Braves Regular Season

[stinger78]

I would definitely prefer to have FF too but Olson is the best alternative imo.

Personally, I would, too, but then I value pure hitters over HR hitters… big surprise, I know. I’d much rather have a .280-.300 hitter who will likely belt 20+ HR per season than a .230-.240 hitter who might hit 40 HR. They’ll both drive in 100 RBI, but the hitter will likely score 100 R, too, meaning he’s also on base a lot.

So, Schwells pitches a gem and Braves are up 5-1, bottom 7th. Sale to pitch tomorrow.

Good guys win 5-1. Sale likely starter tomorrow. How big is that game? The Braves are now 6-5 against the Mets on the season, so a win tomorrow clinches the head to head. Also, Braves are .5 games behind the Dbacks and 1 game behind the Mets for a wildcard slot. A win tomorrow ties up the Mets.

Who’d a thunk it?

Sounds like both remaining games have been postponed to Monday, doubleheader.

Cute that NY media suggesting the Braves were careless in not preemptively scheduling a double header yesterday to avoid this.

I guess they wanted the Braves to pitch guys on short rest just 'cause the Mets said so?

So, to entertain myself I am watching Pearl Harbor. OK movie but Kate is pretty sweet.

And while gtswarm hot stuck at the hurricane party, the Braves decided the season matters and ripped off 2 IAR from KCR behind Cy Young quality pitching.

Meanwhile the Mets drop two to MIL, and fall behind those Braves.

Crazy? Why, yes… yes, indeed.

It's why I never gave up on the season, bawse.

Well, I am happy. Pleased. Surprised. But still no real offensive explosion.

Looks like a date with the Padres is most likely.

Braves pitching makes them dangerous even with their flimsy offense.

How much would 3-4 of those blown games against weak teams mean right now?

This is why I can't stand the 'gee, aw shucks, it's a long season' nonsense they do when they blow games to the Oaklands and White Sox of the world.
