[McCarroll21]

I probably won't be able to watch this one. I'll be following on XM though. Because my market doesn't allow directv to give us local channels, my Fox networks are out of NYC and LA. The Mets and Angels are both playing Fox games today, so I'll get both of those on Fox instead of the Braves.

[Chopin_Mets]

Today's start by Randy Johnson is his first at The Ted since the perfect game. Johnson hasn't had a shutout since then.

Looks like a good crowd gathering...largest BP crowd I remember seening this year. Should be a fun one today.

Got rabbit ears?

[Jsh1284]

Awh man we've got our Split Squad B team lineup out there today. I would've liked to see Kotsay out there instead of Blanco, too. I don't know why Bobby thinks Blanco could hit Johnson better than Mark. That's pretty strange. Plus Mc is swinging a good bat. Even with a lefty on the mound, Mc can outproduce anything Miller can give us. He could outhit Miller even if RJ was still throwing 100+ actually. Oh well. Let's touch this guy up with some early runs and keep on piling them on. We need to even up this series so Glav and Jair can try to get us a comeback series win and give us a shot in the arm for the upcoming road trip!

Go offense, and go get em Jorge!

[McCarroll21]

Got rabbit ears?
The stations aren't close enough to get through rabbit ears. Our ABC affiliate is, but the Fox station is out of Memphis.

[jones2510]

Lets go braves!

:bravesflag1::chop:


Hopefully I can watch the game we have a big storm coming through

[Chopin_Mets]

The stations aren't close enough to get through rabbit ears. Our ABC affiliate is, but the Fox station is out of Memphis.
ohhhhh, got it.

[Jsh1284]

I thought you had Extra innings, Mc. Oh well I guess I thought wrong. Can you pick it up on the radio or are you gonna have to gameday this one?

[vnodnarb]

Let's send the Unit into an early retirement.

[McCarroll21]

I thought you had Extra innings, Mc. Oh well I guess I thought wrong. Can you pick it up on the radio or are you gonna have to gameday this one?
I do but they black out the national Fox telecasts. It's all good. I can listen on XM and it'll probably be just one of a few times during the year that the Fox lineup costs me a game. I'll live. :)

----

We won behind Jorge with our "B lineup" last time, too. Last time Kelly was in but Yunel wasn't. We'll be okay. I kind of figured it'd be more odd than this and Gotay would be at second with Omar in CF to get all righties in the lineup vs. The Unit.

On the bright side, we have one hell of a bench today and all the "useful" arms in the pen got last night off. :thumbsup:

[Jsh1284]

True enough. I hope the balls look like big units aka beachballs coming out of Johnson's hand. I don't want to see a nailbiter today, I want us to get on top early and cruse through this game to even the series. Just want to sit back, relax, and watch a nice afternoon of Braves baseball with a nice lead. If they do that for me today I'll be extremely pleased. =D

[vnodnarb]

Why is Corky batting ahead of anyone?

[Jsh1284]

I was wondering that too. Surely Bobby dosen't think he can hit better than Blanco, right? If he does I'm gonna have to start calling him Booby again.

I guess it's because he's a righty though. Blanco is the only lefty bat in the lineup so it makes sense to bat him 8th I guess. Then again Campillo is a righty too. If we're using that logic and are batting lesser hitters higher in the order just cause they swing it from the right side, then Campillo should hit 7th, Corky 8th and Blanco 9th because we all know Jorge can outhit Corky =D

[McCarroll21]

Why is Corky batting ahead of anyone?
It's weird but he's been batting above Blanco every time they've both been in the lineup, I believe.

[broke]

Saturday baseball is horrible. FOX needs to stop broadcasting games.

[McCarroll21]

Saturday baseball is horrible. FOX needs to stop broadcasting games.
They need to just go back to a 1:00 start time. 3:55 is the most stupid start time, ever. Baseball stadiums aren't built to take on a game at 3:55. Just look at the shadows cast on Turner Field when the game starts.

