[gobravez]

FLA and MIL 0-0 in the 6th...

WAS beating CHC 3-2 in the 8th

PHI beating PIT 6-5 in the 8th

[DRbravesfan29]

I thought it was his throwing hand.

Boyer! Time to see some strikeouts.

Right index finger...i saw!!!

[JCStone7]

Nevermind, I'm an idiot, it's the throwing hand.

[cjones1999]

58 foot curve....

[BF91]

I thought it was his throwing hand.

Boyer! Time to see some strikeouts.

According to the Braves official site, it was indeed his throwing hand.

[DRbravesfan29]

Cmon Boyer get the last one!!

[gobravez]

I thought it was his bottom hand on the bat???

no it was the top.... when you square to bunt, you slide your top hand up and leave your bottom hand on the handle...

[JCStone7]

I know, I corrected myself somewhere in this thread :)

[DRbravesfan29]

NICE BOYER!!!!!!!! K!

[GrandMasterB]

Blaine Boyer hates offense.

[cjones1999]

K!

[gobravez]

I know, I corrected myself somewhere in this thread :)

ahh, I see that now. w00t!

[Nasadega]

Great inning by Blaine, WTG man!

[uofafan]

Boyer looked sharp.

[josephw000]

[gobravez]

And then stubbed his toe on the baseline while walking off the field.

:D

[josephw000]

Long as he's back tomorrow. At first I thought they threw at him just from reading it on ESPN so look forward to seeing him back tomorrow. Scared me to possibly see a daily dose of Prado out there.....

[josephw000]

And then stubbed his toe on the baseline while walking off the field.

:D


Aw dude, not cool :(

[Chuck61686]

Man, Boyer just went right throw those hitters 1-2-3...he's like a combination of Stanton, Biliecki, Remlinger, Cruz and Seanez...you all remember these guys?

[JCStone7]

Yup, and they all went elsewhere and had a big choke-burger

[cjones1999]

Do something positive Diaz!

[josephw000]

Yup, and they all went elsewhere and had a big choke-burger

Yah nice job on the jinx buddy.....

[cjones1999]

C'mon Geb

[SamtheBravesFan]

Yes, I do. Every single one of them.

[JCStone7]

Yah nice job on the jinx buddy.....

:confused:

[josephw000]

Lord Diaz genuinely cannot hit a rightie this year

[cjones1999]

is it just me or does anyone else think Manny Ramirez needs a new helmet?

[JCStone7]

Hey hey Luben!

[josephw000]

:confused:

He compared him to choke artists....

[JCStone7]

is it just me or does anyone else think Manny Ramirez needs a new helmet attitude?

:nod:

[josephw000]

Gregor been on 5 times tonight?

[cjones1999]

:nod:
That too. But his helmet is just gross.

[Chuck61686]

Yup, and they all went elsewhere and had a big choke-burger

No kidding, that's right.
Except I'd LOVE to take Juan Cruz back right now! He had an awesome '04 for us and he's doing fabulous this year. Too bad he plays for the DBacks and they won't trade him since they're a contender.

[GrandMasterB]

That too. But his helmet is just gross.

Someone's gotta carry the Craig Biggio look on. :nod:

[JCStone7]

That too. But his helmet is just gross.

It's like John Wetteland's hat, sometimes you gotta throw some stuff in the wash.

[MTDrunk]

That too. But his helmet is just gross.

He does it on purpose. Just like Vlad.

[cjones1999]

Tch. Oh well. AcostaRoyce!

[BF91]

No kidding, that's right.

Although that division is deep, somebody has to fall off the wagon by the deadline, leaving the trade possibilities open. Depending on their team's success I've heard that a number of people could become available.

[uofafan]

Throw strikes Ring

[GrandMasterB]

Interesting move to go with Ring to start the inning here.

[Chuck61686]

He compared him to choke artists....

Wait wait, no, that wasn't the intent of my post.

Bielicki ('96), Seanez ('99 and '00), Cruz ('04) and Remlinger ('99-'02) all had some fabulous years as set-up men.

[DRbravesfan29]

Nice Ring!!! K!

[JCStone7]

:woot: Royce!

[GrandMasterB]

And that, folks, is why we don't want Delgado playing first in Atlanta. Nice job, Royce.

[cjones1999]

K!

[DRbravesfan29]

Cmon Acosta...get the last two!!!

[JCStone7]

Let's go Manny!

[josephw000]

Royce with sum Cheddah! Accosta for the S? I like to think so :)

[orlandobrave]

Interesting move to go with Ring to start the inning here.
Yes. I like this move.....not knocking down Bobby but you wouldn't see this move if he were managing the game most likely.

[cjones1999]

Alright, get 'em Acosta!

[uofafan]

Two up two down Acosta

[josephw000]

Or no save....but atleast he can hold em down!

[DRbravesfan29]

Cmon Acosta....Finish it!!!

[JCStone7]

w00t, get this scrub

[GrandMasterB]

Yes. I like this move.....not knocking down Bobby but you wouldn't see this move if he were managing the game most likely.

You never know. He could be standing in the dugout wearing glasses and a fake moustache. :D

[DRbravesfan29]

Braves Win....Braves Win....:woot::beer::beer: SWEETTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!! JAIR WITH THE W!

