Ties the Braves who were the most recent at 72 in a row.

Pretty sure the Astros swept the Braves in April? Nevermind, I see you said the most recent streak.

Every night it's a new guy stepping up. Perez should have been out of that inning 1-2-3, but when things didn't go that way, he didn't panic. 

Always nice to still win on a blown save opportunity.

We could have a bat, bring up Kjerstad?

The most unbelievable thing is Baker gets the win.

Gunnar is our best SS in the field.  Best defense is Urias at 3B, Gunnar at SS, and Westburg at second.

Sorry, I didn’t word that correctly. I had posted about it before in different topics.

The most recent team was the 2003-2005 Braves that went 72 series in a row before. Being swept. We are now at 72.

I think he is, more or less.

Certainly in the conversation.

Let me know when he dives and has a catchable flyball hit him in the head.

But remember Mateo and McCann were the heroes in that 5 run inning against Shane McClanahan.  We'll likely be seeing them the rest of the year against lefties.  

It helps that Randy misplayed that shot by Mateo but to his credit he did smoke it for an important double.

Let's face reality. Mateo is only asked to stick this game out so they didn't have to burn the DH moving Gunner out there. I think with the typical lineup he's pulled and Gunner takes SS with someone moving to 3B.

The most recent, it's not an active streak.

No worries, I realized that and edited my post.

I still am not happy about the pitch calling. Too predictable with regard to spots with professional hitters. And too often when we have a guy who has struggled do they try to get too cute.

I don't think he has enough range for that to happen to him.

He still has decent stuff. He just needs a confidence boost.
