[Chief Knockahoma]

let's go out there and win this one for Smoltzy!

[HTF]

No Chipper yay! Way to lift the spirits after a huge dissapointing morning. Cmon boys reach deep for this one today.

[MSU Bulldog]

Do it Tommy!

[brnt247]

Wackiest lineup yet. Francoeur in the 3 hole, McCann behind Norton, Anderson getting the start vs. the lefty. Chipper out and Infante taking his spot. Lets hope someone comes up huge and carries us to victory today. Thank god no more Uggla.

[dogmanx23]

I think today we show what we are made of. Today is a sad day if indeed its Smoltz last day as a brave. This team needs to step up and win one not only for Smoltz but all brave fans.

[HTF]

Not to single any of the Braves out, but you got to figure Mac will be out to prove something today with his bud possibly gone.

[McCarroll21]

You don't think Glavine may be pitching with a little more fire?

[HTF]

You don't think Glavine may be pitching with a little more fire?

I hope not, cuz he needs to be Mellow and chilled out to be successful, but yeah I think he'll want to win this one a little bit more.

[dogmanx23]

it shouldn't be one single player it should be all of them. Step your game up for your teamate and one of the greatest braves ever!!!! Kelly, Esco, Franky, Mac, Tommy step up your game show Smoltz the respect you got for him by playing with everything you got just like he did thats what i expect from them today.

[timmy]

It's "Bring Your Broom to the Ballpark Day" Boys!

Edit: Nevermind four game series, but still we need this one bad.

[McCarroll21]

It's "Bring Your Broom to the Ballpark Day" Boys!
Really? That's usually reserved for the last game in a series.

[HTF]

Really? That's usually reserved for the last game in a series.

LOL, you can't blame him for being confident in JJ.

[Chief Knockahoma]

if our fans show up to the ballpark with brooms today...they're gonna look like some asses.

:D

[timmy]

Yeah I caught myself on that one...

[timmy]

if our fans show up to the ballpark with brooms today...they're gonna look like some asses.

:D


Hey if I'd lived ten minutes from the TED I'd have probably looked like an ass today.

[Moylan #58]

Both lineups are pretty bad..

[jones2510]

Lets go Braves!! Thats a different lineup, I can't watch the game today and I wanted to see Anderson play guess have to wait till after work.

:bravesflag1::chop:

[gobravez]

Let's go Bravos!

[orangenation4]

anderson gets a start.. we finally get to see what hes really made of.. maybe he'll become our jay bruce..

[Moylan #58]

anderson gets a start.. we finally get to see what hes really made of.. maybe he'll become our jay bruce..
But Bruce can get a bunt down :p

[Jsh1284]

W00t .. go Braves! We're gonna beat up on Hendrickson this afternoon unmercifully.

[lavell12]

McCann is hitting over .370 against lefties yet he hits 6th. He should be in the three hole.

[JCStone7]

Left the meeting early and went home... let's go Braves!

[SCchief]

W00t .. go Braves! We're gonna beat up on Hendrickson this afternoon unmercifully.

didn't he pretty much shut us down last time he pitched against the Braves?

[lavell12]

Did Stockman make a U-Turn back to Atlanta?

[timmy]

What's the latest on Prado anyone?

[brnt247]

Another sign pointing to how W/L records mean absolute crap.

Hendrickson is 7-3, with a 5.27 ERA.

[McCarroll21]

Did Stockman make a U-Turn back to Atlanta?
I hope we call up a position player; or bring up Stockman and a position player and send Carlyle out. If we're not going to use the 13th guy, there's no need in limiting ourselves to a short bench.

[Jsh1284]

I honestly don't remember .. but he's not exactly having a great season. He just gets a ton of run support which is the reason he has seven wins. I think if we shut their offense down we can win this thing.

[Chief Knockahoma]

let's go Tommy!

[SCchief]

Uggla is taken the day off, good, hopefully he will not get any pinch hits and hit another homerun

[McCarroll21]

The fact their whole offense is sitting this one out should help.

