I can't believe we're getting this one in today. BMac started us off with a 2-run HR. Marteeen Prado is a man on a mission. And the Dragon Slayer looks good so far.
Oh, haven’t seen the sandwich one. Those “inside deal” ads are annoying as hell, can’t these bastards read the menu?
Though I’m interested in these sandwiches, there used to be this little Mexican place near my house that made these awesome sandwich’s with fried steak and egg.
This is the thing with Kawakami, he’ll have a 3-4 inning stretch where he looks dominate, and he’ll look like a minor league pitcher for a couple of innings.
Bmac 2 run jack in the first, Lincecum then shuts us down.
Last inning, runners on 1 and 2, DeRosa slaps one to right. Heyward’s throw is off line, takes a weird hop after bouncing off of the runner at home, next guy scores…KK was dealing, too.
BMac took him deep early but then we played defense like a tball team and they took the lead. that’s all lincecom has needed so far. Waste of a good outing by KK, but whats new
SF Giants Announcers love Melky. “He’s the greatest .120 hitter I’ve ever seen. I was shocked when I saw his numbers. All of his at bats have been good ones.”
If you’re a braves fan you’re just not used to seeing clutch hitting in important spots for the last couple of years. We used to be able to do that too.
Disagree. The Giants’ runs came from our errors. We’d be tied and still in the game if those runs are out of the picture. I don’t think “tied” is being shut down.
I’m not that someone. However, I do think we did more to help lose this game than the Giants did to win it.
I believe our offense kept us close until the defense (and pitching in the end) let us down.
Definitely. Haha I go to a “party school” and it’s definitely possible to have just as much fun as people who get schwasted… and you actually can remember what happened.
in my 2 years as a teacher i’ve realized what is wrong with this country (partially), and it’s parenting—or lack thereof. most new parents these days have no business having children, and are more interested in being “cool” and friendly with their children rather than teaching them values and consequences. it’s pretty tragic.
IDK… I’ve been a Dukie all my life. And I can Honestly consider myself a legitimate Duke football fan. I just could never muster up the courage to cheer and follow another school. maybe it’s me.
i think Kawakami has had the worst luck losses by any player the past two years (IMO)
also, isn’t it funny how before the broadcast that say " the braves pitching has stopped sandoval, huff, and derosa this series" and then those three players dominate the game and do all the damage. Funny how that happens sometimes
Maybe it’s just because I grew up in San Francisco and had to endure a lot of crap as a Braves fan therein, but PacBell/AT&T Park really seems to be a house of horrors for the Braves.
Rowand’s interference on McCann, the errant throw hitting Sandoval (although he’s large enough that I’m not sure where Heyward could’ve thrown it and missed him…), that time a few years ago that Gryboski allowed a walk-off walk. Okay, need to stop, it’s getting too depressing.
these professional athletes have NOTHING to complain about. they live a charmed life in which they get to play a GAME for hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars, admired by millions, to boot.
First?
Gotta love when your 2 and 3 hitters have over .500 averages!

but that’s unnecessary
kreese555 - April 11, 2010
Lincecum looks really shaky...
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
On the other hand, he’s still getting the Ks.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
He had 4 extra hours to hit the bong.

this guy is pretty good though huh?

Would somebody go hit Luke Wilson with a baseball bat???? God are those commercials annoying.

There must be truth to that statement.
Someone on another forum (not baseball) was ranting about how annoying those commercials are.

BravesRaleigh - April 11, 2010
Yeah, I meant to ask about that…what the hell happened? 7 walks? My buddy’s band was playing so I was out and didn’t get to watch it.
Although, I did sneak into the corner for an inning and watch on my iphone.
Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
Lowe created a new win category for himself. He pitched HORRIBLY, yet somehow only gave up 1 run and got the win.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
damn, I saw the 1 ER and thought he might have actually done well. Hard to do that with 7 walks though
Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
Setting them up and knocking them down.

Why 2-0 to the pitcher?
bravos1984 - April 11, 2010
So he could strike him out...

that's why

30 pitches in 3 innings.
Like a Toyota, Kawakame is efficient and unstoppable.

lol
atl192485 - April 11, 2010
who schedules this shit?
atl192485 - April 11, 2010
Lincecum should go up with an umbrella in his hand.
Let’s face it, his hitting is the exact opposite of his pitching
kreese555 - April 11, 2010
Perhaps a parasol would be more appropriate.
UMDBHIK - April 11, 2010
But he’s really good at it.
JKowalek - April 11, 2010
Please tell me you need a sarc mark for the above comment
kreese555 - April 11, 2010
let’s keep those bats going.
JKowalek - April 11, 2010
5Ks for Lincy?
3 in a row?
Come on guys, don’t let him settle in.
Can you at LEAST make him actually throw a strike?
NCChopper - April 11, 2010
Even without his best stuff, Lincecum can still make our hitters look silly.
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010
fuck
my bad guys
Cracker! - April 11, 2010
Lay off that pitch!
MatM - April 11, 2010
I like Kuiper and Krukow better in MVP Baseball 05
a hooter's baby - April 11, 2010
wtf guys that pitch isnt even starting as a strike
bpk228480 - April 11, 2010
I can hear overrated chants haha
JKowalek - April 11, 2010
That breaking ball of his is absurd.
Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
I’m so sick of the “overrated” cheer.
Gage23 - April 11, 2010
Would you say that it is…overrated?
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
touche
nick9314 - April 11, 2010
haha
JKowalek - April 11, 2010
Overrated?
Thats funny, cause i thought he was the one who torched them last night
Dawg013 - April 11, 2010
Especially when you’ve just beaten a team. You’re essentially saying, “Because we beat you, you must not be that good.”
eavchuck - April 11, 2010
Great eye!
MatM - April 11, 2010
ahhh j hey
dc_allday - April 11, 2010
Anytime there is 2 strikes Lincy throwing changeup. Don’t understand how no one pick this up.

HEYJUDE - April 11, 2010
is he no longer known as sandoval, haven’t heard them call him by his actual name yet in this series

Hell of a play for the big man

mmmm
eavchuck - April 11, 2010
At least he saw some more pitches
vooodooo - April 11, 2010
I’m all for prolonged at-bats. Braves hitters need to wear Lincecum out some and keep him off-balance.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
I agree, make this kid throw.
vooodooo - April 11, 2010
Those fans booing the calls
On pitches like a foot outside were annoying as hell.
Bronn - April 11, 2010
this
schlagdawg - April 11, 2010
They booed pretty much every
every ball called this inning.
They seriously think Timmy throws nothing but strikes.
Bronn - April 11, 2010
Good at bat
Bad outcome. Oh well, get ’em next time.
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010
I wish he played for us, I really would love to cheer for him.

B, definitely.

Chipper would have hurt 8 different body parts trying to make that play.

At least eight…
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
Watching Lincecum pitch to Heyward feels like the beginning of an ongoing epic battle.
FalconUdean - April 11, 2010
That’s what it will be… Strasburg v Heyward hopefully for years in the NL East.
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010

romone_braves91 - April 11, 2010
I love Captain Caveman Diaz!
NCChopper - April 11, 2010
I've missed that...
nick9314 - April 11, 2010
Does anyone else automatically pronounce Diaz the way that Matt does, every time they see it now? Or is that just me?
Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
Yeah
I’ve been corrupted by his white-man ways.
Bronn - April 11, 2010
HAHA. YES.
Saying Di-az instead of Die-Az just sounds wrong now.
nick9314 - April 11, 2010
Anyone else feel like we’re seeing Heyward grow as a hitter in front of our eyes? Taking that change up was impressive.
eavchuck - April 11, 2010

kreese555 - April 11, 2010
yes.
romone_braves91 - April 11, 2010

making adjustments between pitches during an AB = good
atl192485 - April 11, 2010

These fans are pretty loud, I must say.
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010

Bronn - April 11, 2010

10-4 - April 11, 2010

Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
Keep throwing pitches
MatM - April 11, 2010
I love the fact we’re making the Freak throw several pitches.
NCChopper - April 11, 2010
How could of a trade chip is Infante going to be. He could start on 80% of the clubs in the MLB
kreese555 - April 11, 2010
we need him with our injury worries
Cracker! - April 11, 2010
This
He’s making 2.2M this year with an option for 2.5M. he’s cheap. No reason to let him go.
fphjr01 - April 11, 2010
come ASB though, if we need to go get someone...
He’s just the perfect type guy that I love to have on a team. I love our roster top to bottom, unlike last year and all the dead weight we possessed
kreese555 - April 11, 2010
that at-bat
is why Matt Diaz is my favorite
scorby911 - April 11, 2010
We don’t have a stolen base yet this year, do we?
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010
we have a few
atl192485 - April 11, 2010
Chipper and BMac both have 1
kreese555 - April 11, 2010
chipper
Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
Chipper has one as does BMac I think.
UMDBHIK - April 11, 2010
Just for fun, I think our first SB of the year was Chipper.
AllSaintsDay - April 11, 2010
None of the obvious candidates have a stolen base.
Bronn - April 11, 2010
Didn’t Brian steal one in the first game?
Gage23 - April 11, 2010
It was Chip.
McCann and McWill - April 11, 2010
speed demon
vooodooo - April 11, 2010
*good
kreese555 - April 11, 2010
ffffffffffff
dc_allday - April 11, 2010
Infante strikes out.
At least he saw a lot of pitches…
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
change again
whoever called this earlier is a genius
Cracker! - April 11, 2010
called what?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
2 strikes = next pitch changeup
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010
Thanks. That’s all they show on ESPN Lincy striking out ppl on change.
romone_braves91 - April 11, 2010
69-46 for Tim.
bravos1984 - April 11, 2010
hope we knock him out by the 7th

I hope we get through enough for an official game and it rains so hard they start looking for wood to make an ark.
NCChopper - April 11, 2010
haha this
kreese555 - April 11, 2010
He’s going to be around 100 pitches by the end of six innings…
I’d say that’s definitely doable.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
Oh good, Rickie Weeks HRed
Got him in fantasy, and he was a friggin steal.
Bronn - April 11, 2010
guy never seems to stay healthy
Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
I drafted Howie Kendrick as his back-up, I think I’m solid.
Bronn - April 11, 2010
I like Kendrick a lot, nice work sir.
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010
ha, same could be said for him…but between the two of them you should be good
Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
It bothers me that there’s another shortstop named Escobar in the league, though.
Bronn - April 11, 2010
He's 2-2 with 2 runs scored and a HR
fphjr01 - April 11, 2010
Let's win this. I've hated the Giants since WE were in the *NL West*
FalconUdean - April 11, 2010
Me too, even more so now that I'm in semi-Giants territory.
AllSaintsDay - April 11, 2010
I think we need to win 104 games this year to celebrate that fact.
Bronn - April 11, 2010
lol
FalconUdean - April 11, 2010

I love your name.

Thank you, Justin.
Been keepin’ up with our boy, KJ?
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
He is hanging with prado with better power numbers – just as I have always said!
:)
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
hey, no need to convince me
I still have that KJ train jpeg on tap

Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
Who would wanna watch a Warriors game anyway?
a hooter's baby - April 11, 2010
I could. They're fun to watch.
Duff_Man - April 11, 2010
They’re no Atlanta Hawks
a hooter's baby - April 11, 2010
I don't know, Stephen Curry is a great player.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - April 11, 2010
Anyone who thinks Steph Curry should beat Tyreke Evans for ROY is f*cking nuts.
Scott Coleman - April 11, 2010 via mobile
Evans is ridiculous. Gonna have a 20-5-5 average line for the year. What a rook.
But Curry sure came one strong, but I think it’s Evans’.
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010
Love my Kings. I miss Bibby in his prime :(

3, I think.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
I don't know...22?
kreese555 - April 11, 2010
Kawakami
is in the zone right now. I haven’t seen him this good since that Yankee game last year when he got injured.
AlabamaTitans2009 - April 11, 2010
That was a great performance.
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010

Ay-you-hennie-o Velez.
Flies out.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - April 11, 2010
He actually IS called the Panda???
Duff_Man - April 11, 2010
KUNG FU Panda

Kung-fu Panda with a triple!? WTF?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
ouch.
Bronn - April 11, 2010
Just missed that one.
bravos1984 - April 11, 2010
FTW a triple?
vooodooo - April 11, 2010
For a fat man, dude runs pretty well.
UMDBHIK - April 11, 2010
He saw a burrito on 3rd.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - April 11, 2010
oh well ...
FrankyWren - April 11, 2010
Which is greater weight?
Lincecum + Velez or KF Panda
FalconUdean - April 11, 2010
Panda…
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
It’s sad that “Kung-Fu Panda” is like the last real nickname in baseball.
They call Lincecum “The Freak,” but that’s just a rip-off of Jevon Kearse.
Bronn - April 11, 2010
Yeah, He’s pretty quick for a big man
JKowalek - April 11, 2010
Horrible pitch
MatM - April 11, 2010
Run Teletubby, run!
Scott Coleman - April 11, 2010 via mobile

UMDBHIK - April 11, 2010
The perfect game and no no come to an end. Thankfully, that thing stayed in teh park!
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
Heyward didn't play that well.
Duff_Man - April 11, 2010
Maybe trying to play a carom? I have no idea…
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010
I think, he thought it was gone.
Didn’t adjust well.
NCChopper - April 11, 2010
Those bricks can produce some funny re-directions
bravos1984 - April 11, 2010
It did look like it was going out. Also, it was too wet for him to charge at the wall full speed – too much injury risk.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
first time in the stadium, but yeah
Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
well, it bounced off two walls.
10-4 - April 11, 2010
Just felt an earthquake in Nashville.
First time those words have ever found themselves in that order.
kreese555 - April 11, 2010
those being "Heward didn't play that well"
kreese555 - April 11, 2010
I haven't felt it in Knoxville.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - April 11, 2010
TQA8!!!
Fancy meeting you here.
AllSaintsDay - April 11, 2010
Hola!
Felt like I should jump in.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - April 11, 2010
Sarcasm (shhhh go with it)
kreese555 - April 11, 2010
What was Heyward doing out there?
Ron A. - April 11, 2010
looked like he gave up on it ... to be fair, I thought it was gone too (then again, I'm not there)
FrankyWren - April 11, 2010
I think he thought it was hitting the bricks>
JKowalek - April 11, 2010
Apparently he was thinking it was going to bounce of the brick wall.
Gage23 - April 11, 2010
faaaaaaaaaaaack
dc_allday - April 11, 2010
stupid fucking shift
bpk228480 - April 11, 2010
yeah ... about that
burned them pretty bad. no one near the ball.
FrankyWren - April 11, 2010
Hey guys
lets shift and pitch him away
Cracker! - April 11, 2010
this
Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
Bad part about it – he did the exact same thing to us before in this series when we put the shift on.
NCChopper - April 11, 2010
Damn't! Giants score.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
Crapola.
Duff_Man - April 11, 2010
Shift = FAIL.
NCChopper - April 11, 2010
That’s why the shift is over-rated.
bravos1984 - April 11, 2010
Damnit.
Scott Coleman - April 11, 2010 via mobile
Random Baseball Question?
If KK would have pitched a perfect game through 5 and the game was called for rain would that have counted?
romone_braves91 - April 11, 2010
No, by definition it has to be 9 innings.
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
I think no.
eavchuck - April 11, 2010
Wouldn't be an offical perfect game, no.
Bronn - April 11, 2010
Just in our hearts.
McCann and McWill - April 11, 2010
It might end up as a footnote in record books, or show up with an asterisk or something.
Bronn - April 11, 2010
That’s what i was thinking.
romone_braves91 - April 11, 2010
Shift bites us in the butt.
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010
Dammit
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
Aubrey Huff RBI single.
In consolation, his name still sounds like a beautiful supermodel’s.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - April 11, 2010
Why shift when you are pitching him outside
BRaves1 - April 11, 2010
this
Cracker! - April 11, 2010
Language barrier.
Couldn’t tell Kawakami the shift was on. At least that’s my guess.
FalconUdean - April 11, 2010
haha
There is no way that is what the problem was
Texastriplecrown - April 11, 2010
lol
You have your facts. I have my unshakeable faith in the braves.
FalconUdean - April 11, 2010
He probably missed the target.
bravos1984 - April 11, 2010
this
FrankyWren - April 11, 2010
He set up outside
BRaves1 - April 11, 2010
because where the catcher sets up is always the target ...
FrankyWren - April 11, 2010
umm he put his glove outside and he hit it
what a coincidince
BRaves1 - April 11, 2010
maybe the placement wasn't intentional
FrankyWren - April 11, 2010
Good call FUPA.
10-4 - April 11, 2010
other then that
KK looks solid
Erihury - April 11, 2010
I like Panda a lot; he hustles.
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010
Yeah, the shift is a bad move with a RISP.
Lennox - April 11, 2010
boo shift
Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
Settle down, KK.
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010
3rd out!
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
On the bright side...
They’ve only scored half as much as us.
FalconUdean - April 11, 2010
i like your positivity
Cracker! - April 11, 2010
OK. Lets go get it back .
JKowalek - April 11, 2010
Technically, a fastball low and outside on a pull hitter is usually
bounced to the right side. Huff just went with the pitch.
kreese555 - April 11, 2010
So I'd say Huff beat the shift, not necessarily the pitch
kreese555 - April 11, 2010
I still can’t believe Kung-fu Panda got a triple…
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
Yeah, I didn't see that comin'.
HEYJUDE - April 11, 2010
He’s pretty quick. I saw a thing about his diet on MLB Network over the winter and they talked about his qickness.
JKowalek - April 11, 2010
Giants fans rather frisky today
With all that boo-ing.
Bronn - April 11, 2010
Must be the Bonds-ian vibes.
UMDBHIK - April 11, 2010
boooo
eavchuck - April 11, 2010
They’ve were sitting in the rain for 4 hours
Lennox - April 11, 2010
“I was saying boo-urns……”
UMDBHIK - April 11, 2010
Escobar and Furcal...
Our past two shortstops have both had sick arms.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - April 11, 2010
The ones in between…not so much.
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
i'll be in and out of the discussion
watching Suns basketball, as well
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
ok guys
no more speed-batting, let’s get some more runs
atl192485 - April 11, 2010
Let's go
Scott Coleman - April 11, 2010 via mobile
That ball was not well-hit, just a little dribble to an empty 80 foot span of infield.
eavchuck - April 11, 2010
Still only 44 pitches for KK
bravos1984 - April 11, 2010
That is really good news.
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010
Let's go get some more runs
Professor Snape hasn’t been that great tonight.

