8/1/2015 GDT: Braves at Phillies, 7:05 p.m.

[mqt]

We have certainly embraced the tank.

 

[Julio3000]

What I care about most is are we still striking out the least of any team?

Things happen when you put the ball in play.

 

[Julio3000]

We now have a gaping hole behind the plate and at 2b with a big potentional guy at 3b, but major injury issues

FIFY

 

[weso1]

In the defense of the non HR folk... This isn't exactly the ideal team they would put together. And by they I don't mean thethe.

 

[skillet]

Ummm, we suck.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

3 of the 4 teams with the least amount of strikeouts have the 5th, 6th, and 7th worst records in the league. The other team has the 2nd best record in baseball.

#Braves Simmons hurt his right thumb, just saw him with it wrapped.

Glad we extended fredi and held on to AJ. We'd really be falling apart without their stability in the clubhouse

 

[USMA76]

Ummm, we suck.

Suck just called and was pretty upset he was being used in the same sentence as Atlanta Braves.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

4-11 since the extension.

 

[Dalyn]

4-11 since the extension.

He's managing like it's September already!

 

[Gary82]

I'm hoping this continues and we get the worst record in MLB. We might as well get a decent draft pick.

We won't see Simmons for a month, I'm sure.

Ciriaco at ss. We bout to make a run now

Entering today the Braves managed to move up a spot in WRC+ in the NL thanks to the Marlins suckitude. However after tonight the Phillies may very well have passed them. Time will tell on that one. In other news the Phillies have past the Braves in runs scored so we are now 13th in the NL. Heading in the right direction for sure.

We'd be falling apart with/without him, just arent that good.

 

[zbhargrove]

Team is hitting rock bottom... lets keep going... play for #1 baby

 

[sturg33]

We won't see Simmons for a month, I'm sure.

At least we got Peraza

 

[WaitingFor2017]

At this point, keep Olivera down in the minors until September call-ups. I wouldn't want him helping the team win a couple of extra meaningless games this year.

Or don't call him up and trade him in the offseason to some team that thinks he has a lot of value to their team.
