These guys keep on hitting it on the ground against Miller. Loving that...low pitch counts and deeper outings. He still has the ability to blow that 4 seamer past you as well. 97 MPH+

Shelby Miller just blew away one of the top 10 hitters in baseball like he was a minor leaguer.
Got this guy for 1 year of a good player? WOW!

Damn, Miller is pumping them in there. All 97s to K Giancarlo. FIRE.
39 pitches thru 4. His efficiency has been amazing.
Speaking of Miller: impressive sequence against Stanton. I had to rewind and watch it a second time.
"For all his tattooings he was on the whole a clean, comely looking cannibal."
If he can work 95 all game, we've got an elite TOR guy.
It's the age old question that always divides a fan base--do you try to revive a failing product or do you tear it apart and (almost completely) start over? If the answer is the latter, then what pieces do you keep and which do you discard? We Braves fans have been pretty spoiled by having a team that's routinely competitive during the regular season.
IMO September 2014 was a watershed concerning the future viability of that team and decisions had to be made. I may be in the minority on this board but I think team management saw the writing on the wall and did what had to be done. That said, it sucks because we put a lot of emotional, and often financial, capital in the team and nobody likes to be told their team is "throwing in the towel" on a particular season.
So far, it's way to early to say whether management's decision was a good one or not.

Can we DFA EYJ already?

Another hit...
Cunningham going HAM. So glad they finally brought the kid back up.

Early but if Miller can keep it up, i'm not against extending him this winter and buying out a few FA years.
Provided both sides want to do so.
