Hitting is contagious, maybe this nine run outburst is a sign of goods things to come.
SEEEEEE?????
What aggressive base running does…..All the way around to third goes Francisco.

CRaZy- That would be former 80’s Braves announcer John “not so” Sterling. If you think he is annoying now, you really would have been annoyed with him then. When you consistently mispronounce LHP Terry Forrester’s name calling him Terry “Foster” and he plays for the Braves at the time. Seriously, are you kidding me?

Another 50-100 plate appearances of this and that’d make me pretty happy.
Now, that, I think, is a reasonable expectation.
***********
Jason is on a role….
Agree with the above…keep it going on some kind of reasonably consistent basis before we all go overboard back the other way. I’ve been way down on Jason at times, mainly last year, and it’s been good to see him do better this year.
As for Mac, does he have a single hit since DOB’s blog three days ago in which Mac declared himself all fixed up?

@b
your comments are those of an idiot who thinks that a career journeyman hitter with an OPS of .500 should be on this team. Constanza sucks, has always sucked and will always suck
don’t let 20 games skew your thinking, he isn’t a lucky charm, he isn’t anything but Jack Wilson for the outfield. Think he’s “lucky” ” explain his presence for 12 games during Septembers collapse…
He isn’t a good baseball player. 5th OF’er at best

I hate to see Redmond finally make it to the majors after spending nearly a decade in the minors, only to sit in the bullpen for a week and never get in a game. He might be headed back to Gwinnett for Jurrjens before he ever gets to throw a ML pitch.

I guess it’s time to overlook skills and tools and the fact that McCann is likely the best option at catcher for the Braves from this point forward, and call for him to go to the minors or call for Ross to start over him because he’s the hot hand. Oh, wait. That only applies to certain players.

Seriously?
We’ve been losing games hand over fist. It’s great to take the series, but why don’t we reach some point of reasonable consistency before we announce that WS tickets are going on sale? You know, win a few in Boston, win a few in the next 2 or 3 series after that?
