My son and I were talking about it when they said that. Given that this is the first year for teams to play every other team, it has to be a first.

After thinking about it, maybe they meant every MLB team? Didn’t the Braves only play the Yankees in ATL?

Braves have the highest batting average in baseball by nearly 10 points but only have a single everyday player (Acuña) batting over .300 for the season. Pretty wild times we are living in…

Doesn’t one of our own live near there?

He's more concerned w/the Lions winning right now than a trillion dollar baseball park

That is true. I may have miss heard what they said.
My wife says I don’t listen. I just reply were you talking to me.

Braves are about to bust this game wide open.

Pillar w/a 2 run single up the middle w/ 1 out.

It's a 3 run lead but that doesn't mean anything here lately.

Yes... they made less divisional games vs each team to do this... Division games went from 18 or 19 per team to 12 or 13 this season...

Arcia is in one heck of a slump in the 2nd half. Went from batting over .300 in early August to dipping down to .265 currently…

I am thoroughly impressed with Michael Harris this season. Kid was batting under .200 through the first couple weeks in June and has managed to bring his average up to .293 currently. They call him Money Mike for a reason.

Thanks for the quick reminder chief.

Strider sitting at 9 strikeouts and 1 hit through 5 innings but only thrown 62 pitches. Very efficient outing so far.

How do feel about Olson compared to last season? I know I was down on him last year due to being accustomed to having consistency from Freddie every year but I think he has proven his worth and is a great replacement. I will always choose Freddie to be my 1B but if we can’t have him then I don’t think there is another guy at the position I would rather have.

Braves have broken this SOB game wide open now .... w/NO outs.

Now would be a great time for an Arseeya later ball.

My sentiments as well.

Just got under it for a sac RBI fly ball. 7-0 Braves.

Phillies call timeout for a pitching change.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that the Bravos just pulled out a Volstyle XX slump buster on the Phillies!

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Hey look, Schwarber just raised his BA to .198!

Okay .... go ahead my dude.

 

[VolPack22]

Schwarber has one of the worst hot/cold zones I have ever seen

How you feel about a trade for Trea Turner for Orlando straight up?

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Harper w/a line drive 3 run dong. 7-3 now.

 

[VolPack22]

How you feel about a trade for Trea Turner for Orlando straight up?

I would do that in a heartbeat. This is an off year for Trea trying to live up to expectations. I’ll take a guy that typically hits .300, 20+ HR, and 30+ SB every year.

no way in heck Phillies do that deal...throw in the CF and then maybe...

Acuna w/ homer #39 gets a run back from Harpers shot.
