Ok, I'm 1-0 doing this. Lets see if we can bring some luck for good baseball in 2nd half....

 

Let the bottoming out commence!

Hey looks who’s still batting second…..

I vote that we change it up.

If they lose, you keep making threads.

 

TA in the 2 hole again. This MoFo doesn't learn

TA has the lowest OBP in MLB at .245.  Why is he still hitting at the top of the lineup?  Grifol is too stubborn and not good adjusting IMO. 

This could be one ugly weekend.

Wonder if he’s upset his most recent rehab is at Charlotte and not Birmingham like Eloy did for a change of scenery this time around. 

Reminder Tim Anderson’s last HR was July 15 2022…..today is July 14 2023…..

Didn't the Braves get swept by the A's?

In fact, if I recall correctly, there are exactly three teams that have a losing record in Oakland. The A's, the Braves, and the White Sox.

More like glass.

True masochists will love this series in Atlanta, I think I'll pass.

That's what we should hope for.

I’ll watch some of it as a Braves game. Watch how a good team plays the game.

Expecting a 3-6 road trip, or worse.

The White Sox should be introduced at Truist Field this series with the sounds of a funeral dirge.

They're going to argue it will save money on travel expenses getting him closer to Atlanta...but not so close (Birmingham) that he actually has to take a bus with all of his back issues.

 

These 2 teams were, along with the Padres, the top systems in MLB in 2017-2018. I feel there has been some divergence in their paths based on their lineups.

Also, living in SC, the only sports blab radio we get is about college football and the Braves. They've been pretty chatty about the Braves going after Luis Robert. I hope he hits 17 homeruns this series, because the Sox aren't trading the best Sox position player since Frank Thomas.

If they put Strider on the blocks for him...I'd be listening.

Actually the Braves lost 2 of 3 to the A's and were not swept. That was also on the road.

The Braves have the best record in baseball at 60-29 of which they are 30-15 at home. The Sox are 38-54 and 17-29 on the road. 

The Braves are 20-3 in the last 23 games.
