[McCarroll21]

That's our lineup. Not sure about their lineup.

Some notes about the lineup:


McCann catching Campillo for the first time as a starter.
Blanco staying at leadoff for a second consecutive game; Escobar back to two-hole to stay?
We're going with the righties at 2B and LF against Bedard. It gets Kelly and BJones a day off, but the splits say lefties hit Bedard better than right handed batters.
Infante batting 5th vs. a lefty. I'd rather it be McCann, but it's interesting that Francoeur is still batting 7th. Bobby's learning, it just takes a while.

[brnt247]

Gotay isn't very good from the right side, but he hasn't hit in forever it feels like. Weird lineup, but theirs isn't exactly muderer's row either.

[brnt247]

The only two Braves who have started in the same spot in the lineup the entire season are Mark Teixeira and Chipper Jones.

[DRbravesfan29]

i like this Lineup....expect Gotay, but i'll take it...Francoeur batting 7th,wOOOOOO!!.... Go Campy!! :bravesflag1:

[HTF]

If your a centsports junkie, might want to jump on the Under quickly.

[McCarroll21]

Updated Seattle's lineup.

[bbp710]

McCann DOESN'T need to be batting behind Infante.

Bobby is learning putting Blanco leadoff, Escobar back in the 2 hole, and moving Francoeur down to 7th. Hopefully he will move Teixeira down, if he doesn't get it turned around.

[McCarroll21]

It takes Bobby a little bit of time. At least he's doing the first step right now. I wonder what this lineup looks like with Kelly back in there? Hmm... it'll be interesting.

[GrandMasterB]

Infante batting 5th? I don't have a problem with him getting the start, but no way he should be in the heart of the order.

[brnt247]

vs. Righties Kelly has to be in the 6 hole with this type of lineup. With lefties it'll be interesting. I think he'll put him 7th behind Francoeur.

[Moylan #58]

Woo Gotay! And Blanco at leadoff?! Sweet!

[brnt247]

Any reason you're so estatic about Ruben?

[Moylan #58]

Any reason you're so estatic about Ruben?
He hasn't started since like April.

[McCarroll21]

At least we're seeing Gotay from his better side tonight. :rolleyes:

[McCarroll21]

He hasn't started since like April.
Yeah! Prado took BP today and is ready to start working back. Time to let one of the scouts in attendance watch Ruben!

[Moylan #58]

Yeah! Prado took BP today and is ready to start working back. Time to let one of the scouts in attendance watch Ruben!
Nice,

Gotay was actually pretty good for the Mets last year so maybe we can get something for him :confused:

[McCarroll21]

Not trying to come off as anything more than what it is but Gotay sucks against left handed pitching. If we were going to use the right handed players or the switch hitters, we should have gone with Norton in LF and Infante at 2B.

Gotay was only good from one side of the plate last year. Last year he hit .194/.286/.222 - .508 vs. LHP (.318/.367/.468 - .835 vs. RHP).

It hasn't been much different this year -- .100/.308/.100 - .408 vs. LHP (1-10, 3 walks); .233/.343/.267 - .610 vs. RHP.

Where's Willy Aybar when you need him?

[Moylan #58]

Maybe Kelly will come in later in the game? Or Infante moves to second later and Norton or Jones moves to Left.

[HTF]

Where's Willy Aybar when you need him?

Playing well for a good team, dude played 1st base a day ago, oh what we could do with a guy like that. Not to mention the meager .440 avg against LHP.

[Moylan #58]

That cow looks awesome

[HTF]

That cow looks awesome

Dude how can you talk about Skip Caray like that? :eek:

[jones2510]

Lets go Braves!!


:chop::bravesflag1:

[Moylan #58]

Dude how can you talk about Skip Caray like that? :eek:
:lol:

No the Chick-Fil-A cow in Right field.

Starting at third base in Tampa, that's where. ;)

I can't believe you would suggest putting Norton out there! Don't you know he's pretty much the worst player on the team, next to Corky?

[McCarroll21]

Starting at third base in Tampa, that's where. ;)
Actually he's starting at first, but you get the point. :)

[Moylan #58]

Anyone watching the NHL draft right now?

[McCarroll21]

Anyone watching the NHL draft right now?
What's the NHL?

[GrandMasterB]

Anyone watching the NHL draft right now?

I think the better question would be anyone actually know the NHL had it's draft today?.

[GrandMasterB]

What's the NHL?

The No Hope League.

[McCarroll21]

The No Hope League.
Ahh! I see... I'll take lavell with my first rounder and sign him to a 1.5 million chads from a hole punch for a singing bonus.

GONZALEZ HAS A BLISTER … relax, it’s on his glove hand. On index finger. How he got that, I don’t know (he didn’t either). But it’s not a big deal, obviously. Just thought I’d share that.

He didn’t pitch yesterday only because that wasn’t a closer situation, on the road in a tie game, etc.
Gonna be monitored each day initially, but so far he feels great and NO restrictions.

How the heck do you get a blister on your glove hand?...

Gonzalez is ambidextrous. Woo!

[Southpaw]

Hopefully Blanco can work the count for a leadoff walk to get this game started right. I like how he took 33 pitches in four at bats yesterday.

[GrandMasterB]

Hopefully Blanco can work the count for a leadoff walk to get this game started right. I like how he took 33 pitches in four at bats yesterday.

And 15 in one at-bat! That was crazy.

[HTF]

Anyone watching the NHL draft right now?

I'm not watching, but Stamkos is amazing, watch some of his youtube vids.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-xcuktoTiw

[josephw000]

I knew there was a game today!!! I couldnt find it though on ESPN.com!

[josephw000]

I didn't know that?

[vnodnarb]

And 15 in one at-bat! That was crazy.

He could do that and strikeout everytime to leadoff the game and I'd still be happy.

[jones2510]

lets go campillo

[HTF]

damn, I knew i shouldve stuck with Ichiro for my BTS

[McCarroll21]

Ichiro already has a hit. Woo!

[DRbravesfan29]

get dp Campy cmon!

[HTF]

Please tell me Mark Wegner isnt umping behind the plate this series...Dude is a total douche.

[bbp710]

LAA 2 PHI 0

[McCarroll21]

He'll be behind the plate tomorrow.

[HTF]

He'll be behind the plate tomorrow.

McCann is screwed then, thats the guy that let the pitcher throw the strike with him out of the box.

[HTF]

Nice catch Jeff.

[McCarroll21]

Wow. Jeff actually went all the way back on that ball.

[bbp710]

Bout time Lopez decided to get out!

[jones2510]

nice dp

[bbp710]

Atta boy Gotay, and Camp!

[McCarroll21]

Nice play Gotay! Good job Jorge!

Let's score!

[HTF]

Gotay can go to his right! Nice play. Needs to teach KJ that.

[DRbravesfan29]

W00TTTTTTTTT DP!!!!!!!!

[bbp710]

Alright Blanco get us started off on a good note!

[jones2510]

Lets go blanco yunel

[McCarroll21]

Let's go Gregor! Take some pitches here!

[bbp710]

That was quick...

[DRbravesfan29]

ugh Blanco

[HTF]

who would you rather have for the next 5 years Bedard or Sabathia?

[McCarroll21]

Blah! We need to pull the trigger on a Ryan Freel type of trade to platoon with Blanco in CF and leadoff.

Blanco struggles against lefties and Freel hits them well. I think it'd be a productive platoon out of the leadoff spot.

[josephw000]

We jinxed Goober....

[jones2510]

Lets go chipper!!!!

[McCarroll21]

Well.. at least we have our big homer threat coming up second next inning.

[DRbravesfan29]

Blah! Keep it going Campy!

[MLB1510]

Not getting the game on Time Warner Cable here in SC... been on the phone line 10 minutes calling them... stupid TWC.

[HTF]

Well.. at least we have our big homer threat coming up second next inning.

Infante or McCann?

[bbp710]

Well.. at least we have our big homer threat coming up second next inning.

When did we trade for A-Rod?

[McCarroll21]

I'm glad I don't have problems with PTV games like most of you report.

[HTF]

OHHHH!!!!!!! What a play!!!!

[McCarroll21]

Woo! Omar!

[jones2510]

wow omar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bbp710]

Holy dang! :)

[GrandMasterB]

Well.. at least we have our big homer threat coming up second next inning.

Woo! Willie Har... err, Omar!

[DRbravesfan29]

WooT INFANTE!!

[brnt247]

HOLY HELL

[McCarroll21]

There you go Willie ... and he can even hit a little.

[brnt247]

Willie Harris!

[josephw000]

Did Omar go up and over to grab that? Gamecast showed it was gone...

[bbp710]

He may not hit in any runs tonight, but he just saved us one.

[McCarroll21]

Did Omar go up and over to grab that? Gamecast showed it was gone...
Yeah. He Willie Harris'd it.

[GrandMasterB]

Note to Richie: You're 10 freakin' feet tall. If it's over the plate, it's a strike.

[bbp710]

Did Omar go up and over to grab that? Gamecast showed it was gone...

Yeah, he robbed Beltre of a HR.

[McCarroll21]

He may not hit in any runs tonight, but he just saved us one.
If we get the guys on for him, he'll come through with a big hit sometime. He always seems to come through in the clutch.

[HTF]

He may not hit in any runs tonight, but he just saved us one.

I wouldn't say that, he's one of the clutchest players we have.

[DRbravesfan29]

Nice inning Campy!

[McCarroll21]

LOL! That was as anti-climatic of a robbed homer you'll ever see.

Wake up people!

[bbp710]

If we get the guys on for him, he'll come through with a big hit sometime. He always seems to come through in the clutch.

Yeah, I will have to give him that, that he is pretty clutch.

[jones2510]

lets go tex

[McCarroll21]

So... I wonder if Teixeira ever wants to hit the ball with some authority again?

[bbp710]

So... I wonder if Teixeira ever wants to hit the ball with some authority again?

I am starting to get the feeling that he isn't going to.

[josephw000]

So... I wonder if Teixeira ever wants to hit the ball with some authority again?


Thats the spirit Mc!!!

[ScottK]

Not getting the game on Time Warner Cable here in SC... been on the phone line 10 minutes calling them... stupid TWC.
Same here, what did they say?

[GrandMasterB]

Infante for MVP.

[jones2510]

nice omar lets go brian

[BravesfaninNC]

Great AB Omar let's go Cann

[DRbravesfan29]

Nice Omah! Lets go Cann!!

[McCarroll21]

That was a nice graphic. Top three left handed hitters vs. LHP; two of them are Braves.

[HTF]

same pitch to Blanco...

[BravesfaninNC]

Franchey need a new Song

[bbp710]

Well...Bedard is on the market. What would it take to get him?

[McCarroll21]

Woo! Everyone cheer for Francoeur so he can ground out to short!

[McCarroll21]

Woo! Everyone cheer for Francoeur so he can ground out to short!
..or third.

[HTF]

Well...Bedard is on the market. What would it take to get him?

MLB ready talent...

[BravesfaninNC]

Woo! Everyone cheer for Francoeur so he can ground out to short!i think it time for you to admit that you hate Franchey:nod:

[GrandMasterB]

Well...Bedard is on the market. What would it take to get him?

Considering all they gave up to get him, they better get the same amount back. Otherwise, they're even dumber than I thought.

[HTF]

i think it time for you to admit that you hate Franchey:nod:

He's not the only one. I'd join that fan group.

[BravesfaninNC]

nice Catch

[DRbravesfan29]

Bah! Keep it going Campy

[GrandMasterB]

What the... I think they need to hit Bedard cleanup.

