    Snit likes calling for steals. Only when Freeman is the runner on 1st.

    It's been a long time since we have seen Viz lose the strike zone like that.

    Don't mind the loss though.

    I think that was the biggest issue people had with both the Soroka and Riley picks, at least I know it was for me and from what I remember for most posters at the time. At the time I was miffed we didn't go with a bat with Soroka's pick and grab Soroka with the next pick. Obviously in retrospect it wasn't worth taking the risk Soroka wasn't there. I don't remember many being overly critical of the Minter pick outside of being wary about the TJ angle.

    I can't stand the Nats. In fact I hate them so much I'll pull for a cubs' sweep and I hate the cubs too.

    Chuckie's tells all his pitchers that if you keep throwing the ball as hard as you can, eventually a hitter will swing. you have to trust the process.. I mean that philosophy propelled Chuckie all the way to AA with a 7.1/9 BB... You have to believe in a guy like that...

    Indeed, thank the higher power that Minter was here to temporarily keep us in game #150. A win could trim the divisional margin to 22.5.

    Has there ever been a more unfair matchup than going from Sale to Kimbrel? Would have to think that starter/closer combo is close to the top of the list.

    Swanson is 4 for last 30 with 10 Ks

    Albies is 2 for last 22 with 6 Ks

    This is not how I want them to close out the year.

    I wouldn't conflate the two. The season numbers are what need to be looked at. Swanson is probably the biggest Braves disappointment this year (and I say this even from the vantage point of someone who never bought into the hype the way a lot of others around here did). Albies came into the season as a highly rated prospect and has enhanced his value if anything.

    It will bring down their price for extensions.

    I tend to give Ramirez and Viz a pass, if Viz would have been closing all year how many more wins are we talking about?
