The 22-year-old right-hander joined the Tigers' rotation in mid-August last season, and he made seven starts before the season closed.

A year ago, Gorzelanny followed a shaky spring by jumping out to start the season 3-0 with a 2.05 ERA.

The lefty has made just one other start against the Braves in his career, that came at Turner Field last season. Gorzelanny didn't factor in the decision, allowing four runs on six hits in six innings. He did, however, show to be a quick starter in his first full season in the big leagues a year ago. In the first two months of the 2007 season, Gorzelanny went 6-3 with a 2.39 ERA.</td></tr></tbody></table><table class="tborder" border="0" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" width="500"><tbody><tr><td class="tcat" colspan="4" align="center"><strong>AccuScore Game Forecast</strong></td></tr><tr><td class="smallfont" align="center" bgcolor="#e3e3e3"><script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript"><!-- var f0=new flashObj(); f0.flashFile="http://assets.espn.go.com/swf/mlb/accuscore_mlb.swf"; f0.flashVars="&XMLURL=http://espn.go.com/mlb/accuscore/280402115.xml"; f0.ID = "as_280402115"; f0.width = "480"; f0.height = "320"; f0.DenyIEdl = "TRUE"; f0.FlashVer = 7; f0.cabVersion = "7,0,0,0"; f0.altTxt = "Flash Player Required"; f0.render(true); // --></script><embed src="http://assets.espn.go.com/swf/mlb/accuscore_mlb.swf" swliveconnect="FALSE" quality="best" scale="exactfit" flashvars="&XMLURL=http://espn.go.com/mlb/accuscore/280402115.xml" wmode="opaque" id="as_280402115" name="flash3" menu="false" devicefont="false" salign="lt" allowscriptaccess="Always" allownetworking="All" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" height="320" width="480"></td></tr></tbody></table>

:clap::gobraves:

[vnodnarb]

I'd rather swap Kotsay and Prado.

[McCarroll21]

I'd rather swap Kotsay and Prado.
Same, but in reality I'm not sure if it'll matter. I know we talk about him a lot, but Prado isn't THAT bad of an option to have as a substitute. He's better suited as this than a pinch hitter.

[Chopin_Mets]

I'd rather swap Kotsay and Prado.

Yeah, I'm pretty much with ya. I'da gone with:

Esco
Kotsay
Jones
Tex
French
Mac
Diaz
Prado

[GrandMasterB]

Let's hope that offense can get going tonight. Only scoring 11 runs is just not acceptable!

[JCStone7]

:woot: Jair!!

[MSU Bulldog]

I hope I don't get screwed out of this game by hockey or basketball.

[PhantomsCV]

Let's hope that offense can get going tonight. Only scoring 11 runs is just not acceptable!

an offense that scores 11 runs is PATHETIC!:)

[PhantomsCV]

So are you at the game again Chopin?

[gobravez]

:woot: Jair!!

:nod:

Anybody know what time Braves live comes on?

[McCarroll21]

:nod:

Anybody know what time Braves live comes on?
6:30 ET/5:30 CT

[vnodnarb]

I wonder if KJ is available for pinch hitting tonight, I would think he would be.

[McCarroll21]

I wonder if KJ is available for pinch hitting tonight, I would think he would be.
I would think so, as well. I think his problem is just a minor one and they're going to rest him against these two left handers and the off day yesterday to give it time to calm down some.

[gobravez]

6:30 ET/5:30 CT

I couldn't remember if it was an hour long or 30 minutes. Thanks, Mac. :)

[BraveMan]

anyone have a sopcast link?

[BGarrett7]

Ugh. Why is Martyr hitting leadoff instead of Esco? He's averaging almost five pitches per plate appearances, where's the love?

[BraveMan]

since it is a lefty pitching for the pirates kotsay won't bat 1 or 2, i might have gone escobar leadoff with diaz second.

[McCarroll21]

Pedro to DL (http://weblogs.newsday.com/sports/baseball/mets/blog/2008/04/its_official_pedro_on_the_dl.html)

BraveMan, if you need a SopCast link, go get one. It's on the internet, the link has been posted to http://www.myp2p.eu/ over and over again. It's not our job to make everything easy on you.

What happened to that mlb.tv subscription you claimed to have anyway?

[InBobbyItrust]

My first game thread on this forum! Hope it's a good one.

[brnt247]

mlb.tv Mosaic is sick.... 6 games at one time.

