Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
According to Happy Gilmore, Chip would make a great golfer…huge ass. I was walking behind him one day at the Ted; I had no idea they made pants in that shape.
Zabe and Andy were like at some sports bar and Zabe totally interrupted whatever they were talking about to talk to said dude wearing the jersey. Awesome.
I understand Bobby had to do something. I’m just waiting for all the people who wanted Melky’s head on a pike after 20 bad PAs, to do the same for Diaz since he’s playing just as poorly. It ain’t gonna happen though, which is bullshit.
and he is one of the team leaders in walks and one of the league leaders in pitches per plate appearance. It isn’t like he is K-ing every AB or looking lost at the plate. It’s called a slump. Get over it.
realistically, probably 200 PAs…but 100 PAs at the very least. I know it’s tough b/c McLouth, Melky, and Diaz all suck right now but we just gotta try to be patient. It’s not like they’re all going to just stop hitting this year.
Not bullshit at all. Have you forgotten that Diaz has actually been an above average player in his career & Milky has not? Maybe that’s the difference instead of double standards.
Maybe…Schafer has good power, but he also takes walks and has good OBP. Sizemore-lite is the ceiling…but maybe he’ll turn into a Rasmus type if he develops properly.
I think he would do just fine in the leadoff role, but he might be best utilized elsewhere.
I see a lot of Sizemore in Slim Schafer. Now, he’s not equal to him, but has the same sort of skill set (lower contact rates, high pitch counts, good speed, good OBP, nice pop). And Sizemore was leadoff for a while.
And yeah, I know Rasmus isn’t a leadoff, but I was conjecturing a different development path where he develops more power.
Yeah, I dunno. I don’t think he’d be a prototypical leadoff hitter, but with the pitches he sees, the walks, and the speed I think he would be at least serviceable. Certainly better than anything we have right now. The only thing that would worry me would be contact rate.
Yeah, maybe he’s feeling the pressure to deliver in leadoff too much.
Heck I don’t know – it seems to be the single position we’re having trouble filling.
So in the excitement of Heyward and Hinske being badasses, we missed the real revelation of this inning: Melky hit a ball into the air. Like, it went higher than 6 feet off the ground!
I loved that movie, but I saw it really early when there were no expectations about a good movie. Perhaps the same holds here where you’re only seeing it due to the hype that it got.
I know that someone created a dumbass line-up optimization tool that used historical linear weights for positions, and it determined that it doesn’t matter who hits 8th because it thinks the 9th batter is a pitcher, no matter who is in that spot in the line-up.
When you’re talking about those bottom spots in the line-up, the impact that they have the line-up is very minimal. So put your worst hitters there, not a decent one.

Yeah, i forgot to edit it at first…just trying to not clutter up the front page with so many Open Threads
Scott Coleman - April 15, 2010
So when do people start giving Diaz a hard time for his rough start? Or does he get a free pass for some unknown reason?
Smoltz's Beard - April 15, 2010
still hitting better than Melky?
UltimaParadox - April 15, 2010
ha, not by much
Smoltz's Beard - April 15, 2010
I don’t think he should be leading off
MatM - April 15, 2010
Me either
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
agreed
not a great leadoff hitter
UltimaParadox - April 15, 2010
concur
Lizziebeth - April 15, 2010
his rough start was overshadowed by gluas, nate and melky.
but diaz really hasn’t played as much as they have.
Braves Biceps - April 15, 2010
yeah, but people started giving melky shit after the same amount of PAs diaz has now
Smoltz's Beard - April 15, 2010
Melky started off negative
Since he is part of the package that sent Javy out of here
UltimaParadox - April 15, 2010
I understand that. People should be able to separate that from his actual play though. It’ll never happen, but I’m just saying.
Smoltz's Beard - April 15, 2010
agree
However, some people like me always thought he was the most over-rated player in the game when he was with the Yankees.
Then bam he is on your team
UltimaParadox - April 15, 2010
He wasn’t even the most over rated player on that team.
justincredubil02 - April 15, 2010
who was?
Mr. Sanchez - April 15, 2010
Most overrated? I gotta say Jeter – as usual. Not saying Jeter was the worst player, but most overrated.
Maybe even CC…
justincredubil02 - April 15, 2010
But they are good
real good.
How could you not go with Joba?

Smoltz's Beard - April 15, 2010
Gotya…I thought your comment was directed towards Hudson…

I guess the shirt I make for this season has to be “FISTINGS” in baseball script with “Chip” on the back with an arbitrary number
royhobbs - April 15, 2010
double zero?
fphjr01 - April 15, 2010
Better yet

Mr. Sanchez - April 15, 2010
Listening to the radio on the way home
Apparently there was a Caps fan with a Caps jersey that was double zero, and the name on the back was “Suck it Crosby”
fphjr01 - April 15, 2010
lol
Smoltz's Beard - April 15, 2010
Do you listen to the sports reporters?
Zabe and Andy were like at some sports bar and Zabe totally interrupted whatever they were talking about to talk to said dude wearing the jersey. Awesome.

can I wear this shirt in public?
UltimaParadox - April 15, 2010
Heyward walks

Not to me…
justincredubil02 - April 15, 2010
Me thinks thou doth protest too much…
bravos1984 - April 15, 2010
Heyward was safe
ball bounced Eckstein short hop
UltimaParadox - April 15, 2010
Tough luck.
justincredubil02 - April 15, 2010
Chip… you are wrong. It was not a baserunning mistake. Shut the hell up
BigG1392 - April 15, 2010
He was pretty well screwed even if the ball were simply knocked down.
carpengui - April 15, 2010
aaawww crap
Glaus hit that one too hard. Too bad he doesn’t suck, that would’ve just been 1 out
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
wasn't that mclouth?
Smoltz's Beard - April 15, 2010
Yes. Yes it was.
justincredubil02 - April 15, 2010
whoops
well nevermind then… i’ve been in and out, clearly not playing attention
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
Chip
Not really a base running mistake, retard. That ball was smoked
UltimaParadox - April 15, 2010
exactly. he’s dumb
BigG1392 - April 15, 2010
That dude is killing us.

BigG1392 - April 15, 2010
does anyone have stats
on how bad our leadoff hitters are hitting, including matty D today?
atl192485 - April 15, 2010
.059/.200/.088 slash stats coming into today, too lazy to add in today’s performance to that but it won’t change anything.

Never thought I say that.

I think you can go get him now……

Because he seems to have this unfathomable vendetta against the Braves that nobody can understand

PRADO WITH A NICE CATCH!!
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 15, 2010

romone_braves91 - April 15, 2010
Prado is a bad man...
letsgobravos - April 15, 2010
Nice play Prado
HEYJUDE - April 15, 2010
Prado is on another level right now
Smoltz's Beard - April 15, 2010
Who knew Prado could jump like that?

1984 throwbacks – both teams
NCChopper - April 15, 2010
Huddy's getting hit hard this inning
Hope he gets through it OK
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
I’m amazed he’s making it through 6 innings after what is pitch count was at in the 4th.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 15, 2010
don't be so sure about that yet
that wasn’t pretty
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
I know.
Perhaps I spoke too soon :(
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 15, 2010
Two outs now!
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 15, 2010
Matt Stairs!
Jose Rodriguez - April 15, 2010
4/5 lifetime vs. Hudson
ruh roh
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
make that 5/6
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
5 for 6 now.
Ivan the Great - April 15, 2010
(SP), Moylan, Saito, Wagner
do it
fphjr01 - April 15, 2010
I hope Stairs doesn't homer
I don’t want to hear about guys pounding his ass and him liking it
royhobbs - April 15, 2010
LOL
soup du jour - April 15, 2010
Matt Stairs is still around?
Ivan the Great - April 15, 2010
Man oh man, he's in good shape now!
HEYJUDE - April 15, 2010

