I've really enjoyed this 1st half. I think we win be smoked from here out though.Quote:

Ender is a dumb***
Wouldn't be a braves' game without sam freeman pitching, and giving up a run
This is the collapse I was afraid was coming.
I realize we've played a brutal road stretch, but we're not even competitive in the games we're losing. Bone headed base running, bad at-bats, bad starting pitching, etc..
They better wake up in a hurry because the Phillies and the Nationals are coming on quick.
At least the Phillies lost too
It's a long season. The braved team that lost to the giants in 10 or 11 had a 10 game losing streak.
As far as ender goes, I guarantee you that snit had already discussed hustling on the base paths previously this year. I've noticed It quite a few times myself that he'll get frustrated and not even give 50% down the line. Snit did the rite thing by benching him. I'd like to see him sit out at least one more game. He's an elite level defender in center but he's apparently not as good as he thinks. That sorta thing can turn quick on a young team dealing with the ups and downs of a long season.
Snit said in the post game interview that he had talked to Ender about it before. Definitely the right move and I agree. Would love to see him out Tuesday vs the Blue Jays. I didn't get to see it live but heard it live on the radio. Radio guys instantly called it out for what it was.Quote:

Stolen from chop country...
Braves now 44-47 against all teams not named Marlins or Mets.
Long season...
Yeah, I know. I'm red line at the moment though... horrible lossQuote:

If minter's blister issue is lingering, we screwedQuote:
