I’ve always said put the ball in play you never know what can happen. The strike out may just be another out, but if you put the ball in play stuff like that can happen. Won’t happen if you are walking back to the dugout with the bat in your hand.

Another pitiful offensive outburst. A sac fly and an error results in the Braves run.
The Rev hits a weak ,bone in his throat, dribbler that Desmond absolutely butchered and The Rev is standing in the post game interview with the phones on his head talking to Chip.

agreed. not sure this current lineup with break out if it ever does. clinch a spot and then maybe last 10 games tool with some changes. maybe simmons jumps up to second hole. move everybody down one starting with prado and chipper back down to 5th. simmons makes contact at least, this offense as is hasn’t clicked at all

I was wondering about that, Chop Chop…it didn’t seem like his pitch count was that high, yet he is pulled…could’ve been big trouble if it went into extra innings and we’re forced to play Martinez, for instance.
Again, better lucky than good (in FG’s case)

“I would rather people take us lightly,” catcher David Ross said before Friday’s series opener against Washington. “Philadelphia came in here last year and played us really good because they knew we were dangerous, and we didn’t play well and they swept us. Then the Cardinals beat them. They underestimated the Cardinals, in my opinion. I would love if a team underestimated us. So let’s just let this thing play out.” – david ross – oh really??? he fixed his mouth to say that !!

I think we should be rooting for the Dodgers because it is unlikely that they would have the time to have the rotation lined up for them to be starting Kershaw in the wildcard playoff. Kershaw probably pitches last reg season game or tie breaker game.