*knock on wood*

[josephw000]

No Uggla!!! Yay....maybe they both said well sit Chipper if you sit Uggie.....

[Jsh1284]

Throw Strikes, Glavine!

[lavell12]

I hope we call up a position player; or bring up Stockman and a position player and send Carlyle out. If we're not going to use the 13th guy, there's no need in limiting ourselves to a short bench.

its really a three man bench anyway b/c Corky is useless as a bench player. Don't know who it would be if Prado isn't ready. Doubt they would have Jones and Anderson up. Thorman???

[brnt247]

The only player in the Marlins starting lineup today with an average above .300




Hendrickson .308

[timmy]

What was wrong with that one Ump?

[broke]

Omar will have a career day today.

[McCarroll21]

its really a three man bench anyway b/c Corky is useless as a bench player. Don't know who it would be if Prado isn't ready. Doubt they would have Jones and Anderson up. Thorman???
Don't think they'd call up Thorman because then they'd have to DFA him again to get him back to Richmond. I agree it's kind of questionable about who to bring up.

---

Let's go Glav!

[Jsh1284]

That's not what I wanted to see with Glavine's first inning trouble.

Get the DP, Tom! Don't let em get anything else!

[McCarroll21]

What was wrong with that one Ump?
HOT! lol

[SCchief]

What about calling up Charlie Morton

[PhantomsCV]

Let's go Tommy, do it for your friend Smoltzie!

[josephw000]

We cant have these effin walks Tommy remember what happened last time man commmmmmmmon!

[timmy]

Lillibridge?

[JCStone7]

What about calling up Charlie Morton

Send down a bullpen guy call up a starter :confused:

[McCarroll21]

What about calling up Charlie Morton
For what?

[Chief Knockahoma]

sit down Hermida!

[SCchief]

Never really liked Wes,

[Jsh1284]

Good job Tommy way to bounce back from the walk! Helms is a nice DP candidate. Get the ground ball Tom!

[Jsh1284]

That was a good throw by Mc for a change. He stole that one off Tom though.

[McCarroll21]

Never really liked Wes,
I was hoping we'd pick him up when they DFA'd him. He'd be good to have on our bench.

[broke]

I was hoping we'd pick him up when they DFA'd him. He'd be good to have on our bench.

Doesnt he have a high salary?

[SCchief]

For what?


I had heard that they wanted to start him working middle releif then work him into the starting rotation, maybe I miss heard.

Dam Tom, come on

[Chief Knockahoma]

bleh.

[McCarroll21]

I hate watching a Glavine start.

[PhantomsCV]

damn, COME ON UMP!!!!

Glavine lives on the corners, and your not giving them to him!

[WaltDeezy]

come on tommy

[timmy]

C'mon Tommy get a groundball

[Jsh1284]

Well we're set up for a double play once again. Get the ground ball, Tom.

This ump also has a small zone. I so wish all umps actually gave the borderline call to the pitcher like they used to.

[ATlinVA]

I need to wake up earlier. I can't handle the Smoltz news and get ready for the game in like 5 minutes.

[McCarroll21]

Doesnt he have a high salary?
The Phillies are paying all of it anyway.

[lavell12]

glav's control this year has gotten a lot worse

[josephw000]

Just dont swing and Tommy will walk the ball park......

[731BravesFan]

at least he's keepin most of his stuff down in the zone..

[brnt247]

glav's control this year has gotten a lot worse

Nope. He's always pitched just like this. Did everyone forget?

[PhantomsCV]

poop

[WaltDeezy]

great

[Chief Knockahoma]

Tommy Tommy Tommy...will you ever be able to get a 1-2-3 first inning?

:D

[klm79]

great start tommy...what happened to his control?

[McCarroll21]

I had heard that they wanted to start him working middle releif then work him into the starting rotation, maybe I miss heard.

Dam Tom, come on
Don't see how that could be a realistic picture. Our bullpen is deeper than our rotation right now so it'd be odd to move one of those who provide depth to the rotation to the bullpen.

Morton just needs to stay where he is until we need him.

