Our offense is stroking. Next year we will be really really good. Don't get me wrong, we are good this year but Soroka and Fried won't be around at the end of the year so that will handcuff us a bit in the playoffs.

Hopefully Soroka and Fried will be in the lineup come Playoff time

Why are they not going to be around at the end of this year?

Swarzak did a great job of getting out of bad trouble

Why are they not going to be around at the end of this year?

The club has already confirmed that they'll be on an innings limit this year since they are coming off injuries. Unless the club plans on skipping some of their starts during the regular season, they will reach their innings limit before the playoffs.

Somehow, I’m not as afraid to gas up at the Shell station tonight.

Does our friendly neighborhood Sliderman always have to give up a run in the ninth, and put runners all over the bases?

I think he has to have a tough situation to get really going mentally

It will be awesome if the Braves sweep the Phillies and have a 4 game lead in the NL East after Sunday's series finale
