GDT: 19/9/7 Los Bravos v. Los Nacionales; Swanson no esta jugando.

Cervelli ok? I know it's a lhp, but I'd like to get them all starts every other day

[nsacpi]

Expecting a yuge game from Hechavarria

[salmagundy]

His eyes are still closed with Riley in line up especially vs Voth

[The Chosen One]

His eyes are still closed with Riley in line up especially vs Voth

Yeah. Should definitely be Ortega.

But I guess Snit realizes the division is won so he's just giving Riley AB's to see where he's at.

[salmagundy]

Cervelli ok? I know it's a lhp, but I'd like to get them all starts every other day

Voth is a RHP

[Hulavol]

Acuna for YUGE game ...
Deathblow !

[msstate7]

Voth is a RHP

Sorry, I thought right, but typed wrong... McCann is the platoon advantage. I'd still like to alternate all 3 catchers

[Hulavol]

McCann is good for Julio too....

[goldfly]

i just want an epic Hechavarria bat flip on a sac fly or single

will take it in any case but just saying

[chop2chip]

Glad to see SAV bounce back with an A++++ OP.

Very impressive. It’s amazing how well he’s learned to adjust at such a young age. Very Acuna like.

[nsacpi]

Because we face so few lefty starters I dont mind if Riley, Duvall, Camargo and Culberson get some starts against righties. The overriding consideration is to keep them sharp and give them a chance to make the case for being on the post season roster.

[Braves1976]

If I had to choose I'd pick Duvall over Riley. But i am fine with both starting over Ortega who shouldn't be starting on a good team at all.

We gave Ortega a chance and he put up his usual .224 avg. and around .600 OPS, that isn't good at all.

[Hulavol]

Never thought I’d say this ... but we need Neck to hurry the hell up ... and he starts back off red ass hot like he does after ST...

[The Chosen One]

Never thought I’d say this ... but we need Neck to hurry the hell up ... and he starts back off red ass hot like he does after ST...

Don't think he's been able to lift weights since the injury.

[thewupk]

Why? Joyce is his equal against righties. Who we need back is Ender.

Ender is sorely missed on this team right now.

Ender has truly been one of those “You don’t know what you got till it’s gone” players this year.

Ender has truly been one of those “You don’t know what you got till it’s gone” players this year.


That really sunk in for a lot of people here who wanted him gone when Riley had his hot streak. Once those K's started racking up and Riley went from hitting a homer every other night to every few weeks it got quiet fast.

Ender has truly been one of those “You don’t know what you got till it’s gone” players this year.

I dunno if I'd go that far - he was beyond awful in the first half, posting an OPS+ of 68 in the 40 pre-ASB games he played in. He was great when he returned, but who knows if that's the guy that we get back

[Heyward]

Ender is sorely missed on this team right now.

Ender and Neck are.

He's always a second half player tbh, offensively speaking.

[Freshmaker]

True - that's his MO. Hopefully he starts off hot when he returns

[Slippyjms]

That really sunk in for a lot of people here who wanted him gone when Riley had his hot streak. Once those K's started racking up and Riley went from hitting a homer every other night to every few weeks it got quiet fast.

I’ll admit to being one of those people but I will say my concern at that time was Ender’s back and how effective he would be going forward. Worst case I figured Pache could take over.

[Freshmaker]

Bowman now saying that Neck will play in some simulated games next week, and might be activated next weekend

[chop2chip]

Did we ever get that update on Donaldson’s suspension?

[CyYoung31]

Did we ever get that update on Donaldson’s suspension?

He’ll serve his suspension in the playoffs.

[50PoundHead]

Bowman now saying that Neck will play in some simulated games next week, and might be activated next weekend

Do you mean Neckst weekend?

[chop2chip]

Genius move by Snit. We all know playoff stats don’t count.

[thewupk]

He wasn't healthy then. It was clear looking at his batting profile and sprint speed numbers. Something was off. He's still a ~3 WAR player and the 2nd best OF on the team.

That said we can hope that at least one of Neck/Ender are healthy enough to start in the playoffs. Either one with Joyce and Acuna in the OF makes the lineup a lot better with a righty on the mound.

[CyYoung31]

Genius move by Snit. We all know playoff stats don’t count.

I meant figuratively, not literally.