[BGarrett7]

since it is a lefty pitching for the pirates kotsay won't bat 1 or 2 ...Despite the fact Kots splits against RHP and LHP are nearly identical to each other. The only real difference is a higher K rate against lefties and a slightly higher XBH rate against righties, neither of which is horribly crippling, however.

[McCarroll21]

My first game thread on this forum! Hope it's a good one.
Same to you!

Cheers! :beer:

[BravesfaninNC]

it will be very inserting to see if we are going to get the Braves or the the huge Hurricanes game ?Here hopeing that will get the huge Hurricanes game at 7PM at get the Braves game at 11:30

[BravesfaninNC]

My first game thread on this forum! Hope it's a good one.welcome to the best braves board on the internet
:)

[DRbravesfan29]

GO JAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bravesflag1:

[gobravez]

anyone have a sopcast link?

I just read that sopcast has banned mlb games, why IDK..... you will have to download a program called tvants. click here (http://www.myp2pforum.eu/mlb/18191-mlb-today-april-2nd-streaming.html) for more info.

[josephw000]

What happened to the channelsurfing website?? They were supposed to have MLB games?

Damn, why did sopcast banned mlb games.... anyways i have TVants but in Sopcast i had a pretty good quality

[DRbravesfan29]

What happened to the channelsurfing website?? They were supposed to have MLB games?

Nah i think they only did 2 or 3 days of Spring Training Games and that was it.:mad:

[BGarrett7]

What happened to the channelsurfing website?? They were supposed to have MLB games?To be fair, no one ever said channelsurfing would definitely have MLB games.

[Chopin_Mets]

Damn, why did sopcast banned mlb games.... anyways i have TVants but in Sopcast i had a pretty good quality

Because all of those (MLB online streams) are illegal...the more you talk about them, the more opportunities MLB will have to spot them.

[McCarroll21]

What happened to the channelsurfing website?? They were supposed to have MLB games?
The fact that MLB is so strict on their policies may have put the hammer down on that.

[josephw000]

The fact that MLB is so strict on their policies may have put the hammer down on that.


Well crap...

MLB.tv is a pretty affordable option, at 19.99 a month I get 1.2 meg picture but they have smaller plans as well. I get every game except Saturday afternoon games of course.

[gobravez]

Damn, why did sopcast banned mlb games.... anyways i have TVants but in Sopcast i had a pretty good quality

i have a feeling that the p2p streaming world is going down. I hate TVants, Sopcast was good.

[josephw000]

SOP cast was the ish. I have satellite for PC at home, but thats probably about to go under too.

[Eagles365]

http://www.myp2p.eu/
That one had the Braves game Monday, but the stream went down at some point in the extra innings. I think it was a direct stream from mlb.tv, so it was really good quality. Doesn't look like they have the game tonight though.

[BGarrett7]

I think it was a direct stream from mlb.tv, so it was really good quality.Sounds right, if I recall correctly, there was a few posters watching the game on MLB.tv who lost the feed.

[Los Bravos]

I've been looking forward to seeing Jair on the mound with a tomahawk since the trade.

I think I'll get the Braves crew tonight, which will help clense the Miller and Walk aural poison from my system.

[brnt247]

Sounds right, if I recall correctly, there was a few posters watching the game on MLB.tv who lost the feed.

Maybe others did, but I sure didn't.

[Chopin_Mets]

Its a beautiful night at the ballpark folks! Jair hit two rockets during BP. One hit the base of the wall in left.

For those of you who can't see Braves Live...Mike Hampton, while talking to Katie, said on a scale of 1-10 how excited is he about the opportunity to prove the critics wrong? He said, "35". I'm looking forward to seeing him tomorrow.

[McCarroll21]

Okay... enough about the streams. Find one or pay for it through mlb.tv/Extra Innings. Moving on to the actual game...

[sgabrave]

Even when KJohnson is healthy, I would rather have Yunel hitting leadoff and KJ second.

[JCStone7]

In which Jair is about to dominate! :beer:

Dude you go to the games with your laptop? Thats cool as hell

[Macquiao]

LOOKS LIKE A CHUMP TO ME! :D

[josephw000]

Even when KJohnson is healthy, I would rather have Yunel hitting leadoff and KJ second.


I wouldn't personally, I like Yunel second, KJ is a little more patient, sometimes too patient. But either way really its a good 1-2

[Chopin_Mets]

Dude you go to the games with your laptop? Thats cool as hell

I do enjoy it, but I am working too.

[brnt247]

Looks like someone who managed to win 14 games with the Pirates.

