7/20 GDT: Atlanta Braves (45-48) vs. Los Angeles Dodgers (66-29)

Hard not to enjoy watching Camargo show off his arm (combined with great range going away from first base) on that play.
 
It's impressive how quickly Joe has massively turned on Swanson, after pimping him way too hard early on. Just a shallow, fickle man.
 
Juses.. Game7... Let him finish the freaking inning. I understand lefties.. But sometimes you have to trust your best starter to be able to get two more outs.

I've generally eschewed the "Game7" label, but it really is becoming a problem that he's managing every game like it's September 15th and the Braves are playing for their playoff lives. This is a learning year, and we aren't learning if Foltynewicz isn't given a chance to finish tough innings where he's leading, or Swanson is only playing thrice a week, or Old Man Johnson has to pitch every save-sitch.

Yeah, it's pretty amazing how quickly he has went the other way on him. It seems like he's not even pulling for him to get out of his slump.
