Epic collapse.

Epic collapse.

worse than anything from the fredi era

I was really wanting to finish strong to get that #1 pick.

There's still hope as we're going to be facing some contending teams here soon. Problem is Minny is dealing with the same thing.

[CyYoung31]

Extent Snitker?

Extent Snitker?

I'm not sure it's come to that yet.

Kemp really found the fat part of the bat with that.

[UNCBlue012]

So many fat jokes on this board 😂😂😂

Bring on the gnats. Let see if this was us just taking advantage of ****y teams.

Weber vs scherzer tomorrow. Probably not a good gauge

So, a day off for Dansby, huh?

[Horsehide Harry]

Can't damage the goods. Really, really need him to finish the season batting above .200 with an OPS over .500 or else someone might question the reasoning behind bringing up a guy who most said, even Hart, wasn't ready. One way to do that (if it can be done) is to sit him against the better pitchers.

[msstate7]

Pretty sure that was back-to-back wins with no hits w/RISP. That speaks to some hellacious pitching.

Please led Bradley take one of the starting roles.

Not sure why we're starting Weber over Bradley tomorrow

[Enscheff]

Not sure why we're starting Weber over Bradley tomorrow

Because Weber was the Braves #1 prospect a short while ago, duh.

Dude has played 2 straight days. Give him a break!

[Enscheff]

.574 OPS.

Where are all the posters mocking those of us who said he wasn't ready and it was stupid to call him up?

Do you all still think this performance on a last place team was worth losing control of his age 29 season?

How about those boosted attendance figures due to the masses turning out to see Swanson put up a putrid batting line and sit against any above average pitcher?

I'm so glad they burned a year of control for that!

If he's not OPSing .600 now he probably won't be OPSing .800 then, so it doesn't matter.

I am right here. Still have almost a month to go. We didnt lose any service time because he was going to be on the opening day roster. He can suck in this MLB trial but if he hits the ground running next year in the majors then this callup was a good thing.

[Enscheff]

A 22 year old struggling at the MLB level after a little over a year of professional experience means he won't be significantly better at age 29?
