Braves could be 7-1 over their last 8 with a bit more luck. Instead they're 5-3. This loss and the last loss to the Dodgers we're games where the Braves played better.

Missed opportunity. Glad Morton did well. Mchugh hasn’t impressed me despite his good work in the Al. I think his peripherals were good.
I’m never comfortable with minter, especially if a guy gets on early.
But I do think snit did the right thing using minter over smith.
We have a lot of days in a row. Worried about the pen.
I would have still had Minter in over Smith. AJ just didn’t have it today and defense didn’t help. Many of Smith scoreless innings are like a defense in football making a goal line stand when the offense had first and goal at the one yard line. The job may have gotten done, but it wasn’t easy to watch.
Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
I will say the pen has been a bit disappointing compared to what it was supposed to be
You guys are hilarious. It’s a sucky loss, but we won the series. I do hope AA can go get another right handed impact arm for the pen.
Alex Dickerson is starting to hit. I'd drop ford in favor of Dickerson tonight
2 out of every 3 the rest of the way gives you 100 wins on the nose even with the lower-leverage guys blowing one every here-and-there.
Using those guys every time you've won the first two games of a series is perfectly alright with me - even if you wind up with 95 wins instead.
Get me to October with a healthy Fried, Morton, Wright, and Strider in the rotation and Jansen, Minter, Matzek, Stephens, Smith, and Yates available two out of every three days and I'll be a happy camper.
It's a marathon, not a sprint boys!!!

Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