-----

Yay! Glavine walking guys and they come around to score. Same story in every damn start.

[timmy]

This is why you can't walk ppl.

[Jsh1284]

Bleh. Tom dosen't have much left in the tank, I do believe. Career-wise.

Hopefully Im wrong though. He just hasnt settled in to any kind of groove all year.

[broke]

walks.....kill

[josephw000]

Story of Glavines year...

[PhantomsCV]

good job Kage!

[lavell12]

we now have two guys that don't have much left. scratch that atleast smoltz still has "stuff", he just can't ever pitch.

[Chief Knockahoma]

only one run...not too bad.

[WaltDeezy]

good turn kj

[timmy]

Good Turn KJ!

[brnt247]

Not many make the turn better than KJ.

[HTF]

typical glavine 1st inning

[Jsh1284]

Good job getting the ground ball. Yunel scared me there .. heh.

Now it's time to jump on Hendrickson early and often.

[McCarroll21]

Nope. He's always pitched just like this. Did everyone forget?
Yes and no. He has always nibbled and never gives in, but he used to be good enough adjust to the umpire and game.

When you're walking the ballpark, you're not pitching to contact. That's what he's always done before, but now he's pitching like a rookie scared of having a homer hit off him.

[lavell12]

joba chamberline called and says he thinks glavine throws too many pitches in the frst inning.

[brnt247]

Now he'll go scoreless for the next 3-4 innings and then Chuck James it up.

[McCarroll21]

joba chamberline called and says he thinks glavine throws too many pitches in the frst inning.
From now on, you can't try to make a joke unless you can spell their name right.

[lavell12]

how do the braves have one of the best era's in baseball?

[brnt247]

Yes and no. He has always nibbled and never gives in, but he used to be good enough adjust to the umpire and game.

When you're walking the ballpark, you're not pitching to contact. That's what he's always done before, but now he's pitching like a rookie scared of having a homer hit off him.

Yes, but that isn't because he lost his control. He's always nibbled around the corners, and if he gets the call he gets it, if not he deals with the walk. Walking Helms wasn't even that bad, he got the ground ball from Jacobs, it just had eyes.

[Chief Knockahoma]

what's with the one pitch AB Yunel?

[JCStone7]

Way to take a few Esco

[lavell12]

From now on, you can't try to make a joke unless you can spell their name right.

good point

[brnt247]

how do the braves have one of the best era's in baseball?

Ummm, because the pitchers don't give up many runs?

[WaltDeezy]

Yunel swings at the first pitch more than any other lead off hitter i have ever seen

[lavell12]

Yunel grounds out to SS on the first pitch every game.

[Jsh1284]

*sigh* Yunel is so inpatient. He's no leadoff hitter. You see that Bobby? I know you do. Start letting Gregor lead off.

[McCarroll21]

how do the braves have one of the best era's in baseball?
Well, we don't give up a lot of runs and make a lot of errors. :)

[Chief Knockahoma]

good job Kelly!

let's go Jeff

[lavell12]

Ummm, because the pitchers don't give up many runs?

it sure doesn't seem like it.

[timmy]

Atta Boy KJ

[JCStone7]

C'mon Frenchy!

[Jsh1284]

W00t Kelly! Get him in, Jeff! Guy who should NEVER hit third in a lineup!

[josephw000]

Good effin job KElly. Show em why they are dumb to sit you versus lefties...hittin 333 versus lefties baby!

[klm79]

lets see how he does in his future batting spot


apparently well!

[lavell12]

we can always rely on wipping out the ole johnson for a double.

[broke]

jeff in the 3 hole is scary

[Chief Knockahoma]

good job Jeff!

let's go Mark

[JCStone7]

Atta boy Jeff

[McCarroll21]

Let's go Teix!

Looks like Kelly had to hold up a little not knowing how long that ball would hang up there.

[steltz02]

Where can I listen online?

[Jsh1284]

Allright Teix, hit it in the air to the outfield! We need that run back baby!

Nice job of hitting there by Jeff. That was amazing. Hopefully he learns to go the other way more often.

[brnt247]

lets see how he does in his future batting spot


apparently well!

Yeh right. The day Francoeur is our #3 hitter on a daily basis is the day the franchise is in a lot of trouble.

[josephw000]

Good job Kage.....steal Jeff! ;)

[WaltDeezy]

lets go tex bring him in

[broke]

Where can I listen online?

mlb.com or xm

[McCarroll21]

lets see how he does in his future batting spotOh god... If he's ever a #3 hitter in our lineup for a considerable amount of time, I'll flip.

[brnt247]

Good job Kage.....steal Jeff! ;)

No thanks, just get one in the air Teix.

[WaltDeezy]

ouch

[ATlinVA]

1st inning rally!
Do it Teix!

[timmy]

Well, we don't give up a lot of runs and make a lot of errors. :)

Actually 16 teams have more errors than we do, so we're pretty middle of the pack.

[Chief Knockahoma]

well that sucks.

let's go Norton.

[Jsh1284]

Good god .. what did you take that pitch for, Teix? We might have just wasted a scoring opportunity.

Glavine had BETTER get that call too.

[brnt247]

Oh god... If he's ever a #3 hitter in our lineup for a considerable amount of time, I'll flip.

I beat you this time!

[josephw000]

Yeh right. The day Francoeur is our #3 hitter on a daily basis is the day the franchise is in a lot of trouble.

It may be the day our 4-7 hitters are all hall of famers...so he needs to hit 3rd.....

[SCchief]

From now on, you can't try to make a joke unless you can spell their name right.


LOL

[JCStone7]

It may be the day our 4-7 hitters are all hall of famers...so he needs to hit 3rd.....

No then he would be hitting 8th

[josephw000]

....ooooo my......i dunno bout that one....

[brnt247]

It may be the day our 4-7 hitters are all hall of famers...so he needs to hit 3rd.....

Well that statement makes no sense.

[steltz02]

mlb.com or xm
Thanks!

[josephw000]

No then he would be hitting 8th

LOL!

[Chief Knockahoma]

Norton is clutch!

[McCarroll21]

Thanks Bavasi!

[731BravesFan]

so this norton guy can kinda swing the bat..

[HTF]

Big Nort is Clutch

[SCchief]

NICE NORTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111

[PhantomsCV]

good job NORTON!!!!!!!!1

[JCStone7]

Norton is the new Marlin killer

[josephw000]

Well that statement makes no sense.

Just wishful thinking...

[WaltDeezy]

atta boy norton, lets go b mac

[Jsh1284]

YES! Good job of hitting, Norton! Way to pick Teix up baby!

Norton was a good pick up. I like this guy .. at least offensively.

[timmy]

Hitting wise, I'm starting to like you Nort, if only it weren't such an adventure out there in left.

[brnt247]

Norton has been good in run producing rolls. He's been a solid stop gap in LF.

[Chief Knockahoma]

let's go McCann

[McCarroll21]

Norton sucks. We need Brayan Pena!

[SCchief]

3 RUN SHOT WOULD BE NICE

[josephw000]

Good job Norton...I'm wayyy behind.....

[ATlinVA]

Greg Norton picking Teix up...
Yea, it happened.

[Jsh1284]

Welp we knotted the game up at least. I think we're gonna have lots a long innings off this kid today.

Shut em down in the second, Tommy!

[SCchief]

Norton sucks. We need Brayan Pena!


The Royals are starting to look like a Braves affiliate

[timmy]

Greg Norton picking Teix up...
Yea, it happened.

It's okay Teix is gonna do some yardwork yet today.

[JCStone7]

The Royals are starting to look like a Braves affiliate

The Royals already released Pena

[brnt247]

Remember how many people were complaining that Anderson should start in LF regularly with these guys out? Then when I said that Anderson isn't nearly as good of a hitter as Norton?

[lavell12]

Norton sucks. We need Brayan Pena!

we need thorman!

[josephw000]

The Royals are starting to look like a Braves affiliate

I figure we work on a deal with Kastan over there and all...AAAA Kansas City Braves.....

