Atlanta Braves News

[YellowJacketFan2018]

Didn’t realize the Braves are in the top 5 in striking out. I guess it’s the aggressiveness and we know against the good pitching of October, more contact is needed. The three-run homers are less forthcoming.

The homers are less forthcoming unless you're the Yankees

Hard liner to left? Just bad luck there.

No ever since he's came back from his injury. It just seems like he never got his timing back.

 

[YellowJacketFan2018]

Disappointing series in Philadelphia i hope it doesn't carry over to Washington

 

[YellowJacketFan2018]

Swarzak really sucks

Lotta games left. Dropped 2 games in 2 days.

Brutal schedule to close down the stretch.

More detail:

(Hechavarría was picked up by Atlanta for the prorated minimum, they rounded off at 200k. He’s a 2020 F.A.).

A little research on Alex A’s contract as G.M., shows 2018-2021. Snitker has a 2-year contract, with a club option for 2021.

With 3 RBI last night, Anthony Rendon is tied [again] with Freddie Freeman for MLB lead in that category.

Fun (not) fact.... even after roster expansion, somehow the Nationals only have ONE left-handed relief pitcher in bullpen (Doolittle).

I wouldn't mind having Jason Hayward end his career back with the Braves

The Braves i think will resign Josh Donaldson for another 2 years and i hope Anthony Rendon goes to the American League
