8 runs today!
Hey Smitty have we had the exact same lineup in any two games this year or is this Cohen doing his thing?
How soon until this board has another meltdown? My guess is by the 3rd inning.
If there is a must win game all year, this is it. If we lose today it's time to hit the panic button.
Nah, but it's a necessary win. Our problem has been closing pitching and decision making hitting. When we figure those out we'll be fine. It's a long seasonQuote:

loaded again. I just don't get it. I know we aren't hitting shit lately but this goes beyond ridiculous.......

Couldn't have described that inning better.Quote:

It it my imagination or just focusing on only our flaws, but do we consistently make more baserunning blunders than most of our opponents. Just seems we consistently make terrible decisions on the basepaths over the years at a pretty frequent rate
This will correct itself. The fact that we're getting baserunners is a good sign. Our luck will eventually turn around in those situations.Quote:

Ugh.
First pitch was a hr.
Someone needs to remind him that back in the 90's the braves had one of the best pitching staffs in the history of MLB and Bobby Cox still rarely bunted except in certain situations.Quote:

Rea is seeing the ball really well rite now. That's one reason he struck out earlier...he knew the pitch was off the plate.
Does Bama bullshit with a lead off guy on? No they hit a double.
Has it not gotten even worse this year? I don't remember Cohen auto-bunting literally every single time the leadoff man gets on like we are this year.
Rea can scoop it but damn he's got to get that ball. Wtf.

Difference in the game so far - we chose to take the bat out of our best hitter's hands. Because baseball, or something.
So why has he gone back to this? Any theories? We definitely have more pop in the lineup this year than we did last year. And our pitching may not be as good overall.Quote:

And Tatum hanging that shit on an 0-2 count in inexcusable. You have to understand the situation there.
Bout tired of this team not having the sack to make a play when you need it. Maybe that three seed projection wasn't too far off
Tatum's got to waste that pitch on 0-2.
Tatum's made about three bad pitches all day, but they've taken full advantage. We haven't taken advantage of any of their mistakes.
Atta boy hump
Holy crap we need runs dumbass. What does tying it in the 4th do???
Cohen severely handcuffs this team. It's disgraceful.
Bunt him over!
Will Robson squeeze?
There is no explanation. He is dumb. Especially with our bullpen.Quote:

Good gosh, that literally only serves to put an out on the board. Doesn't help us in trying to score a run at all.
But he obviously backed off the last couple years, and now he's back to doing it again. So it's not something he just can't keep himself from doing; it's clearly an intentional decision to do that with this team for some reason. And yes, it definitely is dumb, and it's killing us right now.Quote:
