    Is it Motte's turn to have a bad outing?

    tv tidbit of the night: the 88 Braves did not win a series (I assume season series?) against any opponent. finished 54-106, 39.5 games out.

    Hell, I probably watched half of these games or more. Well maybe not watched, had it on in the background.

    Agreed. So because of that we should build a team out of guys that get on base 30% of the time rather than get guys who get on base 35% of the time....because you just never know!

    Further, we should not call guys with a .200 average to be bad hitters....because you just never know!!

    Only bright spot I can remember was Smoltz's debut, won it at Shea.

    The Braves just seem to be playing with a ton of confidence. Almost like they think they are better than they are.

    I am for aggressive running. But on a 2-0 count with big boys coming up... make him throw a strike or two first.

    Inciarte covers ground much better in cf than between 1b and 2b

    I'd like to think so but, realistically, I'd be happy with the 75 I predicted in the preseason. With Dickey and Colon in the rotation I just can't see 80 plus wins.

    I'm not sure I think that, but I am considering pretending that I do for dramatic and comedic effect.

    If the starting pitching was not garbage, they'd be over .500 now. Not really sure that's going to change though.

    This is clearly a WC team. Ignore the 2 worst stretches of the season and they are in pace to win 92 games.
