The hapless O's are up next...Hope the Braves can take care of business against a poor team this weekend.
Braves 2021
- Thread starter SoddyNole
- Start date
Tomlin is what he is, an inning eater who is not that good. Problem is when he implodes they are too late to get a reliever up.
Remaining schedule is not too daunting, a trip out west to play the Dodgers, Padres and Giants will be a tough ask. Other than that a lot of games against the Orioles, Marlins, Rockies and Diamondbacks. Last week has the Phillies and Mets, should be an exciting finish.

Love the avatar. I did a Palace 5k run a loooong time ago. Used to shoot pool there some back in the day.
Indeed he did … he’s a physical specimen … Smith still makes me nervous… he won’t get away with putting men on base against the better teams.
Good to see Atlanta take care of business against these weaker teams The Braves are heading home, but the level of competition is about to go up with the Yanks and Giants coming to town.
I remember when the Braves couldn't get above .500 if it was handed to them, and now they're, what, 12 over?
I don't hear the Snitker whiners anymore for some reason. Maybe he does know a little more about this business than the rest of us. I wonder where they might be if Acuna hadn't gone down.

Snit's doing a good job, but I'd avoid risking ripping my arm out of socket patting myself on the back...The schedule has now gotten real.
I thought they would get to Montgomery early. The Braves had a lot of hard hit balls that were caught. There just isn't enough pitching yet. Ynoa did well for most of the game but he's very emotional and gets in his own way. He's still young and new, hopefully this year prepares him for the next. Santana was entirely predictable.
With all that said you don't win many games only scoring one run.

I am not a big fan of Snitker's ... We will see if the Braves can win tonight ...
Last night was another testament that you cannot give up walks, hit batters, and still expect to come away with a win against the top tier teams. ... Ynoa looks to have a great future ahead of him.
Maybe Atlanta should just sit out the rest of the regular season ... they would likely win their division by default with all the continuing losses by the Phillies and Mets.
Reminds of how Curly would always get picked to volunteer because Moe and Larry would take a step back while he stood still.
If we do make the playoffs (it is looking good at this time), I'm expecting to get slapped in the face in the post season.
Big series win against the Giants, meanwhile the Mets are taunting their fans with thumbs down after making big plays
Uh oh, some dark clouds have gathered on the horizon. The Phillies seem to have righted their ship while our Braves are stuck out west facing Max Scherzer tonight. Atlanta still has a 2 1/2 game lead as of now, but....
The level of competition has flipped and it shows.
Exactly. Looking at the box score (start time too damn late to watch) we had the lead in two of the three games in late innings only to have the bullpen lose it. Frustrating in one sense but encouraging with a few good trades and a little better injury luck we could be an elite team.
Well, the Braves had the lowly Rockies this weekend...Once again, Atlanta's baffling tendency to fail to dispatch bad teams comes back to bite 'em in the rump.
Well that was better today..Have the Nats, Marlins, and Rockies coming in on a home stand It's now or never to put some distance between the Phils and Mets
No excuses!
No excuses!
Touki gives you a couple great games a season and looks like a Cy Young winner those days. Then there is bad Touki you have deal with the rest of the season. I see why they keep going back to him and maybe there is a pitching coach that can break through and make him into the excellent pitcher he should be. Unfortunately, the Braves don't have a pitching coach up to the task.
One of my reservations about Snitker is that he sticks with some pitchers way too long … like Folty for example.
I give up. I figured Atlanta would dominate these weaker teams during this home stand.
A wise man once said that you are your record. Like it or not, the Braves are a mediocre team this year...If they do go on to win the East, it probably says more about the other teams in the division than it does Atlanta.

It wasn't a stellar week, but.........16 is the magic number.
I don't think the Phils have it in them to make it a race myself. I think the East is the Braves' to lose. But this bullpen means a short trip to the playoffs.
The Colorado series is now the third series in a row where the starting pitching is giving up runs in the 1st inning and putting the team in a hole. Obviously the other teams have scouted and found something on each guy. And our staff hasn't made any adjustments, or hasn't seemed to notice the trend (which I find hard to believe). So why can't Kranitz and the starters put a stop to this trend?
Rick Kranitz has been around the league for a long time and failed to find success at any of the stops and been let go at them all. Something odd I have noticed and not sure there is a stat to confirm but it seems like on multiple occasions he has gone to the mound to talk to a pitcher only to see that pitcher give up a HR on the next batter this season. I'm thinking 3-5 times this season maybe, crazy?
You should immediately contact a daily fantasy site whenever he goes to the mound to bet the house on the next guy homering then. 😁
Man, the Braves just can't get out of their own damned way! They've blown a chance to put a hammer lock on the East during this homestand against teams with losing records. ...And now, Atlanta heads out west for a long road trip which starts with the Giants and ends with the Padres. If Philly can catch fire, they could well be in the division lead following this stretch before coming to the ATL to close out the month.
Phillies on a four game win streak… Atlanta on a four game losing streak.