[Enscheff]

As I demonstrated right before he hit the DL, Ender was most likely playing hurt almost the entire first half. I showed how poor his sprint speed and exit velocity numbers were, which strongly suggested injury.

Healthy Ender is the 2nd best OFer in the organization, even if he should have his PAs vs LHP limited.

I have no idea why Riley is in vs a RHP, but maybe the hope is he figures something out now that the division is all but sealed up

[Enscheff]

That really sunk in for a lot of people here who wanted him gone when Riley had his hot streak. Once those K's started racking up and Riley went from hitting a homer every other night to every few weeks it got quiet fast.

Yes, the less informed fans were once again fooled by an unsustainable performance and weren’t paying attention when I proved Ender was paying hurt and predicted he would rebound nicely once healthy.

[salmagundy]

Stuff that Turner. Great move to 1st by Julio

[Freshmaker]

Sure, he could've been. If he was for the majority of the first half though, that's either on him for not being forthright with the coaching staff, or on the coaching staff for continuing to play him even while knowing he was hurt, In terms of simple OPS he wasn't very far off from career norms - he's a career .660 OPSer in the first half and was at .631 this year. In reality he's not nearly as good at the plate as he showed when he returned - he has a great .801 OPS post-ASB in his career, but was an otherworldly .931 in the 3 weeks after he came back. Regardless, I'll gladly take an .800 OPS Ender for the playoffs - that would be wonderful.

And yeah, Riley is just getting an opportunity to prove he belongs on the postseason roster since we have a playoff spot all but locked up at this point. His defensive versatility would be nice since he can play 3 spots reasonably well. He just needs to prove he can hit more than down the middle fastballs

[CyYoung31]

Baseball logic dictates that the Braves will get shut down by Voth tonight.

[CyYoung31]

Lol

[salmagundy]

Baseball logic dictates that the Braves will get shut down by Voth tonight.

Ozzie took exception to being shut down!! LOL

[UNCBlue012]

There are very few things I enjoy more than watching Ozzie during one of his hot streaks

[UNCBlue012]

What a bum, another walk for JD.

[CyYoung31]

HE GOT HIM. CHALLENGE IT

[CyYoung31]

Lol

[CyYoung31]

I can’t believe that ball hung up there.

[UNCBlue012]

I don’t understand how Julio does it but dammit he has some balls on him

[salmagundy]

Soto runs the Nats out of another inning. Didn't he do the same thing last night??

[Freshmaker]

Well, at least it took Riley 4 pitches to strike out

[CyYoung31]

Well, at least it took Riley 4 pitches to strike out

Duvall needs to be on the postseason roster over him.

[CyYoung31]

Dumbass Joyce.

[Freshmaker]

Yep, Riley's gonna need a nice hot streak to make it

[salmagundy]

Joyce covers Soto's base running error with his own!! DUMB!!!

[The Chosen One]

I like this Julio. Perhaps he doesn't feel he needs to be our ace anymore. He has accepted being the 4th/5th starter and has thrived.

[nsacpi]

Ever since Snit moved him to the four slot in the rotation he has thrived.

It's mostly mental

[thethe]

Riley with a solid play. Faster OF makes that catch eaiser but he still got to it.

He is showing himself well in the OF this year. That additional layer of flexibility will be useful the next 3 years with Donaldson starting at 3rd.

[Heyward]

That looked gone off the bat, need more runs.

Donaldson is going to get a couple 4+ year offers. Wonder if he wants to stay in Atlanta.

"Rain drops keep falling on my head......"

[CyYoung31]

That time when people dismissed signing a former mvp as Anthopolous simply hiring his buddy.

Riley right?

Hes back to being the 2nd best player in baseball.

[Freshmaker]

Donaldson is going to get a couple 4+ year offers. Wonder if he wants to stay in Atlanta.

I'm sure he'd like to, at how much of a discount is the question. At his age I'm sure he'll place a bit of a premium on winning. Wonder how many contending teams will need a 3B

[Heyward]

Hes back to being the 2nd best player in baseball.

Let's settle down now.

[Heyward]

Riley right?

With how bad Riley has looked, cant rely on him for a full year.

[thewupk]

Riley right?

Sadly

[thethe]

Now you understand.

Hard to argue the logic.