[Mctaggart]

I HATE FOX

[McCarroll21]

They're talking about activating Soriano tomorrow. They're using today as a "day off" and targeting tomorrow for his return. Not real news as that should be the given, but just figured I'd pass it along.

[Jsh1284]

Josh Hamilton with 53 RBI's? Man, it sure would be nice if we would've went after him for left field. You know we could have gotten him with ease.

Jair getting no love from fox even though he's having a better season than most of those guys they just showcased.

[Jsh1284]

LOL Kennedy sure does think a lot of himself. "He learned how to call a good game, handle a pitching staff 'blablabla' .... because of me *under his breath*" .. what an obnoxious prick .. heh. Yeah, Piazza had such a good career because of you, dude. Let's just forget the fact that he was a terrible defensive catcher and you're trying to say you taught him everything he knew about catching. XD

[McCarroll21]

Hamilton is just 3 points off Joe Mauer's average from being the AL Triple Crown leader.

Well, he's tied with 12 homers, leading with 53 RBIs and .003 behind Mauer for the average.

[McCarroll21]

LOL Kennedy sure does think a lot of himself. "He learned how to call a good game, handle a pitching staff 'blablabla' .... because of me *under his breath*" .. what an obnoxious prick .. heh.

Let's just forget the fact that he was a terrible defensive catcher and you're trying to say you taught him everything he knew about catching. XD
Piazza is an awesome defensive catcher. He just couldn't throw worth a damn and that's what everyone remembers. He's like Brian McCann right now, not that great at throwing out runners but awesome at handling a staff and all the pitchers love throwing to him.

[ATlinVA]

Go Braves!
Corky is going to avenge Eddie Perez today against the Big Unit. Damn perfect game was the most frustrating game I've ever watched.

[Jsh1284]

Allright let's get off to a good start, Campillo! Give us that same magic you gave us against the Mets .. and get us some early runs, offense!

[Chopin_Mets]

I can't believe that Fox has the Arizona TV broadcast crew doing the game...that's kind of crazy.

[jones2510]

Lets go campillo

[McCarroll21]

I can't believe that Fox has the Arizona TV broadcast crew doing the game...that's kind of crazy.
They're very good. I know Mark Grace is normally very good when on Fox. They know that they have to be a little different when on Fox than when on their FSN station.

Here's to Campillo doing the damn thing in Atlanta and Francis getting it done in the Rockies.

[jones2510]

K!

[McCarroll21]

Nice start Jorge! Keep it up!

[Nasadega]

Suck that curve

[Jsh1284]

Good start Jorge! Stand em up and sit em down!

[ATlinVA]

Campillo looks unbelievably relaxed.
Any idea how many pitches he could throw? No restrictions?

[Chopin_Mets]

They're very good. I know Mark Grace is normally very good when on Fox. They know that they have to be a little different when on Fox than when on their FSN station.


You're absoutely right, I've enjoyed Grace when I've listened to him. I like this Sutton pretty good too...It just suprised me a little for the two of them to be together on the "big FOX" calling an ARI game.

[Jsh1284]

So you actually are getting the game, Mc?

[McCarroll21]

You're absoutely right, I've enjoyed Grace when I've listened to him. I like this Sutton pretty good too...It just suprised me a little for the two of them to be together on the "big FOX" calling an ARI game.
Yeah, I guess it's kind of odd but they probably figured, "well, they're already there so why send another crew?"

I guess we can both agree that there are certainly worse combinations to throw in the booth. :)

[ATlinVA]

Great start!

[McCarroll21]

So you actually are getting the game, Mc?
XM radio. I've got this on radio and the Mets/Rockies and Angels/Sox on TV.

[jones2510]

nice campillo

[Jsh1284]

Good inning Jorge! Allright offense lets get some runs off Johnson in the first and give Jorge some room to work guys!

[731BravesFan]

haha "buck commander"..

[731BravesFan]

lmaooooooooo @ matt diaz.. oh godddddddd... wtf....

[Nasadega]

Greg White :lol:

[McCarroll21]

Ugh! Yunel! Work the count some.

Francis already in some major trouble in Denver. Mets up 3-0 with none out in the first.

