PLAYOFFS?!?!?

[Heyward]

It will be a fun series against the Brewers. The last time the Braves played a playoff game in Milwaukee was for Game 7 of the 1958 World Series.

I, personally, am not expecting anything from us in the offseason. It was a blessing just to win the division with the year we had. But if we do get knocked out of the playoffs, the Brewers are the team I would be less upset about it in the end. (I am originally from Kenosha,WI)

Well, we've already made a few of our offseason moves. Extending TDA, Charlie. TBD on Freddie. But other than Freddie/big bat and the outfield, we're just about good. Maybe try to find a late inning BP arm on a good deal.

Because even with his obvious shortcomings Gallo is still a good player. And the people who talked about him as a replacement for Riley was when Riley was posting an OPS in the low to mid 700's.

Also I think some were looking at Gallo as a possible acquisition at the trade deadline this year to fill one of our many OF openings. He's under team control for one more season so that idea wasn't a bad one. Apparently the Braves were real close to getting him as too. Despite how each have played since being traded I would have preferred Gallo over Soler.

Personally, I think Gallo is a losing player and Soler occasionally isn't.

too bad nothing really suggests that

I don't give a **** about metrics that say a .200 BA .300 obp and 37% k rate is a good idea.

Too bad he didn't have a 300 OBP

Rob Deer? Howard Hessman ring any bells. Braves have been interested in Soler for some time and finally caught him. So far, so good.

What about those players? Deer had some decent seasons.

I agree, but we’re not talking about Adam Duvall.

Duvall isn't a good idea. He's an average one.

 

[PawPawMaxwell]

Duvall isn't a good idea. He's an average one.

Maybe so but so far he has better results than Gallo or Rob Deer.

And so we are clear, I have never been a Duvall fan .....

Nothing to really suggest Duvall has had a better season than Gallo

Gallo is a solid player. Sure he will suck when his power goes away. But there's probably 3-4 years before that happens.

How has Duvall been better than Gallo?

Cardinals voodoo magic already in full effect.

 

[Garmel]

Have you ever seen the Dodgers play like this against us?

 

[GovClintonTyree]

Is there a way they both lose tonight.

No, you have to pick. Iran Vs Iraq.

 

[bravesnumberone]

There is zero chance the Dodgers give a run like that away against us.

 

[bravesnumberone]

No, you have to pick. Iran Vs Iraq.

If I’m forced to go Dodgers I want them to win in the most controversial way in the history of the game...something way worse than 2012.

 

[CyYoung31]

I’m torn. In my heart of hearts, I hate the Cardinals way more than the Dodgers. However, seeing a 100+ win, 300+ million dollar team be ousted after one game would be humorous to me, and it might possibly entice MLB to change the stupid rule.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Lol the Cardinals are touched by God.
