[G-Fafif]

Between Stroman's size and his 7, I'm convinced a position player is pitching.

Maybe Matz is available out of the bullpen tonight.

Rosario triples and brings home Stroman!!! 4-0/

[Lefty Specialist]

Stroman can sure run, can't he?



Nice to beat up on Teheran.

[Guest 41Forever]

Wow. Conforto walks to make it 5-0.

[Lefty Specialist]

Ramos imposes sanctions on Teheran!!!

[Guest 41Forever]

Ramos drives in another! 6-0.

[Frayed Knot]

And if we'd quit hitting DPs things might be going even better.

With Braves pitchers having retired just four of the 15 batters they've faced [8 hits + 3 BBs] six runs allowed is almost good news.

[whippoorwill]

Someone call Mickey and tell him his basement is flooding and he has to go home!

[Guest 41Forever]

The pitcher who has played his entire career in the AL lays down a decent bunt.

[Lefty Specialist]

Things you don't do with a 7-run lead in the 3rd:



1) Issue a 4-pitch walk to the first batter

[Edgy MD]

It looks like we put Hubie Brooks in to pitch.

[Edgy MD]

Damn, take better care of your glove, Son!

[G-Fafif]

Least comfortable 7-0 lead...EVER.

[kcmets]

They can't piss away a 7-sniffle lead already! Right?

[Lefty Specialist]

Well, that's better.

[Frayed Knot]

It sounds weird to say in a 7-1 game, but that was a big GiDP there.



Braves have one hit so far and that was somehow an infield single by Brian McCann - a guy who might finish in a dead heat in a sprint with Wilson Ramos.

I mean, at least make them earn it!!

[Edgy MD]

Mickey says he goes by analytics 15% of the time and feel 85% of the time.



It says a lot. The thing is, a lot of time guys say they aren't going by analytics, they're going by analytics, just the wrong analytics.



I mean, saying you use analytics 15% of time is using analytics.

Wait a midget ... has Stroman died his hair blue?

Better than orange.

JD ROBBED!

[Edgy MD]

Great catch and great gamesmanship by Acuña.



Tomlin really doesn't seem to have anything working at all. He's just putting the ball in play.

[Frayed Knot]

I don't like that this lead is about half of what it should be (Hits = 17:4) and that the Braves still have four shots left at chipping away at it, especially seeing as how Atlanta bats score a large

percentage of their runs in late innings.







And so it starts ...

[Edgy MD]

Down to 9-3.
