Great answer from the Braves to score 4 in bottom of 8th after Tigers scored 3 to tie in top of inning

 

[Chewbaccer]

More interesting than it needed to be. Can't get mad at Dansby for the error, because we would have never had a 3-0 lead to begin with without his bat. I'll take the win. We seem to be better on the road here lately.

Now let me puke as I say go Dodgers.

Another great start for Julio.

5 innings

Another fantastic outing by Teheran....thoughts @Rod Freakin' Dangerfield?

Not a fantastic outing. Need to go a minimum of 7 to get that labeling.

FUCK

I'll pass.

He is the NostraDumbass. The players he shits on the most continue to do well

I got your dumbass right here, Citrus Bowl.

He had a sub 1 ERA for May and hasn’t given up a run yet in June.

And he hasn’t given up a homer since April.

1 game back heading into this week boys. Another fantastic start for Julio. That's 6 in a row I believe. Not sure what else he has to do to convince some people around here. Maybe 6 straight perfect games?

Pirates and Marlins on this road trip. Anything less than 4-2 is unacceptable.

Freddie continues to be top 10 in the league in batting average, hits, runs scored, OPS and WAR. Not sure what else he needs to do either.

That's the most surprising stat I think. Seems like for a while there he was giving up at least 1 homer every start

He’s figured something out. His pitches look like they have more movement to me.

 

[bamafan4evr12]

So who do we draft tonight? Picks 9 and 21, I've seen some mocks saying we're taking position players for both picks

 

[bamafan4evr12]

I was thinking the same thing. Also his fastball has been 91-93 consistently. When he's sitting there, he's been good.

Last year whenever he was 88-89 he was getting hammered.

I really wish we could have all 5 starters healthy, and pitching decently at once. Seems like last year we had 2 or 3 at one time pitching great. Then the other 2 struggling. Same thing this year

The MLB draft is the biggest crapshoot in sports. I don’t know who’s projected to go where.

Ironically, the two I was least concerned about before the season have been the two problem child’s. Folty and Gausman need to straighten up, though I think Folty is getting it together. Rough start his last go round, but the velocity is up and he’s not walking the yard

I'm realizing that. I've only recently gotten into the draft where I actually watch our first couple picks

We drafted Jason Hursh one pick before the Yankees took Aaron Judge, and Alex Jackson was a top 5 pick and his ceiling looks like defensive backup catcher

Agreed. I had no worries with Folty and Gaus at the beginning of the season. I was concerned with Soroka getting healthy and Teheran being consistent and hoping to find a 5 from the farm.

Soroka has been Cy Young material. Fried has been excellent. Teheran has been excellent. Folty and Gaus have been awful. I do think Folty may be turning the corner, I'm hoping his first month back is what Spring Training would've been for him and he's coming into form now

He's NOT OUR ACE!! Soroka,Fried, and Folty should go 7. Julio is our #5 so any start where he goes 5 or 6 innings and keeps us in it is a good start and he has more than done that this year

Don’t try and confuse Rod the Julio hater with facts. It doesn’t make a difference
