PrintAll business time now. How about a runz thread?
Phillies up 3-2 going bot. 6th.
As much as I hate scoreboard watching, Astros up on the Cards, 2-1.
But just win, and all is fine for another day.

Now, can we get a freaking table setter?
I don’t need speedy to get on base and steal bases…I just want SOMEONE at the top of the line-up to get on base!
My buddy and I just decided that the braves would be set if we could get Matt Kemp, Jose Reyes, and Albert Pujols.

This is still a one-run game. And if there’s anything our offense has done marginally well lately it’s hit solo hrs. We can still tie this up and then win. Our BP just needs to keep it in reach.

That’s why leaving in Diaz was so freaking bizarre. They just pulled the LHP. Unlikely, though possible, that they were going to put in 2 LHP back to back. Plus Heyward can remain in the game for defense and additional PAs.
I suppose if he does lead off
and we go 1-2-3, we could put the pitcher in the 2 spot and take out prado… not a wise move though

We’ve still done everything possible to insure we don’t play in October. Payroll is irrelevant. The point is that we both had our very talented teams on the field and have screwed the proverbial pooch.
Sgt.: Pointed stick? Oh, oh, oh. We want to learn how to defend ourselves against pointed sticks, do we? Getting all high and mighty, eh? Fresh fruit not good enough for you eh? Well I'll tell you something my lad. When you're walking home tonight and some great homicidal maniac comes after you with a bunch of loganberries, don't come crying to me! Now, the passion fruit.
When you spend as much money as the Red Sox and you collapse like this, I’ll say that’s more impressive (depressing) than our collapse.
"Kill my boss?! Do I dare live out the American dream?" - Homer Simpson
I see your point, but if we follow that logic somehow a WS victory would be less meaningful as a result of payroll.
If you want to extend that logic, higher payroll would mean more talent, and the idea would be that the more talented team should do better. If that’s the logic then you must consider that the Red Sox have been scuffling against much better teams than the Braves. The Braves have screwed themselves with sucky teams lately while the Sox have played the Rays and the Yanks. So in that sense the Braves collapse is much worse because you would expect the talent disparity between the Braves and the Marlins/Mets/Nationals would mean more expected wins than the Sox against the Yanks/Orioles/Rays

Well I'll tell you something my lad. When you're walking home tonight and some great homicidal maniac comes after you with a bunch of loganberries, don't come crying to me! Now, the passion fruit.
Higher payroll (usually) does mean more talent. More talented teams (usually) do better.
What’s the problem?
Sure the Red Sox have played against (what one would consider) tougher opponents but the Marlins/Mets/gNats have HUSSTLE and HEART! #Eckstein.

This has become so bad that I’ve started to forget what winning consistently feels like. What I do know has come from scoreboard watching the Cardinals. Something needs to happen soon. We have such talent, that I can’t even believe that Fredi and Parrish are causing all of our worries. Our problems are almost too deep to have such an obvious explanation. While I think they have exacerbated these factors, I think luck and really bad performance (like career bad years for several key pieces, and beyond that RISP futility.
The thing is though that baseball is a sport built in part on balance. Surely the switch has to be flipped right? right?

But this team doesn’t suck this bad. Hardly any team sucks this bad, and most of those teams are supposed to suck and are playing to their talent level. This team is absurdly talented and is really underachieving. Unless they are all broken (and I’m not sure if you can be broken just n a RISP capacity) then they are bound to start playing well.

That is a claim that is made a lot and is never supported with data. Walks and strikeouts are higher in the 8th spot because more pitches are thrown out of the zone. A hitter with a very good batting eye can take advantage of that.
And the point about Prado stands. He’s been worse for the entire season.

St. Louis needed a win at Houston to pull even with two games remaining, but the Cardinals lost 5-4 in 10 innings. With that game still in progress, the Braves began clearing out of the clubhouse, not even checking a score on their phones. All the televisions were switched off.
“This is a tough loss for me,” said Freeman, who came up three times with a runner at second and failed to come through. “The last thing I want to do is watch another ballgame.”

"I don’t really care about that," Jones said./blockquote>
Pretty sure that’s literally what they said.
Don’t get me wrong, this was a crappy game and they have the right to be pissed at their lackluster offensive night, but for the team to throw their hands and say “meh, whatever happens I’ll find out tomorrow.” Something about now wanting to know where you stand… I can’t fathom that.

The point he’s trying to make is they need to take care of their own business. They’re not in a spot where it really matters what the Cardinals do if they just win.
You’re just trying to read what you want into that. Chipper probably hurt his leg badly running hard on the GIDP in the 8th.

I realize Chipper cares. I have nothing but respect for him.

I just feel that something needs to click, to change, to get us moving again, and I was kinda hoping that if they stayed and watched the ’stros pull off a win it might help them rest a little easier so they could come back fighting tomorrow.

If he’s focusing on what other teams are doing, he’s not solely focused upon what his team is doing.
It’s pretty clear he cares about how the Braves play, and that is by far more important. He can’t alter the outcome of the St. Louis game, so what happens there is unimportant.

It should be noted
That the Braves went into play for Game #161 last year in the same spot: 1.0 ahead in the Wild Card with two to go.
I like your style.

gondee's point ...
let’s work with the assumption that somehow the braves pull off making the playoffs.
these back-to-back years of last minute drama in making the playoffs creates excitement (and a great deal of stress and heartburn for some of us – but excitement nonetheless) … if they were to get ousted again in the divisional series do the same rules apply; and by that i mean do fans once again say “what’s the point?”
the future seems bright on a lot of levels but i agree with the point that if you keep presenting resulting failure the college football obsessed south may revert to 80’s figures in attendance. (and yes i know they aren’t good now – but the playoffs last year … people showed up).
thoughts?
Personally, I’m excited for the next several years. I think that as the Phillies starters age and the Braves’ young arms enter their primes we have a really good shot at making a run at a division title rather soon. While this season may end in disappointment, I think that any fans that abandon ship now will be back within 2-3 years.

oh i’m on board for the long-haul … so i’m right there with you. just remember going to empty stadiums once a summer as a kid – then the early 90’s awesomeness – followed by the late 90’s/early 00’s seeming lack of support.
as a kid who grew up as a “tbs-er” in south carolina … it’s always been so hard to understand the city of atlanta’s seeming lack of interest. make sense?