[HTF]

nice play by Gotay

[BravesfaninNC]

Woot a play by the Gota

[McCarroll21]

i think it time for you to admit that you hate Franchey:nod:
I thought I did that a long time ago.

[McCarroll21]

Go Home JJ!

[BravesfaninNC]

I thought I did that a long time ago.So just wondering do you have something personal against him?

[jones2510]

lets go gotay

[McCarroll21]

So just wondering do you have something personal against him?
He ran over my dog with a go-kart when we were 12.

[HTF]

Dang Gotay sucks Right handed

[BravesfaninNC]

He ran over my dog with a go-kart when we were 12.
so you used to live in GA before moveing to Ark ?

[McCarroll21]

Well, thankfully I'm not filling out the lineup card. Infante in LF has already paid off; Gotay at 2B has paid off .. and that's not to mention they've gotten our only two hits.

[BravesfaninNC]

Great ab let's go Compy

[josephw000]

I like that Gotay kid :)

[McCarroll21]

so you used to live in GA before moveing to Ark ?
Yeah. I had to move away from Jeff because he never said that he was sorry for killing my dog.

[McCarroll21]

Show those guns, Jorge!

[jones2510]

lets go blanco

[bbp710]

Tough luck! I like the call, though.

[BravesfaninNC]

Yeah. I had to move away from Jeff because he never said that he was sorry for killing my dog.K sorry had no idea.Thought you hate him because he is not having a great season so far

[josephw000]

Campillo was swining for the fences?

[ScottK]

Not getting the game on Time Warner Cable here in SC... been on the phone line 10 minutes calling them... stupid TWC.
Well, the game finally came on just now.

On the same topic though, when they do the slow-motion replays on Peachtree TV, does it freeze and lock up for you too (always screwing it up where you can not see the play)?

[BravesfaninNC]

Campillo was swining for the fences?Yep.Campillo is not a bad hitter

[BravesfaninNC]

what so new about PTV?

[HTF]

Bedard either hurt or traded?

[HTF]

Huge break now, we have to take advantage.

[McCarroll21]

Another example of Blanco loafing in center costing us a base.

I’m thinking that Francoeur’s struggles might stem from the fact that he’s coming to bat most of the time with Bon Jovi’s “Shot Through The Heart” playing.
I mean, really, that’s tough for anyone to overcome.

[HTF]

huh?

another pitcher warming up, and they showed Bedard walk down to the clubhouse hurt.

[McCarroll21]

huh?
He headed to the tunnel and they have someone warming pretty quickly in the pen.

Damn word? That may be a good break for us.

[jones2510]

alright one more campillo

[HTF]

Damn word? That may be a good break for us.

Yeah it's a huge break, we have to take advantage.

[BravesfaninNC]

Fine not a bad idea

[josephw000]

Yeah it's a huge break, we have to take advantage.

A quicker inning woulda been great but Campillo is pitching around the hole world.

[jones2510]

come on campillo

[BravesfaninNC]

Come on Campillo throw a strike

[HTF]

A quicker inning woulda been great but Campillo is pitching around the hole world.

Pitching around a known HR hitter to get to a rookie hitting .157 isn't a bad idea.

[BravesfaninNC]

Woot

[jones2510]

Lets get some runs

[DRbravesfan29]

Lets get some RUNS!!!

[HTF]

It's a shame what happened to Jose Vidro, IMO he used to be the best 2B in the game.

[bbp710]

Ervin Santana is bringing the heat tonight vs the Phillies. He is throwing 97 about every time. He just struck out the side.

[BravesfaninNC]

O my did Skip did he not say that Red leading the Mets 4-1?

[bbp710]

I guess he hasn't noticed it yet, but it is CIN-NYY, not CIN-NYM.

