The real barometer of the team will be seen tonight. Based on the number of Harang jokes will tell us all we need to know.

Drink when any of our 3-4-5 hitters K.
Drink when Gattis swings at a pitch outside the zone.
Two drinks when Tron swings at the first pitch.
Two drinks when a brave makes an out with RISP.
Two drinks when Jason hits into a 4-3.
Two drinks when Chip makes a play on words.
Two drinks if Chip refers to Harang's height or girth.
Finish your drink if Joe Simpson talks about somebody keeping their hands inside the baseball.
Finish your drink when the Braves fail to get a bunt down.
I'm game......already on my way for a few of these.....

Not sure I get batting the pitcher 8th, but oh well. It can't get worse.
This will be a short game thread...we will all be passed out by the 3rd inning

Chug an entire beer when the Braves hit a lead off double, followed by a K, then a fly out to advance the runner to 3B, then a grounder to the right side for the 3rd out...thus scoring zero runs due to terrible sequencing, and ushering in calls for playing small ball.

Man I work at 3am (Westcoast time) these drinking games are ganna kill me!!
I'm going to play my own private drinking game based around pleas for a team that can manufacture runs and hit with RISP.
Finish your drink if the broadcast shows or mentions Jen Harang.
Actually, according to "The Book", it is worth about 2 runs per season to have your pitcher batting 8th because the 9th place hitter will be getting on for the top of the lineup. Now that JUp is hitting 2nd, the current lineup is pretty much optimized (Freddie should be hitting 4th with BJ hitting 3rd though - the order of importance of out avoidance is #1, #4, #2, #5, #3, #6, #7, #8, #9).
Since Pena and Pastor are leadoff-type hitters, but not actually good enough to hit leadoff, batting them 9th in front of Heyward/JUp/Freeman is a good idea. Additionally, the pitcher will likely be PH for by his 3rd or 4th AB, so the poor hitting pitchers won't really be taking many ABs away from position/bench players over the course of the season. Each lineup position is worth about 17 additional ABs per year, and since the pitcher will be PH for approximately 25% of the time, the offense is only giving the pitcher an extra ~12-13 ABs per season.
Here is a pretty good explanation:

Read somewerelast week Freddie was toying with BJ in the 9 spot.
Didnt they do this once or twice with Schafers 1st go round?
I'm just glad I don't drink
Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
Ok...new hat is ready...lets go Braves!
Let's Harang-dang Tango.
Harang is a horrible hitter, he shouldn't bat at all.
any drinking game that involves Braves K's will get you drunk. Unless you have 10 drinks so regularly that 10 doesn't make you drunk.
