All of the starters have stumbled. until the last couple of days Swanson and Donaldson had been in deep slumps, McCann is in a deep slump, Freeman is slumping hurt, Acuna and Ender are just hurt, and suddenly our team at the end of the season is Albies and Nicky Singles. Pretty much the definition of ugly.Originally Posted by UNCBlue012
Obviously the braves could turn it on Thursday, but I'm worried. FF has a jacked up elbow, Acuna a hip, Donaldson slumping, and the staff less than impressive this weekend
On the bright side, it's the last time we have to listen to Chip with his excessive BS which frequently jinxes the play and Capt Caveman's butchery of good grammar until the 2020 campaign.
Will Fox make a change??
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......
And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

I take it you missed that they chose Francoeur to work the Braves postseason games?
I'm sorry but breaking a slump or curing an injury takes more than flipping a switch. It's not like turning a light on!!

Yes, I did. If it had to be one, he's the better choice.

The ultimate low bar.
Looks like Cardinals will be our opponent. They are up 8-0 early. At least they had to burn Flaherty
An Ortega home run ties it. I take it all back, the fact that I just used the phrase "Ortega home run" means the angels are on our side.
its been a long tough season for the negative nancies and nervous nellies...i'm glad the braves are providing them with something to cling to this last week of the season

If you pussies had any idea how much pussy, pizza, and beer these boys have earned - and are enjoying, you’d be shocked. They are baseball players . They will be ready by Wednesday am.
Re the hell lax.

Chip out here openly trying to jinx us with mentions of Wide-Eyed Wisler.

He also needs to keep Carlin's name the **** out of his mouth.

"the baseball expert picking department"
For all the clowns blabbering about playing well going into the playoffs:

“That’s the thing with streaks; we can’t know when they start or when they end until after the fact.”
The sooner folks stop with any form of “hot hand” talk, the sooner we can have more intelligent baseball discussions. Unfortunately, the dumb just keeps creeping back in.
The only thing that matters is being good and healthy. AA took care of the good part, but Snit failed to rest guys regularly to take care of the healthy part. Hopefully everyone is good to go by Thursday.

That inning by O'Day reminded me of the desire of many on the board to dump him quickly after/during his first debut from injury this year. Glad the Braves were smarter than that.

Why would you let that be the last pitch he throws before the playoffs?
Nice catch there ...
Thing is - I love us getting extra work here with BP, but am wanting everyone in bubble wrap.
Did notice something very amusing over weekend - we threw pitches we hadn’t thrown all year - looked a lot like ST ball in some spots.
Hech is a real man full of testosterone
