Rockies lose again. Braves can get back to 7 back tonight. 7.5 back in division if Cubs win.

I'm more of the "let's sell" and focus on 80 wins in 2018 and go for it in 2019, but I do admit it's nice to look at division standings this late in the year.

 

[nsacpi]

expecting a yuge game from Colon

 

[Freshmaker]

Colon is going to deliver big tonight - I can feel it

Hamstring injury cost Kemp that catch.

Hamstring injury cost Kemp that catch.

I think Ender could have back pedaled and caught that one. How did he not get to that fly ball.

 

[mossy]

Off to a great start, tho pershaps a good LF makes that play.

 

[msstate7]

If colon gets blasted again tonight, we need to tell him he can fake injury/retire or we're gonna cut him.

 

[Enscheff]

Yeah, that's why Kemp is below average overall. Routine flyball turned into a 2 run double.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Off to a great start, tho pershaps a good LF makes that play.

Average LF catches that one.. maybe below average LF.. it landed 5 feet from Kemp.

 

[Enscheff]

Intersting the broadcast braintrust are cool with the advanced pitch framing stat when they hear a Brave ranks first in the stat.

 

[msstate7]

It's gonna be one of those nights.

 

[Enscheff]

Average LF catches that one.. maybe below average LF.. it landed 5 feet from Kemp.

And yet Twitner won't sub for him defensively late in the game.

 

[msstate7]

And yet Twitner won't sub for him defensively late in the game.

KEMvP just takes a min to get stretched out. He makes a sliding catch on that ball in the 5th and catches it standing up in the 9th.

 

[msstate7]

Should we check on Miguel montero? .800 ops and 0.4 bWAR

 

[Preacher]

In late..... but that defensive play by Kemp ..... people shouldn't be able to move that slowly when engaged in a running motion.

 

[msstate7]

Jeez colon