[McCarroll21]

Greg White :lol:
That's what I call him! :)

[jones2510]

Lets go chipper!!

nice

[731BravesFan]

let's go buck commander!

[Chopin_Mets]

Yeah, I guess it's kind of odd but they probably figured, "well, they're already there so why send another crew?"

I guess we can both agree that there are certainly worse combinations to throw in the booth. :)

I can think of one or two...

[Jsh1284]

Allright pop one Teix! How bout a 2-0 lead in the first, if you please?

[ATlinVA]

There's Chipper being Chipper

[McCarroll21]

Chipper is pretty good. Kind of glad we took a chance on that kid. He may end up being something special.

[Nasadega]

Larry continues to own Big Unit

[ATlinVA]

Thank God he's not throwing a perfecto today

[731BravesFan]

well there's a good ol plug of his perfect game

[McCarroll21]

Thank God he's not throwing a perfecto today
LOL! Yeah, well... at least we got that one out of the way.

[Jsh1284]

Eh I won't ask for another homer today. That didn't work too well. Bleh We'll get em next time.

Keep doin what you did last time Jorge! Shut em down baby!

[McCarroll21]

Larry continues to own Big Unit
Which just goes to show how good Randy was that night in Atlanta. Chipper was 0-for-3 with three strikeouts in the perfect game.

[McCarroll21]

Francis looks like Jo-Jo from last night. Mets up 4-0 with 1 out in the top of the first. Runners on 1st and 2nd.

[Chopin_Mets]

Campillo is 5/27ths of the way to a.....well....I don't wanna jinx him, but payback would be nice.

[731BravesFan]

god that was nasty

[McCarroll21]

Campillo's dealing!

[Jsh1284]

Steeerike three! Way to whiff em Jorge! Good job!

[Nasadega]

Bwahahaha that was ugly by Upton

[Jsh1284]

Where was that pitch blue?

[McCarroll21]

Is Campillo's control on par with Maddux's? I know that sounds silly to even try to talk about, but seriously, does he ever miss his spot by much at all?

[Nasadega]

Francis looks like Jo-Jo from last night. Mets up 4-0 with 1 out in the top of the first. Runners on 1st and 2nd.

That only out being a Delgado strikeout, how surprising :D

[McCarroll21]

5-0 Mets going to the bottom of the first. Looks like they're trying to get back to .500.

[Jsh1284]

Nice inning Jorge! Allright bats give him a run or two, please? =)

[Nasadega]

"he won't get away with many of these curveball" ugh he's sat 'em down 1 to 6!

[Chopin_Mets]

Jorge has not thrown a first pitch ball...there are a few pitchers on the Braves staff that should take note.

[colebert]

f'in thunderstorm cuttin' out my game!!

anyone else see andruw strike-out for the final out in the dodger's late rally?

[McCarroll21]

Jorge has not thrown a first pitch ball...there are a few pitchers on the Braves staff that should take note.
You could probably go back through each of his at-bats all year and find a very similar ratio. He gets ahead in the count; that's for sure.

----

Hopefully the Rockies hit three-days rest Vargas well today and make it a slobber knocker and win the game in one of those 17-15 kind of games.

[jones2510]

lets go diaz

[731BravesFan]

god he'll swing at anything fast up above his chest

[Nasadega]

Frenchy should ask Larry on how to hit Big Unit.
Diaz too, uck

[Jsh1284]

Gah Johnson made Jeff and Matt look like little leaguers.

[McCarroll21]

Well, thanks for Chipper. Looks like he's going to have to homer every time up now for us to score.

[ATlinVA]

Lets Go Corkster...lean into one

[McCarroll21]

Holliday just went deep for the Rockies; 5-1 Mets now. Vargas is getting hit hard though. Hopefully Francis settles down and they keep pounding Vargas.

[ATlinVA]

Corky said thats fine, just give my pitcher the same pitch

[Jsh1284]

What a bad call by the home plate ump on Miller.

We're not getting any good swings off Johnson. I don't like how bad he's making us look. Gah ... hopefully we figure him out and start getting good wood on the ball the next time through the order.

[Nasadega]

At this rate Johnson's gonna pass Clemens next inning.

[McCarroll21]

Hopefully Blanco practices the push bunt while going out to center.

[731BravesFan]

god he's dealing too.

[Nasadega]

A glove taped to a pole would catch a Campillo pitch.

[ATlinVA]

Pumped that one up to 89!

[Jsh1284]

The ump isn't giving us any freakin calls.

[jones2510]

where was that ump

[Nasadega]

The ump is a randy johnson fan

[Jsh1284]

How bout a DP ball Jorge?

[Nasadega]

Corkster getting in Randy's head :D

[jones2510]

one more out campillo

[ATlinVA]

Thats why I hate name recognition or "reputation calls" in baseball.
Randy Johnson gets the inside strike a couple inches off the plate.
Jorge Campillo doesn't get the outside strike a couple inches off the plate.

[Jsh1284]

Allright one more out and let's get the bats back out there. We'll figure him out soon at the plate.

[731BravesFan]

there ya go campillo

[McCarroll21]

Anyone else listening on the radio? Did Pete fall asleep?

[Jsh1284]

Nice! Allright Gregor get on so we can scratch off at least one this inning baby! Let's get us a lead!

[McCarroll21]

Bunt! Bunt! Bunt!

[731BravesFan]

attaboy!

[ATlinVA]

Alright Gregor!

[Mctaggart]

wooot!

[jones2510]

woot!!!!! blanco

[McCarroll21]

Run! Run! Run! Woo! Greg White with the wheels!

[McCarroll21]

Now if only Fat Santana could hit like him...

[Jsh1284]

WOOOO GREGOR!!! YEAH BABY!!! Maybe a squeeze here? Or is he hacking?

Edit: NVM .. allright hit a fly ball ESCO! Let's get this run in guys!

[Nasadega]

A triple against Randy Johnson? Let's go riot in the streets

[Mctaggart]

alright come on yunel get him in, this run could be big

[ATlinVA]

Fly ball Yesco

[Jsh1284]

Ah hes swinging at crap pitches damnit! Please fly it to the OF.

[Mctaggart]

yessss

[731BravesFan]

attaboy yunel!

[McCarroll21]

Was that one of those swinging bunts that Diaz scores on quite a bit from third? Granted, Diaz has probably forgotten what third base looks like, but I'm just curious.

----

Way to go Yunel! Braves lead!

[ATlinVA]

Thats all Jorge needs!

[jones2510]

yes yunel!!!!!!!

[Nasadega]

First blood is drawn :woot:

[Jsh1284]

THERE WE GO! WAY TO GET EM IN YUNEL! Man a basehit is fine but I'd have liked to see him trying to lift one. Anyways lets go Omar get him over!

[McCarroll21]

First blood is drawn :woot:
Die Randy! lol

[Jsh1284]

Way to make him work Omar keep workin that count baby!

[McCarroll21]

I'm running on this 1-2 count. Randy has a high leg kick and he's probably going to the slider in the dirt.

[731BravesFan]

well the mets are startin to play ball..

what the hell's wrong with francis this year?

[Jsh1284]

Allright he got him over for Chipper! Base hit Mr MVP! C'mon Chipper do it baby!

[McCarroll21]

Good job Omar! Works like a sacrifice. Let's go Larry! Get over .420!

[731BravesFan]

damn randy..

[Jsh1284]

Ah shit! That might go into center if Johnson dosen't barehand that ball.

[ATlinVA]

Stupid play, but it worked

[McCarroll21]

Francis can't get anyone but Delcrap out.

Keep going strong Jorge!

[Jsh1284]

Well we've got a lead. Hold em right where they are, Jorge! We'll get you some more runs in the next half!

[colebert]

Now if only Fat Santana could hit like him...

Fat Santana? Who'd you steal that line from? :p

[McCarroll21]

The Mets called a kid up from Double-A last night and he's 2-for-2 with two doubles today.

[McCarroll21]

Fat Santana? Who'd you steal that line from? :p
Was it you? I know it was someone on here lol

[Jsh1284]

One more Jorge! Do it big boi!