dc_allday - April 15, 2010
If he hits a home run
are they allowed to pinch run for him at the plate so he doesn’t have to run the bases?
GeneParmesan - April 15, 2010
huddy is done... take him out
Braves Biceps - April 15, 2010
+1
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
Nah, I leave him in to see if he can finish this inning.
soup du jour - April 15, 2010
Unnnnnnless he walks him.
soup du jour - April 15, 2010
not sure he can
he’s not looking good at all
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
I would make this his last batter, at any rate.
soup du jour - April 15, 2010
No
I need the QS in fantasy
Skyagusta - April 15, 2010
fantasy win over a real win?
Braves Biceps - April 15, 2010
I'd like both
Skyagusta - April 15, 2010
Wow. Hudson with 0 Ks?
TonyAlmeyda - April 15, 2010
behind in the count all day
UltimaParadox - April 15, 2010
Also hard to get punchouts when it’s impossible to figure out what’s a strike and what isn’t.
Ivan the Great - April 15, 2010
true
UltimaParadox - April 15, 2010
im facing him in fantasy
id rather he get the w and have 0 k’s haha
dc_allday - April 15, 2010
-1. I have him on MY side.
carpengui - April 15, 2010
I’m almost 40 points behind in my fantasy league. >.<
TonyAlmeyda - April 15, 2010
Stop. This. Now.
NCChopper - April 15, 2010
pitcher's spot first up next inning, so bobby wants hudson to finish this inning
atl192485 - April 15, 2010
just go to
EOF for 1 out (LH hitter due up)
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
EOF and meds up
atl192485 - April 15, 2010
Huddy’s last pitch…?
justincredubil02 - April 15, 2010
unless it's foul
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
Throw a strike…

fphjr01 - April 15, 2010
no way
he was out
UltimaParadox - April 15, 2010
Damn it..
Jose Rodriguez - April 15, 2010
HE WAS OUT.
justincredubil02 - April 15, 2010
Nah, Mac whiffed.
soup du jour - April 15, 2010
Unfortunately true
royhobbs - April 15, 2010
Poor throw
Skyagusta - April 15, 2010
Naw
Mac whiffed on his leg by a good 6".
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
NVM…Heap missed.
justincredubil02 - April 15, 2010
UGH
Can we pull him now please?
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
thought Heap had him, bad angle i guess
Smoltz's Beard - April 15, 2010
Yeah, it was a bad angle...
Tag never touched him… :(
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 15, 2010
“It was a funny angle”
Smoltz's Beard - April 15, 2010
"it was behind ya tyrone"
“when you reverse, things come from behind ya”
kreese555 - April 15, 2010
Too far up the line
bravos1984 - April 15, 2010
Yeah
Terrible throw there from Matty
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
Who cares! He hits better than Melky, so he should start! Defense isn’t important.
justincredubil02 - April 15, 2010
Thats BULL!!!!!!!!!
He was out!
Dawg013 - April 15, 2010
check the replay
Mac never touched him
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
whiff tag
carpengui - April 15, 2010
huddy gone
ds
dc_allday - April 15, 2010
never mind
phantom whiff
UltimaParadox - April 15, 2010
nah. he was safe.
Jose Rodriguez - April 15, 2010
how come
Heap never protects the plate
UltimaParadox - April 15, 2010
He had to go up the line a bit to get the ball
bravos1984 - April 15, 2010
alot of the throws are coming up short
Smoltz's Beard - April 15, 2010
Because first he has to catch the ball
Skyagusta - April 15, 2010
I guess it was a more general question
Granted it was close on the last play, but its a common theme
UltimaParadox - April 15, 2010
Those walks from being squeezed made him throw way more pitches than he would have
MatM - April 15, 2010
Hudson’s all like, “Haha, bullpen, not going to blow this one for me!”
We’ll see what Medlen/O’Flaherty have to see about that.
Ivan the Great - April 15, 2010
Technically, they can’t blow it for him, since the runner on 2nd is his.
justincredubil02 - April 15, 2010
The Capt. with a 2B and HR tonight already
fphjr01 - April 15, 2010
bravo bobby cox…. bravo…. once again leaves a pitcher in far too long
Braves Biceps - April 15, 2010
100 pitches/5.2 innings?
And 2 ER? Really?
Skyagusta - April 15, 2010
It was very clear 3 batters ago
that Huddy was done
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
whats yo logic?
dc_allday - April 15, 2010
Bravo phantom poster…bravo…once again, you come into the game thread to post some drivel only when something goes wrong.
justincredubil02 - April 15, 2010
Only one run though.
And we still have the lead. Stop the bleeding here and we’re still in good shape.
soup du jour - April 15, 2010
I'd really like it
if more of our pitchers could get through 7 innings. This whole 5+ or 6 inning thing is OK now but needs to improve by the end of the year
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
THIS
atl192485 - April 15, 2010
agreed
TonyAlmeyda - April 15, 2010
Moylan will have to learn to pitch lefty.
Ivan the Great - April 15, 2010
you doubt he can?
Mr. Sanchez - April 15, 2010
Then he can pitch 160 games instead of 80!!
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 15, 2010
Huddy’s good for a CG or two throughout the season. He’s usually pretty stingy with the pitch count.
FineHamAbounds - April 15, 2010
too many fucking walks. umps certainly aren’t helping
Smoltz's Beard - April 15, 2010
Huddy with only 2 runs again – I hope it’s enough to get the WIN this time.
Damn, our pitchers have to pitch without mistakes to even have a chance.
Well, except Lowe.
NCChopper - April 15, 2010
medlen in for .1 inning?
atl192485 - April 15, 2010
nope
melky due up ninth
dc_allday - April 15, 2010
Unless
Bobby made a double switch
royhobbs - April 15, 2010
Double switch
soup du jour - April 15, 2010
ah, smart
atl192485 - April 15, 2010
I'm ok
all of Meds runs have come in his 2nd inning pitched
fphjr01 - April 15, 2010
I miss Oscar Villareal. He could come in in this situation, blow the lead, but a win would be guaranteed.
GeneParmesan - April 15, 2010
lol
Wasn’t he like 8-0 that one year?
soup du jour - April 15, 2010
he won 10 I know
forget if he lost any
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
Whoops
9-1 in 2006. Close
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
That might have actually been 20 seconds.
Nice work!
soup du jour - April 15, 2010

