Post-ASB TWiB Notes, July 14 thru 16

[Frayed Knot]

Braves are slumping so far in the second half, it took them four batters into the game before they were up 4-0

[Edgy MD]

Baltimore might be the next-best team right now after Atlanta.



Hard to believe Cincinnati is as good as they seem right now, but if you're the type to look at power rankings, they're probably top-five.

[Frayed Knot]

Two ChiSox pitchers, 40+ pitches,10 batters, but only four runs as Acuna, in his second AB of the inning, flew out with the bases loaded for the 3rd out.

[Frayed Knot]

Braves actually lost.

Had the tying run on in the 9th but GIDP'd to end it.

Only hit 2 HRs which is six under their recent average.



Phils are about to win a DH

[Frayed Knot]

After bashing their way to a win on Friday, the Braves lost Saturday and today to the ChiSox ... so they might not go the rest of season undefeated after all.

They didn't even hit a homer today!!!



Phils didn't change their start time like the Mets did but waited almost as long to get started vs SDP (they're in the 4th).

These things are always a tough call but, at least today, the path the NYM took is a lot better for the attending fans.
