GDT 811/14: Braves (Teheran) vs. Dodgers (Correia). NO KERSHAW SERIES!

[CrimsonCowboy]

It shows how misleading batting average can be.

Certainly true. The other part of that saying the Braves are the 3rd most clutch team, I couldn't believe that by watching them this season.

I find it funny that people are harping on Julio he's incredibly advanced for his age

For those that want a change of pace, tune in to NBATV right now. Skip is calling a Lakers/Bulls game from 1988.

Pena is awful. At hitting, at defense.

Which true fans have "given up"?

And you couldn't be farther from your observations. I think many of us "true homers" recognize this team has flaws, but for people like you to constantly point it out everyday, it isn't going to change anything and it only ruins the experience of actually watching the game with others here.

People like you are never happy when we're winning, and you get a sick taste of I told you so satisfaction when we aren't doing well.

Everyone on here knows you're notorious and one of the biggest offenders of this.

What are their avgs with RISP?

Thank you

Change of pace is called football.

I go back 40+ years watching this team...4 games back isn't all that much with 44 games to go...but my eyes tell me it is for this year's team.

[ESP47]

If the Dodgers weren't so near sighted they'd let us win the next 3 games to help us get into the playoffs. That way they can sweep us for an easy first round series win.

His mechanics still scare the hell out of me. Only a matter of time.

Yep. Same with Wood, really.

[AerchAngel]

we suck.

bottom line.....cause Stone Cold says so.

We will stomp supposed aces like Strasturd and get pwned by Jabronis like AAAA Correia.

Who in the blue hell is Correia?

I don't get scared the hell by Julio though he for sure has some concerns. I dont' feel like he's using his ideal power generation which for sure leads to injuries more often than not. Wood though on the other hand is scary. I would love to be smarter on the topic to see how much power exactly comes from his mechanics but watching him it seems like it's really violent and it's heavily straining his upper body.

[chipchildress]

the team i saw on espn last night was just an embarrassment. doesn't seem like there's much caring going on at the moment. it's the braves way not to do anything about it though, so go braves country!

It's incredibly tough to care about this 2014 team anymore.

It's incredibly tough to care about this 2014 team anymore.

Its been like that for basically the whole season.

[The Chosen One]

While I care about Wood's mechanics as well, he didn't get a nice contract extension.

[CyYoung31]

It's amazing to hear people say that they don't care about this team anymore. Yeah, this season has been a downer for the most part, but you can bet that I still care about them and hope they turn it around even when it doesn't look promising. I mean, it's not like we're in the cellar with no chance to make the playoffs.

Agreed. Frontrunners

You'd think that the people who don't care would spend less time and energy telling everyone how much they don't care

I DON'T CARE!

[thethe]

Also, I believe fans can get disinterested based on the current mix of players. I still follow minor league boxscores every night and will watch the occasional game but there is just something different about the team this year and I don't really like watching.
