[Moylan #58]

Diaz in front of Kotsay??

[Chief Knockahoma]

awwwww buddies! Braves and Pads!

[Alighieriu]

Sweet. This will be my first full game with you guys.

C'mon Huddy, let's see a repeat.

[PhantomsCV]

LET'S GO BRAVOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chopin_Mets]

Diaz in front of Kotsay??

Diaz: .462 vs leftys

Kotsay: .167 vs leftys

[lavell12]

lets go boys, keep up the great play.

[DRbravesfan29]

Lets GO Braves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bravesflag1: :chop:

[Chop33]

has Kotsay ever hit lefties good?

maybe we should platoon diaz and kotsay in left and let blanco play center while he's hot :eek:

[McCarroll21]

Kotsay's splits are virtually identical against righties/lefites in his career.

[Chopin_Mets]

has Kotsay ever hit lefties good?

maybe we should platoon diaz and kotsay in left and let blanco play center while he's hot :eek:

I thought about that...but Kotsay has proven to be pretty good defensively. Blanco is only hitting .222 against leftys. I'll Take Kotsay's .167 with his glove over Blanco's .222 (2-9). I'm not saying Blanco stinks it up out there, he's just not as good, in my opinion, as Kotsay with the leather.

[GrandMasterB]

Alright, Huddy, I expect another shutout! The Padres' offense is going even worse than the Reds' was.

[McCarroll21]

The difference right now with Kotsay is that his BAbip against righties is .426 and his BAbip against lefties is .184. Eventually those will level off to his career average (.304 against righties, .297 against lefties) and the splits will even out.

[BF91]

Ok, time for a little update for you rumor junkies out there. Ben Broussard is expected to be released in a week's time, Freddy Garcia will throw off the hill in a week or two, the Brew Crew won't eat any of Turnbow's salary is anyone wants to trade for him, and oh yeah, we're not expected to resign Tex.

GO BRAVOS!!!!!

[Chopin_Mets]

I heard a rumor about Chipper being delt to the Reds for Griffey...



and the entire city of Cincinnati.

[Chief Knockahoma]

I heard a rumor about Chipper being delt to the Reds for Griffey...



and the entire city of Cincinnati.

ugh...i don't want The Queen City down here!

[GrandMasterB]

I heard a rumor about Chipper being delt to the Reds for Griffey...



and the entire city of Cincinnati.

Hopefully, we would let them keep the mayor.

[gobravez]

/me says go braves!

hey why doesn't the /me thing work anymore. :(

[Chop33]

Kotsay's splits are virtually identical against righties/lefites in his career.

well scratch that then

[Moylan #58]

Diaz: .462 vs leftys

Kotsay: .167 vs leftys
Oh, gotcha

Go Braves!
:beer:

[jones2510]

Lets go braves!!


:bravesflag2::chop:

[731BravesFan]

i'm so sick of hearing about the tex situation.. just be happy we have him right now lol

[Alighieriu]

i'm so sick of hearing about the tex situation.. just be happy we have him right now lol

Just don't think about it.
In my head, he's a lifetime Brave right now. That won't change till he's gone or we're out of the division race and Salty has 30 HR.

[brnt247]

Just come to realize that he won't be here next year. If by some chance he does end up still with the Braves, then it's a bonus.

[Moylan #58]

I'm not coming attached to Tex, unless we re-sign him.

[brnt247]

Cormier serves up a walk off, didnt know if that was posted or not before.

[gobravez]

Wofrada is starting tomorrow?

[lavell12]

Wofrada is starting tomorrow?

automatic win (never mind we lost to Redman already)

[gobravez]

If memory serves me correctly, didn't we hit randy wolf pretty hard last year?

[McCarroll21]

/me says go braves!

hey why doesn't the /me thing work anymore. :(
I didn't like how it was put into the site so I removed it with the upgrade. If I can find a smoother option, I'll get it back in there tonight.

[McCarroll21]

If memory serves me correctly, didn't we hit randy wolf pretty hard last year?
We normally hit Wolf pretty hard.

In 23 games (21 starts), Wolf has a 5.02 ERA in 118.1 innings against the Braves. He has a 4.89 ERA in 73.2 innings at Turner Field.

[gobravez]

We normally hit Wolf pretty hard.

In 23 games (21 starts), Wolf has a 5.02 ERA in 118.1 innings against the Braves.

This is good news! :nod:

[McCarroll21]

And as far as last year goes, 7.56 ERA in 8.1 innings (2 starts).