Jose Rodriguez - April 11, 2010
It is a really good thing when we are pissed that our SP only gives up 1 run in 4 innings..
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
And our 5th SP at that!
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
Wait… D. Lowe isn’t pitching tonight…. :-p
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
lol nice
romone_braves91 - April 11, 2010
Kinda reminds me of Hudson’s start on Friday (hopefully the end doesn’t go the same way)…
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
ugh
romone_braves91 - April 11, 2010
knock on wood!
kreese555 - April 11, 2010
4 innings of perfect ball. That’s kinda good I guess.
romone_braves91 - April 11, 2010
What a revelation!
You mean a baseball player wants to win the World Series? That’s unpossible!
UMDBHIK - April 11, 2010
Thank you, Ralph

Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010

NCChopper - April 11, 2010
Didn’t it sound like he said Holly Johnson when he was talking about KJ?
JKowalek - April 11, 2010
Keep him working, KK
FalconUdean - April 11, 2010
KK is making Lincecum WORK right now.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
And he goes down for the strike out…
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
changeup
Cracker! - April 11, 2010

Cracker! - April 11, 2010
Good AB
JKowalek - April 11, 2010

dc_allday - April 11, 2010
KK screwing himself into the ground
bravos1984 - April 11, 2010
I remember last year when an opposing team's announcer pronounced KK's name as "Kaw-ak-a-kak-ami"
I think it was an AL team. Hilarious.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - April 11, 2010
Well, he made him work. I’ll take that AB by a pitcher, TBH.
Gage23 - April 11, 2010
The the leadoff man makes a 1 pitch out.
bravos1984 - April 11, 2010

Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
Ok, is it just me or is the Taco Bell guy at least as annoying as Luke Wilson?
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
What Taco Bell guy?
Lennox - April 11, 2010
The one in the “It’s not a sandwich” and the “Is stacey working? I’d really like to order from her” commercials.
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
not as bad as luke
JKowalek - April 11, 2010
Because thats exactly who works in my Taco Bell…….
10-4 - April 11, 2010
huh?
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
Burrito in that commercial=5 kilos of Columbian bam-bam.
That’s the “special deal”.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - April 11, 2010
Oh, haven’t seen the sandwich one. Those “inside deal” ads are annoying as hell, can’t these bastards read the menu?
Though I’m interested in these sandwiches, there used to be this little Mexican place near my house that made these awesome sandwich’s with fried steak and egg.
Lennox - April 11, 2010
The one that asks for the same cashier?
JKowalek - April 11, 2010
So, are Moylan/Saito/Wagner available tonight?
Lennox - April 11, 2010
wags def is
dc_allday - April 11, 2010
Probably not Saito, but Moylan/Wags should be.
UMDBHIK - April 11, 2010
did you really just ask is Moylan available?
10-4 - April 11, 2010
HAHAHAHA....

romone_braves91 - April 11, 2010
Lennox - April 11, 2010
Ugh
1st pitch swinging.

but they’re pretty cool
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
Slash is the poster-child for Rock. Axel is an idiot, but it really doesn’t get better than classic GnR
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
but without Axl,
we would’ve had Slash’s Snakepit….
not a good thing.
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
"the money lies in the RBIs"
STFU, giants announcers
atl192485 - April 11, 2010
Haha
Apparently that’s what Jeff kent told some kids in a baseball clinic earlier.
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010
what, to STFU?
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
Wish Melky would have been a bit more patient there.
NCChopper - April 11, 2010
Lincecum is going to be incredibly annoying as an old man ...
FrankyWren - April 11, 2010
Naw. He’s a smoker so he will be chill.
romone_braves91 - April 11, 2010
HAHA
JKowalek - April 11, 2010
true
FrankyWren - April 11, 2010
Dangit, why is Melky all of a sudden trigger-happy?
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
I really am not a fan of the guy
MatM - April 11, 2010
I think it's safe to say we still have a ? at the top of our lineup
kreese555 - April 11, 2010
Not at all. Nate and Melky are 7th and 8th respectively in pitches per plate appearance in all of MLB.
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
You still gotta get on base tho.
Scott Coleman - April 11, 2010 via mobile

kreese555 - April 11, 2010
yea but
they aren’t hitting…
atl192485 - April 11, 2010
It’s been 1 week.
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
that's why i said "a ?" and not "we're doomed"

I’ve gotta go with this one.
AllSaintsDay - April 11, 2010
this
FrankyWren - April 11, 2010
he's seeing a lot of fastballs ... small sample size, but he's seeing nearly 10 percent more fastballs than what he normally sees
FrankyWren - April 11, 2010
interesting
Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
I think the Braves missed the memo to turn off the speed batting.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
pitch count lincy? ithink like 82 but not sure
dc_allday - April 11, 2010
80 on the dot
MatM - April 11, 2010
ok thx
dc_allday - April 11, 2010
Yep...
It should’ve been around 86, but Cabrera and Prado decided to be quick outs.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
80 pitches.
bravos1984 - April 11, 2010
anyone know how the radars looking>?
dc_allday - April 11, 2010
Lincicum can go 100 pitches easy if Bochy lets him.
FalconUdean - April 11, 2010
oops. Lincecum
FalconUdean - April 11, 2010
He’s gone 130 before…but I’m guess 110 max since it’s so cold outside
Scott Coleman - April 11, 2010 via mobile
*guessing
Scott Coleman - April 11, 2010 via mobile
I think he threw a lot his last outing too
bravesforever16 - April 11, 2010
So..
KK makes the guy throw 7 pitches, and the leadoff hitter sees one pitch? Greetings everyone-first open thread this year.
TennKen - April 11, 2010
Does anyone know which TC user is the Mad Elves on the TC fantasy league?
Gage23 - April 11, 2010
I think there’s like 5 or 6 TC Fantasy leagues
JKowalek - April 11, 2010
I guess I’m speaking to Smoltz’s Beard (I think?), Justin… not really sure who else is in it. It’s the TC League Round 3
Gage23 - April 11, 2010
I am…just look for the team with shitty pitching. That’s me. And I’m horny4heyward
Scott Coleman - April 11, 2010 via mobile

