Teheran dominance!

This has to be D-Blowe’s last start.
If we can get to PS, D-Blowe should be a mop-up guy.

It’s ok Fredi! You have a 3 year contract so you keep playing like this season has two more months in it.

Don’t think for a minute that playoff teams won’t know they can run at will on the Brian ‘103 steals and counting’ McCann.

And I guess if I “have” to point any fingers (which I don’t like to do), I’d say it mostly rests on Prado and Heyward.

Really the phillies have no business playing their starters. why dont we throw at some of those guys at least once an inning and make them think twice about risking injury in a meaningless game.
Really i would nail utley at least once and that would be the end of it.

This should be his last braves’ stint.
He doesn’t deserve anything.
His ERA+ was 88/98/76 last 3.
That is below average for 15M.

McCann with another blunder calling Lowe to throw to 3rd with a hustling Ruiz. Blunder Mac.
Loved the shot of Fredi in the dugout during Lowe’s typical meltdown. Idiot.

Don’t talk too much smack cardsfan. Except for that fluky championship, when Braves let you back into playoffs in 06, complete underachieving for 29 years. You going to pull Dizzy Dean and Stan Musial out now? LaRussa and his white shoes can gth

if your hope lies with the falcons then you shall soon be crushed again. our fat overpaid offensive line is the equivalent of Blowe. they cant keep Ryan off his butt long enough for our offense to have a chance, and the defense is still the same train wreck it was last year

“Polanco SF puts Phillies up 4-0 in 4th. Manufacturing runs. What the Braves don’t do”
And they won’t do it next year either because the Braves hold no one accountable to make sure this team does the fundamentals. Fredi ain’t going no where. Probably all the coaching staff will be back next year and the results will be the same.

And what scares me the most is that the Mets have yet to recover from their collapse.
If we do indeed fail to reach the postseason, everybody not playing the field has got to go. Can’t have that negative energy around another year.
