    Good. Something hasn't been right for him. He needs to get healthy and right before the post season.

    "Back" meaning "clear your head, work on your mechanics".

    Well it looks like they really should have pushed for a SP now. Guess they were waiting to make the announcement before the trade deadline so they wouldn't look quite as desperate. Still didn't matter.

    Wow so a bad trade deadline and McCullers to the dl. Great news all around (though he's been terrible of late)

    I had suspected over the past couple of his starts that something wasn't right with McCullers's health.

    I bet he is healthy. He just needs to get away and work on his mechanics. Which is a smart thing to do since we have this enormous lead. Plus, it cuts down on his innings. Everything is for October.

    Everybody needs to chill the F out........they were going to put him on the DL again as they're monitoring his innings so he doesn't hit the wall come the playoffs.
