[Thrill1]

Just got SWEPPPPPT

Go Giants!

[Bulldog1]

Watch it!!! Lol. I'm so upset with the entire organization, from the players to the owner, I'm about to go crazy.

[shoeless joe]

Eh...one series. Long way to go and they're still in 1st. Folks melted after the blown game late against Cubs and it didn't affect the team at all.

[Bulldog1]

We play 2 games vs. the 15-17 Rays Tuesday and Wednesday. I'd like to take both.

I'm still irate snit let Sam Freeman hit for himself in the 5th down 3 with whole bullpen available and off day tomorrow. Flaherty never hit. Snit is a DA... radio and tv thought it was idiotic, and it was

[Thrill1]

Relax. It?s still very early. Just know that other orgs besides ATL have very good prospects as you saw this weekend in Hanson and Suarez from SF. ATL is still rebuilding and has some great young pieces.

I just saw a LOT of hype about being in first place heading into this series. Glad the Giants got the bats going. Fortunate today because Strickland was about to blow it.

Hanson can hit, but that dude is awful in the field.

Yea, that was STUPID. He drives me absolutely crazy. Between these dumb game management problems and being the GM's Puppet.

[parabrave]

Guess it's back to we suck again.

[msstate7]

Guess it's back to we suck again.

Nah, we will bounce back. I'm pissed more than anything bc we had such hype coming home with great crowds, and crapped the bed. Hopefully it won't cost us butts in the seat next homestand, which could cost us with payroll budget next season.

[Bulldog1]

Guess it's back to we suck again.

We're fine. Just kind of draining after being so hyped up and then all this happening.

[msstate7]

Watched every pitch, and apparently missed fitz sitting right behind home plate. Strat57 pointed it out on sps

I must have missed it too.

[msstate7]

I must have missed it too.

I never pay attention to the crowd

[Bulldog1]

There's no way I can see anyone in particular unless they do a close up.

Was very Mississippi statesque to shit the bed this weekend after such a great road trip

[parabrave]

Gohara called up to be in the Bullpen. Good move.

[Bulldog1]

I'm worried about his velocity. Let's hope he contributes.

[msstate7]

I'm worried about his velocity.

If the report last week of 89-93 was accurate, this is a terrible move. Hopefully that report is wrong

[parabrave]

If he can give us an inning or two of 96-97 I'll take it.

[shoeless joe]

If he can give us an inning or two of strikes at 96-97 I'll take it.

Fixed

[parabrave]

Is Flarherty still on the team? Ever since the Bautista experiment began he hasn't seen the light of day. Tonite JB the DH and Culberson at 3rd. Guess hitting around .300 isn't good enough for BS.

Culberson is atrocious at the plate. Flarherty should be in above him.

[Bulldog1]

I don't get Culberson playing over Flaherty.

[shoeless joe]

Some of y'all snit haters need to give credit when it's due...looks like Culberson was the rite call.

And also...newcomb is dealing. Bout to have a legit power arm at the top of the rotation. If folty figgers it out in short order they'll be tough at the top

No Acuna was the right call/

Hard to respect an opinion when you're blinded by emotion. Culberson had an on base percentage of .500 tonite. Everybody would take that all day every day. Good call by snit

Just confused why he used Camargo at SS and culberson at 3b. Culberson is the better SS... whatever though, it has worked out

[parabrave]

Ozzie Ozzie Ozzie wait Freddie Freddie

[shoeless joe]

Snit and this GM are the biggest dumbasses in baseball...this bunch only has the second best record in the NL!!! That is horseshit!!! I demand a change!!!!!

[Bulldog1]

Great win tonight! But you've got to wonder how much longer the Bautista experiment will go on. 0-4 tonight batting .150 on the year.

[MetEdDawg]

It will probably last at least until Swanson returns. I hope not longer though.

[parabrave]

Thinking the same. When he put flaherty in I think that ended it. Glad Gohara got to pitch some. He will be a needed addition.

[parabrave]

Speaking of Bullpens Holder got the win last night and got in 2 more innings tonite. His era is down to 4.75.

