Evan has to learn to lay off that.

He really isn't far away from being a big time impact bat. Hopefully an offseason worth of work and more experience will help him out.

On the bright side, in 4 days we won't have to listen to Chip and/or Joe for another 5 months.

You think they are bad , turn it over to ESPN and listen to them drool and slurp over Logan Thomas' weenis. Can't believe they are soooo on love with that guy, he's burnt garbage.

Agreed. Has the ability to be a game changer. Just gotta learn to lay off certain pitches and know what pitchers are trying to do with him.

mccann's body isn't built for the whole season..
another bad 2nd half...hitting .220 in august,.213 in september for the past 3 years

I bet Mac won't play again until the playoffs start. Sigh. Wish we had his bat but it's probably going to be Laird and Gattis the remaining 3 games. Wish we had hfa already locked up.

 

[Bdawg2309]

surprised they still haven't used bethancourt

 

[Dalyn]

Laird is getting his walking in early today. Is he wearing crocs?

 

[bravesnumberone]

I don't know whether it's best to rest Mac or give him more at bats. Either way, we're going to need his bat in order to have a shot.

Going to need Justin's, Mac's, BJ/and Or Elliot/Uggla's bat to have a shot. And maybe Simmons too. Heyward and Freeman are the only ones I'm not worried about. To an extent I'm not worried about CJ.

Funny you don't mention July where he rocked.

Mac hasn't hit as well as he did in the second half as he did in the first. But the body thing is just silly.

Joe just really hates advanced sabermetrics.

Joe just really hates advanced sabermetrics.

I'm pretty sure Joe hates any statistic that doesn't count the number of times someone fisted one in the hole.

Fisted in the hole? You mean Chip, right?

Pretty big fail by Zeets there.

Not sure if it's banworthy, but a warning has been issued in advanced per CB Bucknor.

 

[The Tariff King]

I love Heyward, even if he doesn't love baseball.

 

[Julio3000]

HR-2B-2B-2B. Dude has stalled.

 

[The Tariff King]

It's crazy.

A week from now, we'll be playing in the NLDS.

Just think about that for a second people. Think about how long we've come. How much Wood... nvm.

 

[Gary82]

Heyward hitting well makes me feel a lot better about our postseason chances.

Gives me a Matthewsesque thrill up my leg.

Galarraga and Weiss?
