Colorado Rockies Lineup (42-48):

TBA

Atlanta Braves Lineup (31-60):

Peterson 2B

d'Arnaud SS

Freeman 1B

Markakis RF

Francouer LF

Garcia 3B

Inciarte CF

Recker C

Teheran P

Thank goodness AJP isn't catching Teheran and possibly hurting trade stock today. We saw what happened last Saturday after Flowers went out with his injury.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

No ackbar of AJ. Wonder if they can give game7 a day off too and just let Eddie and TP manage this one.

 

[nsacpi]

Expecting a yuge game from Francoeur.

I still can't figure out why d'Arnaud is on the major league team, but Aybar simply has to go. I'm probably one of the more patient posters here, but he's simply toast. I think the moral of the story may be, if you are going to tank the season, make sure the guys you acquire don't bring with them either a "Why me?" attitude or an attitude of "If we're tanking, I think 50% effort should suffice."

Who's ackbar? Did we pick up an ISIS guy on the waiver wire?

It can't be all-time wrestling great Skandor Akbar. He has unfortunately passed on to the great ring in the sky.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Did you make this. Because this I want to steal.

 

[Julio3000]

I did. Steal away.

 

[jpx7]

I'd feel bad you beat me to it, but yours is better than mine would've been, anyways.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Hopefully 7 shutout innings from Julio today.

Markakis gets such horrible jumps. That flair would've been caught by competent right fielders.

This just in.....Teheran is good.

 

[Julio3000]

Back-end rotation guy.

Back-end rotation guy.

Wonder why JT can look good with every one but AJ. I mean he is a veteran who is molding our youngsters how to play.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

What's the point in keeping him? They aren't competing anytime soon and haven't made an effort to improve the big league club. They are wasting him.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Have yourself a game Freddie.

 

[DaneHill]

I don't think they can realistically trade him. The king's ransom he'd command no one would pay. Anything less would be a slap in the face to the fans. So here he will stay.

 

[DaneHill]

Freddie forgot to show up after the All-Star break. Maybe he should have been sent down to Gwinnett for a few games during the break to keep his bat hot.
