In the 10 starts he's made against them since the start of 2005, Hudson has surrendered just one earned runs seven times. The veteran right-hander has a 1.87 ERA in five career starts at Dolphin Stadium. The only time he surrendered more than one earned run there came on April 25 last year -- during a game he carried a shutout into the ninth inning.</td></tr><tr><td class="thead" align="center"><strong>Mark Hendrickson, FLA</strong></td></tr><tr><td class="smallfont" bgcolor="#e3e3e3">Coming off an economical outing, Hendrickson cruised through seven innings at Washington, allowing one run on three hits. He struck out two, didn't walk a batter, but hit Nick Johnson with a pitch. Still, the left-hander exited after 80 pitches, and provided a much-needed quality start, which eased the stress on the bullpen. Hendrickson has thrown at least five innings in all three of his starts. Lifetime against Atlanta, he is 0-2 with a 4.15 ERA in two games.</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/280416128.xml"; f0.ID = "as_280416128"; 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/280416128.xml" wmode="opaque" id="as_280416128" 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>

W00T GO BRAVES!!!!!

where's the vBookie?

[McCarroll21]

in hiding until we win.

[GrandMasterB]

Alright, Braves, let's score some runs tonight! :clap:

[PhantomsCV]

in hiding until we win.

I wanted to test out my new strategy for a Bravos win!

[Chief Knockahoma]

let's go Bravos! come on Diaz - we're playing your slump buster and you're making me look like an ass!

[McCarroll21]

The Diamondbacks need to hurry up and finish this game off so centsports will have time to settle it. I went all in on the D'backs so until that game gets settled, I'll have nothing to bet with.

[josephw000]

Thank god for baseball...hopefully we DO something this game for Huddy, we cant expect him to shut down everyone forever.

[GrandMasterB]

Nah, they need to give up three runs in the bottom of the ninth and then hit a two-run homer in the tenth so I can win my parlay.

[GrandMasterB]

Thank god for baseball...hopefully we DO something this game for Huddy, we cant expect him to shut down everyone forever.

Nonsense! If there's anyone on the staff we can expect to do that, it's Huddy. :D

[McCarroll21]

Tim Hudson is flat out dominant in Miami.

4-0 in six starts. 2.37 ERA in 39.2 innings.

And who can forget these two starts.

:refuck: Wickman

[vnodnarb]

Ehh. I just used the strategy on centsports.com


I got .24 on the Braves (-1.5).

[PhantomsCV]

I got .24 on the Braves (-1.5).

According to my strategy you should win and I should lose.

[McCarroll21]

SETTLE!

[McCarroll21]

I blame the new stupid song for Braves Live. It shows Diaz getting a hit and Glavine pitching. Curse them!

[PhantomsCV]

yeah mac... that's it.

[PhantomsCV]

Why don't we try putting Yunel first and Kelly 2nd in the batting order??????

[McCarroll21]

:refuck: Wickman
We should bring him back. The Marlins don't have Olivo anymore.

[JCStone7]

We should bring him back. The Marlins don't have Olivo anymore.

:clap: Bobby Cox brand of baseball

[Wren Mafia]

I'm predicting a 3 hit night for Tex

[McCarroll21]

yay! They settled. $0.21 on the Braves to cover.

[PhantomsCV]

Braves Live just did a short little clip of the Braves clubhouse and it had a Wickman jersey in it.

[McCarroll21]

w00t! Glavine's starting Saturday!

[JCStone7]

w00t! Glavine's starting Saturday!

Liar.

----

Soriano feels that he'll be ready to go when eligible, so that's some good news.

[JCStone7]

When is Sori eligible?

[JCStone7]

So since RTS left the Beers to support Huddy, if the Braves lose tonight (which they won't) RTS is the goat

[RockTheShow]

Alright lets not blow this one.

[Chief Knockahoma]

we need some old school help!

Liar.

It's a video clip. PROBABLY FROM LAST YEAR.

I didn't say it was a live clip or a clip from earlier today.

[McCarroll21]

When is Sori eligible?
21st, I believe.

[McCarroll21]

Awesome Chief! That'll surely get us a win tonight!

