Woke up and read this title as "Braves trying to move Miller by the deadline"

Expecting a huge game from the Andreltonian.

A bit surprised to see Uribe sitting today. He can definitely use a day off (and Ciriaco needs to play), but you'd think Juan would be the guy you want in there with the other lefty-mashers against Hamels if you're really trying to stay hot and in the playoff conversation.

AJ is certainly durable he's in there almost every game. Pretty surprising for a 38 year old catcher. Day game after a night game most 28 year old catchers sit.

 

[The Tariff King]

AJ is Fredi's Ass in the Hole.

Nice.

 

[The Tariff King]

CJ wouldn't have gotten that.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

No no-hitter this time, Cole.

 

[Hawk]

Nice move by Maybin there to avoid the tag.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Ciriaco just missed a grand slam. They need to get on Cole early, so the Phillies will wilt again.

 

[USMA76]

Pure dumbassery by Gomes--you know, the guy we're paying for his example and veteran leadership.

 

[cajunrevenge]

Getting a hit and then getting picked off should he called a Melvin.

 

[Heyward]

Shelby with high pitch count so far, needs a quick inning soon or he'll be lucky to make it to 6.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Need to break through soon, Shelby may not be going incredibly long today.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Miller just has not had his control the last few games. He's throwing balls like it is not man's business.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Gotta take charge in the upcoming schedule before the break:

After the break, it's Cubs, Dodgers, @Cardinals, @Orioles....Yikes.

We probably aint making the playoffs if we're being realistic.

But the team has done alot better than anyone could have asked/hoped.

 

[Heyward]

Miller/Hamels on similar pitch counts, but Miller has thrown alot more high-stretch pitches.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Man, lead off double for Herrera. (or however you spell it)

WAIT, GOT HIM OUT AT THIRD.
