Braves need to get the dream alive.

[Julio3000]

Nice play by Freddie saved at least a run. Good job of bearing down by JT.

[Julio3000]

Chip says his choice of superpowers would be "speed."

Yeah, I'll bet.

[msstate7]

Who was at fault? Did AJ want the slider?

[msstate7]

Someone remind me how great AJ is with our pitching staff. This debacle started with AJ coming out on a 3-2 count. Have no idea is they went with Teheran or Aj's pitch, but this game fell apart there.

[sentenza]

Mercy please!
Probably the worst Braves Team ever.
The players in the late 80ers were much better.

I'm not saying our issues with pitching is AJ's fault. But he doesn't help in the least bit. He's just not a good defensive catcher at all.

I don't see how anyone can turn this team into a winning team by 2017

Beth needs to catch full-time. He is much better with the staff.

because improvement by a current starter, addition of one more (which we have plenty for) and BP arms alone make us formidable. We add some offense and we can compete. Call me optimistic, I think it's logical.

We need to add a lot of offense. We're like the worst offensive team in baseball right now.

[sentenza]

At the end of the game we will have more hits then the opponent once again, but we lose by more than 4 runs.
Thats one of the biggest problem. Why didn't we score like our opponents?

[57Brave]

HR's

[buck75]

Gomes just "hit a thing of beauty" to score Simmons.

There's enough bullpen pieces.

SP, and offense is the concern, mainly the offense, no bats at all.

[buck75]

Starting to think that Jace may not have as much range as he did earlier in the season (maybe just a tad tired)

[sentenza]

Do we even have one bullpen pitcher who can get an out?
Its unbelievable.

Yea, Vizcaino. Maybe we can clone him? :)

Because our team has zero power. Singles all day isn't going to generally score much.
