Kershaw has around 2 losses all year and has won 8 starts in a row with a ton of K's. Gonna take a big game today to beat the Dodgers.

7th-inning Suzuki homered to left center (411 feet), Adams scored.

Sims and Albies are making their debuts tonight, I believe.

westcobbdog · Aug 2, 2017

Both looked good, too, but we still lost.

BornToHuntAndFish · Aug 2, 2017

Now that the distracting MLB trade deadline has passed, it may take the 4th place Braves a week or two to get back to some winning momentum that we've seen from their offense at times this season.

Hope they end this 6-game losing streak soon, but they may get swept at home by the tough hot Dodgers who have 9-game winning streak & have a better chance at a win in the next series against the 2nd place Marlins.

It's a marathon, not a sprint? :huh:

Sims did look good, though his tendency to give up the long ball still concerns me. He had given up 19 this season in Gwinnett... plus the one last night...

SunTrust could be a nightmare for the kid if he doesn't learn to keep his fastball out of the middle of the zone and keep the ball down in general. Dodgers had 6 hits with 2 strikes against him. He will need to figure out how to put batters away, and soon.

Maybe it's time to call Tim Hudson and teach all of these kids the sinker.

Anyone else notice Braves player changes in recent activities?

- ex-Braves grand slam HR hitter & pitcher J. Garcia traded from Twins to Yankees.

- Pitchers Jim Johnson & R.A. Dickey being potentially placed on waivers.

- Brandon Philips being considered for 1st time move to 3rd base or being potentially moved elsewhere, after bringing up Ozzie Albies from triple-A.

MLB trades: Yankees get lefty starter Jaime Garcia from Twins for two prospects

Yankees kept the momentum rolling in a different way acquiring left-handed pitcher Jaime Garcia from the Minnesota Twins for pitching prospects Zack Littell and Dietrich Enns

Rumor Central: Braves place Jim Johnson, R.A. Dickey on waivers?

Braves have already placed right-handers Jim Johnson and R.A. Dickey on revocable waivers

When a player is on waivers, all other teams have 48 hours to submit a claim. Claims are awarded based on which team has the worst record and what league they are in. The team that placed the player on waivers can choose to negotiate a trade with the claim-winning team, pull the player back and keep him or let the player go (in which case, the claiming team takes on his salary). If a player goes unclaimed during that two-day period, he can be traded to any team for the remainder of the season.

Rumor Central: What will Braves do with Brandon Phillips?

manager Brian Snitker has asked Phillips if he'd be willing to play third base

Other options for the Braves include releasing Phillips or finding an August waiver trade partner to take him. Upon Albies' call-up, . . . saw the decision as further indication that the team is ready to move Phillips "as soon as possible."

BornToHuntAndFish · Aug 3, 2017

Nice having the Bravos end their losing streak while also ending Dodgers 9-game winning streak & their MLB record 53-game winning streak after leading at any time in the game. Hope Atlanta can get another win against hot ex-Braves pitcher Alex Wood (12-1) who gave him his 1st loss out on LA turf.

Dodgers fall to Braves, had won 53 straight when leading at any point of game

The last time the Dodgers lost after leading in a game was May 15, when they led 1-0 before losing 8-4 at San Francisco. The Cubs held the previous record, with 44 such games in a row in 1906.

The waivers part is nothing new. Mainly to gauge interest. Andruw Jones was placed on waivers several times. Doesn't guarantee they'll be traded, although they have been trying to move Johnson for a month...

Phillips, Markakis and Adams will likely hit the waiver wire soon as well.

Also traded Sean Rodriguez yesterday and called up Max Fried as well.

westcobbdog · Aug 6, 2017

Sweet game to attend last last. Pretty cool when 40k people started chanting Freddie Freddie and he took the cue and went yard for a 3 run homer. Also, the flashlights on the cell phones doing the chop was pretty cool.

Nice for the Braves to end their long losing streak on Rockies turf, even if the other team helped win with their error.

Ever seen an MLB 3-hour game in 14-minutes?
If not, see below . . .

http://m.braves.mlb.com/news/article/248575698/braves-top-rockies-on-costly-arenado-error/

Markakis homers, Braves top Rox on error

Arenado, who won a Gold Glove in each of his first four seasons, fielded a routine grounder at third base with two outs in the top of the eighth, but first baseman Mark Reynolds couldn't pick the ball out of the dirt on the throw. The ball caromed away from Reynolds, as Brandon Phillips scored the winning run from second to lift the Braves to a 4-3 win over the Rockies.

Braves snapped an 11-game losing streak at Coors Field that dated back to June 11, 2014. Freddie Freeman is the only player who was in the lineup for both of Atlanta's two most recent wins in Denver.

Got blasted last night, we sure need Kemp's bat in the order.
The Rockies pitchers all have easy 95-98 mph gas.

Coenen · Aug 17, 2017

That stat about not having won at Coors since 2014 melted my brain a little.

biggdogg · Aug 17, 2017

Folty's breaking stuff had no movement whatsoever. Left the kid open to the Rox teeing off on his fastball. That was a woodshed moment last night...
