Expectations for next Braves series
« Topic Start: August 06, 2014, 04:34:51 PM »
Seven losses in a row and we can't separate from the Braves by more than 3 games!?
They are probably licking their chops at the thought of making up ground on us this weekend.
Is it too much to ask that we can take 2 out of 3 and win the series? Truthfully, I would be content to win 1 game, avoid the sweep and lose only 1 game to them in the standings.

If a pitch leaves Strasburgs hand at 95 mph and Freddy Freeman hits it with a bat speed of 101 mph at an upward trajectory, how many runs does it count for his team?

Dear Santa,

After the win tomorrow, give us a sweep over the Barves.    It would really help all my pals at WNFF.

Your friend,

Stras
Roark
Gio

Hmm. Ok I'd say no sweep. Gio has been shaky.

I think we win the series. Have a feeling Stras will pitch a gem.

I would have felt 50/50 if Strasburg and Gio weren't both going against them. I don't think Roark's outing against Baltimore was a sign of things to come, but if it is, we're going to cement ourselves as the Barves' fleshlight this season.

IIRC Gio pitched a gem on Sunday Night Baseball in Atlanta in 2012. He'll do the same again this time.

We'll win 2/3, probably losing Roark's start. I think he's due to regress a bit while Stras and Gio are due some wins.
