Lance 228 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 stage is pretty much set for Sept to see if the Braves can manage to blow a huge lead OR go one and done in the playoffs. I think they have a legit shot at winning the series this year, but there are some other teams that are red hot right now in the AL and I'm shocked at how good the Dodgers have played over the past 50 or so games...going to be an interesting October.

No chance whatsoever the Braves blow the lead. Plus, if Atlanta can stay ahead of the Dodgers, they wouldn't meet until the NLCS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1inStripes 932 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 If the Braves win one game with their series against the Cards, they will have won a the season series with what looks to be the 4 other teams who will make the NL playoffs (Reds, Cards, Pirates & Dodgers).

The Braves have also swept 3 of those 4 teams (Cards, Pirates and Dodgers). To be fair, we swept the Dodgers in May before they started getting hot, but still not bad.

I remember watching the Braves vs. Dodgers in 1983 i think it was...came up short on that one. I thought we could win it all that year. Murphy was the man.

Canes00 434 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Heyward was hit in the side of the face with a pitch today and went down he did walk off the field but it didnt look good without Heyward come October the braves most likely will be done in the division series again it seems like every year here lately when the braves make the playoffs they have key players injured Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canes00 434 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Heyward fractured his right jaw when he was hit by the pitch this afternoon. Likely out 4-6 weeks. from Mark Bowman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluefield_Rules 46 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 The Heyward injury is another in a long line this year, but might be the most significant. ATL has no one to replace the intangibles he brings to the field; and his hitting had really picked up since moving to lead-off. The Braves postseason success is going to ride squarely on his ability to comeback from this injury in October. And not to burst anyone's bubble, but the playoffs are not yet a guarantee despite where things stand today. Bluefield_Rules 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1inStripes 932 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Heyward cleared to start shagging flys and hitting off a tee. Hope he can get back for a few games before the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance 228 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Braves are attempting the annual September collapse lol....lost 4 straight and the magic number has been stuck on 9 for days. Luckily i don't think they can screw it up this year....October might be another story though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
