I hate freaking walks

The Braves bullpen is very good lately

Here's a list of things Braves have not been good at lately:

Shane Greene is pitching nicely

 

[Buzzbomb]

Fried had 9 k’s & 0 walks. Greene comes in and walks Dozier. Lucky to keep it at 3-0.

That was good Fred. I thought I was looking at a graph of my own brain cells.

 

[Buzzbomb]

Freddie is the only Brave hitting .300(right on it).

Nationals reliever Elias messed up his hamstring

Craig Kimbrel back on the IR for the Cubs

 

[FredJacket]

Nationals reliever Elias messed up his hamstring

Here's his deal. This is rich. Trade deadline acquisition. In one of his 1st appearances with Nationals (maybe THE first), he got an AB. BEFORE going to plate, Martinez told him TWICE to not swing. Well ...he swung. Made contact & pulled the hamstring running to first. Tonight was only 2nd or 3rd appearance since returning from IL.

4-0 Braves over the Nationals in the 8th inning

Mark Melancon doesn't have his stuff tonight

 

[Buzzbomb]

Melon walks the leadoff hitter. Ugh!

 

[YellowJacketFan2018]

4-2 Braves over the Nationals in the 9th inning

 

[Buzzbomb]

Where is O’Dont?

Where is O’Dont?

Keep him on the bench

 

[YellowJacketFan2018]

The 87-54 1st place in the NL East win 4-2 over the 78-61 2nd place in the NL East Washington Nationals. The winning pitcher for the Braves is 16-4 Max Fried and the losing pitcher for the Nationals is 16-6 Stephen Strasburg. The 87-54 1st plce in the NL East lead the 78-61 2nd place in the NL East Washington Nationals by 8 games.

 

[Southpawmac]

Never in doubt.

 

[YellowJacketFan2018]

I have a feeling the Braves will win 3-4 in this series from what i've seen tonight If they do that the Braves will pretty much have the NL East wrapped up with a 9 game lead over the Nationals

 

[Buzzbomb]

Fred, if you get the next three....you’re still 5 games back. Does that demoralize a team that has had so much success after that tough start to the season?

 

[FredJacket]

Team win for Braves. Team loss for Nationals. Cannot expect to win scoring 2 runs... wasted a pretty decent start out of Strasburg. Bummer.

@GTJake ...I think you got your A-B-C ball tonight. Especially... that 4th run for Braves in 8th. Big SB....scores on a 2 out hit Dozier got a glove on.

Or the Braves win the next two and they have the 2019 National League East Pennant pretty much wrapped up
