Chris Young P

@SEA. That describes the team pretty well.

The Braves have pwned Chris Young, to the tune of a 6+ ERA in his career. However, he’s got a 2.21 ERA in 11 home starts this year. Something’s got to give. Can the Braves continue to abuse this Young guy, or will they be drowned by the Seamen again? Tune in to find out. Pro tip: start drinking now.

Leadership, grit and clutchness will be the keys to this game.

Hope we learned a thing or two from the Padres.

Good thing we have Justin and Heyward. They don't have to use keys.

That's not quite accurate. Justin and Jason own master keys. I tried to phrase that carefully.

 

[Julio3000]

Good thing we have Justin and Heyward. They don't have to use keys.

They have the tools to break the game open.

8. Not Jose Constanza CF

Distribution brilliant.

To quote Ian Darke.

Ramiro Pena will assert himself as a leader on this club.

Took the pro-tip. Am underway with pre-game libations.

I'm drinking at work. That's what these Braves have driven me to.

 

[Julio3000]

I may not score another point in YNOT, but I think I deserve a bonus for being the only person to correctly forecast the Boosman's demotion from leadoff.

 

[Julio3000]

Zero clutchness or leadership in this game so far.

In the thread, for that matter.

 

[Dalyn]

Do you think at any point when Fredi is deciding whether to bat player A 1st or 8th the idiocy involved in such a dilemma hits him? I doubt it.

 

[Dalyn]

"If I don't bat him 1st, I'm going to bat him 8th. Wait..."

"...I'm a ****ing idiot."

losing already, although its almost 4 PM eastern time.

They say if you start looking for reasons to drink in the middle of the day you're an alcoholic, right? Someone should explain to "they" that the only (and by only, I mean best) way to cope with your favorite team failing miserably day after day is to drink, middle of the afternoon be damned.

But we have a gritty middle infielder who plays multiple positions in the lineup today.

 

[Julio3000]

Pena showing clutch, grit, AND leadership with that base knock.

 

[Julio3000]

I love Tommy's cunning approach—make the pitcher throw a strike with the bases loaded.
