Overall, a great weekend.
10 out of 12, that is the run we were waiting for
I was afraid at one time we would get on another kind of run - the bad kind but we got on the good run. And Braves in good shape now best they have been this yr

Will is Snitker's man. It is what it is but I am happy with the sweep. I prefer Rich Rod but - the man in charge has to figure that out Matzek has given up 4 hits and no runs in his last 15 innings.
He's a clear cut choice right now, but Smith will remain as the closer. He got lucky on that last ball, If that goes into the corner both runners score and we lose.
Hey, I have no beef with Matzek taking that role - but our enabler in chief has appointed his man. He parlayed two good yrs in SF to a contract we overpaid and it is what it is. Could have gotten real bad though. Riley deserves the save but you know -----------

Smith? Oh yeah... that's why he's our closer. I thought he was just fantastic today after some really bad bounces in his last couple of appearances. He came in.. was totally sharp, and just shut them right down just like a closer guy should.

7-4 Reds with 2nd and 3rd, 2 outs. Bottom 8th. Reds bullpen trying to imitate the Braves and blow it!

Bullpen 2 runs in 5 innings is not bad but a lot of stress in there too.

I just re-watched that Riley play. Amazing! Smith is HORRIBLE and needs to be replaced as closer immediately!

Riley has turned the corner I believe. Good hitter with power and plays very good, sometimes great, defense. Maybe he strikes out a tad too much but I really have no complaints considering his production and defense. Strikeouts are pretty common these days but 30+ HR and 100 rbi are good with me. A lot of teams would love to have him.

People are all up in arms and in reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee mode about that right. Now. But the sad thing is, what you said, sounds EXACTLY like something Snitwit would say. Like hes so utterly predictable.

Bullpen 2 runs in 5 innings is not bad but a lot of stress in there too. mostly induced by Chavez and Smith. I'll give Chavez a slide since he had been rather excellent prior to the previous 2 outings, surprisingly excellent before that actually. But Smith gets no freebie. Needs to be bumped to 7th inning guy.

That big kid at 3rd might make it yet. He strikes out sometimes, though. Too much, ya think?

The Marlins scare me because of their pitching. Also, they have a couple of young players that are getting better and better. Just hope Jackson doesn't bite us in this series. That would be an in your face moment. I'd be happy with 2 out of 3.
