Yawwwwwwnnn.....Braves win.
Yawwwwwwnnn.....Braves win.
I would love to knock off LA and their ever expanding payroll. They're trying to become the Yankees of the National League.As of right now, we get LA. I don't mind having to play LA or Colorado. I really don't want St. Louis at this time.
Rinse. Repeat.Yawwwwwwnnn.....Braves win.
I’m not sure that heals before the season is over unless we go deep.
I posted in this thread a few weeks ago that I was surprised that Philly had managed to stay in the race to that point because their team statistics ( namely a negative run differential) were not commensurate with their winning record at the time. It is therefore not shocking to me in the least that the Nats have surpassed them and look more every day that they'll finish 2nd in the NL East while the Phillies appear to be headed toward a sub-.500 finish.The Phillies absolute collapse in September is shocking. They're about to get swept again.
But there's a difference between playing to your talent level and completing collapsing.I posted in this thread a few weeks ago that I was surprised that Philly had managed to stay in the race to that point because their team statistics ( namely a negative run differential) were not commensurate with their winning record at the time.

While I am also a bit surprised by the magnitude of Philly's recent ineptitude, breaks do seem to even out over time. Kind of like scUM's football team last year, you live by squeaked-out wins, and you eventually die by them as well.But there's a difference between playing to your talent level and completing collapsing.
Just looked it up. Philadelphia is 6-19 in the month of September.While I am also a bit surprised by the magnitude of Philly's recent ineptitude, breaks do seem to even out over time. Kind of like scUM's football team last year, you live by squeaked-out wins, and you eventually die by them as well.

BULLPEN PICTUREMuch like a NBA coach shortens his bench in the playoffs, I hope Snit does the same thing with his bullpen and Biddle and Brach don't see the field during the playoffs.
I posted a tweet in the pinned playoff thread that listed the players left off the roster for the NLDS.I did forget that Dansby is recovering and still may not be 100%. So, this might make sense for the NLDS. I do like the look of the bullpen better though.

Braves needed both to be at their best because of their lacking bullpen.Bats and starting pitching is feeling the pressure.
Snitker is not among the finalists for manager of the year. I fully understand Craig Counsel but not Bob Melvin over Snit.