[crazk829]

LETS GO HUDSON!!!

[jones2510]

lets go hudson

[ATlinVA]

Alright Huddy, lets improve on the 3 hit shutout

[McCarroll21]

Huddy! Do it twice!

[Chief Knockahoma]

let's go Huddy

[Moylan #58]

where are the sand colored jerseys?

[DRbravesfan29]

Per DOB:

MRI and bone scan negative on Soriano, which, of course, is positive (meaning no tears, no stress fractures, etc).
He’ll resume throwing program with peace of mind, for him and organization. No timetable for return

if everything is negative....what in the world is Wrong with his elbow???

[Chief Knockahoma]

that's a nice start!

[GrandMasterB]

That's a good start right there!

[Mctaggart]

good start hudson :)

[McCarroll21]

Wow! If Huddy's going to get that corner all night we may be staring right down the barrel of an awesome performance.

[Alighieriu]

He won't let it rest?

It'd be nice to have that corner all night!

[Alighieriu]

My fantasy team is already recovering from Penny's ridiculousness today..

[McCarroll21]

LOL! this is already a good feeling.

[Mctaggart]

24 Ks :)

[DravenX]

2 Ks to start the game. Very nice start.

[Chief Knockahoma]

love seeing those groundballs!

[jones2510]

nice hudson

[GrandMasterB]

So... that was a good start. How's about we get some early runs and put Huddy on cruise control for the rest of the night. :)

[Chief Knockahoma]

So... that was a good start. How's about we get some early runs and put Huddy on cruise control for the rest of the night. :)

i like it! let's get that idea into production as quickly as possible!

[Mctaggart]

wow MLB tv actually has commercials now

[Mctaggart]

better than reading the same message over and over anyways

[ATlinVA]

Harold Reynolds doing Mlb.tv commercials
sweet

[Chief Knockahoma]

let's go Kelly! get us started right!

[McCarroll21]

Huddy telling everyone we still have an ace even if Smoltz is in the pen.

[GrandMasterB]

He didn't dive for it?

[Chief Knockahoma]

i'm surprised Edmonds didn't dive for it.

let's go Yunel

[Alighieriu]

Edmonds is still enjoyable to watch. I miss the days of him flying all over the place.

[Chief Knockahoma]

do it Larry!

[jones2510]

lets go chipper

[McCarroll21]

He didn't dive for it?
Too old. He dives, he's out for a week.

[Chief Knockahoma]

we're making some nice contact, that's a good sign.

[Chief Knockahoma]

keep it going Huddy

[McCarroll21]

we're making some nice contact, that's a good sign.
I was thinking the same. We hit everything hard and they all jumped on something early, which is unusual from those three. If they're swinging early and hitting them that hard, Wolf is very hittable tonight.

[McCarroll21]

Way to jinx the extra base hit thing Bong.

[GrandMasterB]

Don't worry, Huddy. With Edmonds, Greene and Bard coming up, you can still get out of it.

EDIT: Unless you balk, of course.

[Chief Knockahoma]

Way to jinx the extra base hit thing Bong.

Bong sucks.

i miss Jeff Torborg.

[McCarroll21]

Get the K, Huddy!

[ATlinVA]

We need a K/popout then a Dp

[Chief Knockahoma]

what the hell

[jones2510]

ugh

[ATlinVA]

Wally is pissed he got drilled 29 times last night

[Mctaggart]

booooooooooo

[Chief Knockahoma]

Wally Bell stinks

[McCarroll21]

Can't argue a balk. That was a horrible call though.

[GrandMasterB]

Bobby, Bobby, Bobby!

[Chief Knockahoma]

come on ump!

[jones2510]

are u serious ump

[GrandMasterB]

Calm down, Timmy! Don't need you getting thrown out too.

[ATlinVA]

Inconsistent Umpiring
I hate it

[McCarroll21]

Huddy's feisty tonight!

[Mctaggart]

where the eff was that

[Chief Knockahoma]

the living strike zone returns!

[McCarroll21]

That's fine. Get your double play now and then get out of it.

[Chief Knockahoma]

nice throw Larry.

[McCarroll21]

Ugh! What a horrible inning...

[DravenX]

Umps these days are uwful. I don't care what job they have to do. They suck.

[Mctaggart]

really surprised tex didnt dig that one, looked like he was a little off balance tho

[DravenX]

There goes the double play. Bad throw but Tex should of picked it.

[Chief Knockahoma]

what a damn cluster of an inning so far.

[vnodnarb]

Get it down, Tim.

[Chief Knockahoma]

get the DP Huddy!

[McCarroll21]

really surprised tex didnt dig that one, looked like he was a little off balance tho
Teix probably got caught thinking that Chipper would go to second, like the rest of us did.

[Chief Knockahoma]

thanks 1st base ump!

[Mctaggart]

there we go

[McCarroll21]

Woo! Wolf got down the line pretty quickly. I think that surprised Yunel and Kelly.

Keeping them at one run there shifts momentum back to us.

[mark]

i think chipper's throw caught the lip of the grass where it meets the dirt, and it skidded under his glove, not much tex could've done.

NICE DP!!

[GrandMasterB]

Nice double play! Now, let's score 3-4 runs and forget the top of the inning ever happened.

[vnodnarb]

A lot of pitches but they only got one so we're still in good shape.

[DRbravesfan29]

Cmon Offense lets go!!!!

[Chief Knockahoma]

let's go Mark

[McCarroll21]

Teix has to find himself against lefties. When he does that, our offense will be in great shape.

[Chief Knockahoma]

that's a nice start

[DRbravesfan29]

a walk will do...Cmon Frenchy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GrandMasterB]

Good start. At least get him over, Jeff. No double plays.

[McCarroll21]

Jeff, this is your good opponent. Do some damage before we face some righties again.

[Chief Knockahoma]

good job Jeff.

let's go McCann!

[Mctaggart]

i think chipper's throw caught the lip of the grass where it meets the dirt, and it skidded under his glove, not much tex could've done.

NICE DP!!

ya i'm sure there's a reason he didn't make the play. In a vacuum he makes that play 10/10 times

[GrandMasterB]

Do you hear that? It's the sound of a big inning coming.

[DRbravesfan29]

Cmon Cann!!!!!!!!!

[McCarroll21]

Time to hit that three run homer so I can cover.

[Mctaggart]

:tomahawkchop:

[lavell12]

don't hit on the ground Mac.

[jones2510]

lets go brian

[McCarroll21]

:tomahawkchop:
:chop: = :chop:

[DRbravesfan29]

YES Cann!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cmon Diaz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chief Knockahoma]

alright Matty, time to do some damage!

[McCarroll21]

Big inning coming! Diaz ready to do some damage.

[PhantomsCV]

Back from the Grocery store (mom bribed me with some McDonald's).

I came back and my dad was talking about a balk that Bobby got ejected because of.

What happened??? I'm too lazy to go back and see what you said about it.

w00t! Bases Juiced for Diaz with 0 out.

[GrandMasterB]

Get us on the board, Diaz!

[lavell12]

nice time for a granny

[Chief Knockahoma]

feel free to keep missing Randy

[vnodnarb]

Knock in some runs Matt and Mark.

[Chief Knockahoma]

the strike zone must have moved again.

[dogmanx23]

DO IT MATTY DO IT!!!!!!!

[McCarroll21]

PCV, Huddy tried the fake to third, look at first move and they called a balk on it. I think they said he stepped toward home instead of third. It was a horrible call and Bobby got ejected because by rule, you can't argue a balk call (just get an explanation of why they called it and that's it).

[Chief Knockahoma]

do it Diaz!

[PhantomsCV]

Thanks, my dad tried to explain it, but.... he didn't make one bit of sense.

[McCarroll21]

You decide to go out over the plate against Diaz and you're just helping him.

[Chief Knockahoma]

bleh...

[PhantomsCV]

GOT THE RUN!!!!

moved the runner to third too... but got the double play.

[Chief Knockahoma]

let's go Kots

[McCarroll21]

Blah! No RBI but at least we tied it up. Hopefully Kotsay stays hot and gets us on top

[GrandMasterB]

Ugh. Well, at least a run scored.

[DRbravesfan29]

Meh Matty but we tied it!...Cmon Kotsay!!!!

[Mctaggart]

bahhh

[vnodnarb]

Gah! At least get us the lead, Mark.

[jones2510]

lets go kotsay

[dogmanx23]

at least we tied it now drive in the leading run KOTSAY!

[Chief Knockahoma]

good job Kots!!

[DRbravesfan29]

WOOOOOOOOOOO KOTSAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!

[jones2510]

woot! mark

[Moylan #58]

Kotsay...

[McCarroll21]

Ugh. Well, at least a run scored.
Thankfully we're playing like winners right now so the run scoring takes priority over the double play.

Way to go Kots!

[PhantomsCV]

Just make the lead (at least) two and let's keep it there!!!

[Chief Knockahoma]

Andr-who?