The Marlins might as well forfeit now. It's over.

[McCarroll21]

Too many jokes from the gamethread legends!

[RockTheShow]

Well he won't. :nod:

[McCarroll21]

Chipper was talking and when he said something about the bullpen, he kind of looked away and said bullpen in a sarcastic manner. He then said so they're not "overexposed," rather than "over worked."

Just thought it was interesting to hear and see his facial expressions in reference to the bullpen.

[McCarroll21]

Huddy will ALWAYS wear the blues on the road!

[Chief Knockahoma]

Huddy will ALWAYS wear the blues on the road!

hopefully BN won't be "wearing the blues" after tonight's game!

[gobravez]

Let's go Braves!!

[boof1027]

hopefully BN won't be "wearing the blues" after tonight's game!

:rimshot:

"el oh el"


:clap: well played

[jones2510]

lets go braves!


:bravesflag2:

[JCStone7]

Huddy will ALWAYS wear the blues on the road!

:woot: That's awesome!

[McCarroll21]

Are the bench players working on their hand shakes? Jurrjens and Prado are working on that "pinch run" shake.

[JCStone7]

All 12 Marlin fans showed up :woot:

[McCarroll21]

Alright boys! Let's do the damn thing!

[JCStone7]

Let's go Kage!

[Chief Knockahoma]

let's go KJ!

[GrandMasterB]

Are the bench players working on their hand shakes? Jurrjens and Prado are working on that "pinch run" shake.

Someone has to provide the excitement in baseball with Jose Reyes toning it down (or so he says) this year.

[JCStone7]

Ugh... c'mon Esco!

[jones2510]

lets go yunel

[BGarrett7]

Word of advice, Martyr: Having some nifty handshake doesn't make you Jose Reyes, regardless of what a certain BN poster may think of you.

Way to go up there and take some pitches, Kage.

[McCarroll21]

Blah! I was hoping Kelly's night last night was a sign of things. Maybe it will be by the end of the night.

Let's go Yunel!

[JCStone7]

Take your time Hanley.... let's go Larry!

[BGarrett7]

Take your time Hanley.... Well, if players would hustle down the line, he wouldn't be able to.

[McCarroll21]

Well... that was quick.

[JCStone7]

Well, if players would hustle down the line, he wouldn't be able to.

Tis the truth

Do it Huddy

[BGarrett7]

Leave it up to the Braves to make Mark Hendrickson look like Brandon Webb.

[JCStone7]

Leave it up to the Braves to make Mark Hendrickson look like Brandon Webb.

Hey gotta wait until the bats wake up... 6th inning or so

[JCStone7]

Nice stab Chip

[jones2510]

nice play chipper

[McCarroll21]

Righties are now 3-35 against Huddy this year. Nice.

[GrandMasterB]

Leave it up to the Braves to make Mark Hendrickson look like Brandon Webb.

One inning. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every so often.

[JCStone7]

Kotsay would've caught that... oh wait he did :D

[Chief Knockahoma]

let's go Braves.

[JCStone7]

Blast one Teix!

[Chief Knockahoma]

let's go Mark

[BGarrett7]

OBP of Braves hitters leading off an inning: .193

Braves OPS first time through the lineup: .685
Braves OPS second time through the lineup: .630

[JCStone7]

C'mon Frenchy!!!

[Chief Knockahoma]

let's go Gold Glover.

[Chief Knockahoma]

that'll work.

[JCStone7]

:woot: double!!!

C'mon Heap!

[McCarroll21]

OBP of Braves hitters leading off an inning: .193

Braves OPS first time through the lineup: .685
Braves OPS second time through the lineup: .630
And the Tigers are 20th in the majors in team OPS. Point? It's still too early to put too much emphasis on stats.

[BGarrett7]

One inning. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every so often.Odalis Perez.

Aaron Cook.

Scott Olsen.

The Braves are turning blind squirrels into Ray Charles.

[vnodnarb]

Way to crush it Jeff!

[GrandMasterB]

And with that bloop double, the Braves have more extra-base hits in this game than they did all last night.

