3 RHPs this weekend... we need to get markakis going

Is this 3 straight days or McCann?

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Sharpie snit

 

[nsacpi]

expecting a yuge game from Riley

 

[UNCBlue012]

i am so stoked to see Markakis still hitting fifth. It makes so much sense !!

 

[Nerfherders]

We finally get back to the NL East this weekend. This has certainly been an unusual schedule. We have played only 15 games against the NL East through 62 games, which means we have 61 of our last 100 against our division moving forward. We have only played the Nats twice, and not until our 55th game, and we've only played the Phillies 3 times and not since game 3 of the season!

I only mention this because we won the division last year because of our sterling record against the NL East. 61 games against them collectively could be a boon, however we are only 7-8 against them so far.

Tonight starts a stretch of 21 of 29 games against the NL East. I hope we have the magic we had last year against the division!

its a form of sequencing luck to be able to do disproportionately well against teams in your division...we had it last year...not likely to have it this year, certainly not to the same extent

Marlins get their first look at AR27...hopefully he makes them rue the day they decided to trade JTR elsewhere

Maybe our catching tandem will continue to make us wish we did.

Our catchers are #7 in WAR for the position.

And fading.

 

[nsacpi]

And fading.

Last night McCann went 2 for 3 with a double.

 

[Enscheff]

I've been told by very intelligent baseball minds that Camargo is bad because he isn't getting enough PAs despite the fact he has more PAs than Culberson, Joyce, Mac and Flowers.

Maybe Mac and Flowers just need more PAs to stay sharp?

 

[The Tariff King]

Witch Hunt!

 

[nsacpi]

Witch Hunt!

Soros!

Soroka on the mound. I expect a dominating win to increase the odds that Soroka wins ROY.

The only thing that sucks about Riley being here is the Braves won't have a chance to win 3 ROYs in a row.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Soroka needs to go 8 with 0 runs.

Pache or Wright. There is hope still.

 

[Freshmaker]

FREDDIE!!!

I think he hit that about 700 feet

Then Donaldson with a rocket to the LF corner