[vnodnarb]

Kots is on fire.

[Mctaggart]

kotttttsssss

[McCarroll21]

Have I told you lately that I like this Mark Kotsay guy?

[Chief Knockahoma]

rip a line drive and make Wally Bell do a little dance to get out of the way Huddy!

[dogmanx23]

KOTSAY! ON FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PhantomsCV]

Have I told you lately that I like this Mark Kotsay guy?

It's been more than 5 seconds, so....






no.

[lavell12]

kotsay is about one hundred times better than i thought.

[GrandMasterB]

I wish I was Mark Kotsay. He's swinging the bat well, playing great defense and oh yeah, he has that wife.

[McCarroll21]

kotsay is about one hundred times better than i thought.
You're seeing the healthy Mark Kotsay.

[DRbravesfan29]

Cmon Huddy mow em down!!

[josephw000]

God Diaz is really blowing this early year.....

[josephw000]

I've always liked Kotsay, hes a solid player. I remember him best in his Marlins uni though.

[PhantomsCV]

kotsay is about one hundred times better than i thought.


Does that show your bad judgment of players or.... is Kotsay just playing well right now?

[PhantomsCV]

That kid needs a new hero...

[Mctaggart]

actually getting giles out tonight

[McCarroll21]

Jair Jurrjens for ROY!

[Chief Knockahoma]

i don't believe that Bong was watching the game, i think he was following along in the Around the Majors thread here on BN

[McCarroll21]

Home plate ump isn't making anyone happy tonight.

[McCarroll21]

Huddy's back in his groove. Time to get some more runs.

[lavell12]

Jair Jurrjens for ROY!


He could really win it but right now he is probably fourth behind the guy from the Reds we beat the other night, Fukodome, and Saito from the Cubs.

[Chief Knockahoma]

there we go Huddy!

and now we're back to the top of the order!

[DRbravesfan29]

Nice Inning Huddy!!!!!!!... Some insurance!!!

[GrandMasterB]

Much better inning. Let's tack on a couple more runs!

[McCarroll21]

Time for 1-2-3 to produce this inning. Last night Chipper didn't get a hit in his first at-bat and homered in his second. So, I guess this means he has to homer.

[GrandMasterB]

He could really win it but right now he is probably fourth behind the guy from the Reds we beat the other night, Fukodome, and Saito from the Cubs.

I'm assuming you mean Volquez? He doesn't qualify as a rookie.

[Chief Knockahoma]

let's go Yunel

[DRbravesfan29]

Cmon Esco!!

[GrandMasterB]

Time for 1-2-3 to produce this inning. Last night Chipper didn't get a hit in his first at-bat and homered in his second. So, I guess this means he has to homer.

Yeah, that .500+ OBP he has at home says he has to at least get on base.

[Chief Knockahoma]

woooooooo!

let's go Larry

[McCarroll21]

Well, there's his RBI. Time for Chipper to cash in.

[GrandMasterB]

Runner at first? The table's set for Chipper. Get it done!

[lavell12]

I'm assuming you mean Volquez? He doesn't qualify as a rookie.

okay than Jair might win if the two Cubs split the vote.

[Chief Knockahoma]

whew that was close.

[McCarroll21]

I can just see Yunel's attitude leading to a fight on the bases one day when he gets spiked at second or tagged too hard.

[Chief Knockahoma]

way to go Larry!

let's go Mark!

[DRbravesfan29]

Woot!!!!! Chipper!!!!! Cmon Tex get them IN!!!!!!!!!!

[GrandMasterB]

Hi, my name is Chipper Jones and I'm better at baseball than you.

[jones2510]

nice chipper

[McCarroll21]

Runner at first? The table's set for Chipper. Get it done!
Hit it too hard.

[Chief Knockahoma]

Hi, my name is Chipper Jones and I'm better at baseball than you. everyone

fixed it for you.

[DRbravesfan29]

Cmon Big Tex earn those 20+ Millions!!

[GrandMasterB]

fixed it for you.

Good thinking, Chief.

[Chief Knockahoma]

woooooooooo! bases juiced up again!

[DRbravesfan29]

Cmon Frenchy!!!!!!!!!!! Cmon!!!!!

[Chief Knockahoma]

well boss, i guess it doesn't matter how nice the contact was in the first inning. he isn't giving us anything to hit!

[jones2510]

lets go jeff

[Chief Knockahoma]

yeah, why would you get a hit there...

[McCarroll21]

Sweet. I walk back into the room to see Andruw kill another rally.

