  2. Fantastic win ! Awesome pitching and spectacular offensive performance. Lopez continues to shine. Finally, this offensive output is turning the corner to be what they are capable of becoming. Keep it going!!

  4. With Fried on the mound tomorrow, he needs to be the Fried of old and have a great game . And our hitters need to keep it going and no let up to allow us to win game 3,

  6. Spectacular pitching tonight. The bats came to life again as Arcia gets to trot around the bases twice tonight and enjoy the Philly boos!! Loved the 1st to home sprints from our track stars as well. Murphy adds on behind Arcia with a bomb too. Hopefully Fried can hold the Phillies down and give us a chance to win tomorrow as well. Thanks Grant and Jake. GO BRAVES ⚾

  10. One of my biggest of my MANY complaints about Snitker is how he uses Dylan Lee. He seems to be treated as like the 6th or 7th reliever alot of times. It really irritates me. I think he should be filling in for Minter going forward. He's been excellent ever since he came up. He's gotten it done against lefties and righties and this year he's been even better.
    Ge should be over Holmes in high leverage situations, and honestly oner Johnny too. I don't think Johnson this season has been all that terrific and he ESPECIALLY concerns me coming in with runners on base. I don't think he should be doing it at all. His main weapon is a huge curveball that gets away from him sometimes and its let runners in in critical situations on wild pitches.
    I think your bullpen pecking order right now should be (excluding Iglesias who's obviously the closer and Minter who's probably thrown his last pitch as a Brave).
