[The Chosen One]

BJ sitting again is crazy. He's had a rough homestand after not doing so bad on the road trip.

[Krovahn]

Hopefully Wood goes deep tonight so we can keep resting our bullpen.

I know we just had an off-day, but, giving them more rest today since we face Stras and Gio the next couple of days would be optimal.

[Dalyn]

Wood should be batting 6th. Sad.

[Braves1976]

Hopefully Wood goes deep tonight so we can keep resting our bullpen.

Wood getting his first Major league homer vs the Nats would be nice.

Not what I meant and you know it, haha; but, it would definitely be awesome.

True.

[Braves1976]

Schafer hasn't looked good either since returning from DL (including minors). Hopefully he starts to hit again tonight.

I hope so as well but it's about a 95% chance he crashes hard. He was playing WAY above is head before he got hurt

Let's put these guys away with a solid weekend of baseball.

[chopdrew]

I'll be down at the ballpark tonight. Hoping not to get rained on, but we lived so close to the park its either get rained on here or down there and...i can get pd level drunk there...

[NinersSBChamps]

Jan is back and is gonna get a hit!

[stpeteirish]

Let's put these guys away with a solid weekend of baseball.

thery're already "away" what is it, 15 games behind now? wouldn't mind it going to 20 by Labor Day tho.

[Heyward]

Saw that coming, got nothing but off speed.

Why is Laird hitting?

Why not Terdo.

[Diesel]

I hope so as well but it's about a 95% chance he crashes hard. He was playing WAY above is head before he got hurt

95% chance, huh? Very impressive.

[parkvadawg]

Times to put these folks out of their misery

Man I hate seeing Janish in the lineup. I have confidence in our pitchers.

Pretty good defense lineup though. I REALLY wanted to see La Stella!

Hopefully we will in September. Sometimes you just don't know when you can catch lighting in a bottle.

Think about how hot Gattis was in April/May. Imgaine if we got someone that the leageu didn't know about that gave us that type of production in October?

[Jay212033]

So your saying he was safe?! Shocker another missed call against the Braves.
