    Something we have going for us. Scherzer won’t be back this weekend. We’re lined up fairly nicely to take 3 of 4.

    I’m just surprised no one here pointed it out while it was happening. I was talking to my brother about it.

    It made no sense. On any level.

    It was some of the most questionable managing I've seen since Fredi.

    He probably figured the season was lost already since we dealt them the deathblow a while ago.

    2 walks and a walk off single by JD the bust.

    The Braves aren’t paying him to walk and hit singles.

    Trade for Bumgarner and extend him for 5+ years because pitchers in their 30s age gracefully and he is a surefire HoFer.

    I wasnt even mad when Jackson blew the save. I can live with a single and a homer. I cant stand walk after walk after walk after walk after walk followed by a hit. Otherwise known as the Kyle Wright Special.

    I hate having a near .900 OPS player at third base. It really handicaps the team.

    OPS = other peoples stats. I don’t care about OPS. Homers and RBIs. That is a true 3rd baseman.

    Let me channel Bill Shanks for a moment.



    "If Donaldson is going to walk all the damn time then he should be hitting lead off



    From the mind of the man who wanted Chipper to bat leadoff.
    "Donald Trump will serve a second term as president of the United States.

    It’s over."

    That whole Shanks twitter thread had me rolling. It’s almost incomprehensible that someone could be so stupid. Instead of taking walks you’d rather he swing at pitches outside of the zone? Master the oppo field bloop single? SMH
