Its also messing with Bo,s confidence in general.
This move could be a huge one if they did it


I think if they do that, it'll happen next season, not this close to the playoffs.


Another stupid decision by them,if they do that.

The Braves were 31-37 last year vs above .500 teams and won the World Series. The 2019 nationals were 48-48. 2014 Giants were 27-31. 2011 Cardinals were 30-30. 2010 Giants were 33-41. 2008 Phillies were 43-46. 2006 Cardinals were 21-26. 2002 Angels were 38-42. 2001 D-Backs were 42-43. 2000 Yankees were 42-43. Hell, the 93 Jays were even below .500 vs above .500 teams.

Completely irrelevant stat.

I'm not a stats guy in the slightest but I hear the point. Make the playoffs and anything can happen..whose playing the best baseball at the time... I just don't see a team here who can execute at the highest level in the games biggest moments against the league's best. Would love to be proven wrong.

It’s getting clearer that this team needs a defensive upgrade at SS next year.

Error leads to homer, rinse, repeat.

Teoscar needs to be on the bench for a week after that lazy play. And if he can’t run better than that, he shouldn’t be playing anyway.

Teo deserves to be on the bench for that. Siddal was as annoyed/mad as ive ever seen him. Just run hard and slide and we score.

Can't use the foot again as an excuse for Teo being braindead.

Like he didn't slide at all he makes these lazy plays and they're so annoying. That ball off the wall Friday, the triple he gifted Reese on Thursday and now this idk man. Those plays aren't poor execution it's poor effort.

I hate watching Danny behind the plate. His framing sucks and his bat isn't worth it to me anymore.

He just thought play would be to first so he didn’t run. It’s a joke he’s still in this game and reflects really poorly on the field manager.

Unfortunately Jansen's not allowed to sit on the plate where the ball was accurately thrown. Instead he's forced to field it off his body on a short hop with a catcher's mitt....