Oscar also went 10-7 (with 1 start) in 2003

And now we have our leadoff tandem ready to go: Melky and Diaz.
carpengui - April 15, 2010

we need runs!
atl192485 - April 15, 2010
Yes!
We need the lucky new thread…
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 15, 2010
Who is due up?
Did Melky replace Mclouth or Diaz
UltimaParadox - April 15, 2010
Nate
carpengui - April 15, 2010
Or Hudson, technically.
carpengui - April 15, 2010
bleh
just when Nate was having a good night, but game is getting short
UltimaParadox - April 15, 2010
yes
pitcher spot now 8th Melky, Diaz, Prado due up
fphjr01 - April 15, 2010
Its just fortuitous that it worked out that way.
With Nate making the last out so we can have the pitcher up in 9 batters.
soup du jour - April 15, 2010
Alright. Let’s get some runs here!
BigG1392 - April 15, 2010
Melky is going yard
I can feel it
royhobbs - April 15, 2010
he doesn't have the RF of yankee stadium
Kobe:The Legend - April 15, 2010
this
UltimaParadox - April 15, 2010
That didn't help him at all
except on 1 HR. Check hittracker
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
No, that’s too difficult. It’s easier to just assume.
Smoltz's Beard - April 15, 2010
he did not hit that many to begin with
UltimaParadox - April 15, 2010
So what you're saying is
Yankee stadium’s short RF line helped Melky a lot… except it didn’t. Thanks for that.
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
wow
That’s an interesting feeling. I just hope he hits it hard
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
i’ll take a walk
Smoltz's Beard - April 15, 2010
or a ground out…should have seen that coming
Smoltz's Beard - April 15, 2010

Jose Rodriguez - April 15, 2010
Melky once again with a lot of pitches and a GBO…
justincredubil02 - April 15, 2010
once he figures out
how to hit line drives again, he’ll be pretty good
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
Melky with another out....
He needs to start hitting them out of the infield!
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 15, 2010
If only his name was Greg Gregersen.
Hey, a medium-speed roller this time!
Ivan the Great - April 15, 2010