[DRbravesfan29]

UGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! Meh Atta Boy Frenchy!! Good Boy!:mad:

[BF91]

oops, damn slow computer...........

[Mctaggart]

sob

[charpotsss]

how disappointing.

[DRbravesfan29]

Its like Andruw never left....

[McCarroll21]

yeah, why would you get a hit there...
Or just hit a fly ball to one of their weak armed outfielders.

[Chief Knockahoma]

Or just hit a fly ball to one of their weak armed outfielders.

ha ha, good point.

[McCarroll21]

fixed it for you.
Remember the LarrySucks.com days?

[Chuck61686]

I want J.D. Drew back in right field...McCarroll's article says it all.
Would the Red Sox give us J.D. Drew, cash to pay part of his contract and a prospect pitcher in exchange for Frenchie? Seems fair enough to me.

[GrandMasterB]

Who didn't see that coming?

[josephw000]

Rally killers out the AZZ!

[Chief Knockahoma]

Mason McLeod stinks.

[McCarroll21]

Mason McLeod stinks.
LOL!

Mike Hampton is the answer.

[Chief Knockahoma]

Remember the LarrySucks.com days?

no, but i DO remember dankolbsucks.com! :cool:

[Chief Knockahoma]

Mason McLeod stinks.

well, don't i just feel bad now.

[jones2510]

lets go hudson dp

[Chief Knockahoma]

lets go hudson dp

how about now? :D

[McCarroll21]

Nice job cutting down the lead guy. Get another one like that Huddy!

[Chief Knockahoma]

well Joe...if travel is so tough on these guys making millions of dollars then tell them to quit.

[McCarroll21]

well Joe...if travel is so tough on these guys making millions of dollars then tell them to quit.
I'll take a free plane ride from Cali to New York to make more money when I land.

[Chief Knockahoma]

nice Larry!

[jones2510]

how about now? :D


:)

[DRbravesfan29]

Good Huddy..Cmon Offense some insurance runs!!

[McCarroll21]

Good Huddy..Cmon Offense some insurance runs!!
Screw insurance! Let's get up by at least two so I can cover!

[Chief Knockahoma]

let's go Matty

[McCarroll21]

C'mon Matty! Prove your worth!

[PhantomsCV]

Screw insurance! Let's get up by at least two so I can cover!

same here!!!!!!!

[GrandMasterB]

Screw insurance! Let's get up by at least two so I can cover!

Woo! CentSports FTW!

[McCarroll21]

Rawr! Guess we're just going to have to beat up on their bullpen.

[Chief Knockahoma]

let's go Huddy

[GrandMasterB]

Rawr! Guess we're just going to have to beat up on their bullpen.

Nah. All we gotta do is get one guy on to get Chipper up in the next inning.

[McCarroll21]

Huddy's reverted back to dealing, though it's not his Cincinnati-esque performance.

[Chief Knockahoma]

ah yes....the Smoltz, Glavine, Maddux days.

[McCarroll21]

ah yes....the Smoltz, Glavine, Maddux days.
The days where we were virtually guaranteed of winning 3 of 5 and won 4 of 5 quite a bit.

[McCarroll21]

Finally a hard hit ball that gets down for Kelly! Double somewhere Yunel!

[DRbravesfan29]

Cmon Esco!

[GrandMasterB]

You get on too, Yunel. A three-run homer is always better than a two-run homer.

[McCarroll21]

Bard can't throw worth crap so if Kelly can pick the move to run on, he'll beat it easily.

[McCarroll21]

Ho hum... we don't want to score.

[DRbravesfan29]

Great!!

[Mctaggart]

well, theres three

[GrandMasterB]

Congrats on delaying your agony for another inning, Wolf, but you can't avoid Chipper forever!

[McCarroll21]

That umpire is a douche. He tries to charge at Huddy and now he's going after Yunel.

[zstipe]

LOL GMB.

[Chief Knockahoma]

home plate ump is a cjones1999

[josephw000]

Can we stop blowing every chance we have in every inning!...?

[DRbravesfan29]

Cmon Huddy Get DP!

[zstipe]

We need some runs, need to quit hitting into the DP like Joe is saying.

[GrandMasterB]

home plate ump is a cjones1999

He's a horny teenager?

[zstipe]

Let me umpire, is three seasons of little league baseball make me qualified enough?

[McCarroll21]

They made that deal because of the guy playing first base for us.

[DRbravesfan29]

Cmon huddy!!!!

[McCarroll21]

Gah! Here comes this again.
