pitching desperately. Their offense is among the best in the National League.

I didn't like the trade because Betemit is going to be a stud...but to say their offense sucks and they don't need pitching is just not accurate.

Tyler Yates came in and did a stupendus job in relief.......it's too much to ask to a Braves reliever to get outs...Fire Rodger Mcdowell and replace him with someone who knows how to help young, idiotic pitchers.

The Braves bullpen blows giving 5 runs in the 7th. 6-3 Phils.

the braves bullpen once again gets the job done and looks like it may lose another game.unless wickman can start throwing 3 or 4 innings in relief is going to be a year watching the playoffs on tv for the braves.I am a braves fan but deep down I really wish for someone younger than bobby cox to take this team over

I like how the Braves keep trying to fool themselves by saying they are still in the playoff hunt.......they're not even close.

the sad thing about the braves is the future is not looking all that bright either.I live in an area near their farm teams and they used to get some of the best just because of the name. Now teams like minnesota and arizona and of course the yanks,sox,etc.. are leaving the braves behind. I just hope there are some major changes.this is the last braves games for me unless its totals,they just look awful.the bullpen all year has been pathetic
