Keuchel was straight dealing. Braves took a 4-0 lead into the top of the 8th. Luke gas can Jackson give up a 3 run jack to Zimmerman. Braves closed it 4-3

Go Braves! I wish some of their swagger and confidence could be transferred over to the Gamecock football team...

They are also quite talented. It’s a little easier to have a swagger with that lineup. Sigh...

Good news for a change. Thanks for the update I am still without power.

Pop the bubbly. Division is over. Only 3.5 back of the Dodgers and 4 of the Yankees for the best record in MLB. Don’t know if it’s a goal but they could run these teams down by the end. Don’t think they do though. I think we win the division in 2 weeks and take the foot off the pedal and rest up for the playoffs.

If they can get production from leftfield and shortstop I like their chances to go deep in the playoffs.

I just don't trust the bullpen. Fried, Soroko,and Keuchel are dealing bigtime. The everyday lineup is awesome. They'll go as far as the relief pitching takes them.

The addition of Shane Green, Mark Melancon, and Chris Martin have shored that problem up a lot. IMO, the key is for the SPs to keep rolling.

I pretty much agree. But why the hell does Snitker keep sending Gas Can Jackson to the mound?
