Doesn't matter. We are not a playoff team

A 'playoff team' just means a team that makes the playoffs. Doesn't necessarily have to be a good team.

can't have JJ melt downs like last night for me to get to my 17 wins in July.

it's been yuge having Julion go 7 scoreless

 

[thethe]

At the deadline, im ready to say it's definitely the park with Julion. He's been fantastic on the road. I think he's pitching pretty similar to last year, if we were in the Ted instead of Gag st.

He will figure it out. Somehow someway. I believe in Julio!!!

I want to agree with that, but his FIP and xFIP are still pretty bad on the road.

Yuger with him in RF tomorrow..

Teheran at 96 pitches in 7 innings but with a shutout in tact... wonder if they send him back out.

Bigger lead than the 2-0 game when they sent him out in the 8th against the Giants, but he's given them 7 strong. No need for Snitker to have him go out and prove his manhood.

Alright...just start Camargo every day at third next year.

But a win doesn't matter if you're not in the show.

 

[zbhargrove]

Well... nice confidence builder for Julion... hopefully he can translate it to SunTrust.

I think a few of us were ridiculed bringing up Camargo last year, if we are still all trying our damndest to get Internet points around here..

 

[bravesfanMatt]

seriously Game7.. Jt is 2-2 with a Sac bunt.. let him HIT!!!

 

[zbhargrove]

Really thinking Camargo could be our next Prado type who comes out of nowhere to be a really good overall player.

Bc he got a bloop double with Harper chilling down 8?

I think his ceiling is Omar infante

Whatever happens playing meaningfulSeptember games will be YUGE for the bottom line. Potential additional investment at all levels of the organization.

Yeah, Julio's problems this year are mostly control related, not park related. He's not as bad as he's been this year, but he'll have to regain his control in the zone to bounce back close to what he was last year. He has no margin for error with control with his low velocity. Nice to see him have a great start today.

Why this type of response? Camargo has been a plus since he was called up.

Much better arm/defense than Infante. Tough to tell what he can be at the plate. He's definitely put on size within the past year or so which is helping his power.

Was thinking the exact same thing.

His velocity is steadily increasing the last couple of starts.

Tanner at 75 pitches.. we might be in that gNats pen really soon..
