Oh yeah, uh-huh…the guy hops in front of McCann, the ball gets to the base but the tag is late, Vaz threw to second instead of first…yeah, McCann sooo blew that inning…
On the plus side, his AVG is .319, and his AVG with RISP is .348! 18 RBI, now. Whoo-hoo!

The slow-mo of that swing by Francoeur looked bad. Doing all kinds of little things, mixing and matching from his old approach and what was supposed to be his new. Not good….
Meanwhile, on McCann: He was 2-for-20 against lefties before he went on the DL. He’s 6-for-16 against them since he came off DL.

Can the Braves get a special DH rule so that Jordan Schafer never has to hit ever again? He is seriously terrible. At this point, his hitting to so awful, I’d trade in his defense for a mediocre defender who didn’t suck as bad as he does with the bat.

How was that inning a waste? The Braves got two runs back after the Giants scored three. They gave us two runs, folks. Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. Teams have been giving us gifts all year. Last season, we get a strikeout and a double play in that situation. Open your eyes. I don’t think this team is great, but if teams are going to keep helping us out, we’re going to be in this all year.

Not to give Francœur and Schafer a pass for those miserable ABs, but, had Javy thrown to first on the bunt, the Braves would be leading 2-1.
Had the home plate umpire called interference on Molina, the Braves would be leading 2-0.
This suck-fest is a team effort, umpires included.

That’s where we could see the injuries REALLY hurt us. We already have Chipper out, but trading Escobar’s bat for D.Hernandez’s bat is a big loss.
And… I like Jordan Schafer, and he does have a lot of talent. But while we’re out shopping for a corner outfielder, we might need to look into a stopgap to get us to Gorkys Hernandez. Schafer looks completely out of place in the big league batter’s box right now. He looks so bad that I’m not so sure this kid’s ever going to be a true big leaguer. Maybe I’m wrong, and I hope I am. But we don’t need another Ryan Langerhanz.
We’re probably not going to be able to get TWO impact bats without giving up half our farm system… but a one big corner outfield bat, plus a Mark Kotsay type (not Kostay… just some kind of healthy version of him) would be fine.
