GDT: Red Sox @ Braves 9/5

[NinersSBChamps]

Todays "production" from our pen isn't the norm. I think we can beat any team in the NL when Folty starts. NL as a whole is very meh right now. The 3 best teams are in the AL which is to any teams advantage in the NL.

Honestly I like every team in the AL playoff race than anyone in the NL. The NL is very average this season, but wins and losses aren’t an indicator though.

I think the Cubs are as good as the A's/Indians but yeah the AL is stacked

[Acuña’s Bat Flip]

Go Fish!

[UNCBlue012]

Phillies lose!

[Acuña’s Bat Flip]

Miami holds on to win!

[thewupk]

Can't wait to be in 2nd place on Friday

[msstate7]

3 game lead. 23 games to go. Need to end this losing streak tomorrow

Bats do their job and voila, the bullpen decides to throw a rotten egg. It happens we need to deal with it. Even Freddie with a day off, pinch hit homer, gotta love that. Maybe it wakes him up as the refrigerator he is hauling, his knees are getting lower to the ground.

New faces, same ****ty results when it matters.

If they manage to crawl into the postseason because the phillies play even worse, it will be an embarrassing exit.

So ****ing what? This team making the postseason would be a massive achievement. Besides that, making the postseason is always a good thing, regardless of what happens when you get there.

We weren’t even expected to be in a playoff race to begin the season. Making the postseason would be a huge achievement.

[The Chosen One]

My only fear is we make the postseason and AA keeps Snitkers to not ruffle anyone's feathers. It'd almost be a mandate to keep Snitkers another year or even worse a contract extension.

Not when you don't deserve it and it's handed to you on a golden platter. Not going to be playing the Marlins and Mets in the postseason.
2-6 baby! 2-6!

[Super]

Still seems kind of dumb that your team has been scuffling badly and you don't put in your A-team to preserve the win at all costs.

we pitched biddle in the 7th and winkler in the 8th...that seems like using your A-team to preserve the win to me.
duvall in RF was the costly mistake. but winkler and minter flat-out stunk, and that's not the manager's fault.

As bad as it is being a Braves fan the last few days. At least we aren’t losing 2 of 3 to the fish. Perspective

Phillies see matz, Thor, and degrom this weekend. They throw Nola vs matz

[msstate7]

So will viz be back?

Damn. The Mets have been really solid over the last two months, too.

[UNCBlue012]

So will viz be back?

I hope so. He'd be a really big add going into the playoffs... if we make it, of course.

This is a guy with a career ERA under 3 and he was throwing fire before going down. He scares the poop out of me sometimes, but he's about as solid as you can ask for.

[sturg33]

Man just read through this thread and am now convinced our season is over.

Damn. Was fun while it lasted