that's what she said
Mr. Sanchez - April 15, 2010

Kobe:The Legend - April 15, 2010
fucking annoying
lol
dc_allday - April 15, 2010
wow
You’ve got a lot to learn, kid.
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
We should start keeping a count of how many times this question gets asked.
justincredubil02 - April 15, 2010
sounds good to me
Smoltz's Beard - April 15, 2010
Come on
Bobby had do something about Melky
Guess for MClouth back to leadoff?
UltimaParadox - April 15, 2010
All Bobby had to do about Melky was let him get out of his funk. Melky is simply not getting results. He is doing everything else nearly perfectly.
justincredubil02 - April 15, 2010
+1
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
huh?
Well he did he moved him to 8th in the lineup yesterday…
I am just saying he had to move him out of the leadoff spot
UltimaParadox - April 15, 2010
And replace him with….Diaz? At least Melky is making pitchers work right now – Nate too, for that matter.
justincredubil02 - April 15, 2010
Melky hit 8th yesterday? did he not
Melky is not doing much better he is not even hitting the ball very hard, his LD% is plummeting and his K rate is going up
UltimaParadox - April 15, 2010
He did hit 8th.
justincredubil02 - April 15, 2010
I understand Bobby had to do something. I’m just waiting for all the people who wanted Melky’s head on a pike after 20 bad PAs, to do the same for Diaz since he’s playing just as poorly. It ain’t gonna happen though, which is bullshit.
Smoltz's Beard - April 15, 2010
Apparently you forget, Matt Diaz F’n rules!
…. Yeah, double standards suck
BraveSaluki - April 15, 2010
not knocking you just a real question
how many ABs do we give Melky at this point though?
I mean really with all three hitting horribly we really dont have an option though.
But how long do you wait? 50AB? 100AB? 200AB?
UltimaParadox - April 15, 2010
More than 20…
justincredubil02 - April 15, 2010
He is at 40 now?
UltimaParadox - April 15, 2010
How long should the Yankees wait on Teixiera?
justincredubil02 - April 15, 2010
I expect him to be optioned to AAA within the week.
If not given his outright release.
soup du jour - April 15, 2010
lol
Smoltz's Beard - April 15, 2010
They should give up on him.
They can trade him to us for JoJo Reyes – even swap.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 15, 2010
How long should the Sox have waited on Ruth?
Skyagusta - April 15, 2010
and he is one of the team leaders in walks and one of the league leaders in pitches per plate appearance. It isn’t like he is K-ing every AB or looking lost at the plate. It’s called a slump. Get over it.
justincredubil02 - April 15, 2010
Milky is in the same league as Tex how? It’s not even a comparable situation.
I hope we don’t wait on Milky for 4 yeats like the Skanks did.
FitzFan - April 15, 2010
I don’t know what a “yeat” is, but no where did I say that Melky was like Teixiera.
justincredubil02 - April 15, 2010
realistically, probably 200 PAs…but 100 PAs at the very least. I know it’s tough b/c McLouth, Melky, and Diaz all suck right now but we just gotta try to be patient. It’s not like they’re all going to just stop hitting this year.
Smoltz's Beard - April 15, 2010
Thats what they said about Frenchy
Skyagusta - April 15, 2010
Except Frenchy’s problem wasn’t BABIP – it was no walks, lots of Ks and poor plate discipline – pretty much the complete opposite of Melky.
justincredubil02 - April 15, 2010
I know
I’m just ramblin
Skyagusta - April 15, 2010
Not sure I follow…?
Smoltz's Beard - April 15, 2010
thanks
People took my question out of context..
I think 100PA would be about right, because then you have the minors to work it out
UltimaParadox - April 15, 2010
No worries. It’s just as painful for me to watch and wait, trust me.
Smoltz's Beard - April 15, 2010
Not bullshit at all. Have you forgotten that Diaz has actually been an above average player in his career & Milky has not? Maybe that’s the difference instead of double standards.
FitzFan - April 15, 2010
lol
justincredubil02 - April 15, 2010
cool story
Smoltz's Beard - April 15, 2010
Jesus...
DogDaysofSummer - April 15, 2010
Matt’s doing great in the leadoff role…..NOT
BrunscoBrave - April 15, 2010
We don't have a leadoff hitter, been saying it for two years...
hopefully Rose, if not Schafer. I just don’t see Schafer as a leadoff.
Mr. Sanchez - April 15, 2010
Maybe…Schafer has good power, but he also takes walks and has good OBP. Sizemore-lite is the ceiling…but maybe he’ll turn into a Rasmus type if he develops properly.
I think he would do just fine in the leadoff role, but he might be best utilized elsewhere.
soup du jour - April 15, 2010
Sizemore-lite? You mean McLouth? Yeah, not a leadoff. Neither is Rasmus.
Mr. Sanchez - April 15, 2010
No, I mean Sizemore.
I see a lot of Sizemore in Slim Schafer. Now, he’s not equal to him, but has the same sort of skill set (lower contact rates, high pitch counts, good speed, good OBP, nice pop). And Sizemore was leadoff for a while.
And yeah, I know Rasmus isn’t a leadoff, but I was conjecturing a different development path where he develops more power.
soup du jour - April 15, 2010
What I meant was, Sizemore lite...
or like Sizemore but not as good, is McLouth to me.
Mr. Sanchez - April 15, 2010
Oh, rainbows.
Yeah, I dunno. I don’t think he’d be a prototypical leadoff hitter, but with the pitches he sees, the walks, and the speed I think he would be at least serviceable. Certainly better than anything we have right now. The only thing that would worry me would be contact rate.
soup du jour - April 15, 2010
Same here...
and just don’t think he’ll be good enough. That’s McLouth’s problem too, hence the comparison.
Mr. Sanchez - April 15, 2010
Where’s the Matty D of old?
Jose Rodriguez - April 15, 2010
I've seen Diaz swing at some bad bitches, but that 2nd pitch...
that was in the dirt in the left hand batters box might take the cake.
letsgobravos - April 15, 2010