[BravesfaninNC]

I guess he hasn't noticed it yet, but it is CIN-NYY, not CIN-NYM.
:nod:

[BravesfaninNC]

I guess he hasn't noticed it yet, but it is CIN-NYY, not CIN-NYM. and during the TV brake at the end of Top 1 he ask can we go home

[bbp710]

:nod:

But, who cares. Long as a NY team is losing. :)

[jones2510]

lets go chipper

[McCarroll21]

It's a shame what happened to Jose Vidro, IMO he used to be the best 2B in the game.
Years of playing on that turf in Montreal got him. Same is happening with Vlad now too.

[GrandMasterB]

Hey, Chipper, you're due for a hit. How about it? :)

[bbp710]

Chipper is in a slump. A couple of weeks ago, he was killing that.

[BravesfaninNC]

Great Ab Chipper

[GrandMasterB]

I guess a walk works, too.

[McCarroll21]

Good job Larry. How bout you do something this time Andruw?

[jones2510]

lets go mark

[bbp710]

Good job Larry. How bout you do something this time Andruw?

Tex-"Who cares, my agent is the best, and I am going to get atleast 20 million a year..."

[McCarroll21]

You know, in light of Wang's story, I wonder if Bedard hurt his oblique swinging the bat? Then went out to pitch and tweaked it even more.

[BravesfaninNC]

Great Ab Tex let's go Omar

[McCarroll21]

Woo! Let's go O! Get the big hit for us inthe 4th inning!

[HTF]

Oh yes, its Omar time.

[jones2510]

:chop:

[DRbravesfan29]

Woo..Cmon Omah!

[BravesfaninNC]

Omar for MVP woooooot

[jones2510]

woot!!!! omar

[HTF]

Beast! We found a cleanup hitter....

[McCarroll21]

Woo! Atta baby O! He's been a huge pickup for us. That Ascanio for Ohman/Infante deal is looking pretty good!

[GrandMasterB]

Omar Infante rules!

[DRbravesfan29]

WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!OMAH OMAH OMAH!!

[bbp710]

Atta boy Omarrrr!

[GrandMasterB]

Bases loaded for the dog killer. :(

[bbp710]

O great! Chipper getting checked on by the trainer.

[DRbravesfan29]

Tex is slow as a camel...

[BravesfaninNC]

Let's go Jeff get Tex and Omar home

[McCarroll21]

LOL! I'd have liked to see how much Ichiro would have thrown out Teixeira at the plate.

[HTF]

LMFAO had to load the bases for him didn't you.

[bbp710]

Just who I want coming up with the bases loaded. I am not kidding...

[jones2510]

nice brian

[GrandMasterB]

Beast! We found a cleanup hitter....

Yeah! Might as well. He's hit everywhere else in his career.

[BravesfaninNC]

LMFAO had to load the bases for him didn't you.
He is do for a big Hit :nod:

[DRbravesfan29]

Please dont lineout for a triple play

[jones2510]

[HTF]

Please dont lineout for a triple play

That would be a trick beyond the realm...

[GrandMasterB]

Please dont lineout for a triple play

We get four outs in this inning? Sweet!

[McCarroll21]

He is do for a big Hit :nod:
Three months ago.

[BravesfaninNC]

Please dont lineout for a triple playHow can you hit into a triple play when there is 1out :confused:

[bbp710]

Please dont lineout for a triple play

Already one out.

[McCarroll21]

LOL! Sorry... just made me laugh.

[DRbravesfan29]

Jesus...

[GrandMasterB]

Raise your hand if you didn't see that one coming.

[BravesfaninNC]

just a stupid ab

[BravesfaninNC]

Raise your hand if you didn't see that one coming.:nod:

[HTF]

LOL! Sorry... just made me laugh.

same here, its hilarious at this point

[bbp710]

"Lose an Andruw, gain an Andruw..." - Chipper Jones

[GrandMasterB]

Well, the good news is, the real hitters got us a run in that inning. Hopefully, Jorge Maddux can continue to shut them down.

