Braves and Nats about to start a 4 game set . . .
Sep 5, 2019, 7:23 PM

|
|

Stephen Strasburg is always tough on the boys from Atlanta . . . Freddie and Dansby hit him well . . . Acuña and Donaldson were not in these stats from Fox Sports . . . Markakis hits him well also but isn't in the lineup
Fried is chunking for the Braves . . .
Let's get this thing started!!!

I am going to miss next weekend's series, going to Syracuse

to watch our Tigers.
These next two series are going to be of huge importance, don't think we can catch the Braves, but we must maintain the Wild Card lead.

Last I heard Riley was doing some rehab
Sep 5, 2019, 8:36 PM
|
|
starts in Rome, GA maybe??? . . . Working more on hitting off speed pitches to get him ready to come back up . . . He is their third baseman of the future, so they will be patient with him!!!
Thanks for joining us Matt!!! I was tickled you were in the park for that amazing walkoff win the other night!!!!!!!

Markakis broke his wrist in late July . . .
Sep 5, 2019, 8:44 PM
|
|
He's not projected back for action until mid-September at the earliest . . .
He will be a free agent at the end of this season . . . Sadly, I don't expect them to resign him . . .

to be a valued target . . . the Braves aren't notorious for throwing that kind of $$$ he's expecting around . . .
They have stated that Riley is their 3rd Baseman of the future . . .
Personally, I'd love to have the "maker of rain" for another season or two!!!

Wow, what an outstanding 7 innings. One hitter... keep it going- guess we all know who gets the stitches in the ninth!!!!
Game one- now all you need is 1 out of 3.
Here’s to pulling for our Tigers to pitch a shutout Saturday!!!! Going to be epic.

And, that’s where I have an issue with snit. I have to bring Greene back out in the 9th. I know he’s good and it’s worked all year, but I just think ride the hot hand.

Getting more and more important - I’d imagine that y’all can close out the division by end of next week if you keep winning (but I have not crunched the math).

Walked in to turn on Braves Post Game show just in time to hear the Magic Number is 15. My math y’day was off because Nats have played 2 less games than us so far.
I’m hoping for a 3-1 series for the good guys - time to show that playoff form!
GO BRAVES!!!