carpengui - April 15, 2010
Has Prado always stepped in the bucket like that?
Its maddening…but it sure does work for him.

royhobbs - April 15, 2010
Anyone asking why we chose him over KJ?

Yeah, well what idiot schedules a mid-week game for 3:30pm local time?
carpengui - April 15, 2010
I’m going to a Tides/Braves game next Thursday at noon.
justincredubil02 - April 15, 2010
Yeah
We don’t suck so bad if you actually compare us to other teams. Most teams have trouble breaking 25K on weeknights during school
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
lol
attendance is 16k

that’d be like the Price is Right going $1.

Jose Rodriguez - April 15, 2010
Haven't been a Braves fan that long, have you?
royhobbs - April 15, 2010
Dan Kolb still gives me nightmares
Too soon…its still too soon
DogDaysofSummer - April 15, 2010
Who did we give up for him?
Cappellan?
Mr. Sanchez - April 15, 2010
I don't remember
But whatever it was it wasn’t good since we got him after a year where he had a sub 2 ERA for Milwaukee.
DogDaysofSummer - April 15, 2010
Yes
and he’s done nothing for them, so it’s ok
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
Been a fan since ’95.
Jose Rodriguez - April 15, 2010
not paying much attention then?
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
And you don’t remember Kolb, Wickman, and Reitsma?
royhobbs - April 15, 2010
Think about the year he bacame a fan…kind of like Red Sox Nation now – they can’t even name the starting lineup.
justincredubil02 - April 15, 2010
Damn the worst thing you can call a fan of sports. Fair weather fan.
romone_braves91 - April 15, 2010
oh. i remember wickman. not much of kolb and reitsma.
Jose Rodriguez - April 15, 2010
Your so lucky.
DogDaysofSummer - April 15, 2010
Worst “closers” ever
royhobbs - April 15, 2010
One might even call them...

…
God I suck.
DogDaysofSummer - April 15, 2010
got a chuckle out of me
Smoltz's Beard - April 15, 2010
I agree. Three runs or less going into the ninth, the Braves would lose. So many 1 run loses over the years. Ridic.
romone_braves91 - April 15, 2010
Smoltz
Should’ve been like 21-9 in 2006 but the bullpen blew like 6 of his games
royhobbs - April 15, 2010
And strangely enough...
For the longest time our only reliable closer was Smoltz.
DogDaysofSummer - April 15, 2010
consider yourself lucky
Smoltz's Beard - April 15, 2010
wow. they were THAT bad.
Jose Rodriguez - April 15, 2010
Dont forget Wohlers starting in 1998.
bravos1984 - April 15, 2010
Nope.
Apparently gonna be EOF/Saito/Wagner
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 15, 2010
Huh. I thought Meds would do the seventh.
carpengui - April 15, 2010
Bobby loooooves his matchups.
Ivan the Great - April 15, 2010
So did I
It seems a waste to have him just pitch for one out….especially when they did a double switch.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 15, 2010
I was excited to see Diaz with the chances at leadoff- but it’s been very disappointing these 2 games.
Maybe he’s better lower in the order.
NCChopper - April 15, 2010
Definitely better as a 6-7 type guy
or maybe a #2
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
you mean...
like where he’s always been?
Mr. Sanchez - April 15, 2010
Yeah, maybe he’s feeling the pressure to deliver in leadoff too much.
Heck I don’t know – it seems to be the single position we’re having trouble filling.
NCChopper - April 15, 2010

Medlen for one out. EOF for one out. Now they’re bringing in Moylan? Does Bobby have a rule that says Moylan must pitch in every game?