[McCarroll21]

The Royals are starting to look like a Braves affiliate
They DFA'd him too.

[vnodnarb]

Everyone is back on the Norton train, I see.

[josephw000]

Remember how many people were complaining that Anderson should start in LF regularly with these guys out? Then when I said that Anderson isn't nearly as good of a hitter as Norton?

...We've seen Anderson hit three times....

[JCStone7]

I figure we work on a deal with Kastan over there and all...AAAA Kansas City Braves.....

:confused:

[McCarroll21]

Remember how many people were complaining that Anderson should start in LF regularly with these guys out? Then when I said that Anderson isn't nearly as good of a hitter as Norton?
And we need Brayan Pena! lol

---

Tommy needs a quick inning after his 25 pitch first inning.

[SCchief]

They DFA'd him too.


has he cleared?

[Chief Knockahoma]

Everyone is back on the Norton train, I see.
you noticed that too huh?

[lavell12]

The Royals already released Pena
if we pick him up then can we send him the AAA or no?

[timmy]

We need Jason Perry!

[WaltDeezy]

1 pitch 1 out will help that pitch count

[McCarroll21]

Amezaga makes me think of pasta.

[JCStone7]

Marlins have 3 catchers on the roster today

[broke]

4 elbow surgeries and now 1 on the shoulder......he is gonna have some sort of pain the rest his life.

[DRbravesfan29]

get dp tommy cmon!!

[Chief Knockahoma]

let's go Tommy

[McCarroll21]

Marlins have 3 catchers on the roster today
The one they called up today can play a lot of places. They had been going with a four man bench too. Sent Tankersley out last night.

[timmy]

Amezaga makes me think of pasta.

Mmm...pasta sounds good, I think I'm gonna put some water on to boil in the middle of the inning and make some spaghetti :D

[WaltDeezy]

throw strikes please

[Jsh1284]

THROW STRIKES, TOM! Gah.. he annoys me with this nibbling B.S.

[klm79]

ughhh

[Chief Knockahoma]

you are out!

[731BravesFan]

what a throw!

[SCchief]

hell yes

[PhantomsCV]

Amezaga just got



PWNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HTF]

Mr. Excitement baby

[timmy]

Nice throw Esc-O!

[McCarroll21]

4 elbow surgeries and now 1 on the shoulder......he is gonna have some sort of pain the rest his life.
Definitely won't be able to live in cold weather.

Way to go Yunel!

[WaltDeezy]

great relay from yunel good play all around

[klm79]

wow nice relay. i typed ughh as i saw that ball in the air lol

[JCStone7]

Remember how many people were complaining that Anderson should start in LF regularly with these guys out? Then when I said that Anderson isn't nearly as good of a hitter as Norton?

As Anderson picks up the OFA

[brnt247]

What a relay!

[Jsh1284]

WHAT A PLAY! NICE!

Tommy just lobbed that curve right down the middle. We're lucky it didnt get out of here.

Get this guy Tom! We need to get our bats back up there since they're pumped up now! Gah and don't lob anymore changes or curves down the pipe, please.

[McCarroll21]

Hendrickson has one big strike zone. lol

[SCchief]

SWEET

[brnt247]

...We've seen Anderson hit three times....

I don't care how many times we've seen a guy hit. All you need in baseball are the numbers. I've seen Adrian Gonzales hit maybe 5 times in my life but I know he's a real good hitter, because of the numbers.

[JCStone7]

If McCann set up like that in Cincy we would've won one!

[McCarroll21]

Glav's getting the outside corner now! :)

[Jsh1284]

Good pitch, Tommy! Man I'm still stuck on that awesome throw. Good play all around.

[timmy]

Brian did a good job of blocking the plate, that was just textbook all the way around. Alright let's go get the lead.

[lavell12]

nice job yunel, saving glav's arse once again.

[brnt247]

And Glavine takes down their only .300 hitter.

[McCarroll21]

If McCann set up like that in Cincy we would've won one!
No need to be greedy.