[Bulldog1]

Lucas Sims' line tonight: 6.2 IP, 7 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 6 K
Borjous tore it up, too: 3-5, 2 R, HR (1st), 4 RBI

[MetEdDawg]

Bautista on the bench tonight. Flaherty gets the start at 3B

[Bulldog1]

Gotta pull McCarthy. He's done tonight- maybe for good.

[shoeless joe]

Obviously not starting Bautista tonite messed with the mojo of the team...what a dumbass snitker is.

I was hoping that statement would be so absurd that I wouldn't need these "***" but I guess not.

I will be sure to remember on my next satirical attempt to expose the stupidity of many braves posters here.

I know you're being sarcastic. You're just so quick to jump to the defense of Snitker over something I said last week.

[shoeless joe]

I know you're being sarcastic. You're just so quick to jump to the defense of Snitker over something I said last week.

I assure you my post wasn't directed at any one person. Just the general attitude of most in this thread. Some made their mind up long ago that they didn't like snit and they harp on managerial mistakes that he makes...all managers screw things up over the course of a season, we just see snits every game cuz as fans we watch and scrutinize more closely. My biggest beef is that those posters don't seem to realize that a large portion of the success of the team is ALSO due in part to snit.

And I'm not tryin to defend his every move or say he's the greatest manager for the team. I don't understand some of his decisions and I don't think he really understand the purpose or how to maximize a double switch. But at the same time I cant realistically say that I believe someone else would be gettin more out of this team.

Ask any braves fan alive two months ago if they would take the record of this team thru this portion of the season and 100% of them would have taken it. That is all.

[Bulldog1]

Bautista in the lineup tonight, batting 5th- playing 3rd base.

[msstate7]

Hopefully dansby will be back tomorrow

[parabrave]

AJC says BS is going to platoon them.

[shoeless joe]

Snit is such a dumbass for not having played camargo all year...he's an absolute studd with the bat




Oh yeah...make sure I remember these: **

[Bulldog1]

Bautista is such a great option at 3B. ***


.130 avg.

[Bulldog1]

Jose Bautista is a great 3rd baseman! ***

[shoeless joe]

The Bautista gamble was based on the hope that he'd hit well enough to make up for his inexperience at third. That's obviously not the case. I'd have no problem with him being a RH option off the bench.

But to that end I don't recall a soul clamoring that he'd be a very good third baseman

[shoeless joe]

Well my how things change...woulda been nice for it to been a 3 run homer

[Bulldog1]

Good HR by Joey Bats.

[Bulldog1]

Great win tonight!

[msstate7]

Just got SWEPPPPPT

Go Giants!

So, giants have lost 6 in a row...

[shoeless joe]

Newcomb = young Barry zito

[msstate7]

So Austin Riley hit his first AAA hr today. He liked that one so much, that he hit 2 more including a grand slam. This kid is gonna he great.

Braves will be a force for years to come. Starting now.

[msstate7]

Through 25% of season, braves have the best record in the NL. Also have the best run differential in the NL.

[Bulldog1]

I wonder if Swanson will be back today?

[msstate7]

I wonder if Swanson will be back today?

He was eligible yesterday. Really hope his wrist isn't worse than we were led to believe

[Bulldog1]

Grant McAuley says he'll find out when they get back to Atlanta.

[Tbonewannabe]

Is anyone going to the game on Aug 17th? It is supposed to be the Mississippi State Day. This is different than the Mississippi day that has already been advertised. Does anyone know if there is anything special about it?

[Bulldog1]

Great win today. I'll have to catch the highlights later.

[shoeless joe]

Snit managed the hell outta that game. Down a couple key guys in the pen and they made it happen. 9th looked worse than it was...Cubs had a seein eye past short and a broken bat duck snort to start the rally.

3rd base was MVP...both Bautista and camargo. And Albies is a studd up to this point. Really benefitting from the service time last year.

Just as well for Dansby. If he comes up, someone will have to go down. And right now that looks like Comargo since he doesn't have options and is hitting below .200. If he doesn't start hitting he may be sitting in AAA for a while, or traded, with Austin Riley waiting in the wings.
