[nsacpi]

expecting a yuge game from Swanson

[Hulavol]

expecting a big game from... that's right OZZIE ALBIES.

[bravesfanforlife88]

Acuna will have a home run and 2 doubles tonight

[bravesfanforlife88]

BTW it is crazy to think the Phillies have been this good this year with only a +8 run differential.....wtf?!

[CyYoung31]

Guaranteed loss. Should’ve let Ozzie Chains start the GDT.

Good pitching, low offense teams are more likely to outplay their Pythagorean record.

Looking further into their record....

VS NL East teams :
Braves 40-19
Phillies 24-24

VS NL Central teams:
Braves 13-10
Phillies 18-12

VS NL West teams:
Braves 9-18 <---OUCH!
Phillies 15-14

Interleague
Braves 7-8
Phillies 11-6

Of the Phillies remaining games, they play 28 games against the NL East, we play 17 games against the NL East to finish up (a bunch of head to head vs Phillie to end the year)

Should be very interesting down to the wire...we have 3 more vs Boston, 1 vs the Cubs, a trip to Arizona and San Francisco, plus the Cardinals

[Acuña’s Bat Flip]

Guaranteed loss. Should’ve let Ozzie Chains start the GDT.

Must be a new member.

[Enscheff]

Let the hip hop hype man start all GDTs for a while please...

[Orphan Black]

Expecting a monster pinch hit appearance from Michael Reed

[Acuña’s Bat Flip]

Acuna will have a home run and 2 doubles tonight

He will have to hit one out to LF near the foul pole or poke one over the high wall in RF most likely or how about an inside-the -park HR? That'd be fun!

[Enscheff]

Yeah,,,,OK....uh...whaaaaat!!!

[bravesfanMatt]

New pre-game drinking game. Drink every time twitner says either good or really.

[Mad Dog Murph]

Yea, Acuña only has enough power to hit it out along the short left and right field porches. He needs to hit the weight room in the off season

[Braves1976]

We need to win this one as Teheran sucks vs most of Pittsburgh's hitters, and that includes Dickerson who wasn't even with them the last time Pittsburgh beat up on Teheran in Pittsburgh. Nova will be tough though. Hopefully Gausman can dominate like the kid Wilson did last night.

[CyYoung31]

AA coming up to talk waiver wire.

[CyYoung31]

AA said they will definitely add before the end of the month. Also heavily implied that they wanted both Murphy and Adams.

didn't they have pick up rights before the Cubs?

They did, he lied....