[JCStone7]

Let's Dee-azz!

[Chief Knockahoma]

let's go Diaz!

[McCarroll21]

Let's Dee-azz!
I thought it was De-Ass?

[Chief Knockahoma]

1 - 0 Bravos!

[JCStone7]

I thought it was De-Ass?

Alright, that works.

:woot: De-Ass

[GrandMasterB]

That'll do! There ya go, Huddy. You got your lead.

[Chief Knockahoma]

way to just sit there and let the ball get away stupid.

[JCStone7]

Do it Huddy!

[McCarroll21]

Let's go Timmy! Make 'em pay!

[Chief Knockahoma]

let's go Huddy!

[RockTheShow]

I don't think we really deserved a run there, by I'm not complaining.

[McCarroll21]

http://7summits.com/forum/avatars/South%20Park/timmy.jpg

[JCStone7]

I don't think we really deserved a run there, by I'm not complaining.

It was unearned... feel better :lol:

[BGarrett7]

It's still too early to put too much emphasis on stats.Am I using these stats as some sort of indicator of future production? No. I posted them for what they are, a key to understanding just where and why the Braves offense is currently struggling.

[McCarroll21]

Woo! Go Timmy!

[McCarroll21]

Am I using these stats as some sort of indicator of future production? No. I posted them for what they are, a key to understanding just where and why the Braves offense is currently struggling.
Oh.. because based on your other posts in the thread so far I thought you were just looking for something to bitch about tonight.

[Chief Knockahoma]

alright Tim.

you got some Mighty Horse tonight, i have the 80's HotD picked out, and Francoeur and Diaz got you a lead - shut down the fish!

[McCarroll21]

Make it stand Huddy! Let's return the favor from last night and give them a 4-0 shutout of our own.

[RockTheShow]

Diaz runs funny.

[JCStone7]

Willingham is on my fantasy team and damn he's raking this series

[Chief Knockahoma]

good job Joe Simpson.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/turnersports/images/simpson_lrg.jpg

[JCStone7]

So ummm K please

[RockTheShow]

Good thing Huddy is a ground ball pitcher...

[jones2510]

lets go hudson

[JCStone7]

DP HERE!

[McCarroll21]

Why pull the infield in with a 1-0 lead in the 2nd inning?

[Chief Knockahoma]

::sigh::

[BGarrett7]

Gotta keep it low in the zone, Huddy.

[josephw000]

Shit... :(

[BGarrett7]

Why pull the infield in with a 1-0 lead in the 2nd inning?Wouldn't have mattered after that one.

[JCStone7]

Caught a break... get out of it Huddy

[josephw000]

shit.... :(

[Chief Knockahoma]

come on Huddy.

[BGarrett7]

Way to keep your head in the game, Jorge.

[McCarroll21]

Come with the Maddux!

[RockTheShow]

Get a DP, come on.

[Chief Knockahoma]

awesome.

[BGarrett7]

Huddy is just nowhere near tonight, looks like it could be another long night for the bullpen.

[RockTheShow]

Wow he is tall, omg.

[McCarroll21]

Wow he is tall, omg.
Well... 6'9" is 6'9".

See if you can find Hendrickson in this picture.

http://www.geocities.com/mjlove9697/love9697/9697ClippersLanceHendrickson.jpg

[JCStone7]

:woot: K... get Hanley!

[RockTheShow]

Here comes Hanley.

[SCchief]

nice K Huddy, lets get one more

[BGarrett7]

Hanley Ramirez is very quickly becoming one of those guys I would not want at the plate in any circumstance.

[Chief Knockahoma]

nice pitch Tim.

[Chief Knockahoma]

yup. that sucks.

[RockTheShow]

Damn, this is making me look bad.

[SCchief]

I hate Hanley, something about shortstops that always cause thorns in our sides

[BGarrett7]

See if you can find Hendrickson in this picture.I much prefer the rare shot of Bison Dele with the Bulls in the background. :)

[jones2510]

ugh

[SCchief]

Got to throw that one

[RockTheShow]

Not looking so good...

