The Atlanta Braves

[Wickman]

Winning pitcher.... Luke Jackson.

Lolol

Really a two birds/one stone night for the Braves. Luke blows it so the pressure is even more heavy to upgrade at closer, and the Nats choke one away via a terrible managerial decision for a guy on thin ice anyway.

 

[vols 30]

This was legitimately a fireable offense. He might not make it to their next home stand.

MLB network guys are blasting Martinez right now

 

[Blake25p]

We need a shutdown closer, overpay if you have to.

Braves won't do that*

*Serious question, when have the Bravos done so recently?

Teixeria trade, not recent but last time they went all in.

 

[The Sheriff]

We need to take three out of four and step on their throats now.

When he didn’t bring Doolittle in the game to face Freeman I was questioning Dave Martinez’s sanity and then things got worse from there. gNats fans are raging on their forums!

Got robbed of a win by Luke Ray Jackson but damn he’s on a great run.

Juli

Imagine posting all the slander about Colombian Jesus in these sacred halls. Can’t do it.

 

[The Sheriff]

Juli isn’t scared of any gNats!

 

[vols 30]

Anthony Swarzak lowered his ERA with #Braves to 0.44 in 20 appearances. He's allowed 1 run in 20 1/3 innings for Atlanta since being traded from Mariners two months ago, and has surrendered just 8 hits with 8 walks and 23 strikeouts

But heaven forbid he pitches in the 9th inning

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Once again

You already knew

 

[The Sheriff]

What is the point of bringing in an extra IF when...

A. It’s the worst defender in MLB anyway. Soso was confused and kept grabbing different gloves.

B. Rodney was gassed and couldn’t throw strikes anyway?

 

[volfanhill]

One of the worst managers in all of baseball

Yet the team out performs expectations with him every year

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Yet the team out performs expectations with him every year

Yes, they truly win in spite of him. It’s amazing really.

 

[BigOrange15]

TFW your manager just hung you out to dry.

 

[AV_12]

I respect Robles... but come on dude... he can’t absolute tank you right there

 

[AV_12]

If the giants don’t sell its going to be hilarious

 

[Regulator]

What I’ve read is that they’re still selling. Even though their “hot streak” has gotten them close to .500 and fringe contention, their run differential is still crap and ownership knows they have no shot.

 

[BigOrange15]

I'm all in on Stroman at this point. From the sound of it though, so is every contending MLB team. Gonna be tough to outbid some of these heavy hitters.
