The next big step

[msstate7]

Can we get to .500 today? Seems like every time we get to within 1 game, we lose a couple in a row. If we can get to .500 today by sweeping a current playoff team, I think it's time to get a little excited anyway.

Posi-Braves assemble!

5 below was a big hurdle in June. We final broke through that and now we need a big offensive performance to get there today. I say we finally do it today.

11-20 after getting swept in a 2 game series in Houston on May 10. They got close again at 22-30 on June 2 when Johnson blew a save in Cincinnati and Ramirez allowed a walk-off homer in the 10th.

22-15 since June 2

When did we release fatso?

When did we release fatso?

June 29.

7-5 record since then (4-4 vs. current playoff teams -- should be 5-3)

It would be rich with irony if we did well against the teams with winning records in July but lost the Philly series. That would completely bust all the geeks and their spreadsheets out there. Total excel recall.

For some reason, Philadelphia has just misted the Braves this year winning 5 of the 7 games. Braves really need to take 3 of 4 in that series.

The first east coast series after a west coast road trip is always tough.

Maybe we will have a bunch of delayed rain starts like we did coming off our last west coast swing.

I think the Houston series was our first series after the last west coast trip. That was always gonna be a tough series. But we sleepwalked our way through it.

We lulled them into a false sense of security for when we play again in october.

 

[Heyward]
