I really want this win, but I just feel Godley will produce something immaculate.

isn't today supposed to be his day of rest

[cajunrevenge]

We torched Godley for 7 runs in 5 innings last time so I predict he shuts us down for 7 innings today.

Mistake not getting camargo in the lineup

I'm okay with it the next two weeks. I'm for anything which may better showcase Adams and Phillips since neither have a future with the club.

[nsacpi]

expecting a yuge game from Flowers

[CyYoung31]

I was thinking about pinning this thread, but I don't want to jinx it.

[Garmel]

Looks like the rest and the acupuncture did BP a lot of good.

[Ozzie Swanson]

Ender is so good.

[Tapate50]

Arizonas uniforms... ugliest of all time?

[NinersSBChamps]

Why does everyone want to trade Phillips away? He's much better than anything the Braves would replace him with. Is it because he's not a ranked prospect? He's a plus defender and is hitting really well. He would be an excellent bench piece moving forward when he begins to slip.

You realize he is a FA after this year right?

I know you pride yourself on not knowing anything about anything, but surely you know that single fact?

He isn't allowed to come back to the Braves? I thought he really liked it there. Has he openly come out and said he wouldn't return and perhaps have a reduced role if one of the so called studs the team has comes up?

[CyYoung31]

He's a plus defender.

[NinersSBChamps]

Have you seen that overrated former first pick at shortstop?

[Enscheff]

Remember when folks in this board were creaming in their pants with how much Adams had increased his trade value over a 2 week stretch?

Now he's playing part time as a platoon bat at 1B. How much trade value does a player like that have?

[thethe]

Braves are good. Have a shot to get 85 wins this year.

Just keep winning series. Everything else will take care of itself. Worst case we finish over .500, best we sneak in as a wild card. It will be a good year either way.
