Freddie has at least one more AB to extend the streak. He may need some free baseball to get it done.

Yuge walk for Dansby. He needs to sit a game or two to stay under 130 AB.

Getting anybody with a pulse for a week of Gordon Beckham is a win.

Welcome to the 2nd half 2016 Atlanta Braves. #FailingAtFailing

Next year, yes, but even if Swanson, et al, bat 1.000 with a 5.000 OPS the rest of the way the result is the same. We miss the playoffs again. I want to compete next year, but this year is lost.

If we win every remaining game, our reward will be a worse 2017 draft pick. How does that help us? Win or lose, the season ends on October 2nd.

Exactly, Cajun. He can't file for free agency during the season, so in that respect it doesn't matter if he comes up in August or next April. Either way, we get the same amount of control until FA. He could end up a Super 2, though. That could come back to bite us in the wallet.

Either way we miss the playoffs this year. The only prize for being second or third worst is a worse draft pick. I want to win next year, but wins this year don't help us.

We need a whole team of Beckhams. Winning serves no purpose at all at this point.

Maybe we can send Blair to the Northern League for the bats and balls we gave up 20 years ago for Kerry Ligtenberg.

That just means more for us pickle lovers.

Unjinx!

Make that 2 people watching. Tie ballgame! I love me some Chase D'Arnaud.

I've only been watching baseball for 35 years, since the Braves' division win in '82, but Maddux was easily the best in my lifetime. I agree he was probably the best of all time. He was clearly the most cerebral. Even when he lacked his best stuff, he often could out think hitters and make...

Right. That's why I say we should hit him instead of walking him. Walks are too easy on him.

Let's try hitting Harper every time he's up from now on. Not in the head. I don't want to kill the guy. Just bean him on the arm or butt and move on.

Wouldn't everyone who can be moved be waived? Waivers are revocable, so what do we have to lose?

What bugs me most about Bruce Sutter's extreme suckage in a Braves uniform is that he is still being paid for it 30 years later. I'm sure it's not counting toward the payroll, but it just doesn't seem right.

Good call on the replay, but it shouldn't take so long to make a decision.

The sooner Folty moves to the bullpen the better.