That’s what she wanted to say.
NCChopper - April 11, 2010
That’s a Maddux-like pitch count.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
i was just about to write that. nice
romone_braves91 - April 11, 2010
I recall a game in maybe 94 or 95…..Maddux threw an 81 pitch CG against the Giants in San Fran at Candlestick.
Dude was unhittable that day.
UMDBHIK - April 11, 2010
How many K’s? That’s… absolutely ridiculous.
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010
Wasn’t there a 78 pitch CG by Maddox once?
bighop - April 11, 2010
infield really slowing some balls down i think
dc_allday - April 11, 2010
Bring on the rain!
Ron A. - April 11, 2010
Man McDowell has helped KK to get those groundballs with his Two Seamer. Awesome
romone_braves91 - April 11, 2010
51 pitches = amazing so far.
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010
Now, Run(s) please.
NCChopper - April 11, 2010
In play, run(s)
to be precise
MatM - April 11, 2010
What we want:
In play, no outs

KFC starts murdering ppl with their new sandwich tomorrow…Can’t say I wont try one
a hooter's baby - April 11, 2010
I almost freaked out at the commercial. Chicken instead of bread? Count me in!
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010
Can you even call it a sandwich?
Gage23 - April 11, 2010
It’s “breaded” chicken?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
Haha, nice.
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010
It’s low carb!
Lennox - April 11, 2010
No idea what you’re talking about but this was pretty funny to me.
UMDBHIK - April 11, 2010
Basically:
Chicken
Bacon
Cheese
Chicken
That’s your sandwich.
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010
Sounds tasty.
UMDBHIK - April 11, 2010
just google KFC double down
a hooter's baby - April 11, 2010
Honestly, is there someone here that is never going to try it?
JKowalek - April 11, 2010
Me.
Jose Rodriguez - April 11, 2010
I might not. I only get KFC rarely, just to check it's still inferior to Popeye's.
AllSaintsDay - April 11, 2010
I wouldn’t know, I’m a northerner.
JKowalek - April 11, 2010
There are Popeye’s in the north…
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
Popeye’s baskets = win.
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010
Where? Not in PA. Maybe philly? But if I’m there it’s a cheesesteak.
JKowalek - April 11, 2010
There are Popeye’s in PA….I should know – I lived there.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
Continue….
JKowalek - April 11, 2010
I’m pretty sure theres one in Chester when I went to Widener
bpk228480 - April 11, 2010
Yeah, I’m in Scranton. Maybe ill make a trip and visit some on my friends at Widener and get me some Popeyes.
JKowalek - April 11, 2010
None in Philly. A guy I know from there was excited as hell to get some in Lincoln because the one there closed.
AllSaintsDay - April 11, 2010
Well, the Popeye's website says otherwise, so...
…I dunno.
AllSaintsDay - April 11, 2010
Yes.
KFC is vastly inferior to Popeye’s.
Also, Bojangle’s…
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
Yes Bojangles! the best fries
a hooter's baby - April 11, 2010
never heard of bojangles
but i contest that Checkers/Rallys has the best fries!
and Popeye’s rules KFC
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
Bojangles is the shizz.
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
You’re only supposed to eat breakfast at Bojangles. The Cajun Chicken Biscuit, seasoned fries, and sweet tea is the best combination…. heavenly.
Gage23 - April 11, 2010
Not when they got all you can eat wednesday
Mr. Sanchez - April 11, 2010
haha, the fried chicken debate shows up yet again
Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
Nobody's got Church's?
I’ll take Bojangles for biscuits, Popeyes for lunch/dinner
Mr. Sanchez - April 11, 2010
Eh...
Church’s is not as good.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
Never had it, I was just throwing it out there
Mr. Sanchez - April 11, 2010
Church’s chicken slips out of my hand, so much grease.
a hooter's baby - April 11, 2010
Definitely not healthy though. Haha.
No telling how much fat or calories…
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010
I rarely gain weight, so I’m good.
Jose Rodriguez - April 11, 2010
KFC estimates it at about 600 calories 31g of fat.
Lennox - April 11, 2010
Thanks. I’d probably still give it a go.
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010
Well, anyone who lives in Colorado is SOL, since KFC is now illegal there.
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010

I get the feeling
That mccann might have produced the braves only offense tonight

Dawg013 - April 11, 2010
Let’s get Professor Snape up to 100 pitches this inning.
Scott Coleman - April 11, 2010 via mobile
How many is he out?
Dawg013 - April 11, 2010
14 more
bravos1984 - April 11, 2010
How many is he at*
Dawg013 - April 11, 2010
That’s still incorrect.
Gage23 - April 11, 2010
hahaha.
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
Hinske is working on that for you…
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
Yep. 87 now!
Scott Coleman - April 11, 2010 via mobile
heap hit
dc_allday - April 11, 2010
BMac Homer = 415 ft.
NCChopper - April 11, 2010
Mac with another hit!
He has Tiny Tim’s number.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
he's now
8 for 19 lifetime against lincecum
atl192485 - April 11, 2010
little poke
FrankyWren - April 11, 2010
Yeah go Heap!
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010
The Pablo bobblehead is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen
FrankyWren - April 11, 2010
Kinda defeats the point when the stomach is as big as the head
kreese555 - April 11, 2010
Bobblegut=awesome
TennKen - April 11, 2010
rec'd the term "Bobblegut"
you should TM it
kreese555 - April 11, 2010
Cmon Yunel... you were my P2C!
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010
Heyward, Bring the Rain please?
romone_braves91 - April 11, 2010
the game is official.
romone_braves91 - April 11, 2010
This.
Another 2-run HR would be nice…
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
he is popping up like twice a game right now
bpk228480 - April 11, 2010
Yunel pops-up for the 2nd out.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
That Velez guy is one ugly dude.
Duff_Man - April 11, 2010
this has probably been talked about already but...
…with Chipper out why doesn’t Cox put Glaus at third and Odarp at first. I know Glaus is off today, but still wanna know your thoughts
mwchipper - April 11, 2010
They probably want Glaus to learn 1st before moving him around.
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
prado plays better d i think
dc_allday - April 11, 2010
this
Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
i've been thinking the same thing
or put Hinkse in at either 3b or 1b and keep Marteen at 2nd
bravesfan1047 - April 11, 2010
Heyward grounds out to end the inning.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
almost beat it out
dc_allday - April 11, 2010
Man
at first i thought that was a hit!
Dawg013 - April 11, 2010
yea
especially with the wet grass
atl192485 - April 11, 2010
We’re gonna have to deal with him for another inning damn it
MatM - April 11, 2010
92 pitches
bravos1984 - April 11, 2010
That sort of hustle
will get him some infield hits in his career.
FalconUdean - April 11, 2010
Gotta love the hustle.
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010
Looking at that replay — it’s luck Panda caught that ball
BigG1392 - April 11, 2010
It was luck that he got that triple, too…
Kung-fu Panda is lucky tonight. Quick, everyone rub his belly.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
Dont do that!
if you pet the animals at the zoo, they might try to eat you!
Dawg013 - April 11, 2010
I’d feel a LOT better if our lead was more than 1 run.
NCChopper - April 11, 2010
i would feel better if it rained.
romone_braves91 - April 11, 2010
Samesies
Scott Coleman - April 11, 2010 via mobile
Ground-out!
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
Nice pick Hinske
MatM - April 11, 2010
Another ground-out!
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
2 down! …1 pitch out.
JKowalek - April 11, 2010
thanks for the gift out.
bravos1984 - April 11, 2010
yeah, terrible bunt
Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
I agree
romone_braves91 - April 11, 2010
Bruan huge 2run shot for fantasy players
fphjr01 - April 11, 2010
how about Freese or Shumaker?
JKowalek - April 11, 2010
Freese has made like 10 errors. Don't know if shumaker is even playing
fphjr01 - April 11, 2010
KK pitching a gem tonight
lots of groundballs. Love it!
mwchipper - April 11, 2010
Love the one pitch outs!
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010
Be careful with this guy KK
MatM - April 11, 2010
thank god for panda fat
otherwise that would’ve been a 2B
atl192485 - April 11, 2010
Yet he had a triple earlier…
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
KFP having a nice little day

bravos1984 - April 11, 2010
Good pitch, he just went with it, gotta tip your hat

NO MORE 2 OUT RUNS.
Scott Coleman - April 11, 2010 via mobile
KK
stop pitching away to huff
atl192485 - April 11, 2010