[BravesfaninNC]

Franchey is just Franchey he will have a great game when he will get a big base hit.Or hit a big HR's.At the some time he will strike or pop up or hit into a killer DP.You take the good and the bad

[McCarroll21]

same here, its hilarious at this point
It wouldn't be so bad if you didn't know it was coming before he even had his name announced.

[DRbravesfan29]

thank you blanco..

[HTF]

I don't know what's funnier, Blanco's Defense or Francoeur's offense.

[McCarroll21]

Franchey is just Franchey he will have a great game when he will get a big base hit.Or hit a big HR's.At the some time he will strike or pop up or hit into a killer DP.You take the good and the bad
LOL! Is that it? Take the good with the bad? When will he show us the good?

[BravesfaninNC]

come on Campillo you have the lead don't give it right back

[cjones1999]

Let's go Jorge!

[bbp710]

I know this is killing Francoeur. I think most of it now is mental.

[GrandMasterB]

I don't know what's funnier, Blanco's Defense or Francoeur's offense.

The defense. At least with it, you don't always know what's gonna happen.

[jones2510]

come on campillo

[McCarroll21]

I don't know what's funnier, Blanco's Defense or Francoeur's offense.
Francoeur's defense.

[BravesfaninNC]

LOL! Is that it? Take the good with the bad? When will he show us the good? The 2nd Texas game top 9 you must have forgot that

[BravesfaninNC]

Now Dp please

[HTF]

The defense. At least with it, you don't always know what's gonna happen.

True its like opening a Crackerjack box, you're always surprised, but the prizes always suck.

[McCarroll21]

The 2nd Texas game top 9 you must have forgot that
Ahh! Tapping a roller 30 feet and the pitcher making an error is the good for Francoeur?

[GrandMasterB]

Ahh! Tapping a roller 30 feet and the pitcher making an error is the good for Francoeur?

:lol:

Now, that's clutch!

[BravesfaninNC]

Ahh! Tapping a roller 30 feet and the pitcher making an error is the good for Francoeur? If he take his time then he is out.He head a good road trip.Better road trip then Kelly or Tex:nod:

[jones2510]

Woot!!!

[HTF]

Wow, can't talk bad about his defense!

[GrandMasterB]

And that, folks, is how you become the worst team in the major leagues.

[McCarroll21]

Woo! Teixeira at least doing it defensively tonight.

[BravesfaninNC]

Our defensive has been great tonight

[bbp710]

While Chipper was walking off the field, he was talking to Brian McCann. "Dude, you got to teach your buddy how to start hitting again, he is killing us."

[GrandMasterB]

Angels up, 6-0, over the Phillies in the 6th.

[McCarroll21]

Gotay switched around to his better side!

[BravesfaninNC]

Woot Gotay

[bbp710]

Gotay 2 for 2. Bunt him over Camp.

[HTF]

platoon...:D

[GrandMasterB]

Our two left fielders may never start again if Infante and Gotay keep this up.

[BravesfaninNC]

Let him hit Bobby

[McCarroll21]

Get it down, Jorge!

[BravesfaninNC]

Good Bunt woot

[HTF]

finally! a sac bunt

[McCarroll21]

Good job, Jorge! Let's go Gregor!

[GrandMasterB]

Good job, Camp. Alright, Gregor, have about a 20-pitch at-bat and wear him out for Escobar!

[McCarroll21]

Damn! Now Blanco has to face a lefty ... and a pretty nasty one at that.

[HTF]

Bunt for a hit time, Sexton is not a good defensive 1B.

[JCStone7]

Do work GGH

[bbp710]

A perfect bunt would surprise them.

[McCarroll21]

Bunt for a hit time, Sexton is not a good defensive 1B.
But he could lay down with his foot on the bag and reach all the way to pitcher's mound.

[BravesfaninNC]

Let's go Esco

[HTF]

That fastball right down the middle is his weak zone.

[McCarroll21]

Quickly pull the trigger on something for Freel!

[JCStone7]

Quickly pull the trigger on something for Freel!

And his alter-ego
