So? It's not like Jordan Schafer is Ichiro. He's struck out in his career 26.6% of the time, for Bossman's career he's struck out 25.9% of the time

Care to keep digging the hole?

This.

[Braves1976]

I missed much of the game tonight. But I saw in the boxscore Avilan's name without getting any outs. He wasn't hurt was he?

OK, I just read on twitter that Avilan was removed for Ayala after he hit a batter. I'd never bring in Ayala with the bases loaded in a 4-3 game, but I am glad it worked this time. I just hope it's not a playoff preview...

I've reviewed the Schafer vs BJ argument and decided the answer is "other".

Seriously, the "better" of the two has a .609 OPS? Good God y'all.

[Grayson Dawg]

You're right BJ is probably the league's MVP this year:) I know Schafer's career numbers are not great, but for the 2013 season he has done a better job than BJ. I throw out BJ's career numbers as part of the question why did the Braves pay him such a huge contract. Honestly can anyone defend BJ's play this season? One of the worst seasons by any major leaguer this season if not the worst. He is in a hole not me.

No they just brought him in to pitch to the lefty and he hit him.

Not a fresh injury, but I definitely think he is hurt.

Bossman has sucked this year, no one is defending that. Schafer has sucked since the end of May. So because Schafer was hot 4 months ago eh should play over BJ? I don't think either should play come post season.

Thanks, I saw that after my post when reviewing DOB's twitter.

I understand your concern there.

McCann doesn't care. That's why he is chubby. Glad we have Laird. Did you see his abs? That dude cares.

*shrugs* It gives us something to do.

[bravesnumberone]

Another win closer, but my God, FOR ONCE can we just win a couple games comfortably?

[bravesnumberone]

And I also prefer "other" on BJ-Schafer. Sorry, it's not going to happen for BJ. Time and time and time again, he's failed.

Gattis/Heyward/Justin is the way to go in October. Hopefully anyway.

Hit the wrong button. Sorry. But what's the magic # down to now anyway? If you know.
