[Enscheff]

I expect this to be the start of a 4 game winning streak going into the break.

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

Expecting a YUGE game from Lucroy

 

[msstate7]

I expect this to be the start of a 4 game winning streak going into the break.

That would be great. That's the only way we finish this trainwreck of a half with a winning record

 

[Julio3000]

Expecting to get ethered by another 6.00 ERA guy.

 

[msstate7]

Radio butchered that call. I thought it was an easy out

 

[msstate7]

Radio liked that play by Swanson

 

[msstate7]

The braves are quite pathetic

 

[msstate7]

Back up catchers and pitchers have career offensive days vs braves pitching

 

[bravesnumberone]

Bad starting pitching performance we were overdue for is here.

 

[msstate7]

Got a day off tomorrow and only 3 more games this half. Don't let smyly let this get away early

 

[msstate7]

Get the pen up, now

Get the pen up, now

Bro it doesn't matter. The is the most mediocre team the Brave have had in awhile.

 

[msstate7]

I think it's after midnight for heredia

 

[Deester11]

Chip : "Dansbys bat is coming to life." 4 for his last 22. Hot streak for sure.

The sad part is that on paper this team isn't much different than our last few... this one just seems to be underperforming. The energy just isn't there after the Dodgers came back last year in the NLCS.

He's a professional turd polisher. Unfortunately there are too many turds this year.

We were fortunate with the short season. I don’t think there’s any way we could have sustained last year’s success over 162.

I think you're seeing what that team would've looked like from a pitching perspective right now.

Aside from the missing DH from last year, 2 scrub bats in the OF, a fifth generation catcher now on board and two cast off starter in the rotation. Did I happen to mention the injuries? How about caving to your best option for RBI and his desire to bat lead off?
