Atlanta is 2-5 since Freeman said Snitker should be back for 2018.
expecting a yuge game from Freeman
We can't trust Freeman's judgment on things. He thought it was a good idea for him to play 3rd and he thought Olivera was the real deal.
WTF FF! He tried to hit that to ss
Barves.
LOL at Joe.
Even though he is an atrocious baseball analyst, I do like how he gets his barbs in on horrible umpires he dislikes, Bryce Harper, etc.
I'd be going ballistic if we were in a pennant race and got a guy almost picked off from not sliding back and then really getting picked off not sliding back
Swanson is hitting to all fields since coming back up and isn't striking out. Good to see. The hits will come.
Yep. He's faced some good strike out pitchers too. I feel a lot better about himQuote:

Dansby hitting the ball
That hit reminded me of Swanson's first career major league hit.
I'm anticipating the point of when Snit the Twit is going to blow this game. It will likely deal with leaving Dickey in too long or taking him out early.
Brandon Phillips showing he can play third and still hit is setting himself up to make some money.
Phillips!
Anybody think Phillips will be the 3B in Atlanta next year? I do.
If he keeps playing like he has he could be an excellent and inexpensive bridge to the future.Quote:
