The Dodgers have moved to just 3.5 games back (and they're playing the Tigers). If Snit and the Braves don't quit playing stupid games they may be on the outside looking in for home field advantage. The Orioles are just 2 game back for best record now.

The Braves announced that right-hander Jesse Chavez has been reinstated from the 60-day injured list, with left-hander Lucas Luetge designated for assignment in a corresponding move. -per MLBTradeRumors

The Orioles are just 2 game back for best record now. I'm a firm believer in baseball and baseball players/teams needing consistent routines, and Snit admitted those routines were interrupted in game 1 of this losing streak. The pre-game routine was changed. They allowed Elder to tinker with his normal pitch choice routine just to "try something out", and then they left Hand in when they normally wouldn't have because Snit "wanted to see how he handled it". Bad juju man... Time to sacrifice a chicken to Jobu

I’ve also heard Snit mention, more than once, in PG pressers that they’re giving Murphy some rest… honestly, I think that’s the problem ..he needs to play (most everyday) It was too soon to focus on PS plans and other scenarios Let’s win …TONIGHT!!

You play every day for 6 months, then have to sit and wait. This ain't football.

The big advantage to the bye is getting your starting pitching lined up exactly as you want, and that can be a series decider. Unless you get screwed and lose two of your top three starters like we did at playoff time last year.
d'Arnaud is OPSing under .500 for August and September.
I know Murphy has been struggling for at least six weeks, but you still have to go with him.
Consider that Murphy has a 135 wRC+ and a 4.3 WAR, and d'Arnaud has an 84 wRC+ and 0.7 WAR. Those are not two interchangeable players who should rotate every other day. Unless the managering guy ate a lot of lead paint chips when he was a kid. Then I have to listen John Smoltz claim that Snitker should be the manager of the year.

Gaudin just said Pillar is a guy who "when he gets his chances he takes advantage of them." This about a guy with a .450 OPS over the last 3+ months and a career .700 OPS.
I like that the guy plays hard, I always admire that, but how about we just be honest about his actual lack of ability and performance.