[BGarrett7]

Even when KJohnson is healthy, I would rather have Yunel hitting leadoff and KJ second.Give me Kage (http://www.braves-nation.com/forums/showpost.php?p=160407&postcount=20).

[gobravez]

maybe we shouldn't be posting streams on here anymore... ya know? PM me or something instead and I can point you to a link to where you can find the games daily. We don't want to get B-N in trouble for providing a link as MLB has seemed to crack down.

Are you going to every home game?

[McCarroll21]

This game needs to hurry up and start!

[PhantomsCV]

This game needs to hurry up and start!

About 5 minutes:D

Anyone else's sound messed up?

no...

Just you! lol What channel are you on? You're DTV, right?

Just you! lol What channel are you on? You're DTV, right?

DTV yes getting the FSN feed.

[Chopin_Mets]

Are you going to every home game?
No, not all of them, but most of them

[IMissJorgeSosa]

1st win of the season happens tonight.

[jones2510]

Lets go Braves!!


:chop:

[McCarroll21]

DTV yes getting the FSN feed.
If you're not on 630 or 630-1 (HD) try flipping it over there. Is it just the channel you're on or others too?

[PhantomsCV]

No, not all of them, but most of them

Why does no one come to our games???????????? I just don't understand. If 1.2% of the population of Atlanta came to the games, we'd sell out. That's just Atlanta. There are cities, like Macon, within driving distance. I just don't get it. We couldn't even sell out the opener.

[JCStone7]

All the other MLB EI feeds sound fine, just the Braves are messed up.

TBS is cheaper and spoiled most of us. I'm sure some fans don't even know that TBS doesn't carry the games anymore....or about peachtree

[DRbravesfan29]

Chief is there tonight :)

I'd definitely be there for my share if I lived closer than 7 1/2 hours away.

Is there a new echo feature on vBulletin that I'm unaware of?

[McCarroll21]

Where is Chief sitting?
Don't know... last I heard he was bitching about Atlanta's traffic. :)

[vnodnarb]

Get the leading lady Jair. KJ is available for pinch hitting...good to hear.

[BGarrett7]

Gotta hurry there, Martyr.

[JCStone7]

w00t got the groundball going!

[McCarroll21]

Is there a new echo feature on vBulletin that I'm unaware of?
At least we got the apostrophe in there. That's better than the sculptor of the Ernie Banks statue could do on "Let's Play Two!"

[PhantomsCV]

Don't know... last I heard he was bitching about Atlanta's traffic. :)

Am I the only one who likes Atlanta traffic????

7 lanes of highway.. NO PROBLEM!

[BGarrett7]

So, I think Sciambi and Joe want us to be aware of the fact that Double J isn't afraid to pitch to contact...

[JCStone7]

7 lanes of highway.. NO PROBLEM!Yeah, unless it's between 8-10 AM and 4-7 PM.

[JCStone7]

That was a good pitch, just better hit.

[McCarroll21]

Am I the only one who likes Atlanta traffic????

7 lanes of highway.. NO PROBLEM!
I like it and hate it at the same time. Depends on the time of day you arrive.

Get the DP Jair!

[PhantomsCV]

Rally babe already.... :thumbsup:

Rally babe already.... :thumbsup:

She worked in the later part of the games last night. If we can jump on Gorzelanny early he'll be rattled!

[dogmanx23]

this is BS i buy MLB package on comcast and i can't see this game WTF!

[JCStone7]

Martyr!!!!!!!

[McCarroll21]

Rally babe already.... :thumbsup:
Desperate times call for Alba measures.

Nice Martyr! Here comes milbraves!

[GrandMasterB]

So... I think batting Prado leadoff for this game was a good idea. :D

[JCStone7]

this is BS i buy MLB package on comcast and i can't see this game WTF!

Did you check your blackout?

[BravesFan7689]

Did my eyes just deceive me? Did Martin Prado just actually hit a triple?

[PhantomsCV]

MARTYR FOR THE TRIPLE.

Told ya Rally Babe FTW!

[vnodnarb]

MARTYR!!!!!!!!

[gobravez]

http://grof.moy.su/JessicaAlba009.jpg

Let's get this party started right!

Prado agrees!

[JCStone7]

Drive him in Esco!

[lmartin6]

and Prado tells all of us nay-sayers to suck on it on time...

But, I really should expect great things from him, he does have a great first name, after all

[JCStone7]

and Prado tells all of us nay-sayers to suck on it on time...

Given to him by yours truly

[PhantomsCV]

Come on Esco! Got to swing at that!

[JCStone7]

C'mon Larry!