[uofafan]

Ball game

[JCStone7]

:woot: atta boy Jair!!!

[GrandMasterB]

Braves win! Where's dogmanx?

[MTDrunk]

You never know. He could be standing in the dugout wearing glasses and a fake moustache. :D

He has been known to do that.

[uofafan]

Great win!!!

[josephw000]

Ball game, give it to this pitching staff tonight, we were walking hte world but the Muts couldn't capitalize...

[cjones1999]

Woo! Good win!

[dogmanx23]

WOOT BRAVES WIN!!!!!!!!!!!

<<<<< Gives everyone high fives good game see ya tomorrow GO BRAVES!

[josephw000]

Did Bobby get tossed?

[Chuck61686]

BRAVES WIN!!

3-0 vs. the Mets this year!!

Oh, the sounds of silence at Shea

[BF91]

Cheers boys and girls!

[josephw000]

10 am tomorrow, I should get that game I think.....

[cjones1999]

WOOT BRAVES WIN!!!!!!!!!!!

<<<<< Gives everyone high fives good game see ya tomorrow GO BRAVES!
Wouldn't be a win without a high five from dogmanx.

[DRbravesfan29]

Did Bobby get tossed?

Yep..in the 3rd...

[orlandobrave]

Maybe already said tonight but love the continued look of both Blanco and Jair tonight. JJ has shown nothing but phenomenal composure and skill so far this season and gave us yet another quality start. This kid is something special and hopefully for years to come. Great start to this series.

[gobravez]

w00t!

[BF91]

Ok Beer's members, who's hosting the afterparty?

[gobravez]

WOOT BRAVES WIN!!!!!!!!!!!

<<<<< Gives everyone high fives good game see ya tomorrow GO BRAVES!


**HIGH FIVE** YES!!! w00t!

Ok Beer's members, who's hosting the afterparty?

We'll have it at stoney's....afterall, he is paying! :)

[Chop33]

BRAVES WIN! :D (I'm late)

:chop::chop:

a sweep would be nice :D

[LOL_Braves]

Great game tonight. Good to see Jurrjens regain his composure and have a very solid night after that shaky inning. Also nice to see Cox helping out in the Umpire Fantasy League, as usual.

Most of all, shout-out to all the drunk Braves fans who slugged and gave beer showers to the Mets fans, according to WFAN.

[josephw000]

Of Jairs 5 starts hes got a decision in all of them, and I believe all of them were Quality Starts too right? Kid is rockin....

[BravesFan7689]

Great win for the Braves. Jurrjens had a great outing minus that 3rd inning, but that seemed to be more a case of base calls by the ump to me. Kelly had a great game and look forward to Hudson's outing tomorrow.

[MPH]

**HIGH FIVE** YES!!! w00t!



We'll have it at stoney's....afterall, he is paying! :)
Yeah, and he's the only one old enough to buy beer .. .

[Chop33]

from espn:

Jurrjens struggles, but sparks Braves' win with bat (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=280425121)

:rolleyes:

If that's struggling, I hope he struggles every time out.

[vnodnarb]

Nice win, let's take a couple more now and get some games between us and .500.

[gobravez]

If thats' struggling, I hope he struggles every time out.


Just imagine how he will be when he's on... 9 IP, 0 ER, 0 BB, 27 k's...

[SamtheBravesFan]

Just imagine how he will be when he's on... 9 IP, 0 ER, 0 BB, 27 k's...

Sweeeeeeeeet.

[lavell12]

When all healthy who is the number 3 Jurrjens or Glavine?

I'm going with Jurrjens.

[vnodnarb]

As good as Jair has been let's give a couple more months before we get too excited.

[McCarroll21]

The four walks are uncharacteristic for Jair, but I was proud to see that he bounced back and was able to go out there and finish his job.

Proud to see the offense picked Jair up after letting Pelfrey off the hook in the first inning.

Good win all around. Sucks we're going to be without Yunel for a little bit but at least it's not broken or anything. The good part about that is that Prado is swinging the bat well enough to step in without too much of a drop off.

Can't say enough about Blanco and the job he's done filling in. Wouldn't be surprised to see him start in LF tomorrow against Maine to give us another lefty in the lineup.

[Preacher]

As good as Jair has been let's give a couple more months before we get too excited.


Agreed.

[McCarroll21]

As good as Jair has been let's give a couple more months before we get too excited.
I second this as well. There's no need to anoint him as the third starter on this team. He may be more talented than Glavine right now, but don't forget about what Glavine brings to the table. He brings consistency to the middle of the rotation. Jair has been awesome, but there's a reason why Tommy was brought back to this team.

He's a great bridge from the "sure thing" in Huddy and Smoltz to the "good enough to win, but not sure" with Jurrjens, Hampton, James, etc.

[brnt247]

Going to see Hudson today =D

Braves vs. Mets last season when I was in attendance at Shea. 4-1

Lets hope they perform as well in front of me this season.

I hope they preform better this season. ;)

Why do they always release the lineups so late in New York?

and it appears that Escobar will miss atleast the rest of this series.
