GDT 8/5 Braves (Teheran) @ Mets (Oswalt)

[CyYoung31]

I’m about ready for Fried to take Teheran’s spot in the rotation.

This is about as easy of a game as it gets in MLB... though I know nothing is easy. Point is, we’ve gotta get this win.

Yeah next 7 games will be tough - 4 vs Wash and 3 vs Mil, so this would be a good win to get in the books. Either way, the season's going to come down to the last 2 weeks most likely, when we play Philly 7 times.

That's 20 earned runs allowed by Teheran in the first inning of 22 starts this season. #Braves down 1-0 headed to 2nd.

I do love the way we lineup against Philly. Two good teams, but I like our game against theirs. We will see!

Maybe JT needs an opener to start the game

[UNCBlue012]

Swanson needs a week off. Goodness, dude. How many pitches down the middle do you need in a week? Lol

[msstate7]

We're gonna lose to the Mets, aren't we? Really hope not bc this would be a pretty tough series to split

it’s way too early to get frustrated. We’re just a weird, young team with many flaws that thankfully can be pretty easily filled.

I'm a big Swanson guy, but perhaps a phantom 10 day injury would do him some good

Why phantom. He has options. Send him down with the directive that he doesn’t come back until he is right. Serve notice.

Ronald continues to be 3 steps forward, then 5 steps backward.

[striker42]

Our offense better wake up. This guy isn't throwing 99 with a nasty split. No excuse for getting dominated.

So Acuna is getting worse overall?

I swear, the emotional roller coaster of this board as the Braves win or lose is alarming.

It’s. Been. Three. Innings.

[The Chosen One]

I don't know if the Braves have given up on fixing Julio's mechanics, but with how inconsistent his arm slot and chain is, it's no surprise they tried to make him change it in AAA that year before he got called up.

[msstate7]

In other disappointing news, touki...

It’s. Been. Three. Innings.

Yes, they have plenty of time to score today. But if we do get shut out for 6 by this guy then our offense should feel embarrassed.

3 runs in last 27 innings of this series

[striker42]

We're getting murdered by a 26 year old rookie

[Enscheff]

3 runs in last 27 innings of this series

Lol are you guys serious?

Just a couple days ago you all were pimping how great the team was again.

Now you’re moaning about getting shut down by a Mets rotation that is very capable of doing just that.

Comical haha.