[colebert]

Was it you? I know it was someone on here lol

:nod:

But it's ok. "Fat Santana" is licensed under the GPL. I just don't wanna see any "Fat Santana" Braves Nation T-shirts a couple months down the road without getting my royalty checks. :D

[jones2510]

lets go campillo one more

[ATlinVA]

Holy crap!

[731BravesFan]

give him the effin call.

[Jsh1284]

Where was that pitch blue? Give us a freakin call man!

[Nasadega]

Stupid ump

[ATlinVA]

Bout freaking time

[731BravesFan]

thanks for gettin it right the 2nd time around.

[colebert]

Upton in full-blown Struggle Mode.

[Nasadega]

Finally! Let's go murderers row

[McCarroll21]

Jorge's got some nasty stuff. Let's get some more runs StriKeout Krew.

[Jsh1284]

THANKS for FINALLY giving him the call on the EXACT SAME PITCH, blue! I guess he finally heard us eh?

Okay Teix get it started! We need to build on this lead and make Johnson work a little bit this inning.

[McCarroll21]

Campillo is at 59 pitches. They've all been relatively easy, though. Hopefully he can get at least one more inning in to qualify for the win but on short rest and not really stretched out, I'd be surprised to see him go more than five.

[Jsh1284]

WTF YOU BITCH? That was NOT a swing!

[ATlinVA]

Who the hell does the ump think he is?
Get your head out of your ass... I smell a Bobby ejection

[jschafer5]

Damn. Lets go Francoeur.

[McCarroll21]

Let's get some more runs StriKeout Krew.
Keep the pimp hand strong, StriKeout Krew.

[Nasadega]

Someone needs to foul one into his head to shake him up

[josephw000]

We K this shit out of ourselves against dominant Strikeout guys...Im suprised we got the best of Santana twice now....Johnson usually gives it to us pretty good its ridiculous.

[Nasadega]

Good job Frenchy!
Mash him Diaz!

[Jsh1284]

Well it wasn't pretty but we've got a runner on base! Rip one, Diaz!

[jones2510]

nice jeff

[McCarroll21]

w00t! Good things happen when you put it in play. Good job Jeff.

Unit - 5; StriKeout Krew - 1.

[ATlinVA]

Bennett is already up...

[McCarroll21]

Is Jeff running? I say no.

[lavell12]

Diaz is awful right now.

[Nasadega]

Jeezus Diaz at least make contact!

[jones2510]

lets go corky

[McCarroll21]

Woo! Keep going strong, StriKeout Krew!

Unit - 6; StriKeout Krew - 1.

[Jsh1284]

Way to make yourself look bad on ball four Matt. That sucked. And now Campillo is coming out of the game.

[lavell12]

Looks like Jorge maybe done for the day, he has blisters again.

[ATlinVA]

Campillo might be blistery, but he's coming back out
or at least it looked like it to me

[Jsh1284]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO @ CORKY! BRING IN MCCANN! BOOOOOOOO!

[McCarroll21]

That damn StriKeout Krew strikes again. Randy has 7 Ks and they've all come to four batters.

[McCarroll21]

Looks like Jorge maybe done for the day, he has blisters again.
I don't think he's had any problems with blisters this year. I think you're thinking of Jo-Jo.

[Chopin_Mets]

Pitching lines so far:

Johnson: 4IP 4H 1ER 0BB 7K 58Pitches 41Strikes
Campillo: 4IP 2H 0ER 0BB 3K 59Pitches 39Strikes

Bennett is in to pitch...that dang blister.

[ATlinVA]

Campillo is done! Bennett is on!
Need a great showing from the pen today

[lavell12]

I don't think he's had any problems with blisters this year. I think you're thinking of Jo-Jo.

announcers of FOX were talking about it, and look now no Campillo. Bennett replaces him on the bump, not good news.

[McCarroll21]

Let's go Jeff. Pitch well and vulture a win.

[Jsh1284]

C'mon Bennett keep this offense quiet!

[ATlinVA]

I don't think he's had any problems with blisters this year. I think you're thinking of Jo-Jo.
I think Bowman or whatever that dude's name is at Fox reported it. It was pretty well hidden.

[jones2510]

lets go bennett

[Nasadega]

Hopefully Campillo has derailed the Dbacks swings and it will be easy duty for the pen!

[ATlinVA]

Way to go Bennett!

[lavell12]

Bennett could be auditioning for a spot in the rotaion, wouldn't be suprised if he takes Jo Jo's place.

[Jsh1284]

Nice job so far by Jeff. Keep it going and get one more!

Edit: There we go! Getting the bats RIGHT back out there. Good job Bennett! Allright now let's do what we did last time Greg White led off the inning!

[DRbravesfan29]

what happened to Campillo??..he has a blister problem?? or 4 IP was his target because hes on 3 day rest ...

[lavell12]

nice easy inning for jeff

[lavell12]

what happened to Campillo??..he has a blister problem?? or 4 IP was his target because hes on 3 day rest ...

Blister problems, I think they would have pitched someone else if the second part was a concern.

[McCarroll21]

I think Bowman or whatever that dude's name is at Fox reported it. It was pretty well hidden.
That he had problems with blisters before right now? Hmm... if he did they did a good job of keeping it a secret lol...

Good job Jeff. Let's go score some more runs. :nod:

[lavell12]

not too suprised campillo has blister problems considering how he makes the ball move around.

[Jsh1284]

Mc, they were talking about it on the Braves' main site if I'm not mistaken. I just read that today though. Apparently he got a couple of blisters in his last start as well.

Allright Greg White! Get on base and set us up for the bunt baby!

[Nasadega]

Campillo has a 0.86ERA, if he was a Red Sox, he would probably start the all star game.

[Chop33]

what a shame that Campillo can't finish 5 to get his win

[McCarroll21]

Mc, they were talking about it on the Braves' main site if I'm not mistaken. I just read that today though. Apparently he got a couple of blisters in his last start as well.
Ahh! I see, I see. I'm out of the loop.

Hopefully they caught it in time to not make it a huge deal. It could answer a question about who stays and who goes on the staff though, at least temporarily.

[731BravesFan]

jeff bennett putting on his best owings impression

he has the power of the redman.

[Jsh1284]

Woo! Good job Bennett! Nice rip! Now, rip one Yunel!

[ATlinVA]

Just read Mark Bowman at mlb.com. He said Campillo had blister problems after his start Tuesday, but was going to try to pitch today. Let’s hope we don’t have another melt down like last night’s!!!!!!!!


That was a comment on DOB's blog

[jones2510]

nice jeff

[McCarroll21]

Bennett doesn't care about The Unit. He's no member of the StriKeout Krew!

[Nasadega]

Good job Zambrano!

[lavell12]

bennett with the base hit, his first career knock

[jones2510]

lets go yunel

[McCarroll21]

That was a comment on DOB's blog
Got ya! Thanks. I had no clue of blister problems, though like lavell said the way he makes the ball move it's not surprising.

Hopefully it's a non-issue, but thankfully if it does become an issue we have three arms coming back soon and we could get by with Bennett making a few starts.

[Jsh1284]

Gah I wish we could make him work a little freakin bit harder than we have been today. We need to knock him outta this game.

[lavell12]

Add another to the Krew, McCarroll

[josephw000]

Everyone K's...one way or another....everyone K's against the UNIT.

[jones2510]

lets go omar

[lavell12]

everytime Infante swings he has a facial express as if he is in real pain.

[ATlinVA]

Alright Bennett...hopefully you're first big league hit didn't tire you out.

[Jsh1284]

Damnit! This is getting frustrating. We need some freakin runs with Campillo out of the game. Oh well hold em here Bennett!

[Nasadega]

Someone go tell Randy that we're not in 2001!

[josephw000]

Wellllll

So Chipper Gregor and the 9 spot have figured out how NOT to strike out.....

[josephw000]

If we cant get some runs on the board this is gonna take a miracle...

