Snitker has his streak-stopping lineup out there.

Smart man

[DirkPiggler]

Trying to think...what is the opposite of a slumpbuster?

Maybe the Braves are just the fat girl in this scenario.

[nsacpi]

The fat girl who is the most fun to dance with.

[Julio3000]

Not the prettiest girl at the dance, but with a lot of grit and veteran leadership.

Also maturity and clutchness.

It's only been a few games, but Alvarez looks pretty interesting. You can see how this guy had a 14 K/9 rate against LHH in MiLB. Effectively wild so far.

Could not have put it better myself.

We have actually uncovered 3 lefty relievers who look like keepers.

Yeah, it's a nice little development going into next year. Even if one of them turns south in the second half or gets hurt, we're in a much better position from the left side than I would have guessed. Now just need to hope Simmons and Winkler can get back to health from the right side.

[nsacpi]

I would settle for one of Simmons or Winkler making a return to his best form. Both would be fantastic.

Man we were spoiled when we had Venters O'Flaherty and Avilan.

Yep, either one would give us a legit late-inning reliever. Winkler from March to mid-April was the most dominant Braves pitcher I saw all year . . . by far.

Poor Albies... Gonna be blocked by jace for a long time. Ok, maybe not, but jace is playing well

[mossy]

Jace hitting with a 7 game hitting streak.

Jace is young and will be a useful player for Atlanta as a super utility guy. He got some reps in the OF at Gwinnett, so he is a guy that can play a little short, second, possibly third, and in the outfield.

[nsacpi]

Snit thinking a couple moves ahead letting Cervenka pitch to Stanton. Now he gets a righty against Johnson.

[jsebe10]

Pierzinsky and Aybar are hacks.

[nsacpi]

Need a left handed bat for the bench.