[jones2510]

Lets go chipper!

woot! 1-0 braves

[BGarrett7]

Esco is no Martyr.

Get him in, Larry.

I gotta say it... I hate the "Beach" patch, they would've done much better.

[lmartin6]

Given to him by yours truly

You named him Martin?

[Macquiao]

Did you check your blackout?
It's working on FSN South. One of the channels weren't working for me either.

Anyways, how about Jurrjen's disgusting changeup?

[McCarroll21]

Given to him by yours truly
I think he was referring to Martin, for obvious reasons, rather than Martyr.

[JCStone7]

You named him Martin?

Thought you meant Martyr

[PhantomsCV]

1-0! TY CHIPPER!

[McCarroll21]

Braves win! Braves win!

oh...

[BGarrett7]

Thatta boy, Larry.

[lmartin6]

I think he was referring to Martin, for obvious reasons, rather than Martyr.

ding ding ding, we have a winner

[PhantomsCV]

Rally Babe 1
Pirates 0

[JCStone7]

I think he was referring to Martin, for obvious reasons, rather than Martyr.

Didn't pick up on that :o

WTG Chip!

[F_man8326]

good hit, Chip

[GrandMasterB]

And Chipper Jones still rules.

[dogmanx23]

Did you check your blackout?

i got the game on monday and its listed on the guide but the channel isnt coming up.. imma call and complain im not going to pay so much for this crap to happen all season long..

[vnodnarb]

That makes Alba 3 for 3. Can you say NL MVP?

[McCarroll21]

Same, but in reality I'm not sure if it'll matter. I know we talk about him a lot, but Prado isn't THAT bad of an option to have as a substitute. He's better suited as this than a pinch hitter.Can I get some love for this? 3rd post of the gamethread today.

[lmartin6]

Didn't pick up on that :o

WTG Chip!

It's ok Stoney, you're baffled by my presence actually being in a gamethread and a little off your game. You're forgiven

[PhantomsCV]

Good DP by Buccos. Let's go J Squared!

[McCarroll21]

It's ok Stoney, you're baffled by my presence actually being in a gamethread and a little off your game. You're forgiven
LOL!

Teixeira is a bust. Trade him for that Saltalamacchia kid!

That makes Alba 3 for 3. Can you say NL MVP?
MVB.:nod:

[BGarrett7]

Jair really gets a nice amount of movement on his pitches.

[Chopin_Mets]

Tex is strugglin all around. couldn't dig it out Monday, didn't have a lot of power in BP today. He's just in a funk.

[JCStone7]

I got him covered.

I saw.... Nady is human!

[lmartin6]

Punch Nady out JJ

[McCarroll21]

J²

[vnodnarb]

And I always thought Jair was one syllable.

[Chopin_Mets]

18 strikes - 9 balls

2 to 1: That's the kind of ratio that i like to see!!!!!

[PhantomsCV]

What the hell are Schambi and Joe talking about????

There is a flipping game on!

[BraveMan]

Pedro to DL (http://weblogs.newsday.com/sports/baseball/mets/blog/2008/04/its_official_pedro_on_the_dl.html)

BraveMan, if you need a SopCast link, go get one. It's on the internet, the link has been posted to http://www.myp2p.eu/ over and over again. It's not our job to make everything easy on you.

What happened to that mlb.tv subscription you claimed to have anyway?

what happened to my supscription is that it sucks, i attempt to watch games and a few seconds in it just skips going in and out its like watching slow motion. It is basically little pictures of the game.

[JCStone7]

w00t JJ

[McCarroll21]

That changeup is nasty. If only we signed Jair at 16 instead of telling him he didn't throw hard enough.

[PhantomsCV]

JJ=KK(insert backwards K here)

[Chopin_Mets]

What the hell are Schambi and Joe talking about????

There is a flipping game on!

GAME????? WHERE????

[josephw000]

Jair reminds me a lot of Smoltzie, pure power arm with some off speed stuff. Looking good so far.

[JCStone7]

JJ with the 1-2-3!

[vnodnarb]

You don't like flip books?

[gobravez]

Is Jair eligible for ROY?

[JCStone7]

JJ=KK(insert backwards K here)

Careful there! Don't want Terrence Moore to get the wrong impression......................... again

[JCStone7]

Is Jair eligible for ROY?

:nod: :beer:

[PhantomsCV]

Is Jair eligible for ROY?

I believe so. He only pitched 7 games last year.

[McCarroll21]

I'm anxious for tomorrow's game.

