  3. Good win for the Braves after blowing a 4run lead. I am still not convinced this team can make a playoff run. They’re so unpredictable right now

  4. I love Jesse, but I dont want to see him pitch again unless we're up 10 or down at least 10. The magic is over and he's back to being a liability.

  5. Twins did not give up . Made it a game!!
    Schwellenbach pitched well; just not able to put them away. He do I’d show signs of tiring before leaving game. Still, great performance!

  6. DON'T KNOW HOW I MISSED THIS! NOT JESSE'S FAULT! SNIT PUT LEFTY LEE IN FOR 3 PITCHES TO RIGHTY BATTER, THEN PUT RIGHTY JESSE TO PITCH 2 INNINGS TO LEFTY BATTERS! THIS IS STUPID, BEYOND STUPID! THEN ALL RIGHTIES RESTOF GAME! WHY NOT LEFTY BUMMER IN 10TH FOR LEFTY BATTERS?? PIERCE HAS ONE PITCH 90% OF THE TIME ( THEY KNOW THIS!) NOW THE BULLPEN IS USED UP FOR NOT LETTING LEE THROW MORE THAN 3 MEASLY PITCHES!! IF ANYBODY DOESN'T THINK THIS IS ABNORMAL, GET " BASEBALL FOR DUMMIES", I'M SURE AMAZON HAS A COPY! IGLESIAS WAS THE ONLY MOVE THAT WAS SANE! AGAIN, THE BULLPEN IS SHOT OUT FROM ALL OF THE STUPID USAGE!

  7. I want to point out that the Twins second baseman stupidly throwing home to try to get Kelenic instead of throwing out d'Arnaud almost definitely cost them the game. If they make the correct play there the Braves probably get one run, MAYBE two in that inning.
    As an extension of that, if Kelenic scores on Ozuna's double there is no play at home when d'Arnaud grounds out. More importantly though that would have been a tough ball to read. Martin could have caught that ball. He was right there and the ball kinda went down with his body between Kelenic and the ball for a moment so he probably assumed he got it and he went back and tagged up which is why he didn't have time to make it home.
