Can we score a run to tie it up?
YA, I think so! We average 1.7 runs for Blowe. We in great shape at the moment.
Doesn’t feel like a clinch night does it?

This team better put it’s money where Chippers mouth is cause I’m sick of “there’s always tomorrow”. How about we play as if there is no tomorrow? How about one win guarentee’s at least a tie for the wild card.

Okay, so Lowe gives up a home run early. At least it was a solo shot and that’s all he gave up. He looked good otherwise. He’ll get into a groove. I just wish he would get away from that goofy looking skip thingie he does on some of his deliveries. Now c’mon offense, bear the f*** down!

I don’t think you can trade Prado just because he had one bad year. He had too much stuff on his plate this year (switching position from IF to LF and he was on DL for quite sometime)

Well, so far we are not going up there with a patient approach. Bourn and Prado couldn’t wait to swing the bat.

Does this dumb team go to sleep every night and forget to be more patient at the plate? You would think that after 162 games these idiots would have learned to take a few pitches early to see what he has got.

No Prado doesn’t swing at everything, he swings at bad pitches. He needs to try swing earlier in the count when they’re throwing him fastballs right over the plate. He doesn’t swing until he’s down 0-2.

We need hitters to take Chippers approach of working the counts.
What the heck was Uggla doing?
Bourn for some reason thinks he is a homerun hitter now
Prado- not much needs to be said. He is a utlity player.

Yep. The offense showed no life outside of a harmless walk with two outs. More overaggressive approaches resulting in weak outs. They have 24 more outs to play with so hopefully they can somehow take advantage.

Sad when a 1-0 lead in the first inning of play feels more like a 5-0 lead with the Braves anemic offense. Not that it matters much now…but I would have liked to see someone else batting second instead of Prado in this lineup.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
You still have to ask?
Are you telling me that you agree to see Lowe on the mound?
He should have been replace on this rotation by Martinez long time ago.
Or Teheran. He could have given some starts to Teheran trying to set him up for a game like todays.
As always, this team sticks to the player that started the season just to show what? Loyalty?
What about showing some Loyalty to the other 24 players…………..
Chippers face right after Utley hit that ball says it all………….they are all tired of Lowe, and I dont think that started this season.

My comment was in response to someone wondering why Dan swung at that pitch. My point was, it was a good pitch to hit. Dan just didn’t do much with it, but it was a strike, even if he didn’t swing…

Disagree with DOB with Lowe pitching tonight he worst than awful more like sucks. 3o more starts next year with Freddi. There isnt a team out there dumb to trade for him if we would pay 10 mil.He will be ouy of this game by 4th inning. Freddi the ass he is takes Minor out when its. Braves are hard to figure out never thought Prado, McCann and Heyward would be this bad.Milky 200 hits tells us we dont need a hitting coach.Those three along with JJ should not get a penny more than there making now.

Lowe looks like the Lowe of Last years post season.
If we get to the post season and Lowe pitches like this I think we have an outside shot at winning a series but first we have to score some runs.
Lowe is awesome today. What great movements in his pitches. Haven’t seen this from Lowe in last 2 months.
