Another week rolls by, and no real ground gained by Braves or Mets. We're all just meddling along staying kinda neutral.

There's still a few weeks left but... they're coming and going quickly...

There's no use rebutting a stupid take.

What's stupid about it? Ozzie has clearly been on the decline physically. He's not a particularly fast runner anymore, his range is limited, his arm strength is almost completely gone, and he strikes out a ton. Besides hitting for power, Merrifield is better than him at every facet of the game right now. Love Ozzie, but I can't deny what I've been watching. There is zero chance that Ozzie would have turned those double plays on Trea Turner, for instance. His release isn't quick enough and he doesn't have the arm for it anymore.

He has had a lot of injuries and surgeries over the years and it looks to me like they have caught up to him.

When are we taken off life support? 5 games isn't a crazy. I really don't care if we're going to lose and I'm a huge Braves fan.

+4 on the Mets for the final Wild Card spot. That number is getting a little bigger.

Won my yearly bet with my Phillies friend again. We just needed 1 win from this last 4-game series.. I'll take my $50 again and frick off. Not much else to see this season.

Braves have gotta make a move and take 3/3 this series as they start the weekend series with the Dodgers starting friday.

Mets and Phillies are both on heaters right now, need them to slow down.

I'm guessing Whit Merrifield is a rental.

He sounds like an actor playing a professional baseball player which resembles half of the Braves lineup right now

Nice of the mets to throw the second game in favor of playing the Brewers, can't say I blame them.

Frustrating season, but watching Sale's resurgence and Schwellenbach's rise were awesome. I think some tweaks are coming to the lineup, but I feel good about the team going forward in general.

Fine with that. I deserved it.
The name calling and assumption I won’t take my medicine fires me up.