[BraveMan]

put it this way for me that pitch to francouer just took nine seconds from the start of the deliever.

[JCStone7]

I'm anxious for tomorrow's game.

I'm anxious for every game to get started :D

[BGarrett7]

Frenchy working the count and then going oppo... Damn right.

[McCarroll21]

Nice Jeffrey! Double him home Mac!

[MPH]

I'm anxious for tomorrow's game.
Yeah, now that this one's in the bag ... I guess ... :confused:

[JCStone7]

put it this way for me that pitch to francouer just took nine seconds from the start of the deliever.

Well call MLB.TV or contact your Congressman... cuz what do you want us to do?

[PhantomsCV]

Who qualifies as a rookie?

To qualify for the award a player must exceed neither of the following, before the season under consideration:
130 at bats or 50 innings pitched in the major leagues
45 days on the active roster of a major league club (excluding time on the disabled list or any time after rosters are expanded on September 1)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_League_Baseball_Rookie_of_the_Year_Award

Jair only pitched 30.1 last year.

[BGarrett7]

put it this way for me that pitch to francouer just took nine seconds from the start of the deliever.How's your connection (http://www.speedtest.net/)?

[BraveMan]

the problem is this stupid college, where the internet is slow as crap, it was fine at 2 am b/c nobody else was awake.

enough about this and sorry if i've made anyone upset.

go braves.

[JCStone7]

Way to work the count Mac

[lmartin6]

Yeah, college networks that easily get filled to capacity and have certain times (like right now) where the vast majority of it's users are online, tend to be relatively slow.

[BraveMan]

How's your connection (http://www.speedtest.net/)?

what does that mean b/c i have no clue

[PhantomsCV]

Frenchy on 2nd
Mac on 1st

Diaz is up!

[vnodnarb]

Just stay on first Jeff, your base stealing career isn't too impressive.

[McCarroll21]

Yeah, now that this one's in the bag ... I guess ... :confused:
Just want to see Hampton have a chance to pitch in a game that counts.

*knock on wood*

Let's go Matty!!

[JCStone7]

Let's go Hitman M.D.

[PhantomsCV]

Let's go Hitman M.D.

[BraveMan]

Diaz WTF, atleast i saw it.

[dogmanx23]

whats the score since i can't watch this.. Im so pissed they are sending a tech to see why i missing 2 channels from the Package... Comcast is stupid i swear

[lmartin6]

Nothing like getting to enjoy a rare moment of sitting at home by yourself and getting to actually participate in a gamethread with no interruptions, only to be called by your wife and told to go dig a hole in the back yard for a tree she's on her way home with...

[PhantomsCV]

whats the score since i can't watch this.. Im so pissed they are sending a tech to see why i missing 2 channels from the Package... Comcast is stupid i swear

1-0 going to third.

[JCStone7]

Darn! Thought Kotsay just won me some BN bux

[BraveMan]

If my wife told me to do that I would build a bigger hole, just kidding.

[lmartin6]

whats the score since i can't watch this.. Im so pissed they are sending a tech to see why i missing 2 channels from the Package... Comcast is stupid i swear

Yes, yes they are, but I won't complain too bad, because they get the job done for me.

And to answer your question, 1-0 Braves, after 2.

[BGarrett7]

test result: download 1533 upload 1581

what does that mean b/c i have no clueIt means your connection likely has a lot to do with your crappy MLB.tv service.

[lmartin6]

If my wife told me to do that I would build a bigger hole, just kidding.

huh? I'm so lost...

[PhantomsCV]

Jurrgen's Surgeons.

They were high when that figured that one out...

OMFG THAT'S CHIEF!

Guess Chief means Chief of Medicine...

[JCStone7]

Haha PCV!!!

I love it!

[McCarroll21]

Jair is going to make me one happy fan if he keeps up this stuff! 33-0 with a 0.00 ERA should win him the ROY, eh?

[PhantomsCV]

Souvie city!

[josephw000]

JAir is dealing so far

[JCStone7]

Jair is going to make me one happy fan if he keeps up this stuff! 33-0 with a 0.00 ERA should win him the ROY, eh?

No, he'll get screwed like Chipper by Fukudome of course.

[vnodnarb]

Jair is looking nasty so far.

[Corvette]

Tom owes someone a hot dog

[BGarrett7]

If my wife told me to do that I would build a bigger hole, just kidding.Even after a phone call consultation, neither of us can figure out what the hell you're talking about...

[PhantomsCV]

Jair is looking nasty so far.

Ask that blonde hair lady...

