...and Stanton lurking in the background. We need to get Gordon out.
Wow. That was an embarrassing sequence of pitches, Grilli. Now, we have a guy on with Stanton up soon. Smart.
Need double play NOW!

Gotta think I'd walk Stanton and take my chances with the next guy regardless of what the book says.
Tempted to walk him
WINNNN

It's too bad the Braves don't play the Marlins more than 19 times this year.
Just like that, Atlanta could be 2.5 or 3 games out after tonight. That is very telling of the NL East considering Atlanta is two games under and is only 11-17 when not facing Miami.

The Gosselin Maybin Cunningham Triumvrate are unbeatable.

If you want to be a playoff team you have to beat teams under .500. There's nothing wrong with what he said. He's also been very complementary about how competitive the Braves have been this season. I don't know what more you could ask for.
There's a thread in the mainboard asking the question about why MLB doesn't market their stars better. The fans want to talk about Stanton because he's exciting. If you want to appeal to a national market then you have to highlight the best players on the field.

Just saw the Stanton HR. He made that deep ass CF look like a little league park. That was fun to watch. I don't care who you are.
My boy Jace with another two hits and a bomb. Nice to see the power finally starting to show up.
thank you weso1!
