I don't think the reason Braun is still here is from a lack of willingness to trade him or lack of confidence in our OF prospects . Yeah.....at this point if the Dodgers don't want to give up a reasonable return for him he isn't going anywhere......and I'm ok with that. You need veterans too.
If he doesn't improve his command and come up with a 3rd pitch he isn't going to make,it as a starter http://www.baseballamerica.com/majors/expect-josh-hader/
Barnes has been kind of unlucky in this inning but it's more late inning runs given up by the pen.....likely leading to,another loss...... Bullpen just isn't good enough if you want to be a contender......
I saw a play like that in another game a day or so ago with Kris Davis....he played it and they didn't call it a double.....they let the play continue.
