Braves

[msudawglb]

This team is and has been streaky all year. That's both bad and good news for the playoffs.

The most frustrating part of this team is the inability to have a shut down inning after the offense gets them back in a game. And this isn't a recent phenomenon...it's been the case in all the low points this year.

I'd appreciate it if they could continue their losing streak another 2 games. Then they can win the last 9 or so. Go Cardinals!

While very frustrated, I'm not in panic mode yet. The braves have got to play better at home though... they have gone 4-14 in their last 18 home games. Wow

While I admit, I don't watch many Braves games, I did watch last nights game. I'm not telling you anything that you don't know, but the bullpen has been stinking it up. Way too many walks.

I'd say so. In September, the braves have pitched 154 inning, and they have walked 94 batters = 5.49 bb9. They have walked 9 or more in 5 of 17 September games. They have walked 6 or more in 9 of 17 September games. The braves are 2nd worse in mlb this season in bb9

Just another streak amid a very streaky season. Hope they can turn it around here quickly. Rather lose to the cards than the phils

Cards need the sweep. We finish up with series with the Brewers and Cubs which will be tough to split. Losing 3 out of 4 to the Dodgers really hurt. I will say, the Dodgers are probably playing the best ball in the NL over the past 2 weeks.

Still unable to have a shut down inning. Unbelievable

These walks and allowing the opponent to answer are just wild. Gotta figure this will swing the other way soon

Huge 4 game series with Phillies starts tonight. I would love to wrap up the division this weekend, but gotta take 1. If we win 1, I don't think there's any way we lose the division. 1 win would put the division lead at 3.5 and magic number at 4 going into last week. We'd have 3 games at Mets and 3 at Phillies. They'd have 4 games at Rockies and 3 vs us. If we win 1 this weekend, they'd most likely have to go 6-1 with 3 of those vs the braves. Not impossible, but doubtful. 2 games this weekend, and it's ova

Really needa jump on em tonite and cruise to victory easily. Worst case scenario is a bullpen walk a thin allowing them to come back late in the game. But anyhow winning tonite is absolutely huge for many a different reason.

Yeah if we come out strong tonight I think we can put the nail in their coffin and break their will. They are hanging on by a thread but they are the walking dead right now. Need to take advantage of that. They will come out spirited tonight, but if we take it to them tonight they will crumble.

Vizcaino looks to have adjusted his arm action. Slider looks good. Be nice for him to round into form.

His FB hit 99 too. He's got to be on the playoff roster. Leave Carle off.

I think we broke the Phillies last night. That looked like the nail in the coffin. Teheran needs to follow it up with a big time start and shove it today. He's probably pitching for a rotation spot in the playoffs tonight.

The number is 2.

[MetEdDawg]

The number is 2.

And the Nats are officially eliminated. Win tomorrow and it's our division.

[Liverpooldawg]

Yep

I come and see first hand how dumb snit is. Total freaking idiot. Why do you pull folty?

[msstate7]

I even cheered when they announced snit, joe. Great job, braves

Division Champs baby!
