Rough last night...Folty has got to have a shutdown inning after they put him ahead 4-3. Really love this team and what the future holds but I’m not totally convinced they make a serious run this year.

I’m glad my Atlanta Braves got me through the no football season. Now let’s hang one to the division lead!

No bandwagon here either. Cowboys and Cincinnati Reds.......
Well just so you know I hope you and Skip eat crow! I just picture his face every loss they take. Haha in all seriousness I think the Cowboys got a pretty good team this year. Heard they are trying to get Earl Thomas too. The WRs are ??, but who knows what will happen in the NFL. Glad Dez is gone?

It seems like we’re running out of gas . Which is crazy with all the young guys we use. Pitching to me seems like rolling the dice too! I don’t know. (In my very limited time and little knowledge) of the team our Manager had me scratching my head a few days ago as well. I think it was 2 games ago when we came back and beat the Rays anyway. He didn’t pitch run Suzuki at first, and we hit a double and he had to stop at 3rd ....which he scored anyway in the inning, I think it was the 8th inning, but I didn’t like that . It was 0 outs. We were down 1. No sac bunt or nothing. We won the game, but just makes me think how he manages. Which I don’t watch enough so I don’t know! So I’m just going to ask you. What you think of our manager?

Ipsy you lay the foundation for an excellent point my friend. Snit right now IMO, should be MLB mgr of yr for all of baseball. What hes done (ahead of schedule) w/this young team has been phenomenal.

To your point though about his flaws, sure I think he tends to LEAVE STARTING PITCHERS IN TOO LONG at times, to the point its probably cost us a few games. Bullpen though hasnt been exactly great, but Venters has generally been solid. We also miss the injured Vizcaino. Nonetheless to answer your question I am very satisfied w/Snitker. Freddy Gonzalez was not the sharpest tool in the shed, and we are much better off!

What makes baseball hard to watch for me as well is they’re to many Ls in baseball lol. The plauoffs is basically the only thing I’m actually able to watch, and the Braves don’t make it usually....Hold on!!!!

Ipsy, we're slipping....3 straight home losses (2 by one run) and the Phillies took advantage. Te lead has shrunk as you noted from 4 and half games to two in 3 nites....Must take next 2 of 3 from Pirates IMO....Hopefully Freeman will start hitting again... OFC

Seems like we got s lot of comebacks this year! :)

Ipsy theres some stat out there the Braves have the best batting average in MLB after the seventh inning and/or own the best record after being down after 7 innings or more.The baseball gods smiled on us again yesterday, and we need a win today to take the Pirates series badly. Why? Red Sox and D'Backs on tap this coming week!

I read we play the Phillies 7 more times this year and the last series is against them. Should be really interesting .

Unbelievable how successful my dad was and all the things he has . 150 acres, pool , gator , tractor,4 wheeler, made 100k a year, plays golf every day, etc, just everything he wants, yet is an A hole: , I’m over here wondering how In the hell did he do that the way he just drinks his life away every day.... All I can come up with is LUCKY. And got a good job at Dominion Virginia Power Plant. LUCKY. I’m over here struggling on the straight and narrow now and just jealous ....just had to let that out. Don’t pay it no mind.

Umpire gave the Redsox some generous pitch calls in the first .. Guess he was feeling bad for the guy. He threw 39 pitches in the 1st. Bolonga .
