@57 – I agree fully. We need to see if Lee can right the ship and a 4 run lead seems like a good opportunity. Of course, a 3 run homer changes the plan. I still can’t believe how good Chavez continues to be for us.

I didn’t watch the game, but just looking at the box score and recap, I don’t have a problem with sending Wright out for the fifth after striking out the side in the 4th, and I don’t have much of a problem with making Lee the first man out of the pen when the pitcher got knocked out in the 5th — if he can’t retire Oakland Athletics in the 5th inning, there’s no room for him on the roster, which means he’s now AA’s problem. Snit can’t afford to have men in the pen who are too crappy to deploy.

I feel differently about bringing him in when it’s late and close. That’s where I criticize Snit, too.

Whew, that was much harder than it should’ve been. Hopefully Wright shakes that off and is ok for his next start. Good work from the Chavez and the back-end of the bullpen tonight.

I agree, Lee looks cooked, sadly. He won’t make the post-season roster.

Oh, and I’m sure New York sports radio is dealing in calm rational analysis as we sit tied in first! That would be a treat to listen to now.

Win is a win. First place! Go Braves.

First place… yes. For the moment, we’ve run them down.

Tomorrow, we play at 3:35 pm (w/ Strider) & the Mets have a day/night DH — 12:35 & 6:35 w/ deGrom going in Game 2.

One team will be alone in first by the end of tomorrow night.

Stupid dumb idiot Snitker can’t manage a bullpen. Braves are in first place in September. What a dummy. Defending champs. Fire Snitker. First place tie with big-spending New York. DFA Jansen, Lee, and anyone else who dares give up a run. Third-best record in the majors. Idiot dummy!

For all the crappy pitching tonight, Wright leading off the 5th with walk , HBP, HBP kinda takes the cake. The worst pitcher would not do that. I thought Lee was on his way to limiting the damage until the HR (with two outs). Chavez is a wonder. He effectively stopped the bleeding and changed the game into a great bullpen performance for the Braves. I can’t figure why he doesn’t do the same for other teams unless i’s the way Snit uses him. Maybe Snitker knows something.

I can’t believe a game where the Braves scored 10 runs could be so close.

Whew. A win does not have to be pretty.
Plenty of good to be taken firm the game.
Khachanov agrees if he wins.. The crazy Aussie Kyrgios if he wins.
Good night sports fans.
