Not going to blame twit on this one. But I said it a few weeks ago. They can’t be in a spot where minter closes He wilts like Sean Murphy in Atlanta summer.

Well that's irritating.
Go get the Cubs tomorrow
Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
We just went from a sweep and picking up a game off of Philly …. To no ground made up all weekend.
I’m going to hang myself in the shower.
And minter for closer ? Nope.
The SNB curse. Seriously can't remember the last Sunday night win. Had to be early last year.
I blame UNC for not getting the GDT up before it started.
Can’t believe Minter threw that pitch …. Well, yes I actually can.

Offense is still awful and being carried by ozuna. Still not sure why there isn’t rotating days off and lineup shake ups until guys start clicking more. Already saw subs can get on base. I know our starters can strikeout at all star levels but so can the quad A players.
Luckily I knew Sunday night baseball had the Braves number so I don’t care about this one. Just hope AA is taking notes and he will coach twit about over working his stud arms so that he is forced to let minted close. Just go to Kerr.

Snit may have waited too long to pull Elder, but once he did the usage of the BP with Iggy and JJ down was very good. Minter should be able to get outs in the 9th.
Wasting 2 baserunners by being picked off are the inexcusable errors of this game. If Acuna is going to be a speedy ground ball hitting leadoff guy he will need to bump up that baseball IQ by roughly 100 points.

If Forrest Gump accidentally started playing baseball he would be exactly like Acuna.
Either Minter is going to have to get it together or we will need to bring in another reliever who is comfortable closing games. We will likely run into this situation again, especially if the offense is going to continue to get poor performances at the top of the lineup and make every game a tight game.
Braves are going to be alright, guys.
honestly it shouldn't be anyone.. It should be role based and player based. like if you are facing the Faillies, you don't let Riggy face Harper. He pitches whatever inning that is the bottom half. Then, when healthy prince albert and JJ can handle the middle of the order. starting to trust Bummer, Lee and Chavez enough to let them handle lower middle order and bottom half when needed. Minter should go to sports shrink and get the 9th out of his head or he needs to be replaced on the team.

Minter just can't close... for whatever reason... his mental toughness just folds in a save situation.