Who do the Braves have to pay the next 5 years? 5 years 140m? If this is the typr of production we can expect then it sounds like a smart move.

[UNCBlue012]

Donaldson is insane

[Heyward]

Donaldson is going to get a couple 4+ year offers. Wonder if he wants to stay in Atlanta.

I dont think he'll get 4 year offers with the QO. But it'll be interesting how AA figures out that situation, JD is pretty much the reason teams can pitch to FF now. First time in like ever teams gotta think do i pitch to FF or to JD.

[salmagundy]

Voth about to hit the wall at 70-75 pitches. He's at 74 with 2 outs in 4th and a 2-2 count on Riley.

[thewupk]

Hard to argue the logic.

You cant expect this type of production for 5 years

The Acuna/Albies deals basically helps situations like this. But also need to re-sign Freddie to a new deal as well.

I think JD has 2-3 more years at this level. Unless AA throws a blank check at Rendon.

[salmagundy]

Riley with 3 Ks in 5 ABs since being recalled.

[thethe]

You cant expect this type of production for 5 years

If you got 75% it still be a slam dunk.

[CyYoung31]

Hes back to being the 2nd best player in baseball.

Wat

[Freshmaker]

So we've decided to give up on Riley then? After less than 1/2 a season?

[Heyward]

So we've decided to give up on Riley then? After less than 1/2 a season?

Give up? No, but going into a year with him as the starting 3B as bad as he's looked isnt something i think AA should do.

Given all the options there should be at 3B/cOF.

[nsacpi]

I dont think he'll get 4 year offers with the QO. But it'll be interesting how AA figures out that situation, JD is pretty much the reason teams can pitch to FF now. First time in like ever teams gotta think do i pitch to FF or to JD.

Kemp

[salmagundy]

Riley reminds me of WTWHWTPH

[CyYoung31]

Kemp

Olivera.

[CyYoung31]

Acuna is worse than Riley.

[CyYoung31]

Seriously, Acuna isn’t even having good ABs right now. His slump in April wasn’t nearly this bad.

[CyYoung31]

Seriously, Acuna isn’t even having good ABs right now. His slump in April wasn’t nearly this bad.

I take that back. He’s worse than I remembered in May. I guess he’s just a really streaky hitter.

[Heyward]

Swarzak warming up..........

[Dalyn]

I take that back. He’s worse than I remembered in May. I guess he’s just a really streaky hitter.

I imagine that the pressure of 40/40 is getting to him a bit, too.

[Heyward]

That should be it for Julio, but i wouldnt go to Swarzak either lol.

[zbhargrove]

I take that back. He’s worse than I remembered in May. I guess he’s just a really streaky hitter.

Yeah but his cold streaks don’t last near as long as his hot streaks

Good call, Snit.

[UNCBlue012]

Wow! He’s ReDONE if you ask me

[Heyward]

Woulda gone Blevins vs Soto over Newk.

[thewupk]

That was worth 10 million

[CyYoung31]

Woulda gone Blevins vs Soto over Newk.

Agreed. But Snit probably wants someone to finish the inning.

[nsacpi]

Woulda gone Blevins vs Soto over Newk.

Switch hitter up after Soto

[CyYoung31]

Bad Newk. Pull him now. Don’t wait.

[thewupk]

Lol. Newk

[Heyward]

Now Newk cant find the zone. Here we go.

[UNCBlue012]

When Newk is wild, dude is WILD.

[Braves1976]

newk looks bad

[CyYoung31]

You know if Newcomb is going to be good or not after the first batter. He rarely finds it in the middle of an inning.

[UNCBlue012]

Pull him now. What an awful inning so far. Really surprised Snit went this route against the Nats best hitters.

[thewupk]

newk looks bad

He is bad

[Heyward]

Pull him, he cant hit the zone at all.

[Braves1976]

here we go

[CyYoung31]

Gonna leave him in there to blow the game. ****ing genius.

I would have gone Martin then here then mix/match the 8th now it's gonna be a stressful inning just to hold the lead.

[UNCBlue012]

He’s leaving him in against Zimmerman? He may get out of it but good Lord this is stupid.

[Southcack77]

Tomlin?

[UNCBlue012]

Lmao

[UNCBlue012]

That DP was such luck. Newk is trash tonight.

[CyYoung31]

WHY IS HE STILL IN THE GAME?

