He's been a gopher ball machine it appears, and the Braves feel his respectable ERA is the product of some unsustainable peripherals.
I wasn't aware of that- Another feather in Cherrington's hat- Atlanta didn't need him tonight. They shutout Brewers 3-0. Doc is elated

Bravo-s left Bryce Wilson off their RS rotation for some reason.

Atlanta doesn't need him, either. Not such a big feather in Ben's cap.

Is the pitching that good this series, or are the hitters that bad? Pinch hit 3 run HR has Braves up in game 3, 3-0. Crew has scored only 2 runs all told.

NL Central did pretty poorly in last seasons format.

Wilson will be around long after Rich Rod is thru bouncing around.

What you are forgetting is that Rich Rod was expected to a major addition and contributor to the Braves bullpen. Wilson is expected to contribute later

I'm trying to remain calm until that fat lady sings.

Smallest market (not sure if revenue, too) team left? The Brew Crew. And, their time on this earth could be short just going by the looks of things.

Is anyone besides UTP thinking what I'm thinking?

Better hope that the Brewers come through:

At 19, they are the only Final 7 team with a payroll below the MLB Mean. Theirs is $97.3m. (Spotrac)

Freddie Freeman with a two-out HR in the eighth off Hader to put the Braves up 5-4.

Interesting they were talking about Hader haven't going over an inning since 2019, and quoted him about how it's an energy thing with him.

Freeman earning that big check tonight.
