Common you knew it was coming

cannot hit lefties at all with the injuries, but dont forget Prado and Jones their two best hitters vs. LHP.

[BRAVES1985]

first 2 games were great to watch today was a good day to be with the family

[GOIRISH]

how were they lucky? 2 out of the 3 in the series went into over time. one went to the braves and the other to the phills. Sounds to me like they are pretty even.

Sure if 14-1 is even in the rubber match

Jones and Prado wouldn't have accounted for 13 today.

Braves are good but Phils pitching depth too much. No surprise there.

6-6 head to head this year

phils had the big 3 for 3 of the series

Don't wanna get in this argument, but do wanna point out that the phills two all stars were both out which should null out the prado/Jones arguement.. and the phills entire pen was out as well, but I do not think it would have mattered much in this series. Was a well played series with hamels just being better then Lowe today and the phills bats being a step ahead of the braves. Braves are the second best team in the nl though, no arguement here.

[BRAVES1985]

braves are missing 2 big parts of their bullpen too gearin would be in AAA and proctor would be bagging groceries right now if it weren't for injuries

[InTheDrink]

Braves lose tonight and the east race is OVER

you can just feel the momentum moving completely to the Phils...bullpen is loading back up...offense is...sufficient

Good run for the braves but they're just over their heads...should cruise to the wildcard though

[Rixsaw]

what is their rating? How can a team be overrated without rating?

ya i know .... who had them to do anything? everyone was jizzing all over phillies redsox world series since xmas

[InTheDrink]

common braves...you know the deal with this thread...unlike your phils thread it was a joke from the start

[odtw524]

Let's go phillies fukk the braves haha

[ebbearsfb1]

braves are trash... uggla batting under 200. heyward is a bum,

[dannyd66]

The Minor League Pitching Coaches....

should heve all this to their credit---------------

nobody knows their names, however, you can't argue with facts & PITCHING-----



the days of Maddux, Glavine, and Smoltzy are gone yet here they are....

gives you moment to pause and reflect..............yes............huh? ..............yes?

[warriorfan707]

I think they are rated right about where they should be, behind the Giants and Phillies

[Brock Landers]

Not a good team

[dlunc3]

kinda lookin that way

Giants blow

[doublej95]

I think the Braves know they are playing for the Wild Card not the East.

[neverstoppers23]

I think they are over-rated looking at thier record, I think their pitching staff has over-preformed and I am not in love with thier offnese. Their back end of their bullpen is top notch, but if you look at the NL and compare them to say the Brewers. Offense, you would give the edge to the Brewers. Defense , push. Starting Pitching, Slight edge when healthy to the brewers, bullpen push.
So yeah, i think they are heading for a down turn, but if you look at the rest of the NL who else is going to win the NL wildcard?

[dlunc3]

absolutely

[ebbearsfb1]

Braves will not make it past round 1

[dlunc3]

braves better be careful, or they might not see round 1

[t-wizzle]

Isn't this the team that's going to stop the Phillies from winning the world series?

[chantrain]

Braves are garbage, fuk them

[dlunc3]

lol weird how all those guys have disappeared from this thread

[InTheDrink]

when do we start the "Giants overrated?" thread?

they're not sniffing the playoffs

[InTheDrink]

That sound you hear is the sound of Jair jurrjens falling back to earth.

[laclippers504]

Not overrated, they are what they are and that's a solid contender that should make the playoffs but lose in the first or 2nd round

[InTheDrink]

Here come the Cardinals!

[dlunc3]

i hope not.... i personally want those overrated braves to hold on