[josephw000]

...Shit again, holy cow this sucks, we get a lead for once and the one guy who doesn't give up anything, give it up....things cant go our way right now.....

[Chief Knockahoma]

the blue alternate jerseys suck.

[JCStone7]

33 pitches so far in the 2nd for Huddy

[SCchief]

The more they keep talking about it the way Huddy was in his first 2 starts is only making tonight worse

[josephw000]

O lord, Hudson is everywhere....

[McCarroll21]

Wow... I'm not sure how we got that call with Huddy being all over the place.

[SCchief]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!11111

[JCStone7]

So Huddy has given up more than Jair did last night...

[McCarroll21]

Alright! Gonna have to do some work for my centsports account to be happy.

Let's go offense!

[GrandMasterB]

Well, that lead didn't last too long. Hopefully the top of the order can get something going for us.

[BGarrett7]

I hate Hanley, something about shortstops that always cause thorns in our sidesWell, you've got Rollins, Reyes, Drew, Hanley, Tulo and Hardy in the NL alone...

[SCchief]

NEED A 4 RUN INNING RIGHT HERE

[Chief Knockahoma]

do it KJ

[josephw000]

Well, you've got Rollins, Reyes, Drew, Hanley, Tulo and Hardy in the NL alone...

Ugh....don't remind me....

so far, all pains in our ass.....

[Chief Knockahoma]

let's go Yunel

[BGarrett7]

Another out to start the inning...

[SCchief]

Braves offense needs to wake up......WAY TO GO ESCO_BAR

[josephw000]

Ugh Kelly, stop striking out dude....

[JCStone7]

I'm glad we're out-blooping the Marlins...

Let's go Chipper drive one in a gap

[McCarroll21]

Good job Yunel! Let's go Larry!

[Chief Knockahoma]

Amezaga went to the Francoeur School of Defense

:D

[Chief Knockahoma]

do it Larry

[josephw000]

Yunel is 4-4 on this dude....

[SCchief]

way to go Chipah

[JCStone7]

Let's go Teixeira!

[BGarrett7]

Excellent job of going oppo there, Larry.

[McCarroll21]

w00t! Put us back on top Teix!

[jones2510]

lets go tex get those runs in! :(

[Chief Knockahoma]

let's go Mark

[GrandMasterB]

And now Chipper has reached base safely in all 14 games this season. :clap:

C'mon, Tex, get those runs in!

EDIT: Yeah, just like that.

[Chief Knockahoma]

Teixeira with the Andruw Jones Special!

[SCchief]

Great!!!!!!!!!!

[McCarroll21]

Woo! The offense is smokin!

[JCStone7]

Yup... another slugger swinging for a contract these days eh

[dogmanx23]

Teix needs to wake the hell up already... come on braves!

[BGarrett7]

That sucked, Tex.

[GrandMasterB]

Yup... another slugger swinging for a contract these days eh

No worse than he started last season. He's just a slow starter, whereas Andruw is just slow period. :)

[McCarroll21]

Let's go Timmy! Find it ... now!

[BGarrett7]

That was an effin missle.

[McCarroll21]

Wow... That ball was waffled!

[JCStone7]

As cjones would say, that had some hair on it

[GrandMasterB]

So, uh... that sucks.

[uofafan]

Gosh!!! They are teaing off on Huddy

[BGarrett7]

Not relevant to this inning, but...

OBP of hitters leading off the inning against the Braves: .403

[McCarroll21]

Okay... so NOW let's get the offense going. They teased us last inning, they're going to score some runs here.

[GrandMasterB]

A three-run home run by Matt Diaz would be perfect this inning. :)

[Chief Knockahoma]

let's go Gold Glover.

[jones2510]

lets go jeff

[McCarroll21]

C'mon Andruw!

[RockTheShow]

No body is allowed to get out this inning.

[BGarrett7]

Braves have scored in six of thirteen fourth innings this season.

[Chief Knockahoma]

that's about right.

let's go McCann!

[JCStone7]

Those watching FSN the Aflac answer is Kenny Lofton

[BGarrett7]

The Braves don't exactly play well when trailing...

Record when trailing at start of the inning...

