    I hope the commentor who asked why the MLBTR staff seems so against the braves reads this chat.

    “if the braves keep winning the nats lead is not guaranteed to be a runaway” Keep winning? They are 2-8 over their last ten.

    Perhaps they choose to only publish dumb comments, but it’d seem that a lot of the reason the replies seem negative towards that team is because a lot of the comments are just nonsensical and could be prevented with a simple google search.

      FWIW, I wouldn’t generally answer such a question, but it was in response to a prior answer I gave and I guess was feeling argumentative!

      Wait, you mean if they trade for Jose Bautista they won’t go undefeated for the rest of the year? That guy cracked me up.

    At this point in their careers is there that much of a discernible difference between Verlander and Santana? Verlander gets more Ks 8.7 to 7 and less Hrs 1 to 1.5 but gives up more hits 8.8 to 7 and walks 4.2 to 3. ERA+ tilts way in favour of Santana. Not to mention that Verlander is owed x3 the money. If the money was even, I could understand someone preferring Verlander but the gap doesn’t seem all that significant.

      Well, it could be partly that I am conditioned to see Verlander as ace-ish, and have bought too much into the 2016 restoration, with Ervin always seemingly more like a solid but mostly unexciting guy. JV is throwing harder than he has in years, which is a factor, and Santana has been reeeeally fortunate on batted balls. But the Erv contract is way better; can be controlled for next two years at half the price of Verlander, and the second year is an option.

      It’s a fair point; I may be overstating it some, though the key here is that I was focusing on a team like the Astros, which is going to win its division but is thinking of how to win in the postseason. Santana might well draw more interest as a winter trade piece.
