They are pouring it on the Phillies

Saw something the other day that made me smile...2/3rds of the braves lineup has a higher batting average than The Bryce Harper.

yes sir. Struck his arse out all wknd

And Harper's probably making more than that 2/3s combined. He's good but way overvalued as a player, but he does help fill the stands.

As predicted, the pitchers have figured out Riley, he's headed back to AAA.

He can’t hit anything off speed and can’t lay off the high heat. He will get it figured out. I think are going to have to pick up some pitching before the deadline to have a chance to go deep in the playoffs

Riley and I have something in common. A low outside slider gave me fits too.

Never heard of her

They went out and got a proven Closer and some more Bullpen help before the deadline so they must be serious about winning this thing.

I think they made some good moves that will give this team a chance to make a run without destroying the farm club rosters. Supposedly the Braves have talent stacked like cord wood. I'd love to see them win the pennant yearly like they did in the 90s.

Well, its pretty dang obvious the Braves still aint got a closer. Back to back blown saves, wow! Well technically he didn't blow the save yesterday, they were tied when he came into the game.

Worse than a blown save. He got credited with the loss.

The thing is, and I've seen both of his appearances as a Brave and the other teams are not exactly killing the ball off of him all the time. He has had some really bad luck hits against him, excluding the HR blast. Too many pitches being left in the middle of the plate. Once they let Kimbrel get away they have been snakebit on closers. Surely they have someone in their farm system that can throw 100+ for strikes for just an inning.

That dude was 22-25 saves for Detroit. I ain’t counting him out yet. May be wishful thinking though. We should have grabbed Kimbrel

3 year, 43 million contract. 5.68 ERA in 14 appearances. Oh and he's on the DL currently. No thanks.

Thats what i dont get? Errbody like, gotta get kimbrel! Like its the kimbrel of 5-7yrs ago...he’s washed up as closers go.

I’d put in John rocker

I loved rocker.
