Hey Joe Simpson,
Every time Francoeur grounds out and you say he got all of it, I wonder what is going on inbetween your ears

Esco hits the ball so freakin’ hard every at bat, but its a shame mac got in a funk during the biggest homestand of the season. Maybe he’ll turn it around in his next at bat for a game changer

Mac is pressing. I’ve seen him have better at bats when we are blown out at the end of games. Get back to what you did all along. He of all players does not need to change.

Look how good the lineup is when Frenchy is not an automatic out. This team has been underachieving all season, and they can get better. They’ve shown a lot of grit and fight at the plate the last few series. When Francouer gets hits, Braves score 6, 7 runs. When he doesn’t, they score 3 or less.

1. Lowe getting rocked by the junkees————no surprise there
2. Braves scoring more than 5 runs with tonight lineup ——–no surprise there
3. Mc letting us down is more than 1 keep situation ——— big surprise there
4. Cox steering the wheel rather well tonight.————— big surprise
5. Escobar has like 10 errors tonight ———no surprise there
6. Junkees pitching getting rocked ————– no surprise there
7. Junkees scoring lots of runs—————— no surprise there
8. logan into the game —————- big surprise
9. If the junkees complete their NY meltdown ————there will be no surprise there
10. if braves complete the comeback —————- would be a huge surprise

I love how Teixeira gets away with being a “slow starter”. Oh, I’m a slow starter. I’ll get hot eventually.
No, that means you suck. If you supposedly get good at a certain point in the season when the rest of the time you struggle, that means you’re not good.

That’s the difference between the Yankees and the Braves. Their manager will do something to put pressure on the opposing team like double steal in that situation.

TNScott We don’t have speed on our side, why would we do a double steal? McClouth has been sent a bunch of times and its worked. My biggest issue is why he didn’t play Schafer in the lead off spot. The guy is lightning quick and a simple walk can turn into a runner in scoring position.

I don’t know about the Nats “inability to score”. They scored 10 vs. Dodgers in LA and 12 vs. Phillies in Philly. Both teams were leading their Divisions at the time.
