Has our favorite pachyderm recovered from last night?

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Since the Braves are now 100% officially in the playoffs, they can now rest Murphy until October. They need to send someone down and bring up Tromp to be d'Arnaud's backup.

Phillies lost. Magic # is 6

Yeah, we’re good. Disappointing game, but can’t do anything but fix the issues and get better

Betts seems to be cooling off while Ronnie keeps on trucking

 

[zitothebrave]

It's wild that we've clinched the playoffs with 20 games to go. And I believe if we take 3/4 from Philly we clinch the division.

 

[thewupk]

Ronnie with 129 runs scored. 3 more to set the modern day franchise record.

technically, the Fish could win the next 3 and pass the Fallies.. so we would have to win 4 in a row I think.

Marlin's E number is 1. If we win 1 game they're eliminated from the division (most wins they can get is 93 our current total) if we take 3 from the Phillies we have 96 wins, Marlins cannot hit that number and at that point the Phillies cannot either (max they can get is 98, so losing 1 game gets them to 97 (we will be at 94) 2 gets them to 96 (wewill be at 95) and one more gets their max to 95 and us at 96.

Red Sox helped us too. Lead over the Orioles back up to 3 and really 4 since we own the tiebreaker.

We’ve actually already eliminated the Marlins because we’ve already clinched the season series and they got rid of the one-game playoff thing.

Betts took the weekend off and put his feet up.

Edit - he missed the last two, played today and was 0-4.

Shh. Don’t let facts get in the way of my narrative

 

[Hulavol]

I really hope we can sweep Philly and put them into a September Metsesque collapse for the ages.

Don’t hope. It will happen.

 

[Nerfherders]

We also broke the streak of Sunday losses, which stood at six.

Acuna is 1st in baseball in offensive runs above average. Olson is 5th.

I knew Acuna was good enough to do this... it was all there. Olson has been an absolute monster and God-send, though. He's a very, very good player but this season he has been next-level good.
