The JT of our board.

Phillies lineup:

[nsacpi]

expecting a yuge game from Swanson

[thewupk]

I feel a Mac Attack at some point

[UNCBlue012]

How sweep it would be to ruin Harper's first homestand. ;)

[The Chosen One]

The L-R-L-R obsession is so stupid.

[bravesfanforlife88]

Expecting a dinger from Donaldson

[nsacpi]

The L-R-L-R obsession is so stupid.

it mostly is there to make it hard for the other manager to get a string of favorable platoon matchups when he goes to the pen without burning up a bunch of relievers...it makes a certain amount of sense given the guys out there today

Snit could bat Muk and Mac back to back, but then you can bring in one lefty to take care of both

Phillies lineup:

The Phillies have a really bad defensive outfield. Maybe that will help us out.
I wonder if the Phillies thought they would get Harper when they signed Cutch. Seems like they would have been smarter to find a better defensive OF’er to pair with Harper and Herra.

[bravesfanMatt]

Listening to the gnats /mutts game. Going as expected with those guys on the mound.

Isn't that pretty moot now since pitchers have to face a minimum of 3 batters or is that not going into effect until next season?

Next year

I predict at least 2 fist fights break out in either the dugout or the clubhouse for that Phillies team. Lots of egos/cancers and a manager who has no idea how to handle people.

[Acuña’s Bat Flip]

Today’s good luck charm!

[bravesfanforlife88]

Today’s good luck charm!

I don't know who she is but I love her too!

[msstate7]

You SEC, bro?

I completely agree. If they get off to a slow start it could get ugly.

[Braves1976]

Hopefully Teheran can change the script vs Harper who's owed him in the past. The Phillies 3-4-5 have all hit Teheran well.
