    well, we should at least be 46-45... lol we’ve likely played well enough to have a good record and just pissed it away.

    If the Braves don't go to the playoffs, we're going to be looking very hard at 1-6 at best at home vs the Giants and Rockies, and losing a series to the Orioles.
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    I was about to post that it seems like the Braves have lost most of the games that are sellouts, in the 9th. Didn’t realize it was that bad.

    BTW, those who gave me crap a few days ago for complaining about snit's trust in Jackson in key spots can kiss my ass. This is what I was opposing.

    We’ve got the least amount of 9th inning blown saves in the league. Quit bringing up the ****ing bullpen.

    I think it's dumb to have Ender bunt on the first pitch and the guy hasn't been close to throwing a strike!

    Plus Minter was hurt and should've been removed. Always the bullpens fault or AA, snit can do no wrong lol

    Aside from the Cubs game that should’ve been called, we really haven’t had very many heartbreaking games this year. I guess we were overdue for a series like this.

    yea, I'd let Ender take his chances on a hit or walk with a wild pitcher.

    Another thing... Ryan flaherty got an AB in a game where flowers and Duvall didn't. I don't think much of Duvall, but he's an AS compared to RF

    I just don’t get not going with your best pitchers in a huge game like this.

    Snit does this a lot, whereas other teams use their worst pinch hitter last or only very early in games. Snit thinks RF has to pinch hit first late too lol

    Braves are 68-54.

    They have a 12-3 record vs. Miami and 12-4 record vs. the Mets. That is 24-7 taken away from the 68-54.


    Conversely, the Phillies are 55-43 against all teams not named Miami or the Mets (they are only 13-12 against the two teams).

    To be fair, I’d rather Flaherty pinch hit with 2 outs and nobody on in the 7th inning and leading, and let actual baseball players pinch hit in big spots.

    IF Flaherty has to pinch hit.

    Poor Folty! Tomorrow is a must win on a quick turnaround, (7-4) sounds way better than a (6-5) homestand at least psychologically.

    Snit is a great clubhouse manager. However, I'm not sure he can go against analytical guys like Roberts and Maddon in October and win. I hope I'm wrong.

    Actually you can split it further. Braves have a 41-19 record against the NL East? (forgot how much), then a 10-3 record against Tampa Bay, Chicago, St Louis, and Milwaukee at home.

    Yikes caliber record against everyone else.
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    I hope Minter's blister problem isn't serious.
