[WaitingFor2017]

Elder is going to kill the pen tonight with a double header tomorrow. No off days until June 3 now.

 

[jsebe10]

Get this fckn bum out of the game and off this roster.

 

[bravesnumberone]

I can’t even get the kids settled down before the game is already over. Make Elder eat this one. Throw his arm out.

 

[UNCBlue012]

I survived the dark days so I’ll be fine, but it’s hard to watch a team this talented struggle for absolutely zero reason

 

[mfree80]

This team, so far this year has a troubling tendency to swing at breaking balls in the dirt. With two strikes, why would anyone throw them anything else.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Could ask Ozzie anything about baseball and he gets asked if he was a fish, what kind would he be.

I miss Jon Miller and Joe Morgan.

Can't win scoring 0. This offense gives us no shot

 

[msstate7]

Braves have avg'd 3.5 runs/game in May. They can't hit anymore

 

[Slippyjms]

I miss Jon Miller and Joe Morgan.

I didn't think anyone would ever say that

 

[msstate7]

I didn't think anyone would ever say that

I miss the braves being able to hit the baseball

 

[UNCBlue012]

Zero effort all-around for Atlanta lately. Sucks to watch, honestly. They’ll rebound but there’s no passion at all.

To be fair, they had the highest exit velo and hard-hit rate of all teams over the last month. Some bad execution but also legitimately horrendous luck.

 

[jsebe10]

1 run in last 25 innings...36ks

 

[msstate7]

1 run in last 25 innings...36ks

I bet we had the best (empty) swing speed on those swings though.

 

[msstate7]

Braves have 1 starter with an ops over .800. They suck, period

 

[msstate7]

I can’t even get the kids settled down before the game is already over. Make Elder eat this one. Throw his arm out.

I'd option him postgame.

 

[msstate7]

4 runs is insurmountable these days. Oh MVP and his sub .700 ops sure ain't gonna bring us back.

 

[jsebe10]

Man we have got to better than this as a 5th option.

 

[msstate7]

Man we have got to better than this as a 5th option.

It would take the big 3 of the 90s, Pedro Martinez, and Randy Johnson to win with this offense
