GDT 8/7/13: Braves (Medlen) @ Walgreens (Zimmerman) 7:05 PM

Don't know why everyone was so nervous. I told you what was going to happen before it happened.
 
I love Kimbrel, but don't want to see him for a few days. Heart can't take it.

That entire series felt like a playoff series, and we completely bent them over.
 
I can't watch the game, but ESPN's gamecast had SEVERAL pitches called balls that were pretty much down the middle.
 
Kimbrel is 40th in games appeared by RP.

You people need to calm down.

Take advantage of wins when you can get them.
 
Dear Bryce,

Sincerely,

Braves fans everywhere

He'll be fine, he's been fine, it was just obvious tonight he was tired having worked 5 of the last 6 games. With the off day tomorrow he'll be okay. But it would be nice to have a blowout Friday night and not need him. Also with such a big lead right now, even if you have a closing situation Friday Night I might use Walden just to give Kimbrel an extra day.

Not really following the logic. Can hit better than Janish, but can't play SS. Hard to know who he'd replace.
 
Suck it gnats!!! This is so beautiful. Earlier this year their fans kept talking about how they were going to make a run and take over the division. Must hurt getting bent over at home and abused like that. 15.5 games up. Again, suck it gnats!!! And Harper...go run into another wall.

You need to calm down. It's not about his number of appearances. It's the fact that he's worked 5 of the past 6 nights and threw 30+ pitches tonight. I'm not criticizing Fredi at all for bringing him into this game, I'm just saying Kimbrel needs a few days off. Especially with this big lead in the division.

I know that, that's exactly what I was saying.

Braves can go into absolute cruise control for the rest of the season now after this sweep. Skip Julio a couple of times. Use Kimbrel twice every five games. Its going to be great.