And KK walks him – only the first walk of the game, though.

Come on Dragon Slayer…
Scott Coleman - April 11, 2010 via mobile
Too bad
they dont call him the panda slayer

Holy crap.
Duff_Man - April 11, 2010
SHIT
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
wow ... he kicked that ball
FrankyWren - April 11, 2010
what the hell? Isn’t that like interference?
BigG1392 - April 11, 2010
Than’s what I said.
Gage23 - April 11, 2010
this
FrankyWren - April 11, 2010
Nope. Only if it’s intentional.
bravos1984 - April 11, 2010
it looked intentional ... he threw up his leg at the end
FrankyWren - April 11, 2010
This.
Incidental contact gets the runner out on a batted ball, not on a thrown ball.
AllSaintsDay - April 11, 2010
Bahahahahah all with 2 outs
Scott Coleman - April 11, 2010 via mobile
That went about as bad as it possibly could have
RedCrake - April 11, 2010
apparently you can kick the ball
FrankyWren - April 11, 2010
macs gotta stop that
bpk228480 - April 11, 2010
No No No No No!
NCChopper - April 11, 2010
Mac showed no effort on stopping that ball.
JKowalek - April 11, 2010
What the hell was Heap doing?
MatM - April 11, 2010
Now I see the grey skies. It looked sunny before...
FalconUdean - April 11, 2010
wow.... that was great... another great outing by Kawakami going to waste
BravesFanScout - April 11, 2010
Now KK knows how the rest of our pitchers feel like after a great performance.
Well, all except Lowe.
NCChopper - April 11, 2010
Pretty sure KK has known this feeling for a while.
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
He had the lowest or 2nd lowest run support in the majors last year.
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
Unfortunately, tis true.
NCChopper - April 11, 2010
Well, in dodgeball that'd be an out.
kreese555 - April 11, 2010
Ha....
my thoughts (below) exactly. If you can peg a guy from RF, he should be out.
RedCrake - April 11, 2010
haha, i saw that. Great minds...
kreese555 - April 11, 2010
Nice catch Melky!!!
BigG1392 - April 11, 2010
MELKY MAKES THE CATCH! INNING OVER!
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
THANK YOU LORD.
JKowalek - April 11, 2010
wow that was close
bpk228480 - April 11, 2010
Yikes.
bravos1984 - April 11, 2010
Nice play, Melky
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010

FrankyWren - April 11, 2010
Oh good lord…that was close
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
Nice play Melk!
covered alottttt of ground
kreese555 - April 11, 2010
Instead of shifting divisions....
How about we make baseball better by implementing dodge ball rules.
RedCrake - April 11, 2010
whoof
another close one….but now we need offense and no rain
dc_allday - April 11, 2010
wow, huge catch
Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
I love snow cones
that a boy Melky
mwchipper - April 11, 2010
Cherry's my fave
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
Melky
making that catch look to hard
Erihury - April 11, 2010
Horrible break for KK.
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010
The Giant have been so fucking lucky this whole series
MatM - April 11, 2010
shit, now Lincecum will go 9 and throw 150 pitches
BravesFanScout - April 11, 2010
FrankyWren - April 11, 2010
And this is why KK had 12 losses last year.
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
bingo
Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
and our lack of offense coming back to haunt us again….i know its lincecum but still
bpk228480 - April 11, 2010
Everyone start tomahawk chopping...
We need some runs this inning…
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
Minor League Recap is up for those who are interested.

Thanks for your work!
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010
Thank you.
JKowalek - April 11, 2010
I was excited about Vizcaino’s debut.

Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
Son of a Bitch
I’m eat a lot of bacon. My heart can’t handle that shit.
FalconUdean - April 11, 2010
I hate Sandoval….such a fat shit.
JadedMayberry - April 11, 2010
haha
JKowalek - April 11, 2010
yes
he def threw his leg up at the end, if that’s not intentional, I don’t know what is
FrankyWren - April 11, 2010
This is the thing with Kawakami, he’ll have a 3-4 inning stretch where he looks dominate, and he’ll look like a minor league pitcher for a couple of innings.
Lennox - April 11, 2010
Anyone have that rally cap graphic?
Dawg013 - April 11, 2010
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
Gracias
We may need that
Dawg013 - April 11, 2010
NCChopper - April 11, 2010
pitcher's spot due up third
so KK is probably out
atl192485 - April 11, 2010
This sucks. KK just totally fell apart there.
Scott Coleman - April 11, 2010 via mobile
Meh…McCann could have done a better job for him there.
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
Definately
Dawg013 - April 11, 2010
Spell-check:
defin-i-tely
please don’t take offense to this! i’m an educator.
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
haha my bad
it looked funny win(joking) i typed it, but i just hit post anyway
Dawg013 - April 11, 2010
it happens
i hate when i hit “post” after i’ve realized a mistake
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
or the ump could have called it intentional (because it clearly was)
FrankyWren - April 11, 2010
It should’ve been a game-tying single at worst. Not all his fault. Strange play.
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010
Mccann just sucked it. I don't think KK fell apart at all. He has only given up 2 runs
BravesFanScout - April 11, 2010
Well now the Freak has a lead…
bravos1984 - April 11, 2010
why in the hell didn't mccann try to block that ball... that was awful
BravesFanScout - April 11, 2010
Wondering that too.
JKowalek - April 11, 2010
I think you guys are underestimating just how bad of a throw it was …
Lennox - April 11, 2010
It was a pretty lame throw…like a 3rd of the way up the line.
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
oh yeah it was a shitty throw too, but mccann made it way worse by jabbing at it instead of blocking it
BravesFanScout - April 11, 2010
also he was looking towards 3rd before the ball got there
Skyagusta - April 11, 2010
Block it? Like, dive in front of the ball and risk it bouncing back out to the middle of the infield, thus allowing another run to score?
If the ball doesn’t hit the runner, it bounces right to the pitcher who is backing up the play.
Lennox - April 11, 2010
He did, it went under his glove, wet turf and all that.
Lennox - April 11, 2010
balk?
FrankyWren - April 11, 2010
Nobody on.
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
ahh ... yes
FrankyWren - April 11, 2010
no runners
bravos1984 - April 11, 2010
yeah ... about that
FrankyWren - April 11, 2010
Technically you can balk with no one on.
If it is deemed an attempt to deceive the batter, then a ball is awarded to the hitter. But clearly, that wasn’t the case.
kreese555 - April 11, 2010
Diaz strikes out...
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
blah
FrankyWren - April 11, 2010
dam come on matty
mwchipper - April 11, 2010
Why is Diaz and not Nate playing tonight vs. the RHP?
MatM - April 11, 2010
hamstring?
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
Probably worried about Nate’s hamstring on the wet grass.
Lennox - April 11, 2010
wow he gets a lot of movement on that curve
mwchipper - April 11, 2010
Here comes pitch # 100.
bravos1984 - April 11, 2010
Now, we're swinging at anything - strike or not
NCChopper - April 11, 2010
Except for the meatball down the middle…
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
apparently his B stuff is better than most people's A
kreese555 - April 11, 2010
our LOLineup is at it again
Scott Coleman - April 11, 2010
Lincecum better enjoy those Cy Youngs….he aint winning another one as long as Halladay is in the NL…dude is amazing
JadedMayberry - April 11, 2010
I’d take Tim over Roy.
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
if they were both the same age I’d probably take Roy. close call though
Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
Yeah, I am talking about right now though. Roy in his prime is hard to beat…maybe Pedro in his prime, but for now, I take Tim over just about anyone.
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
Pedro in his prime is legendary stuff
Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
Who do you take (in their primes):
1. Pedro
2. Gooden
3. Randy Johnson
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
4. Maddux
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
Maddux was all about location. These other guys were just straight nasty.
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
Maddux > All
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
to me, the greatest
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
I'm too young to have watched Doc in his prime,
but I’d take Pedro
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
Probably Pedro
Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
oh god
he pitched well against the Natinals and Astros. Who cares.
Scott Coleman - April 11, 2010
lol and lincecum pitched well against the astros and braves…who cares
bpk228480 - April 11, 2010
Are you discounting the fact he was the best pitcher in the AL the last 4 years or so as well??
JadedMayberry - April 11, 2010
i never said i did
I’m just laughing at the fact everyone is drooling over his first 2 starts against the Nats and Astros.
Scott Coleman - April 11, 2010
Lincecum’s at 100 pitches… when’s the pitcher spot due up for them? Soon, right?
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010
they should put that joakim guy in again
dc_allday - April 11, 2010
Nate on deck.
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010
I think they said Conrad is due up next for the pitcher
mwchipper - April 11, 2010
Sorry, Giants announcers got me. It’s Conrad.
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010
Infante is wearing Lincecum out...
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
And then he swings at ball 4…
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
Swings on ball 4...
Scott Coleman - April 11, 2010
cock. balls.

EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
Infante Ks on a pitch at his face…
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
Dang
I was hoping that would be the freaks last batter
Dawg013 - April 11, 2010
overmatched...
mwchipper - April 11, 2010
what a changeup
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
Conrad down on strikes...
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
yikes
FrankyWren - April 11, 2010
conrad never had a chance
mwchipper - April 11, 2010
Gotta give it to Tiny Tim…he’s been pretty lights out other than the HR
Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
I think the Prado double just pissed him off.
Lennox - April 11, 2010
That was ugly
Dawg013 - April 11, 2010
108 pitches, he’s gotta be done
MatM - April 11, 2010
Strikes out the side. Ends up with 10 K’s. Can we please say goodbye to him?
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010
108 pitches
bravos1984 - April 11, 2010
let's think of the good things that happened earlier:
Mac’s big fly into the 30mph wind over the tall wall in the biggest part of the park.
nice
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
And we have a series with the Fathers next...
kreese555 - April 11, 2010
Heyward gets one more AB at least
fphjr01 - April 11, 2010
excuse me if i'm not exactly tickled
he’s not exactly a lock for a hit
yet.
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
Not sure I want to see that based on his other ABs tonight…
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
well
hopefully he won’t be facing timmay
atl192485 - April 11, 2010
Tim's spot is due up...hopefully they yank him
fphjr01 - April 11, 2010
KK
out after only 65 pitches, wouldve liked to see him go more
atl192485 - April 11, 2010
KK got robbed.
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
He couldn’t have looked worse at the plate than Brooks.
NCChopper - April 11, 2010
Hindsight……isn’t it a beautiful thing?
UMDBHIK - April 11, 2010
One of my many superpowers. ;-)
NCChopper - April 11, 2010
Not when his spot is up down a run in the 7th.
UMDBHIK - April 11, 2010
Hey all, just got in. anyone want to fill me in?
GoBravesNY - April 11, 2010
pablo sandoval's fat, lucky ass - 3, brian mccann - 2
atl192485 - April 11, 2010
haha
Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
KK pitched great, offense failed him yet again.
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
And our defense did too in a way. The triple (that should have been held to a double) and the three-stooges debacle that allowed them to plate 2.
NCChopper - April 11, 2010
Heyward has had a rough night for sure.
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
And then Melky caught what looked like a double, which saved a run from scoring, so it events out.
KK was getting hit pretty hard the last couple of innings.
Lennox - April 11, 2010
Bmac 2 run jack in the first, Lincecum then shuts us down.
Last inning, runners on 1 and 2, DeRosa slaps one to right. Heyward’s throw is off line, takes a weird hop after bouncing off of the runner at home, next guy scores…KK was dealing, too.
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010
wasn’t a weird hop, it hit pablo sandoval when he was crossing the plate when he lifted up his back leg
atl192485 - April 11, 2010
My bad. Looked like it on my feed (which isn’t great). I can tell it hit Pablo but then I lost track of it.
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010
Kung-fu Panda was being selective on playing rules from kick ball. He got to kick the baseball, but he wasn’t out when it hit him.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
Lincecom is a beast
BMac took him deep early but then we played defense like a tball team and they took the lead. that’s all lincecom has needed so far. Waste of a good outing by KK, but whats new
mwchipper - April 11, 2010
So far I haven't heard anyone was warming up in the giants pen.
Pitcher spot due up soon
FalconUdean - April 11, 2010
affeldt is up
atl192485 - April 11, 2010
Cmon Braves, where's the run support?
Yeah, it is against Lincecum but still… we fell asleep.

MatM - April 11, 2010
the braves may get a break if he doesn't come out in the 8th, we won't touch wilson in the 9th
BravesFanScout - April 11, 2010
Meds.
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010
Affeldt coached me my freshman year for a couple weeks.
Really nice guy.
kreese555 - April 11, 2010
I really hate the Giants.
Scott Coleman - April 11, 2010
I really hate the Giants
fans, who think everything is a strike if Timmy throws it
schlagdawg - April 11, 2010
Which is apparently a phenomenon unique to them and no other teams’ fans do this.
UMDBHIK - April 11, 2010
lol
Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
true
i just can’t stand any of their players. Uribe, Sandoval, Fred Lewis (when he was on the team), Lincecum, Molina, etc.
Only guy I kinda like is Cain, but we never face him.
Scott Coleman - April 11, 2010
Bonds
Skyagusta - April 11, 2010
Who?
UMDBHIK - April 11, 2010
I'm really not sure
I just hear everyone else talking about him
Skyagusta - April 11, 2010
Jeff Kent.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - April 11, 2010
Yeah, Bonds and Kent were the worst. Randy Winn wasnt too bad…

just too bad we don’t have a 6 man rotation. The man can deal
mwchipper - April 11, 2010

sepulcher - April 11, 2010
We had 7 or 8 legit starters in the offseason. A good situation to find yourself in.

yep

I am ALWAYS hungry
and it makes me mad. Why can my tummy not be satisfied?

yeah
JKowalek - April 11, 2010
nope
Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
and i’m wrong, definitely didn’t look like him running in
Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
Random question:
Anyone know how JHey’s arm compares to francouer? Just curious…thinking of power and accuracy…
Doghnut - April 11, 2010
it doesn't
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
As strong, more accurate?
Mr. Sanchez - April 11, 2010
this is what i thought but wasnt sure
Doghnut - April 11, 2010
pretty sure he’s got a plus arm
Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
I saw him gun down a guy at 3rd and Home in his last game at MB last year. The man has a plus arm.
JKowalek - April 11, 2010
CoJo also hit a bomb that bounced to the highway past LF if anyone has ever been ther.

Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
UTZ has a Salt n’ Pepper that are pretty good too.
NCChopper - April 11, 2010
i've been on the lookout
for O’Boises. They don’t sell them around here.
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
never heard of them.
JKowalek - April 11, 2010
How old are you?
They were a Keebler brand in the late 80s/early 90s and were discontinued for whatever reason, along with Ripplins & Pizzerias.
All three were great.
Those tato skin chips that TGI Friday’s make were Keebler’s recipe. They just bought the rights to it.

yeah, those are really good

I really dont wanna see Lincecum get the win.
Scott Coleman - April 11, 2010
Great stuff, when he runs that fastball back in, whether it be outside to rhb or inside to lhb, he’s really tough.
MatM - April 11, 2010
Bon. Jovi. Sucks.
’nuff said.
UMDBHIK - April 11, 2010

Don't remind me.
I was there on opening day when our fans selected Bon Jovi over ZZ Top.

anyone here watch survivor? if so, is parvati still on. her brother and i are tight….just wondering if shes “surviving”
dc_allday - April 11, 2010
yeah she just got coach voted out
bpk228480 - April 11, 2010
haha sure. cool
dc_allday - April 11, 2010
Wouldn't we be better served
With Nate McLouth and his .420 OBP in the lead off spot?
Bronn - April 11, 2010
you
would think it makes sense but it doesnt work
Erihury - April 11, 2010
I'll try this again...

Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
After about 6 o4 7 pitches.
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
yeah yeah yeah we get your point!
it would be nice if he got on base one of these times =/
you are so very patient
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
Funny you mention patience – since that is quality #1 in a good leadoff hitter…
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
also valued in a lead-off hitter:
on-base %
i know, small sample size.
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
Long ABs lead to high OBP.
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
we will see ;)
wrings hands together with evil laugh
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
Don't worry
Prado will save us all
TheBravestWay To Block A Decent Prospect - April 11, 2010
Prado needs a HR…
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
Better chance of Glaus hitting an inside the park homer than Prado getting one out in this wind.
FalconUdean - April 11, 2010
just a bit outside……..wtf dont pull hinske
dc_allday - April 11, 2010

atl192485 - April 11, 2010
That would have been a strike if Prado was 17 feet tall and weighed several hundred pounds.
UMDBHIK - April 11, 2010
Cmon Prado!!!!!
SF Giants Announcers love Melky. “He’s the greatest .120 hitter I’ve ever seen. I was shocked when I saw his numbers. All of his at bats have been good ones.”
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010
they also happen to suck as announcers
GoBravesNY - April 11, 2010
glad I don’t have to listen to those hose bags
mwchipper - April 11, 2010
Well
All’s well that ends well.
Bronn - April 11, 2010
Why the vitriol here? They’re being complimentary to Melky.
UMDBHIK - April 11, 2010
Prado finally failed :(
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010

clean up the bases...
…or clean out your locker!!!
mwchipper - April 11, 2010
again…6 games. hell, tex is like 3-20 right now, not everyone starts off the year on fire
Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
I am thinking about not even trying anymore.
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
also hasnt played much in a long while
Doghnut - April 11, 2010
Note: I said that before the at bat
MatM - April 11, 2010
Note, he has played in 5 games, with a .300 average and a .330-ish OBP. Both numbers are better than that guy hitting cleanup in NY.
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
Again irrelevant, I said it as inspiration
MatM - April 11, 2010
And try a .227 BA with a .547 OPS
MatM - April 11, 2010
Maybe after today.
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
ha, noted
Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
Damn, I had completely forgotten that Glaus tore up the Giants in the ’02 WS.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - April 11, 2010
Damn you Velez...

Velez needs to lay off the crack…he looks like Tyrone Biggums

Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
With Glaus
count on a loss
TheBravestWay To Block A Decent Prospect - April 11, 2010

tonight’s game was the one that look like it would be the most difficult to win. That’s why Friday night’s loss was so terrible.

Pujols
Just hit another HR.
BravesCPO - April 11, 2010 via mobile

This game is going really quickly.
ATLforlife - April 11, 2010
Damn
why do we only score runs when Lowe starts?
Erihury - April 11, 2010
Solution: Start D. Lowe every night!
He has a rubber arm, right? Also, think of how much we could expand our bench and bullpen without the need to carry those extra four starters…
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
b/c we know we’ll need them?
mdhenshaw - April 11, 2010
If Glaus still sucks this bad and shows no signs of power by 100 AB’s we should be very worried.

Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
BaBIP.
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
No
If you’re a braves fan you’re just not used to seeing clutch hitting in important spots for the last couple of years. We used to be able to do that too.

I'm going to say this now...
Tim Lincecum did not beat the Braves tonight – Kung-fu Panda has done it all.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
Correction: WE defeated ourselves.
NCChopper - April 11, 2010
This!
HEYJUDE - April 11, 2010
Agreed...
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
i think someone says this every time we lose.
can’t we just give Tim Lincecum some credit? He shut us down, sans 1st inning.
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
He's dirty. Screw Halladay. Best pitcher in the majors, by far.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - April 11, 2010
that’s really what it comes down to
Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
Truth.
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
Disagree. The Giants’ runs came from our errors. We’d be tied and still in the game if those runs are out of the picture. I don’t think “tied” is being shut down.
Gage23 - April 11, 2010
This!!
HEYJUDE - April 11, 2010
well if we got 2 runs in the first,
we should have been able to conjure up at least a couple more throughout the course of the game. scoring 2 runs rarely wins you a game in MLB
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
That’s all SF would’ve scored if it weren’t for our errors, so the same could be said of their offense.
Gage23 - April 11, 2010
You showed up late for the party!
Timmy did not look great the first couple of innings.
HEYJUDE - April 11, 2010
i was watching...
just not online with y’all
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
Did you have on blinders?
KK out pitched Timmy the first 5 innings, then our BP and errors cost us.
HEYJUDE - April 11, 2010
THIS!
KK seriously out-pitched Lincecum. That is not even debatable.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
i didn't have blinders
i just know that over the course of a baseball game, stuff happens, and 2 runs is rarely enough to win. jeez!
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
how dare you question them!
Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
I’m not that someone. However, I do think we did more to help lose this game than the Giants did to win it.
I believe our offense kept us close until the defense (and pitching in the end) let us down.
NCChopper - April 11, 2010
Don’t have to be in shape to trot around the bases
bravos1984 - April 11, 2010
Well, that just about seals it for me. see everyone later
GoBravesNY - April 11, 2010
Why not bring in EOF vs. Pando? Lefty match up

Because he is a switch hitter

Next time...
Send the man some Krispy Kremes and let him eat himself sick before the game.

Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
I can't.
Some kids that I’m friends with on Facebook will talk about getting shit-faced and whatnot…
And their parents will “like” the statuses. Blows. My. Mind.
I would be grounded if my parents saw a status that I put up like that.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - April 11, 2010
well thanks
for fighting the good fight!
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
I'm just lucky to have good parents. I very easily could be one of those kids if mine didn't set me straight.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - April 11, 2010
i'm sure you do already,
but make sure you let them know you love/appreciate them
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
Definitely.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - April 11, 2010
Just wanted to say keep it up! Your friends will be regretting their choices later. It sounds like you do have great parents.

I can have a good time without being stupid, ya know?
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - April 11, 2010

Gage23 - April 11, 2010
absolutely!
i won’t divulge my age, but i’ve still never been drunk. that may not impress many people, but i wear it as a badge of honor.
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
I don't think there's anything wrong whatsoever with a social drink if you're of age.
Just getting hammered drunk, throwing up, and forgetting everything seems like it…wouldn’t be fun.
That’s just me.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - April 11, 2010
i agree.
you are wise beyond your years.
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010

TennesseeQuackAttack8 - April 11, 2010
damn
where are their parents…
dc_allday - April 11, 2010
they're busy
partying with them.
in my 2 years as a teacher i’ve realized what is wrong with this country (partially), and it’s parenting—or lack thereof. most new parents these days have no business having children, and are more interested in being “cool” and friendly with their children rather than teaching them values and consequences. it’s pretty tragic.

i think Kawakami has had the worst luck losses by any player the past two years (IMO)
also, isn’t it funny how before the broadcast that say " the braves pitching has stopped sandoval, huff, and derosa this series" and then those three players dominate the game and do all the damage. Funny how that happens sometimes

JKowalek - April 11, 2010
Maybe it’s just because I grew up in San Francisco and had to endure a lot of crap as a Braves fan therein, but PacBell/AT&T Park really seems to be a house of horrors for the Braves.
Rowand’s interference on McCann, the errant throw hitting Sandoval (although he’s large enough that I’m not sure where Heyward could’ve thrown it and missed him…), that time a few years ago that Gryboski allowed a walk-off walk. Okay, need to stop, it’s getting too depressing.

