Kurt Suzuki with his career high 16th HR, puts the Braves up 2-1 in the 5th. Freeman also HR'd.

The young pitchers are looking solid. This is their time, this last month is all about them.

Ramirez, Vizcaino and Brothers combine to allow 6 runs in the 8th. Nats win 7-3 :banghead:

Suzuki's been amazing. Braves catching production must be at or near tops in the bigs.

And while it's a small sample sized, Winker's 0.65 WHIP and Minter's 0.67 WHIP are amazing.

Good move. Continuity for the young pitchers can only be a good thing.

Second straight real good performance by Lucas Simms. People are raving about his stuff. He's starting to make a case for consideration in next year's rotation. Ooh, Winkler didn't help by letting both inherited runners score with 2 outs.

Mets won 4-3 last night. S Freeman and Minter blew it for us late in the game.

Jim Johnson blows a solid start from Newcomb, Mets rally late to win 7-1, taking 3 of 4 games.


4 games left on the season, vs Philly. We haven't beat them much this season. Currently the Braves are slated for the 8th pick, I'd like the 5th or 6th. Would need a Phillies sweep though.

Miami won 7-1 last night, Teheran was terrible yet again in his final start this season. He finishes at 11-13 4.49 ERA and allowed a career high 31 HRs. Terrible terrible year for Teheran.

Already ready for the off-season regardless.
Hoping for it to be a productive one.
