Horrible throw by d'Arnaud. Joe is right. Had a chance with a good throw.

 

[jpx7]

Too soon.

 

[rico43]

SWANSON TO ATLANTA. YES!

 

[jpx7]

SWANSON TO ATLANTA. YES!

It'll be cool, yes, but I think for his development's sake the front-office should've exercised more patience.

 

[Julio3000]

Weird. Delayed gratification, people.

 

[msstate7]

SWANSON TO ATLANTA. YES!

For real?

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Ervin pitching a gem in his old venue.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Still have no idea how EOF has lasted this long on the team.

I understand AJP because of Flowers being out.

KEMP NATION

 

[USMA76]

When Garcia flied out to left, I thought it was the final out of the game and then I saw it was only the bottom of the eighth. Can you say "pleasant surprise?" LOL

 

[thewupk]

Outfield producing runs tonight boys

 

[USMA76]

Need to keep this as a one run game, the fact that Mauer is coming up doesn't help things.

 

[mfree80]

Anybody think Swanson gets to that ball?

 

[USMA76]

Cabrera not as dominant tonight for some reason.

 

[USMA76]

Nice throw by Inciarte but the runner looked safe to me.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Cabrera not as dominant tonight for some reason.

Something is off. Not throwing it as hard.

 

[msstate7]

100+ fastballs that he can't seem to get any swing and misses with

 

[chop2chip]

This will be a huge loss if we can hold on. We need to lose these games against Minnesota

 

[msstate7]

So, where you think we bat Swanson tomorrow?