[Chopin_Mets]

From the Braves Clubhouse: Campillo blister on his right middle finger.

[McCarroll21]

everytime Infante swings he has a facial express as if he is in real pain.
Funny. Same here.

----

The Krew is getting too crowded. It's like they want to be a member of the Krew.

WTF is up with these blisters....

Campillo was amazing AGAIN....

[lavell12]

Who would of ever thought that the Braves would be so concerned about an injury to Jorge Campillo?

[Jsh1284]

Strikes, Bennett!

Edit: there we go. Shut em down! These bats are sleeping. Keep it that way!

[McCarroll21]

Who would of ever thought that the Braves would be so concerned about an injury to Jorge Campillo?
:lol: It's been that kind of year..

[ATlinVA]

From the Braves Clubhouse: Campillo blister on his right middle finger.
I don't see how a blister would keep him out any time unless its a reoccurring thing like Beckett. Even then, I didn't really get it. They have that spray on stuff that works pretty well.

[lavell12]

throw a damn strike bennett

[jones2510]

come on jeff get the dp

[McCarroll21]

Time for an ol' 5-4-3 double play.

[Jsh1284]

Oh god he just walked a strikeout machine. STRIKES, Bennett! We don't have a four run lead dude! DP ball here please!

[731BravesFan]

I don't see how a blister would keep him out any time unless its a reoccurring thing like Beckett. Even then, I didn't really get it. They have that spray on stuff that works pretty well.
pitching with a blister is one of the most painful things baseball-related i've ever experienced.

[731BravesFan]

son of a bitch.

[Jsh1284]

SHIT!! YOU IDIOT!

[lavell12]

WTF

[Nasadega]

Ouch
What a break for the dbacks, hopefully it doesn't backfire

[McCarroll21]

Ugh! Jeff's an idiot. Just throw it to the bag and give him a chance to catch it.

[lavell12]

I blame Mc he said it was going to be a 5-4-3.

[jones2510]

:blah:

[DRbravesfan29]

gah!! Cmon Bennett

[colebert]

I have seen that play f'ed up more times this year.

[Jsh1284]

What the HELL is he still doing in this game? Perfect double play ball thrown into freaking centerfield. Gah I'm pissed now. THROW STRIKES BENNETT!

[ATlinVA]

Show some toughness here Bennett

[McCarroll21]

I blame Mc he said it was going to be a 5-4-3.
Last time I said it with Bennett on the mound, we got it. I was going for good karma.

[Tictac]

Job well done! :thumbsup:

[DRbravesfan29]

THROW STRIKES!!!!!!!!!!

[731BravesFan]

.. damnit.

[Jsh1284]

Good job Bennett thats the way you get outs. By not letting them hit the ball! BRILLIANT!

[Nasadega]

Ugh, we should be out of it :(
Get the DP now!

[DRbravesfan29]

Jeezzzzz...Get him out of there!!

[McCarroll21]

How long has it been since Bennett pitched? Double header or has he pitched since?

Edit: Gave up two runs in an inning on the 21st.

[ATlinVA]

We need a double play desperately
Do you think Bennett could make the throw home on a grounder back to him?

Phil Stockman(!?) warming up

[lavell12]

now bennet if you get a ball right back to you throw it to corky the guy right near home plate you now.

[jones2510]

come on jeff get out of this

[Jsh1284]

He called that a ball??

[731BravesFan]

GREAT PLAY YUNEL!!!!! OMG DSKFLJSDKLFJDSFJLKSD

[ATlinVA]

Holy Cow! What a play by Yesco and especially Teix!

[colebert]

Esco and Tex!

[Mctaggart]

omg woooooooooooo

[McCarroll21]

Woo! Yunel!

[Jsh1284]

WOO!!! GOOD JOB YUNEL! AND NICE SCOOP, TEIX!

[Nasadega]

OMFG Esco for MVP

[lavell12]

great play yunel and tex, i thought no way he would get a dp on that.

[jones2510]

nice tex and yunel!!

[731BravesFan]

there are some d-backs fans out there that are extremely flustered right about now..
