7/19/15: GDT - Chicago Cubs @ Atlanta Braves

[Heyward]

We're about to crash and burn at an epic level.

Not a bad thing.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

While I agree we punted the season, fredi got an extension bc of us sticking around in the standings.

I agree the extension is and was an awfully stupid decision. However we disagree on why it was handed out. I think Fredi was going to get an extension regardless of what happened this season. Hart gutted the team and Fredi didn't whine at least publically and he bought into it all.

Not a bad thing.

Yeah, it'll help with picks. Gotta figure attendance will nose dive though. Hopefully that wouldn't result in a tighter budget

 

[msstate7]

In the last 14 innings, we have the same number (3) errors as hits

Yeah mainly talking picks.

Regarding budget, i dont think we'll really spend crazy until 2017.

I think we'll sign some players next year but no David Price's of the world.

and A J has most of them. Hits, that is.

Another k for jace... Someone tell me how much worse peraza would be

 

[Heyward]

There's no reason why he shouldnt come up.

If they trade him, at least see what he can do.

And Peraza is 22, Jace is 25.

 

[msstate7]

3-1 count on markakis and 3-0 count on Kelly... Geez, this is awful

Kevin McAlpin ‏@KevinMcAlpin 5m5 minutes ago
Shelby Miller done after 6. His winless streak hits 11 straight. #Braves offense has given him a TOTAL of 10 runs of support over that span.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Should probably look into trading Shelby since he's gonna be wasted here.

Not a bad thing.

EXACTLY!!! SELL SELL SELL lol

Sadly, this is looking far too much like late last year e.g. as soon as a pitcher gives up a second run, the Braves are done. Between the Colorado series and this one, it seems like we've led for something like one of the last 54 innings.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

This team is going to get no hit sometime soon.

 

[msstate7]

One problem with a collapse is getting good FA's to sign with us this offseason

It's been an issue for a long time now. Markakis has been our best free agent signing in a long time.

Dont think we'll get any top tier guys, so no biggie.

 

[thewupk]

5 hits in past 2 games?

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Would love to see Shelby-Sale matchup. Both awful offenses. Would be a joy to watch.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Far too many, if you ask me. Cubs should be ashamed.