Opposite field power.

TennKen - April 11, 2010

Heyward is awesome that should count for 5 RUNZ
Erihury - April 11, 2010
matty d
fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffuick
dc_allday - April 11, 2010
I'm not gonna lie I'm alll by myself but I called that in my head
bravesforever16 - April 11, 2010
Don't worry
I believe you
schlagdawg - April 11, 2010
I think we all call a HR for Heyward every time he comes to the plate…
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
Ballgame.
Jose Rodriguez - April 11, 2010
blah
FrankyWren - April 11, 2010
mercifully over
let’s go to San Diaggo

bravos1984 - April 11, 2010
His opposite field power is quite impressive, that looked like an easy pop fly. Was the wind blowing out that way, or is he just that amazing?
Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
bbboth
dc_allday - April 11, 2010
His Hr the other day was Oppo too, right?
justincredubil02 - April 11, 2010
yup
Smoltz's Beard - April 11, 2010
wind helped a bit
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
Probably a little of both
MatM - April 11, 2010
Well Molina flinched at the crack of the bat… so the kid’s strong like bull, for one thing
Ivan the Great - April 11, 2010
UGH
screw you Braves offense you guys suck. Other then Mac and Heyward
Erihury - April 11, 2010
and Prado.
Jose Rodriguez - April 11, 2010
and Lowe
schlagdawg - April 11, 2010
and Hudson
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
and Saito
Jose Rodriguez - April 11, 2010
Wait…offense :(
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
And Dale Murphy
eavchuck - April 11, 2010
hinske
dc_allday - April 11, 2010
When is Lowes
next start i totally expect the Braves to score 13 runs
Erihury - April 11, 2010
Lowe counts for offense.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
He's our lucky charm, send him to the mound everynight :=)
HEYJUDE - April 11, 2010
Not what Chip and I had in mind for tonight...
Maybe tomorrow night will be better…
NCChopper - April 11, 2010
Another bad loss
Could have easily swept this series. With the Braves tough early schedule, it really hurts that they have let so 3 winnable games slip away early.
letsgobravos - April 11, 2010
Wow. I missed it.
I’ll never stop watching early again. Fuck you homework. you convinced me to leave.
Scott Coleman - April 11, 2010
Homework
is the worst thing ever invented
Erihury - April 11, 2010
i'm a math teacher
and i stopped giving it
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
move to Arizona
and be my teacher.
Scott Coleman - April 11, 2010
are they hiring?
our district just laid off 39 1st & 2nd year teachers and i’m moving out west in august. seriously…tell me next game and i’ll look into it!
=)
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
i wish
the UofA just let go of a bunch of staff and they freakin raised tuition like crazy. no $$$ i guess
Scott Coleman - April 11, 2010
too bad
all my students love me =)
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
good to hear man. i always try to be tight with all my teachers who are sports fans
Scott Coleman - April 11, 2010
what's weird about it
is i’ll get on to some of them pretty hard now and then, but i guess they just can’t stay mad at me?
they’re pretty forgiving, because sometimes i flip my lid at the dumb stuff that goes on in there! ha
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
I have one male teacher this semester.
Always talks about how professional athletes are all spoiled babies, so he doesn’t watch sports anymore. He says its all about corporate America.
Needless to say, he’s an egotistical douche
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - April 11, 2010
ha...while i agree partially with his sentiment,
he seems to take it to the extreme.
these professional athletes have NOTHING to complain about. they live a charmed life in which they get to play a GAME for hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars, admired by millions, to boot.
but i can’t stop watching!!!
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
Most of them do it because they love sports...
But there will always be those few that do it for the fame and glory…no matter what profession they’re in….
Funny that he’s one of those people that always talks about his accomplishments as a teacher.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - April 11, 2010
shoot, i have no accomplishments as a teacher
i suck.
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
Dude. Come be my teacher.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - April 11, 2010
Me too.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - April 11, 2010
Damn Phillies and Marlins won today right?
NCChopper - April 11, 2010
Yep.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
yeah. Halladay pitched and Dodgers choked.
Jose Rodriguez - April 11, 2010
Braves are tied for 3rd in NL East with the Natinals... :(
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
Thank goodness it’s early. .
500 record something to build on.
NCChopper - April 11, 2010
Braves are how many games back?
Jose Rodriguez - April 11, 2010
17
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
our season is over
the Phillies have looked unbeatable against the powerful Natinals and Astros.
Scott Coleman - April 11, 2010
+1
schlagdawg - April 11, 2010
Yep... :(
If the Astros and Natinals can’t beat the Phillies, the Braves don’t have a chance…
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
ASStros. What not clever enough?
romone_braves91 - April 11, 2010
2
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
Heyward with the Andruw Jones HR
Not knocking him but it didn’t help.
romone_braves91 - April 11, 2010
shoot, except for game 2,
i’d say the HR was Chipper-esque
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
I think they should give Heyward the save tonight instead of the G’s reliever
Rich Town - April 11, 2010
its
official we suck. Trade Hanson and Heyward
Erihury - April 11, 2010
Sell the farm, too, right?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
We have a farm and we haven’t put that in the lineup too????
schlagdawg - April 11, 2010
Barbaro Canizares
should be our clean up hitter.
Erihury - April 11, 2010
Shoot
He should be the GM
Skyagusta - April 11, 2010
Phillies got Washington, Marlins got Cincinnati tomorrow. Great.
Jose Rodriguez - April 11, 2010
well
we got San Diego so its not to bad
Erihury - April 11, 2010
Observation:
The TC Heyward HR logo was down today, and Heyward hit another one.
THE THEORY STILL HOLDS!!
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
hahaha
atl192485 - April 11, 2010
im telling you
without the logo, Heyward is 3 for 3. He’s gonna hit 159.
Scott Coleman - April 11, 2010
What?
You don’t think he’ll have any multi-HR games?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
plus
HR on off-days where we don’t play!
atl192485 - April 11, 2010
oh shit
lets go with 200 then.
Scott Coleman - April 11, 2010
How I feel
http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg265/SouthernFriedFan/humor/thfirestomp.gif
Glad we got the Padres tomorrow
FalconUdean - April 11, 2010
ha!
that’s the dumbest thing i’ve ever seen
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
Gwinnett should play for Atlanta.
Jose Rodriguez - April 11, 2010
See everyone tomorrow
it’s my first series tomorrow…hope it goes well.
Scott Coleman - April 11, 2010
good luck.
Jose Rodriguez - April 11, 2010
best of luck
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
Bein’ mad at Matty D is like bein’ mad at your smartest student in class.
Jose Rodriguez - April 11, 2010
fades fast?
makes you chuckle?
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
Night all
FalconUdean - April 11, 2010
BRING BACK
GREG NORTON
Erihury - April 11, 2010
if that happens, i would wear a Yankees shirt and scream that I’m gay for A-Rod.
Jose Rodriguez - April 11, 2010
wow
i had already wiped him from memory.
thanks a lot
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
np.
Jose Rodriguez - April 11, 2010
What about
BRING BACK DIORY HERNANDEZ or SCOTT THORMAN
Erihury - April 11, 2010
Dude! Thorman!
God, he was Casey Kotchman without the glove. Yuck.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - April 11, 2010
Kotch was way better.
at least he put the ball in play with regularity
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
dang it...
now the Suns are giving it up. If they blow this game, I will have a hard time sleeping.
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
Goran Dragic
is great.
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
Brian Jordan just said that Kung-fu Panda plays good defense at third base...
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 11, 2010
what does he know?
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
Good night.
Jareth Cutestory - April 11, 2010
After Heyward’s first week as a Major Leaguer….
6 games, .292 BA, 3 HR, 8 RBI, .708 SLG
Successful.