[Heyward]

Newk is still in, jesus, Snit is trolling us.

[thewupk]

Newk is still in, jesus, Snit is trolling us.

Wrong

[CyYoung31]

Thank God. Hopefully Tomlin can work his voodoo magic.

[Heyward]

How Newk had bases loaded 0 outs, and gave up 1 run was a borderline miracle.

[Slippyjms]

Snit is doing everything in his power to lose this game

[CyYoung31]

Wow. Braves getting lucky on some line drives tonight.

[Heyward]

Snit is trolling lol

[UNCBlue012]

Glad they got out of it with minimal damage. Seriously though, Snit’s in-game management, or lack-thereof, is going to hurt in the playoffs.

[Heyward]

Snit managed that inning as poorly as possible and gets bailed out.

[Braves1976]

lol josh owns the nats this year, they haven't hit him at all yet.

[Braves1976]

Snit managed that inning as poorly as possible and gets bailed out.

yea some terrible managing of the pen these last two, very lucky that only led to one run and not a tied game or worse.

[Heyward]

Glad they got out of it with minimal damage. Seriously though, Snit’s in-game management, or lack-thereof, is going to hurt in the playoffs.

I think in a playoff setting, they use their big guns there. Greene is unavailable today.

I would have gone Martin there then try to mix and match the 8th inning.

[thewupk]

I doubt snit goes that route in a playoff game. This game isnt that important to the braves.

[Heyward]

Looks like Greene going 3 in a row, he's warming up.

[BeanieAntics]

I doubt snit goes that route in a playoff game. This game isnt that important to the braves.

This is the 53rd most important game of the year.

[CyYoung31]

Acuna gonna finish with an .850 OPS this year. What a collapse.

[CyYoung31]

I doubt snit goes that route in a playoff game. This game isnt that important to the braves.

You’re probably right. It just feels like it because I want to own the Nats.

[msstate7]

Looking like albies down the stretch last year

[CyYoung31]

Just call it Turner Field.

[Heyward]

****ing Turner, he has never made an out vs the Braves it seems.

[CyYoung31]

Didn’t somebody say that Greene wouldn’t be available tonight?

[Heyward]

This aint good.

[UNCBlue012]

Now Shane has to work out of trouble.

[Heyward]

Didn’t somebody say that Greene wouldn’t be available tonight?

I did, it's his 3rd game in a row, i thought he'd be unavailable, i guess not.

[Braves1976]

why are we pushing Greene three straight?

[CyYoung31]

I’d bring in Blevins for Soto.

[thewupk]

Damn. Mac couldn't hang on.

[Heyward]

Lucky that stayed in the yard.

[UNCBlue012]

Dear God. Can someone contain freaking Soto’s old ass.

[CyYoung31]

Snitker is such a dumbass.

[Braves1976]

snit is awful, what he did to greene and throwing this game away is bull**** managing.

[Heyward]

Dear God. Can someone contain freaking Soto’s old ass.

He's actually been pretty quiet this series.

[thewupk]

Dear God. Can someone contain freaking Soto’s old ass.
Braves did all series untill then

[Heyward]

Greene was laboring, woulda gone Blevins to Soto.

[Braves1976]

I’d bring in Blevins for Soto.

snit is managing this game as if he has a bet on the nats winning.

[thewupk]

Greene was laboring, woulda gone Blevins to Soto.

Had him struck out

[UNCBlue012]

Braves did all series untill then dude is hitting like .350 on the year against the Braves. He terrorizes us

Hes a great hitter.

I mean, he does that to all teams, he's a really good hitter. Why do you have such dumb hot takes?

[CyYoung31]

Had him struck out

Doesn’t matter. Blevins was the correct matchup in that situation.

[UNCBlue012]

Still, clearing the heart of the Nats’ order for the ninth is nice.

[JusticeForAll23]

This manager + bullpen combo is a nightmare.

Feels like every damn game we give up 2+ runs after in the 7th-9th innings. Exaggeration, sure, but it definitely feels that way.

[CyYoung31]

Can the Braves recover from this?

[thewupk]

Doesn’t matter. Blevins was the correct matchup in that situation.

Lol

[CyYoung31]

Why isn’t Cervelli or Flowers pinch hitting?

