6/19 GDT: San Francisco Giants (26-45) vs. Atlanta Braves (31-37)

Sometimes players develop later on in their career. Past doesn't always dictate future.
 
I hate to be a debbie-downer about Chip and Joe's discussion about the Braves being 9 games better through 68 games (this year compared to last year). I remember that the Braves had a BRUTAL schedule for all of April and much of May. In fact, Atlanta's Strength of Schedule ranks 30 out of 30 right now, and they aren't really close to the #29 team (Washington).

I look at our schedule this year and see how bad the NL East is -- the worst division in baseball -- and yet Atlanta is only 16-20 vs. the East this year. They have also yet to play any of the NL West teams that have 40 wins or more in LAD, COL, or ARI. They have also yet to play the struggling yet defending World Champion Cubbies.

I do see improvement, but I think comparing records is irrelevant.

Chip and Joe's conversation is painfully awful for a lot of reasons.
 
So when does Game7 strike? We all know Dickey can throw 140 pitches.. but with only a 2 run lead, I don't think Dickey has a long leash at this point...
