Braves Ongoing Season Comments Thread..

As soon as we clinch the division, I say give the starters some rest. Get them back in there the last weekend of the season to get some AB’s then give em he!! in the playoffs.
The Braves dodged a toxic bullet. Pirates' closer Felipe Vasquez was arrested for having sex with a 13 year old Florida girl today. He sent her nude pics across state lines as well. While the pics are clearly not his worst crime they make this a federal case. His life his basically over. I thought he was the best closer mentioned as potentially on the market at the end of July deadline. Thank goodness for unanswered wishes.
The only other tangible goal would be getting home field though the NLCS, that seems unlikely as The Dodgers are 4 games up.
Yeah, I just don’t see us catching the dodgers.
We’d better focus on beating the Nats.
I think we could lose out and win the division, but let's not. I want 100 wins.
Still, I want 100.
100 has a nice ring to it. Like running a mile in 3:59.9 sounds better than running one in 4:00.0
McCann is killing us with all the double plays he’s hitting into.
He is veeeeery slow afoot. It takes him an hour and a half to watch 60 Minutes.
I still want to win 100 but it looks like the team is letting up after really killing it to win the division. This is the 1st series we've lost since July 21st.
One way to look at it is the team was able to dominate in the clutch. Hopefully they can find that groove again for the playoffs.
Glad to see Acuna get his 40th HR today, hopefully he’ll relax and start making better contact. Hope he gets his 40 stolen bases, will put him in some elite company. He joined Mel Ott and Eddie Mathews today as the only players to have 40 HR seasons before turning 22 years old.
Anyone going to the game tomorrow to see the braves clinch?
Beat me to it. To me what is more impressive than who had a 40 HR season before turning 22 is the long list of all time great power hitters who didn't do it. This in a sport that was the national game for over 100 years.
Love hearing Frenchy rag on him during the broadcast. Talking about watching BMac rounding the bases being "the most exciting 2 minutes in sports!"
That's awesome. Love it.
