I didn't get to see much of the game, but it looks like Blair did a great job!

IMO he's already one of the best players on the roster.

Yeah. He's played at a 3 WAR level so far which would be our 3rd best regular.

that play, in that moment was incredible. like I said, I jumped out of my seat and yelled like a pre pube teen..

This hot streak cost us a better pick, but it isn't all bad... look at the crowd into this game. This team is getting its fanbase back excited

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Absolutely. I understand people are frustrated with us losing the number one pick and possibly a top 5 spot, but I've really enjoyed this team and I think the fans are beginning to buy into what we Coppy has been selling!

A chance to win the last 5 series while eliminating two teams (and pushing the Mutts to the brink) is what's on the line tomorrow.

If you say you believed that was possible 8 weeks ago, you're lying.

Not entirely sure I've been as geeked to see a game since 1995.

That's why I think some will be surprised when Coppy makes a big trade or 2 this offseason.

I don't mind losing The top pick at all. The #1 pick guarantees nothing. I want to see my teams win. The Braves have shown to be fighters and I love seeing it.

for the love of all that's good and holy, please pull Dansby before he loses his ROY status for next year

And we would have had to lose a lot more games to have received the number one pick. The Twins are going to finish 10 games behind us. I would much rather have won (and the implicit good performances that occur when you win) then to have blown that badly.

Now tomorrow... I'm more than fine losing a game that 100% guarantees a better draft pick. No shame losing tomorrow.

Blair stinks it up for most of his audition and then throws a great game against a play-off contender. Baseball is a very odd game.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

yeah, I liked that Blair.

one thing that gives hope is that 2 of his 3 starts after the mechanical changes were very good. But I am not marking him down for a spot until I see more.
