The Atlanta Braves???

[Dukebluejms]

This team has not hit a lick and can't score runs (except tonight), they are getting no production from Uggla, they have been riddled with injuries (Heyward, Chipper, McLouth, Hudson, Moylan, and now Prado), and yet they have the 4th best record in the Majors... not the NL but the entire MLB.

If they can get rid of this injury bug, I think they are the team to beat. Unhittable bullpen and the best rotation in the NL and probably MLB.

I just wanted to get some thoughts on this. It baffled me when I looked at the standings tonight.

[BRAVES1985]

agree 100%

[BRAVES1985]

poster dlunc will be here to disagree any second

[BRAVES1985]

and medlen and beachy are also injured

[BRAVES1985]

and dont forget best era

[lunchbawks]

run support?

he has given up more than 2 er only once this season

he doesnt need run support

[BrigadierPudding]

They need Uggla to start hitting, Heyward to get healthy, and a trade to acquire a CF.

[DemoralizdDreamr]

looks like this team is for real.

[thebestthereis]

they just need hudson to pitch vs the astros and then play the astros in a 98 game series the rest of the year. at that point they will be in a good position to make a run at the post season.

hudson has been their worst starting pitcher

Well if you love them so much then put money down on them to win the NL. They won't even win the East but who knows when they get to the playoffs.

And if you look at injuries, it's not like the Phillies haven't been hit with injuries all year too and they have the best record.

[dlunc3]

I wont disagree that they are not dangerous... but to say they have the best starting rotation in baseball after two and a half months is absolutely absurd.

[el jefe]

Uggla sucks. Ship his ass to Oakland.

[Dukebluejms]

You guys are missing the point. The Braves and Phillies rotations are both great, and when you look at the stats its 6 one way and half-a-dozen the other. I know every team has had injuries, especially the Phillies. My point was that the Braves have looked like shit and still have a pretty good record.

relax man whats up with phillies fans always take everything so fukin seriously ... man i thought yanks fans were the worst but the phils fans take the cake


phillies are the best everyone else is dog shit

[HoulihansTX]

Not an exciting team to watch though.

Well so far, there have been 2 threads started by braves fans regarding the braves being great and the phills being overrated.. I dont see any phills fans starting pointless threads like that. Phills fans are smart enough to know that the playoffs are what matters. Braves fans can waste their time talking in the mean time, when they still are sitting behind the phills in the standings. So who is it again that takes the cake?

[BravesandMagic]

LOL check out all the haters. Once j hey and uggla get back to form, the Atlanta Braves will have the most dangerous hitting lineup in the MLB. Philles have a pathetic offense compared to the bravos. Braves do have the best starting pitching staff in baseball. Stats do not lie guys.

[dlunc3]

guess we forgot about the red sox huh? and why is the phills offense ranked ahead of the braves when they have been affected by injuries more then the braves? and stats dont lie you are correct... yet you cant really define pitchers on two months of play.. lets look at the past 3 years and compare the phills and braves pitching staff.. your right, stats dont lie

[BravesandMagic]

Injuries? Only injury I know of has been utley. And he wont ever be what he used to be. I don't care about the past 3 years. If you want to look look at history, lets compare the 2 teams the past 20 years shall we? We're talking about this year only and the braves are the team to beat. We are doing all the damage without a healthy lineup. BTW when was the last time you heard of an 8th inning relief pitcher getting considerations for a CY young? ? Venters! Enough said.

[BRAVES1985]

i have never once said the braves are better so wtf you smokin

this guy must be 14 years old alls he does is argue

the op didnt say the braves are better either

fuk you are annoying as fuk

[dlunc3]

you just said the braves are the team to beat

[dlunc3]

brown
victorino
rollins
utley
contreras
lidge

those injuries dont count?

[dlunc3]

ok again... since we dont care about the last 3 years (only the last 2 and half months), then lance berkman is better then albert pujols right? since he is having a better year? you retarded braves fans only stand by your arguments when they benefit you

[dlunc3]

and 0 chance venters will win cy young.. he is good though i will admit that

[dlunc3]

explain the answer to this question.. until then, there is no point in you speaking

[dlunc3]

enough is enough.. lets talk in october when once again your braves watch from the sidelines (as all the experts agree, not just a biased phills fan... i guess you braves fans are smarter then the experts too though right )

[BRAVES1985]

you are now on ignore there is no point arguing with a 14 year old everyday

[BravesandMagic]

explain the answer to this question.. until then, there is no point in you speaking

Yes, berkman is having a better season than pujols and is better thus far. Although I do not believe berkman will have better stats when the season is done.

[DemoralizdDreamr]

and 0 chance venters will win cy young.. he is good though i will admit that

how much money have u lost betting on the phillies bull????
This team always blows the unders and the lead. Unlike the Braves, ERIC O'Flaherty FTW!!!!

[BravesandMagic]

I said the braves are better. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

[dlunc3]

you are now on ignore there is no point arguing with a 14 year old everyday

stop bringing up past threads then... and until you can answer the question about pujols, are your arguments are completely invalid

[BRAVES1985]

phils fans are pathetic

fans from other teams cant have their own opinions about anything

[bekmurat]

agree with you
