Matt Gelb @mattgelb · 2h It sure feels like the Phillies and Braves are meant to see each other again come October.
“This team scares me as much as any team in the game, honestly,” Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said.

Snitker scares me as much as anything when it comes to the playoffs. It would be really nice to wrap this up on their field tonight. The Faillies don’t scare me, no teams do. Aside from Snitker the only thing that scares me is our pitching. It seems so inconsistent. If we pitch well no one can touch us, if we don’t pitch well anybody can beat us.

David O'Brien @dobrienatl · 10h Eddie Rosario on #Braves' magic number at 2 to clinch 6th straight NL East title: “We’re happy. It feels like we’re anxiously awaiting or anticipating the celebration. I feel very lucky. Ever since I’ve gotten to Atlanta, we’ve done a lot of celebrating. I’m ready for it.”

Sarge and the pen.......those really are our only weaknesses. The defense and base running has lapses, too.

The starting pitchers get wonky sometimes. If the pitching is good we’re gold. Otherwise we just have to score 10+ runs every game.

I'm actually concerned about getting Murphy going. All of our pitching has lapses of goodness, but it's usually a small stretch of bad and then a pretty decent run of good. Murphy however... this guy has been so bad since the AS break that I'm beginning to wonder if he is going to come around.

Murphy however... this guy has been so bad since the AS break that I'm beginning to wonder if he is going to come around. Murphy in July .214/.323/.446/.770
Murphy in August: .236/.391/.455/.846 Murphy in Sept: .188/.350/.188/.538
His platoon mate by contrast:
d'Arnaud July .188/.212/.531/.743
d'Arnaud August: .196/.237/.268/.505 d'Arnaud in Sept: .138/.138/.345/.483
So I'd like to see Murphy play 5 times a week and d'Arnaud maybe twice instead of this idiotic "platoon." Murphy would benefit from the AB's. And speaking idiotic platoons, Pillar is in tonight and Rosario sitting.
Pillar June .267/.267/.400/.667 July .133/.188/.200/.388
Aug .189/.211/.297/.508
Sep .200/.200/.200/.400
Rosario June .325/.404/.711/1.115 July .164/.200/.299/.499 Aug .312/.384/.558/.942 Sep .341/.396/.455/.850
With Rosario being a guy who has proven for his career he can hit lefties, just with less power. Snitwit is the only manager in the world who could be anywhere remotely close to this ignorant, but as I've said all along Pillar will bat against RHP in the playoffs. Oh well. That S.O.B. better not manage us out of the playoffs, or as I've said I'll have to stop posting because I'll be so unbearably harsh on him. I haven't even started getting loosened up yet......

Strider is still learning to pitch, but he’s learning real slow.