We’d better pray this game doesn’t go into extra innings….

royhobbs - April 15, 2010
Thats just science.
McCann and McWill - April 15, 2010
Don't make me dream
Mr. Sanchez - April 15, 2010
Why trade for Bourn?
We should just sign Corey Patterson for leadoff. He’s fast.and junk.

That wasn’t clutch, though.

He can’t put up a rookie line like Pujols did at 21, can he?
Mr. Sanchez - April 15, 2010
I dunno man…Braun did
Smoltz's Beard - April 15, 2010
I'd be happy with Braun too

jason heyward
holy fuck, he’s good
atl192485 - April 15, 2010
We all knew he would be...
I don’t think we really expected him to be this good this soon, though. Can you imagine if this is just him having a typical rookie year (relatively)?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 15, 2010
Albert Pujols 2.0
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
idk if i thought he wouldnt be this good this soon, on the contrary...
i was hoping he would finish the year batting .998 with 240 homers. Ive been oftly disappointed thus far
Dawg013 - April 15, 2010
Heh.
Yes, but there’s a difference between “hoping” and “expecting”.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 15, 2010
touche my friend, touche
i gotta say though, i was expecting about .300 with about 20-25 HRs

romone_braves91 - April 15, 2010
HEYYYYYYYYYYY-WARDDDDDDDDDDDD!

Dear god
If this were any other park, that might be a homer. Who does he think he is with these towering oppy hits, Chipper Jones??
royhobbs - April 15, 2010
Hooray for 2 out RBI
fphjr01 - April 15, 2010
That would have been a homerun
In most parks

Why put one in the strike zone on 1-2 after he just chased one in the dirt?
Not that I’m complaining
Skyagusta - April 15, 2010
But he did chase that low breaking ball. C-.
Ron A. - April 15, 2010
lol
Smoltz's Beard - April 15, 2010
Heyward’s ridiculous plate coverage makes me think that eventually opposing pitchers are just going to avoid giving him anything to hit altogether.
And that’s when you move him into the two-hole…
Ivan the Great - April 15, 2010
3-hole before too long
too awesome with RISP
UltimaParadox - April 15, 2010
Lineup analysis
says to not put your best hitting #3—comes up too often with 2 out no one on. So #2 or #4 would be better
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
You and your stats.
McCann and McWill - April 15, 2010
I know, right?
Facts are always getting in the way of things. So inconvenient

prado and heyward
atl192485 - April 15, 2010
By who?
Mr. Sanchez - April 15, 2010
We need
him driving in runs
UltimaParadox - April 15, 2010
Or scoring runs...
and Chipper, McCann, etc can drive him in
Mr. Sanchez - April 15, 2010
He WOULD get the most ABs this way…
soup du jour - April 15, 2010

Would you bat Pujols lead off? Exactly
romone_braves91 - April 15, 2010
He comes the 2nd coming of Buzz Killington…Melky.

