Thanks for the explanation P-Town Brave ©.
Part of me would rather see them just rest up and roll the dice against Saint Louis, but no one wants it to come down to just one game.

I wonder if Francisco will be on the playoff roster?
He seems to be the forgotten man since Overbay was signed.
I don’t think he has had a plate appearance in a week and He has been struggling at the plate with the lack of consistent ABs.
Gonzales seems to prefer Overbay and Hinske as LH pinch hitters and Chipper will not sit out a playoff game.
I don’t see a roster spot for Juan.

Congratulations Braves! Thanks DOB and Carrol for all the great work you guys do for us Braves fans. I wasn’t the biggest Fredi fan but I do have to give the man credit for a vastly improved managerial job compared to 2011. Now on to bigger and better things. How about this? Start Minor in the wildcard game thus having a fresh Medlen and Hudson to open the division series. Talk about momentum. Risky sure. Kind of like Lee splitting his army at Chancellorsville but if it works…Like the late great Jerry Garcia once sang, “Since it cost alot to win and even more to lose’ This is gonna be fun. Keep on rolling! Go Braves!

Efrim-
Here’s something interesting I found in the postseason schedule footer….
*** TBS will air three of the four Division Series games on Sunday, October 7th and up to three games on Wednesday, October 10th. MLB Network will air one Division Series game on both of those dates. TBS will air 18 of the 20 Division Series games.
**************************************
Does the above mean for those of us who do not have MLB network we may not be able to see some BRAVES games if they get that far?

Hello all, Phil said he saw ace on the bradley blog so for those who are obsessed with him go pay him a visit. George is here and so am I. Tom was a vet who left because he was upset. I hope I have answered all the alter ego questions.
VJ and Cab are not the same person either.

McCann watches two fastballs and then swings at a slider in the dirt. The Braves could have used another run in that situation.

I know it’s bonus time but Uggla and McCann need to get on board! Get it going while the iron is hot. In the playoffs I would not Bat them back to back. McCann needs to get fitness training at season’s end. He is too good to be looking so bad!

In the wake of all the celebrating last night….most would assume that remaining home and such would produce some elevated moods among the roster……all this and, there is but one characteristic they can’t seem to shake…..bases loaded, one out…..and, as fast as you can say kudos; inning over and still one measly run. And, above all…..this ain’t no playoff team we’re playing.

I disagree with the weight being the issue for Mac. Bat speed….poor mechanics…injuries..too heavy of a bat ( remember when Mac when to a lighter Ash bat and started crushing the ball?) but its not his weight.