[McCarroll21]

And Glavine takes down their only .300 hitter.
Ahh! And now he's sitting at .296 lol

[Jsh1284]

Glav's getting the outside corner now! :)

Yep and when Glav gets the corners, the other team usually has fits. :)

I see many bad off balance swings by Marlins hitters in this one.

[Chief Knockahoma]

let's go O!

[Chief Knockahoma]

let's go Josh

[McCarroll21]

I figured Hanley would throw that one away.

[731BravesFan]

SPEEEEEEED

[JCStone7]

SPEED KILLS!

[McCarroll21]

I thought they got him.

[brnt247]

He was out.

[Jsh1284]

W00t! We got a break!

Bunt him over, Tommy! ... And Yunel .. get him in! Let's go offense!

[HTF]

The fanclub is back

[Chief Knockahoma]

tie goes to the runner!

bunt him over Tommy

[WaltDeezy]

speed kills, get him over tommy

[timmy]

Tie goes to runner.

[McCarroll21]

Has JA gotten the ball out of the infield yet?

[brnt247]

Tie goes to the runner is not a rule in the MLB.

[PhantomsCV]

Has JA gotten the ball out of the infield yet?

not sure...

[JCStone7]

Has JA gotten the ball out of the infield yet?

I think he blooped out to the SS in the outfield yesterday

[josephw000]

Damn Anderson.....

[Jsh1284]

Ah come on Glavine! We need you to get this guy to second, man!

[brnt247]

I never understand the bunt an run, unless they think he's going to go to 3rd.

[josephw000]

Let him run Tommy jeeez

[brnt247]

I think he blooped out to the SS in the outfield yesterday

Does that count? haha

[WaltDeezy]

The way they were talking, if the bunt got down, he would have had third fairly easily

[Chief Knockahoma]

let's get him home Yunel

[gobravez]

w00t! Good job glavy!

[PhantomsCV]

good bunt Tommy (only 19 behind Omar Visquel)

[McCarroll21]

Two out hitting, Yunel!

[HTF]

good job tommy cmon esco

[WaltDeezy]

better late than never, nice job tom

[Jsh1284]

Nice bunt, Tommy! He always does that beautifully even with two strikes on him.

Go Yunel! Be patient, find your pitch, and find a hole baby!

[WaltDeezy]

dont swing at the first pitch again please

[ATlinVA]

The way they were talking, if the bunt got down, he would have had third fairly easily
It doesn't matter if he made it to third, he would score from second on anything including a balk and a passed ball. He's THAT fast.

[broke]

yunel does that fake bunt swing......i'll puke

[josephw000]

It doesn't matter if he made it to third, he would score from second on anything including a balk and a passed ball. He's THAT fast.


He is pretty effin fast. I think Mc said he may be the fastest in the organization....

[gobravez]

w00t!

[731BravesFan]

there we go!

[Chief Knockahoma]

wooooooooooooooooo!

Braves lead!

[PhantomsCV]

Good RBI ESCO!

[WaltDeezy]

WHOO

[McCarroll21]

Yay Yunel! Give us another double, Kelly!

[JCStone7]

1-run game!!! w00t

[Jsh1284]

Nice piece of hitting by Escobar! I LOVE to see Jeff and Yunel going to the opposite field. They'll be real dangerous hitters if they can do what theyve done today consistently.

[brnt247]

Woo!

[ATlinVA]

He is pretty effin fast. I think Mc said he may be the fastest in the organization....
Jair's faster

[PhantomsCV]

good play Hanley!!!!

[Chief Knockahoma]

sweet!

let's go Jeff

[McCarroll21]

There's my Hanley Ramirez error I was calling for!

[WaltDeezy]

lets go franc, bring another one home

[JCStone7]

C'mon Frenchy!

[HTF]

Great hustle KJ!

[Jsh1284]

THANK YOU HANLEY! .. Allright Jeff how about going with the pitch and getting another hit w/ RISP?

[josephw000]

Good job Yunel! We didint need a bunt from Tom anyways, he'd of scored from first definitely....
