4.5 games up on those rotten phillies now… LET'S KEEP POURING IT ON. ALL GAS NO BRAKES!
Right on dude. Welcome to the forum.
Welcome and gongrats on your first post!
the local radio show said he is expected to play this weekend ….. which may be today
Rehabbing at Gwinnett, will play in double header tomorrow and likely join the Braves after they leave Baltimore.
Braves a winner. Phillies lose.
5.5 game lead. Small exhale.
Believe it or not Riley showing signs of life.
Jarvis played at Alabama. Drafted 2023 by the Tigers. I dont want to see Kim even tried again until Jarvis shows he cant do it. Jarvis is hitting a little and Kim absolutely wasn't
.
The Braves taking charge, go Braves. 😎
What a crazy finish in extras, scoring 4 in the top of the tenth and Baltimore scoring 3 in the bottom of the 10th to make it close. Braves win 7-6.
Eerily similar to our win on Wednesday over the Padres. 7-6 in that one too. Braves scored 6 in the bottom of the eighth with the Padres nearly making a comeback and scoring five runs in the top of the ninth.
Can't make this stuff up.
Not really "worried" about the Philthies. They have one hitter batting over .255 and that is Marsh, whose average has dropped almost 25 points since just before the All-Star break. Also, Harper at .253 is a shadow of his former self at the plate. An occasional bomb, with the physical toll of playing first base showing up more and more each game. The Bravos still could use another highly regarded pitcher (what team couldn't?), but it's not insane to believe that pitching juice can come from within the organization. Go Braves!
Our bullpen worries me a bit. Too many "Houdini" escapes, letting runners get on before closing the door. Way too scary for me. Love the resurgence in power hitting though. Agree on Jarvis, who keeps on doing it. Why not let him keep doing it until he doesn't do it anymore? Walt knows a bit more about the game than I do. I'm guessing he's just keeping some players "sharp" with a little PT. Maybe the lefty they started was deemed was hard to hit for a left-handed batter so they went right. Played the percentages? Seems Jarvis had some key hits against lefties in the recent past.
What do I know? I guess I know this…a win is a win, especially on the road. How matters less than how many.
Several contenders desperate for a catcher. Can AA get somebody to take Sean Murphy and his whole contract. Nothing against Murph, just seems like an opportunity there to get a really good return.
