Reds are the hottest team in the NL.

Make it 4 shutout innings. We've got to stop making bad pitchers look good. We made Alex Cobb look like Sandy Koufax, and we're making this scrub look like Mariano Rivera.

Make it 5. Hang your head in shame, offense. That's inexcusable.

Looks like we are going Minter over Winkler in the closer role today.

I saw all I needed to see from Winkler as a closer on Friday night. He pitched a good 8th inning. Keep him in the set up role. He got way too amped up on Friday.

Winkler has closed games before.

Well we salvaged 1 game this weekend. Still pretty pathetic...we should have swept this team.

Meant Minter has closed before.

Losing Friday night was terrible and I'd say it contributed losing yesterday.

That Reds series is looking tougher by the minute too.

Record is bad, but they just swept the Cubs and have won 7 in a row and 9 of 11. Hopefully we can manage 2 out of 3.

Braves Nation can finally breath now.

I'm very happy to see the Braves avoid the sweep with the W. It was a must-win game no doubt. If the game had been opposite, it would have left a bad taste in my mouth for a week. Great job guys!

I like the uniforms we wore this Weekend. I would like to make it a permanent part of the lineup.

Who do we pull for tonight?

Phillies are closer in the standings, but the Nats are the bigger threat in the long run.

Im pulling for gNats unfortunately. Gives us a 2.5 game lead. But that means gNats only stay 3 back.

We have to take 2 of 3 from the Reds. Because its gonna be a struggle to go 5-5 on the Road Trip.

We have too, but it's gonna be tough. Despite the record, they're the hottest team in the NL. They just swept the Cubs and have won 7 straight and 9 of 11.

I feel good about the 3 starters we got going. Folty,Sanchez, and Newk.

I feel good about them. I don't feel good about the bullpen or our manager managing the pitching staff well. They're saying now that it might be Tuesday before they activate Acuna. I hope him returning gives the offense a boost.

I cant wait until Acuna gets back...im tired of hearing about Juan Soto.