2nd: 0-2
3rd: 0-3
4th: 0-4
5th: 0-6
6th: 0-6
7th: 0-5
8th: 0-5

[Chief Knockahoma]

[McCarroll21]

Hopefully Huddy can give us another inning so we can hit for him in the next inning.

Double switch?

It's time for this offense to kick it in gear.

[JCStone7]

Oh look a Braves highlight

[McCarroll21]

Good job Camp! Can he hit?

[Chief Knockahoma]

good job Campillo

[JCStone7]

Good job Camp! Can he hit?

Can anyone?

[GrandMasterB]

Can anyone?

Think anyone would notice if we just sent Chipper up there every time?

[McCarroll21]

I guess my Hudson buy on PT is going to take a hit tonight. He made a pretty big climb today.

[McCarroll21]

Think anyone would notice if we just sent Chipper up there every time?
Can we use ghost runners?

[GrandMasterB]

Can we use ghost runners?

Woo! Backyard baseball!

[McCarroll21]

Woo! Backyard baseball!
F'n right! The runner on first is only as fast as you getting from home to first and only runs when forced to run.

[GrandMasterB]

Hanley, you dummy! We're having a hard enough time getting baserunners as it is.

[McCarroll21]

Well... with Kelly hitting now we can clear the pitcher's spot in the order and have the bats coming up to start the sixth.

[Chief Knockahoma]

i get an interesting pitching lineup on Sunday.

It worked!!!

[McCarroll21]

Keep us here Camp...

[McCarroll21]

Yunel's pretty good against Hendrickson, eh?

[BGarrett7]

Little cocky there with the Bret Boone bat flip... I bet Larry chews his ass out for actually showing some emotion, that ain't how the Braves roll, kid.

[Wren Mafia]

Love the bat flip

[mark]

the marlins announcer pretty much had a mini hissy fit about that. says he'll be reminded of the unwritten rules his next time up

For what?

You haven't watched Escobar much in the last year, have you? He's got that bat flip on singles.

[dogmanx23]

can these 2 let it go already... gzzzzzzzzzzz they want them to throw at yunel.

[Chief Knockahoma]

why do we have to be down by one run?

[BGarrett7]

You haven't watched Escobar much in the last year, have you?Actually, I haven't...

[JCStone7]

Campillo = 2005 Jorge

[Wren Mafia]

Camp is holding them for us. Let's go Tex!

[JCStone7]

Actually, I haven't...

Esco = bat flip after every hit

[McCarroll21]

Actually, I haven't...
LOL! It's good. I think the bat flip is more of him cutting himself off in his swing than anything showboatish. He'll do it on a basehit to right field lol

[jones2510]

yeah he really didn't need to go on for 10 minutes about it.

[JCStone7]

C'mon Frenchy!

[Chief Knockahoma]

there we go Teixeira.

[McCarroll21]

Woo! Offense coming to life? Hit one hard somewhere Jeff...

[GrandMasterB]

Blah! Where was that your last at-bat? Oh well. Do something here, Jeff!

[Wren Mafia]

Esco = bat flip after every hit

He did put a little extra on the last one though.;) BG is right, Larry or Bobby probably let him know.

[Chief Knockahoma]

do it Gold Glover.

[BGarrett7]

Jeff just got blown away by an 86 MPH fastball...

[Chief Knockahoma]

or don't.

let's go McCann.

[JCStone7]

He did put a little extra on the last one though.;) BG is right, Larry or Bobby probably let him know.

I'm sure a HR pumps you up more than a single

[McCarroll21]

C.C. continues to be lit up like a Christmas tree...

[McCarroll21]

Let's go Heap!

[Chief Knockahoma]

uh oh.

let's go Matty!

[farbisimo]

Why was Hudson taken out?

[JCStone7]

Let's go Dee-ass!

[McCarroll21]

It's Fish-Stix time!

[Wren Mafia]

I'm sure a HR pumps you up more than a single

Yes, it does.

[McCarroll21]

Why was Hudson taken out?
He sucked tonight.

[JCStone7]

Why was Hudson taken out?

Cuz he couldn't hit that pentaganol white thing
