Schwelly is awesome. He will compete. I hope our hitters compete. Maybe they could even run hard to first? Just for Tuesday? Come on, one game can you guys hustle???
That's the Braves way, isn't it. If the name ends in a consonant, shorten it and add a "y" sound to it. Olson = Oly. Murphy ends in a vowel, so just shorten it. Murphy = Murph. Swanson = Swanny.
That's been the custom since at least the Bobby Cox-y days.
I totally agree, hitting with runners in scoring position is gonna be the deciding factor in these final games. It's been a struggle all season, but if Sean Murphy can finally get on board, I think we've got a real shot.
Well, this series that starts tonight will likely decide our postseason chances. This needs to be treated as a playoff series. Really need to sweep, but definitely need win 2 out of 3 at minimum. GO BRAVES and GO DAWGS!
After the Mets, we get KC Royals at home. The Mets get the Milwaukee Brewers on the road. Not sure how that plays out but we'll know soon enough.
Doesnt help that the Royals are fighting for their playoff lives and the Brewers have already clinched.
2 out of 3 keeps you in the game. 1 back with three to go. That is doable.
But a sweep is needed. Tall order. Mets are playing well these days.
Would put you 1 up with three to go and the Mets would be demoralized.
Either way the team they need to lose is in the other dugout. All you can ask for I guess.
It is do or die time now for the Braves….!!
I feel good about our chances against those "lousy, stinkin' Mets" with Swhelly, Sales and Fried going to the mound.
The real problem is ….Can we get the games in with the weather that is coming in? Would there be a one (or two ) game playoff after the Royals series? Will we play a double header tomorrow to try and get the games in? What about the Royals series if the Braves (or the Mets) have a one game lead?
Let's do it, Braves! Start D'Arnaud!
So much depends on tonight. If the Braves can win tonight the pressure will shift to the Mets.
Travis is getting the start, I just checked.
YAY!!!!!
Sounds like a good move…Murph wasn't doing much with the bat lately. Hope it works out.
Tonights lineup
I like it!!
Go Braves! Hate on those "lousy, stinkin' Mets!"
There is some pop in that lineup. Hope it shows up.
