    This was a bad week, no doubt it. I got frustrated too. Thing is there is so much season left and these guys will get it going. Crap happens ìn a 162 game schedule. There are ebbs and flows for EVERY team. I would say don't go too crazy, but a few have already gone off the deep end.

    Phillies are now 8-2 in one run games. It might be one of those years.

    The Phillies have also only played 1 team over .500 besides us. The schedule will balance out.

    There were two games this road trip where the Braves beat themselves. 3-3 wouldn’t have been so bad.

    honestly that feels like a win. I would have figured negative since his defense hasn't been great...

    One was when Harris just let that ball drop right in front of him in extra innings. What was he thinking or not thinking?

    The only hitter worth worrying about is Kelenic. Nothing about his inputs so far has been encouraging. They are on the path to the worst case scenario for that $26M gamble.

    Kelenic is a candidate to get optioned June 1st, with either Duvall taking over full time duty (Snit’s preference), or AA acquiring a dependable LHH.

    I got to imagine that they will give him this entire month to show something.

    I'm not going to dump on Kelenic because it's likely there is some re-tooling of his swing/approach going on, but there were a lot of machinations performed to acquire him. Some of us who were critical--not of Kelenic but of the series of moves taken to make him a Brave--were told to shut up. He's going to get his chances and maybe he comes around and maybe he doesn't, but there's no denying this was a move that had a significant amount of risk attached.

    They could option him, but do we then have a Wall/Duvall mix out there? I don't know who is available otherwise, what we have to trade, and the situation vis-a-vis the next payroll threshold.

    It will be Duvall full time until the market opens up.

    Last Monday at this time, the braves had a 2.5 game lead. Right now, they're back 2.5, but the Phillies lead again today. Talk about a nose dive...

    The Phil’s are playing like the Braves did last June. By the time they decide to start actually hitting the lead might be too big. But like others have said a wild card birth doesn’t bother me. Let other teams sit for a week
