Murphy coming back swinging like this is a huge lift.

Let's see:
a) watch the Braves
b) drink heavily and watch the Braves
c) drink heavily and don't watch the Braves

I'm going with.....

 

[BamaNation]

Riley w/ a 2R HR in top 3rd!

Braves 4
Jays 0

Riley now 13/28 in last few games.

 

[BamaNation]

Albies doubles on a run! 5-0

 

[BamaNation]

Then Riley CRUSHED it to center for a 3R HR!!! (444 feet)

8-0

still no outs in 5th

 

[selmaborntidefan]

Are the Jays this bad or are we finding a little?

 

[DzynKingRTR]

Are the Jays this bad or are we finding a little?

yes?

 

[BamaNation]

Braves win 8-4

 

[BhamToTexas]

Holmes had a good game. It got a little messy late but we only used 2 pitchers.

 

[selmaborntidefan]

Riley with another bomb as the Braves take a lead in the first.

That was a really good St Louis team with some lethal speed at the top of the order with Coleman and McGee.

They had a lot of team speed… over 300 SBs that year.

They also hit only 87 home runs that year.

In fact, their homer totals were insane:
1979 - 100
1980 - 101
1981 - 50 (strike shortened season)
1982 - 67 (that's fewer than McGwire hit just 16 seasons later all by himself - in the same stadium)
1983 - 83
1984 - 75
1985 - 87
1986 - 58
1987 - 94 (this was the year it appears something was done with the ball all across the sport)
1988 - 71
1989 - 73
1990 - 73
1991 - 68

In every season after 1981, the Cardinals were last in MLB in homers. Every. Single. Year.

I feel like My Cousin Vinny - "now there's a........surprise......"

Not really. One bad inning. We out hit them. We scored 3 runs on 8 hits and they got 6 runs on 6 hits. Pretty unlucky.

Since starting 0-7, the Braves have gone W-L-W-L-W-L-W-L-W-L. They have not won multiple games in a row this year.

Bot 5, Schwelly decides to through a number of meat balls right down the freaking middle and they crushed them all over the ballpark. Snit sits on his hands the whole time and never moves. Not even a single mound visit to try and calm him down. He's had that Joe Biden during the debate look all night. Someone wake up Snit, do something!

I cannot wait until the end of the season and he is gone!

 

[BhamToTexas]

Strider laboring. He won’t make it long with this pitch count.

 

[BhamToTexas]

Blue did Riley no favors with that AB. Could have been runs.

 

[BhamToTexas]

Ump is calling a terrible game.

 

[CrimsonNagus]

19 strikeouts by Braves batters today.

That new hitting coach should be fired immediately. He's not worth a penny of what they are paying him.

Agreed. Even if it's not his fault. Something has to change ASAP.
