C-ya, Bud..
Thronson5
Wood was looking better his last like 5 starts I think it was besides the start he got hurt in. I’m glad to have him back if he can pitch like he was. I am very glad we won’t have Norris on the playoff roster. That guy gave me a a lot of anxiety lol

Bye Buddy! Hope you find your dad!

Wow… Looks like the folks above forget he pitch a few good games after Kershaw went down. Those comments sound personal!
BlueSkyLA
Like, two good ones. Everything else was awful.
Cam
Yeah, he fell apart pretty quickly. Went back to being the old Bud.
ndiamond2017
looks like people forgot about the perfect game Philip Humber threw a few years back… why isn’t he on a team??
dgrblue
Dallas Braden also threw a no-hitter, and he, and his skullet, is on ESPN…even journeyman pitchers get spotlighted occasionally.
TheMichigan
IIRC Dallas got hurt and had to retire

Same with Humber. Like all Rice pitchers, he was heavily abused in college. Jeff Niemann is another example.
Sports
His father should round house kick the LA front office.

Why didn’t they just trade him to the diamondbacks probably could have got a couple of there top prospects
MatthewBaltimore23
Lol
wants to be a GM
If he falls to the Indians, I hope they pick him up. Anyone with more than half of a year of MLB experience to be #5 in the rotation would be nice (at least for the rest of the regular season).

Good move
AngelFan69
Not to worry… The kakabrainiacs will tender him a huge contract….

Lol stop commenting about genius boy Eppler

Thanks to Cardinals’ espionage, we learned that the Astros wanted Gregory Polanco for Norris. Thank goodness Huntington said “LOL, no thanks.”
gmflores27
Got Fisher and Hader though

The Giants need to do this with their bullpen

Well, I was hoping that trade would end up being a win-win for both the Dodgers and the Braves..
It truly looked like both sides won after Bud was making some strong starts, but unfortunately he then fell apart..
The Braves were more than happy to get Dirks back in their future bullpen plans. Dirks was nothing short of just filthy and dominant once he came back to the Braves!!
Pfeiffer has had some ups and downs, but Dirks was clearly the pitcher the Braves wanted most!!
Dirks will help highlight an excellent pen moving forward, and coupled with some combination of Chris Withrow, Ian Krol, Akeel Morris, AJ Minter, Jason Hursh, Mauricio Cabrera, Arodys Vizcaino, Bradley Roney, Daniel Winkler, and Paco Rodriguez the Braves have set themselves up with what should become one of the younger and more exciting bullpens in the NL…
Vinny Time
Could not trust this guy to pitch a meaningful game, Hopefully, genius Friedman does not collect any more damaged pitchers so they don’t need to trade for guys like Norris. With the emerging DeLeon and Urias next year LA should be really something. Maybe Pirates or Cards can set Norris right.
Blue_Painted_Dreams_LA
You might want to hold off on that. DeLeon and Urias will be in AAA upon opening of next season to season. They also going to probably start Stewart late because he’s never thrown as much as he has those year. They are going to start them late so they are available for the playoffs. If they re sign Hill you will still see the #4 and #5 guys being oft injured guys try to claim a spot. So you will still be disgusted at least two months into the season lol.

And in related news Bud was picked up by the Angels.
davidcoonce74
Bud Norris has always carried such extreme platoon splits; I’ve never understood why a team just can’t commit to him as a bullpen piece to get right-handers out.
bravesfan
Braves could pick him up and use him as trade bait again maybe? I don’t really want him back cause I’d rather see our young pitchers struggle rather than see him struggle. But If he pitches like he can, then it’s a positive pick up.

He and Kelly Johnson could split a time share!