(not pissed that McLouth got that, he's on my fantasy team)

[lmartin6]

I can't concentrate on the game...

I'm still lost on building this bigger hole joke...

[JCStone7]

(not pissed that McLouth got that, he's on my fantasy team)

First rule in fantasy.... root for your team before your fantasy team.... MAN LAW?

[BraveMan]

Even after a phone call consultation, neither of us can figure out what the hell you're talking about...

the hole would be for her

[PhantomsCV]

bottom referring to top

[JCStone7]

Leave it to BraveMan to kill someone for asking a favor

[lmartin6]

the hole would be for her

so...I'm supposed to kill my wife just because I have to "build" a hole?

Which, while we're at it, how exactly does one go about "building" a hole?

[PhantomsCV]

First rule in fantasy.... root for your team before your fantasy team.... MAN LAW?

It didn't hurt us so I'm aloud to be happy about the double.

[BraveMan]

It was just a freaking joke, no seriousness behind it.
People take things so literally here.

[JCStone7]

It was just a freaking joke, no seriousness behind it.

And yet you stick around...

[PhantomsCV]

http://www.jsquaredrocks.com/images/jsqauretrs.gif= 3 scoreless (if not more)

[BGarrett7]

People take things so literally here.Alright, how anyone took it has absolutely nothing to do with the "joke" itself... The fact that it made absolutely no sense is the issue at hand.

[lmartin6]

Oh I completely understand it was a joke, and I appreciate a good joke more than anyone around, I promise. But, the key word here is "good"

[BraveMan]

And yet you stick around...


Yes b/c I'm a braves fan and a bad comedian on the side. I like to have fun with everyone here and both theirs and mine expense. No harm was intended.

[McCarroll21]

Boo! Jair was supposed to go deep!

[JCStone7]

Boo! Jair was supposed to go deep!

Send him down!

[PhantomsCV]

Martyr sighting!

[Chopin_Mets]

MAN LAW!!!

Yet, my wife was supposed to be dead...

[DRbravesfan29]

Man, Jurrjens is dealing..:D:D

[JCStone7]

Yet, my wife was supposed to be dead...

And in the ground over a tree

[GrandMasterB]

Alright, let's not dig any deeper into this talking about holes, and let's get back to the game. :)

[PhantomsCV]

Martyr on his way for a cycle. Can you have a walk instead of a single in a cycle?

[BraveMan]

Yet, my wife was supposed to be dead...

first i said if my wife, second of course i don't want your wife dead.

[McCarroll21]

Yet, my wife was supposed to be dead...
LOL!

Let's go Yunel!

[JCStone7]

:lol: GMB!

[GrandMasterB]

Martyr on his way for a cycle. Can you have a walk instead of a single in a cycle?

No. They all have to be hits.

[lmartin6]

Alright, let's not dig any deeper into this talking about holes, and let's get back to the game. :)

As soon as I get explained how to "build" a hole...

[BraveMan]

You think BC will platoon KJ and Prado now?

[McCarroll21]

Martyr on his way for a cycle. Can you have a walk instead of a single in a cycle?
Doesn't that kill the concept of hitting a single, double, triple and homer? I mean, if you walk in place of a single, all you do is just have a good night.

[InBobbyItrust]

What's with calling Prado 'Martyr'?

[JCStone7]

No. They all have to be hits.

Not for Martyr they don't!

[josephw000]

high and inside....

[jonsmoltz]

wow - get home from work and the gamethread has some argument going on about peoples wives, how far we have fallen :P

ANYway - nice to come home and see the braves up, hell - nice to come home to baseball again :D

[BGarrett7]

You think BC will platoon KJ and Prado now?Can myself and LM6 platoon on building this hole?

[PhantomsCV]

What's with calling Prado 'Martyr'?

There is a thread about it.

[PhantomsCV]

Corners for Chip!

[InBobbyItrust]

Nice Yunel! Let's see Chipper clean it up.

[JCStone7]

C'mon Larry.... just like last time and try to find a hole :lol:

[PhantomsCV]

W00T! ANOTHER RBI FOR CHIPPER AND 2-0!

[GrandMasterB]

Chipper for MVP!

[McCarroll21]

Chipper and Martyr have a good thing going...

[InBobbyItrust]

Got the job done. 2-0 Braves. Chipper on pace for 4,365,745 RBI's

[jonsmoltz]

2-0 bravos :)

[JCStone7]

Chipper knocking in Prado x2 FTW!

[DSBraves26]

Yunel came through for me in Beat the Streak :)
