GDT: 19/9/7 Los Bravos v. Los Nacionales; Swanson no esta jugando.

[nsacpi]

The Braves have a legitimate shot at taking the top seed in the East, which I do not want.

you mean the west?

 

[thewupk]

it's remarkable how often they do that, but against the dodgers and the best playoff teams that isn't happening as often if at all.

Braves are 20-8 against current NL playoff teams.

Guys, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that wasn't the official death blow:

Unfortunately they still have 0.4% hope.

He draws some ire round these parts, but I always liked him in the booth. Nearly died when he kept referring to Henry Blanco as Hank White.

I feel he's misunderstood. He's got a dry sense of humor. I love listening to him.

 

[TheBravos]

Well...that should take care of the Nats.

 

[nsacpi]

That Julion option gonna get picked up

Glavine is a lot better than Joe.

No such thing as too many death blows

You mean the NL?

And the Dodgers are alot worse on the road than they are at home, like way worse. I dont see us catching them though, their schedule is much easier than ours. And i hope we can give some of our guys some rest down the stretch.

 

[nsacpi]

The top 4 guys in the pen have been ridden pretty hard. Time to ease up and spread the work.

Yeah, my bad. I apparently had NBA on my mind.

But I agree. I think the Braves will end up 3-4 games behind the Dodgers but they at least have a legit shot.

That's not guaranteed. What if the sun goes supernova?

I think if we won on Sunday, it would be it, 11 game lead with 18 games left.

Tell that to all those dead horses who are still getting beat to this day.

 

[Freshmaker]

That Julion option gonna get picked up

Hoping Anderson replaces him, but we could do worse than paying Julion $12M to eat innings

 

[thewupk]

Then we go out on top

I know that, I was talking about the Braves having to beat their manager and such teams in the playoffs. Screw ups like that often cost you games in the playoffs.

Anderson replaces keuchel.

Newk and Greene are probably unavailable Sunday. Melancon would be going 3 for 4 games.

Martin, Jackson, Tomlin?, Blevins seem like the late inning options, and maybe get Walker, Minter a game in.
