If we end up facing the Cardinals in the first round I want Julio in rotation. He pitched two strong games against them this year. You don't want him vs the Dodgers but certain teams he is really good against.
8/26 GDT: Braves @ Rockies
- Thread starter bravesfanforlife88
- Start date
In terms of higher order winning percentages (the ones with most predictive value), the Braves have been lucky this year by 7-10 wins. That mark is the highest in all MLB. A large piece of that luck is the 25-13 record in 1-run games.
The good news is that while the Nats are likely a bit better than the Braves, the present lead is likely too much to overcome.

I can almost promise you that this will not be our only loss this week.

Snit did a fine job with the pen.
Greene and MM were probably off today. I guess maybe go to Newk for a clean inning. But yeah, do agree it's more on the offense, they could have easily put 3-5 off of Melville.

probably not, but you hope to beat up on bad teams and teams not as good as us have swept chicago so why can't we? Still have two in toronto first i know.

Okay, that's quite enough of the useless back and forth. Now stop it

Just IMO, why wait to use Swarzak/Blevins in the 9th. Use them earlier and keep the more solid guys(Jackson/Martin) for the 8th/9th. Swarzak and Blevins are not 9th inning guys IMO.
Blevins was used perfectly.

Blevins was used to face 2 lefties, the batter just went deep, thats baseball, happens alot. He was used fine.

yea back-to-back lefties, we cannot question snit on that. Blevins went a long time between games though which could be questioned but maybe a reason for that we don't know.

I agree with where he came in. Not sure I agree with 10 days in between appearances though

The real question is what is the difference between a good win versus a bad win.

yea unless hurt that isn't wise as it could cause anyone to get rusty.

A bad win is when you win but one of your key players gets hurt. Like a good win but at what cost did it come with it.

yea like the Marlins destroying Philly but losing Anderson to a broken hand. Maybe not such a bad win for them given the score and that they are going no where but losing him makes that line-up really bad IMO.
