So it's cliche. Sue me.
Just a small town girl
Livin’ in a lonely world
She took the midnight train
Goin’ anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train
Goin’ anywhere
A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching
In the night
Streetlights, people
Livin’ just to find emotion
Hidin’, somewhere in the night
Workin’ hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin’ anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win
Some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching
In the night
Streetlights, people
Livin’ just to find emotion
Hidin’, somewhere in the night
[Instrumental Interlude]
Don’t stop believin’
Hold on to the feelin’
Streetlights, people
Don’t stop believin’
Hold on

How long will Bobby give Esco to get his sh!t together before we see Infante again? I’m figuring at least a week or two.

Why break up the chemistry of the team that was winning?
But then again, hindsight and being disappointed about our performance may have something to do with that opinion.

hmm tough decision there. The thing is Escobar is our starting SS and he is capable of playing to the level that Infante did in his absence. now if he doesnt do that over a couple of weeks then by all means bring Infante back in

I actually do. I think with a guy on 3rd he would have been more patient than 1 pitch.
I just think Infante has proven over the last several games he can help us win – but I completely understand if Yunel is healthy Bobby would put him back in.
"Curve: The loveliest distance between two points." ~ Mae West
Well his wOBA (.337) is only slighty better than league average and that’s with an unsustaniable .368 BABIP.
I like Infante and he did a good job filling in, but Yunel is the superior player.
With crappy overpaid vets of course!

I agree.
Omar has been way too hot to pull out of the lineup. With the way the offense was struggling, I just can’t imagine how you can sit a guy who was one of the key’s getting things rolling.

Bobby treats relievers that are new to him like dirt. You have to be darn near perfect to get regular outings.
He ran Bennett out there till the team got rid of him

poor Bennett…that guy got dropped into the worst situations continuously

Heyward is pretty good

Yall think we could get Soriano back from the Rays for Chavez? That would be nice.
I’d take a broken maple bat back if they would just take Chavez

They Are Stil My Braves
You don’t win every night. Instead of this Chavez silliness, they should have let the kid stay in. He was just getting settled.
Okay, that's the strategy...
…. make them think they have a lead so large that even THAT bullpen can’t blow it.