[Braves1976]

Still, clearing the heart of the Nats’ order for the ninth is nice.

robles homered off MM last game and he is due in the 9th.

[salmagundy]

Why wasn't Martin in the game in place of Greene???

[CyYoung31]

Lol

Do you want to deal the death blow, or not?

[UNCBlue012]

I mean, he does that to all teams, he's a really good hitter. Why do you have such dumb hot takes? huh? How is my take dumb? You’re the one who seemed to think we’ve been able to contain a guy we clearly haven’t been to? You’ve either got a tiny dick or hate yourself because the overcompensating is pretty hilarious.

[Braves1976]

Why isn’t Cervelli or Flowers pinch hitting?

snit is going to have to be told eveything to do by AA or we are losing fast in the playoffs.

[UNCBlue012]

robles homered off MM last game and he is due in the 9th. you take Robles all day over Turner, Rendon or Soto, though.

[thewupk]

Do you want to deal the death blow, or not?
What? We dealt it 2 months ago.

[Heyward]

huh? How is my take dumb? You’re the one who seemed to think we’ve been able to contain a guy we clearly haven’t been to? You’ve either got a tiny dick or hate yourself because the overcompensating is pretty hilarious.

I said this series numbnuts.

Soto hasnt done much this series minus that hit. Continue over-reacting to every little thing though.

[CyYoung31]

What? We dealt it 2 months ago.

I’d just like Snitker to show that he knows the correct moves to make. I’d also like to clinch the division as fast as possible, so I’d rather not give away this game.

[Enscheff]

Snit just gave away the entire 8th inning after already giving up the #7 spot in the order for the entire game due to poor platoon decisions.

[UNCBlue012]

I said this series numbnuts.

Soto hasnt done much this series minus that hit. Continue over-reacting to every little thing though. Yes, which was in reply to my initial comment about the big picture. I simply played out the larger scenario in which Soto has been fantastic against us, as he has most of the league.

Also, overreacting should be one word in this situation, not two with a hyphen. If you’re going to be an ass, at least be grammatically correct.

Lol glavine said all these hot teams come in here and the braves just send them home mad.

And now, the closest the Gnats could be at the end of the series is nine games

It’s over. I mean, it’s probably been over for a while, but it’s set in stone now. Clinching is just a formality at this point.

DEATH BLOW

it's remarkable how often they do that, but against the dodgers and the best playoff teams that isn't happening as often if at all.

yea the nats are done, they just need as many wins now to keep home field in the WC game. They are not catching Atlanta this year.

Wasnt it Snit who moved Teheran down in the rotation

[UNCBlue012]

Eh i think most here would be OK with a split, 3 or 4 wins would be icing. We'll head to Philly 9 or 11 games up. yeah, it definitely helps me feel less nervous about tomorrow.

Nah. AA when he signed Keuchel

[BeanieAntics]

I'm furiously F5'ing the fangraphs playoff odds to see if this was the official death blow or not. Had the division at 99% heading into the game.

DEATH BLOW

FINAL DEATH BLOW

[UNCBlue012]

The Braves have a legitimate shot at taking the top seed in the NL, which I do not want.

[cajunrevenge]

Screw clinching at home. Let's clinch in Washington.

[chop2chip]

Glavine is awesome

He draws some ire round these parts, but I always liked him in the booth. Nearly died when he kept referring to Henry Blanco as Hank White.

[UNCBlue012]

Also, let’s take a minute to appreciate Julio. Dude has been money.

[50PoundHead]

Good win. Glad for Teheran. Snitker seems intent on wearing Greene's arm down to a nub.

[nsacpi]

The Braves have a legitimate shot at taking the top seed in the East, which I do not want.

you mean the west?

[thewupk]

Braves are 20-8 against current NL playoff teams.

Guys, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that wasn't the official death blow:

Unfortunately they still have 0.4% hope.

I feel he's misunderstood. He's got a dry sense of humor. I love listening to him.

[TheBravos]

Well...that should take care of the Nats.

[nsacpi]

That Julion option gonna get picked up

Glavine is a lot better than Joe.

No such thing as too many death blows

You mean the NL?

And the Dodgers are alot worse on the road than they are at home, like way worse. I dont see us catching them though, their schedule is much easier than ours. And i hope we can give some of our guys some rest down the stretch.
