Second time through the order not going well

Yeesh, Kyle

[soccer10k]

Welp I’m done for the day. Will check back later.

[Cubs420psd]

Braves are just too good.

 

 

[Cubs420psd]

What a team this Braves squad is.

Not a single guy has an OPS under the league average.

 

Mad jealous.

[s2obed]

That escalated quickly. It was looking to be a pitcher’s duel. 

[Derwood]

Perfect first time through, then gets batted around in the 4th

[Rcal10]

Well we have 2 more tries. Hope we get 1 for sure.

[s2obed]

I wish Atl would’ve done the Bryant for Riley trade. 

[WhyCantWeWin]

The rotation has been pretty ass as of late. 

[Rex Buckingham]

Unbelievable that he was so good to start and then so bad the next time through. They were hitting rockets left and right, no cheapies

[Derwood]

[Michael Busch Light]

Yikes.  

[UMFan83]

Don’t worry guys we have our ace TBD on the mound tomorrow 

[CubinNY]

Yikes, I had a business meeting and just checked back in. I need the Old Man Simpson meme. 

[Transmogrified Tiger]

So it's definitely gonna be Assad tomorrow

Beating up on bad teams and teams with horrible starting pitching for 3 weeks was fun, but we aren’t in the same league with the Braves. I had a feeling they were going to humble us real quick. Their offense rakes 1-9 and when they really turn it on, my god they are unstoppable. 

[CubinNY]

No, no-no

Nobody is in the same league with the Braves this year.

Zach now using the Boog tag line "that's that" at the end of the inning.

The Braves are the model for how a team should be run. They seem to have a constant pipeline of home-grown talent coming in. They somehow manage to keep their stars on ridiculously team friendly deals. 

[Rcal10]

I have to think the Cubs plan on giving Wesnecki as many inning as he can pitch. Maybe as many as 70 pitches. So that tells me they will send him down after the game to get a fresh arm. Any ideas whi that could be? Who is up to start either today or tomorrow? Or will they just get a pen arm. They will need someone to piggyback Assad.

The somehow is the part that needs to be figured out.  I have no idea how pretty much all of their players signed long term mostly under market extensions to play in some generic ballpark in a suburb of Atlanta for the majority of their careers.
