I blame Shelby for giving up a run. Like he doesn't even care out there

You all need to get over it. Are you seriously telling me you wouldn't rather have a super high draft pick next draft as opposed to a mediocre finish and a mediocre draft pick? Look, all of my feels are pulling me towards wanting a Braves win, but I have enough common sense to realize that losses benefit us more right now than wins, assuming that we aren't making the playoffs (we aren't).
thank you weso1!
Vandy continues to get screwed in this CWS.

Tonight's loss may be the one the high draft pick crowd has been looking for. The guys looked dejected. Gonna be hard to bounce back from this one.
I think everyone agrees that it does. Just a disagreement on how much OBP do you sacrifice for power.
I am starting to think we're one guy away from being a good team. If you had a guy like Cespedes in LF who could provide power and OBP and be solid in LF....this team looks totally different.
Freemans power is great because he is first and foremost a great hitter.

I am not giving up. I am not like half of this board that's been rooting for losses since Heyward, Upton, and Gattis were traded because they wanted a higher draft pick. That's silly. That draft pick might be David Nied. Never able to contribute. I just made the comment they looked a little down. You would have thought it was August or September in that clubhouse last night They have been able to fight back all year and there is still 90 games to go no reason not to think they won't fight back. Although I feel today is as close to must win as a June game can be.
People get too high and too low after wins and losses. Braves are missing by far their best hitter.
They could win the next 3 games and then all of a sudden we are a good team again. I'm going to wait to see where we stand on July 15th and then determine if I want to add a reliever or sell.
