If the braves win it will be the third 10+ game winning streak since the start of 2013. Clearly it is a fluke.

They're not consistent.

 

[nsacpi]

Expecting another major contribution from Melvin out of the leadoff spot.

Does anyone think that extending the lineup and separating the bad hitters has helped the overall production?

I think replacing Uggla helped a lot more.

 

[thethe]

I think replacing Uggla helped a lot more.

Agreed. I thought last night that we will probably make the biggest improvement over the course of a season at one position than any team in baseball. It was long overdue but only slightly less overdue than cutting ties completely.

 

[Heyward]

I think replacing Uggla helped a lot more.

Agreed, it would be better if they DFA him.

We're basically playing with 24 players right now.

23 1/2 if you are feeling generous toward Schafer.

Forgot him, dump Schaf.

Add Cunnigham/CB to the bench when Gattis returns.

CB/Cunnigham/Pena/Laird/Doumit as bench.

I've wanted Cunningham over Schafer since ST.

I love how efficient Wood is. Gets in and gets out with the speed of a teenager!

 

[Mrs. Meta]

I love how efficient Wood is. Gets in and gets out with the speed of a teenager!

...and doesn't objectify women!

 

[Mrs. Meta]

I've wanted Cunningham over Schafer since ST.

And I've wanted you over both of them...coincidence?!

 

[UNCBlue012]

Thing of beauty.

Add Cunnigham/CB to the bench when Gattis returns.

CB/Cunnigham/Pena/Laird/Doumit as bench.

hmmm I read that bench before somewhere.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Justin missing those east pitches then strikes out in a dirty breaking ball

 

[UNCBlue012]

Nick Ahmed! I haven't heard that name in a while.

 

[Mrs. Meta]

Derek Jeter's taking the field for the last time in the all-star game?!

...There's a name I haven't heard in awhile!!

 

[Mrs. Meta]

Why wood you do that Alex?

Sheeeeeeeeeeeit.
