McCann wheres your dad and bro you gave them credit when you hit homers in July. Uggla with 91 hits this year hoping he can get 9 this month because then Freddi will say you had great year. The Phils will most likely catch us. Still say shutout today and tomorrow hell know Maholm will get tag for two homers.

The reality of it is, house should be cleared if this BS happens all over again. Only players safe are Freeman, Heyward, Simmons, and Kimbrel. Gotta escape this loser mentality when the spotlight comes on.

This dynamic is addicting…The pitchers loathing opponents for hitting the homers off them. the manner in which Fredi protects and has his players’ back/makes Umps squeal {wet britches, etc.}. Number 26 attracts attention by imitating a helicopter each at-bat…..Just a few of the ‘draws’ for me.

Tehrehan Delgado and Garrin From AAA is all we have the rest should be released.

And this inning began with so much promise with Lee and Rollins hitting weak grounders to second base. Hudson continues to give up runs in odd-numbered innings today too. No way the Braves score more than three runs today.

The TV announcers just said McCann is throwing better than he ever has. That the shoulder has nothing to do with his throwing at all.
Braves people are going to have to have a meeting and get their stories straight on the downfall of McCann.

Mac can’t pick the ball up out of the pitcher’s hand. Gotta be part of it. Thus, the glasses we now see, which have yet to help. Thus, you wonder if it’s more than that.
Frankly, it’s getting to the point of who cares.
Meanwhile, ole Uggla is doing his part to help drag the Titanic to the bottom again. It’s unbelievable to me that he still plays each day.
This lead guy on the telecast has a nice, calm, even approach to calling the game. I like him a lot already.
And the collapse is underway. We can’t hit so how are we gonna win consistently?

So eerily similar to last year. Especially with Kimbrel blowing the game last night – c’mon Craig, no way you can give up a hr to some single A caliber player like Kratz. If they collapse again this year (which I honestly still don’t think they will) I think it will be tough for their fans to get behind them again.
