Fried P

[msstate7]

The albies, ozuna, duvall stretch is gonna lead the way this game and this series

[Hudson2]

Hate not seeing Contreras in there.

[Mad Dog Murph]

Hate not seeing Contreras in there.

We should petition the league for 2 DH’s.

[Hulavol]

One thing I have really come to absolutely loathe about the DH is the lack of opportunities for ABs by the bench guys - now given that our bench ain’t exactly the ‘27 Yankees sitting over there, this may be to our benefit…. But seeing Contreras not playing and thinking for a second “he will be first bat off the bench…oh wait, never mind” just kinda sucks

[Hulavol]

They hittin’ Max …..

[Hudson2]

I hate hearing Jordan say Riley

[Hudson2]

Stupid shift. Olson stung that

[chop2chip]

108 MPH and .840 xBA

Ugh

[drewdat]

Great ABC baseball by Ozuna getting the runner to third

[jsebe10]

Every time he gets hit he gets all pissy

[msstate7]

I won't apologize for that weak hit

[msstate7]

Bryan Reynolds...
.216/.303/.387
0.3 fWAR

Think the pirates regret not selling him? I'd be freaking out if the braves had dropped a king's ransom for him

[msstate7]

The braves have the a great catching tandem

[msstate7]

TDA with 108 EV. I didn't know he had that in him

[Garmel]

Bryan Reynolds...
.216/.303/.387
0.3 fWAR

The "Reynolds gave me AIDS" posts would be quite entertaining.

[UNCBlue012]

Sheesh, Fried. Got to get it together against these non-hitters my brother

[Hudson2]

If Dansby doesn’t win the GG it’s rigged

[Mad Dog Murph]

If Dansby doesn’t win the GG it’s rigged

Truth

But, It helps when there’s a morbidly obese guy running to first

[UNCBlue012]

[Hulavol]

When you said morbidly obese guy running to first … I immediately thought of Bob Horner

[CJ9]

The guy who throws an inning of mop up duty last night also gets the 7th inning in a 3-1 game. Makes sense.

[msstate7]

Great job, will

[Hulavol]

Love it “the night shift” ….will smith cleaning up the 7th….. then you got Minter ready to go…..
It hasn’t been like this since Johnny Venters and EOF with Kimbrel….

Harris with another hit !!

[chop2chip]

Impressive start from Brubaker. He should get better results than he does.

[Mad Dog Murph]

That dude makes Bob Horner look like an anorexic

[Hulavol]

It kinda does if the old saying of “closers don’t like going three days in a row, and don’t like sitting three days in a row” - meaning snot wanted to get him some work last night, he responded well and got right back in there tonight - then he can rest a day tomorrow if possible …. Right ?

[Hulavol]

That dude makes Bob Horner look like an anorexic

Fair ….. but damn…,.you don’t see too many big fat guys like Horner…or Chris Chambliss or John Kruk waddling around the base paths these days …

[Mad Dog Murph]

Terry Forster was bigger than all of them lol

[msstate7]

Looking like Olson's 16% k rate was a fluke. His k rate isn't bad, but no where near as good as last season

The boys are rolling!!

[msstate7]

I think jansen's rough patch is over

[msstate7]

Figured we'd struggle offensively after last night. Pitching took up the slack. Braves rounding into form

[Heyward]

Tied with Giants in WC, 6.5 back of Mets, lot of ball left to be played. 1 back in L column of Giants and Cards.

[Hulavol]

Good to see slippy get a W. Now, it was with Fried and going against the lowly pirates…. And it was a very closes game …. But certainly an early sign of progress.. we gonna need a healthy laser sharp slippy come October….

[Slippyjms]

5-7

[thewupk]

Team is looking real good right now

[WaitingFor2017]

Love to see how the Phillies have actually lost 0.5 a game to Atlanta in June even though both are undefeated this month.

[Nerfherders]

We are winning easy now. Gotta love these hot streaks while they last.

[bravesfanMatt]

Man 8 wins in row is hard to do, even against inferior talent. So doing that for the first time this year is incredible but I am still looking for our longest winning streak this year.