That is a good sign, and hopefully a push for him toward the Rockies series tomorrow.
Jose Rodriguez - April 15, 2010
Hello everyone. I’ve been working and having dinner with family.
How did Huddy do?
fandave - April 15, 2010
Not bad, walked a ton though. Frustration over the ump’s strike zone for the most part
BigG1392 - April 15, 2010
5 2/3, 6 hits, 2 runs, 5 walks, 0 K
TonyAlmeyda - April 15, 2010
Hot and Cold
5.2IP too many walks, but looked good in two o fthem
royhobbs - April 15, 2010
So so...
He was kinda shakey, but he got screwed on a lot of calls from an inconsistent strike zone.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 15, 2010
First five were good
6th gave up 2 runs
TheBravestWay To Block A Decent Prospect - April 15, 2010
Umps were stingy with the K zone. Lots of walks for Huddy.
romone_braves91 - April 15, 2010
Wish Wagner would have a save situation though.. I’d like to see him get closer to his milestone
BigG1392 - April 15, 2010
just
bring in jo-jo for 3 pitches, then wagner can have his save opportunity
atl192485 - April 15, 2010
This is true
HEYJUDE - April 15, 2010
This is false
JoJo thowing 3 pitches = 5 runs scored. We would be losing 7 – 6 then!
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 15, 2010
Saito in.
Jose Rodriguez - April 15, 2010
Heyward should be batting 3rd or 5th
Just saying.
JasonHeywardisGod - April 15, 2010
I thought
We were going to use him sparingly that is Saito
UltimaParadox - April 15, 2010
He's been crazy good though
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
4.1IP, 8K's, including the last one
18 k/9 works for me
fphjr01 - April 15, 2010
yeah
him and moylan are awesome
But he is 40 and cant pitch 9000000 games like Moylan
UltimaParadox - April 15, 2010
not sure Moylan is any more reliable
He’s missed more time the past 3 years than Saito has, remember
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
true
I guess age is not always a great factor
Of course all of Moylans time was for the Tommy John
UltimaParadox - April 15, 2010
"sparingly"
is not in bobby cox’s bullpen dictionary
atl192485 - April 15, 2010
Sparingly in Bobby Cox world means three times every two games.
Ivan the Great - April 15, 2010
lol
no
TheBravestWay To Block A Decent Prospect - April 15, 2010
So in the excitement of Heyward and Hinske being badasses, we missed the real revelation of this inning: Melky hit a ball into the air. Like, it went higher than 6 feet off the ground!

Kinda like Aaron Harang himself

He was a horse, and while he was still the 5 WAR guy, I’d have wanted him

One Opening Day he pitched an extra inning 10.0 IP complete game

Russ Ortiz needs to write a book on giving a great interview, because his job skills can’t be the reason he still gets a job
a hooter's baby - April 15, 2010
I love
that the dodgers employ both R. Ortizes, Brad Ausmus, and FUGA. What a team!
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
...Easier to bat 8th because pitchers don't throw you strikes?
Bronn - April 15, 2010
Easier to WALK 8th.
FineHamAbounds - April 15, 2010
Proctor had a good outing down in AAA. 1 inning of work, gave up 2 hits, and struck out 1.
Jose Rodriguez - April 15, 2010
eh
Not that good. Let me know when he starts giving up fewer hits
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
EJECT HIM!!!
justincredubil02 - April 15, 2010
oh no
prado went 2 for 5 and his avg dropped!
atl192485 - April 15, 2010
Yeah....
Being awesome is hard work. He’s gonna have off nights.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 15, 2010
Prado’s only hitting .459!! BENCH HIM!!
TonyAlmeyda - April 15, 2010
Heyward has more hits (10) than McLouth, Melky, and Diaz combined (9)
BravesFanScout - April 15, 2010
Well, he has played every day and they haven’t. But point taken.
FineHamAbounds - April 15, 2010
Every day only 1 of him play, but 2 of them
Mr. Sanchez - April 15, 2010
exactly
BravesFanScout - April 15, 2010
And I believe that Melky and McLouth have fewer Ks combined…
justincredubil02 - April 15, 2010
Actually Jason has 12 Ks to Melky and McLouth's 15 Ks. Melky, McLouth, Diaz have 22 Ks combined.
not much of a comparison. Jason has struck out more times that each player, but he is still caring the outfield offense all alone.
BravesFanScout - April 15, 2010
ROFL
So what you’re say is…..Heyward should man the outfield by himself, too? Seeing as he already is providing all the offensive production.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 15, 2010
Basically...
actually i’m just showing how terrible out other 3 guys have been
BravesFanScout - April 15, 2010
That comparison is not fair. Those other players are not on the same level as Heyward.
romone_braves91 - April 15, 2010

BravesFanScout - April 15, 2010
By the next game - I gotta show y'all
a photo of my sneakers. Remind me.
NCChopper - April 15, 2010
Yes'm.
soup du jour - April 15, 2010
Will do!
HEYJUDE - April 15, 2010
Yes Chip, put a good batter 9th so that Pujols can hit 3 grand slams in a game.
Bronn - April 15, 2010
Hitting pitchers 8th
is, logically speaking, the best thing to do. You’d need the guy hitting 9th to be okay with it though
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
This makes no sense to me
Why put a decent hitter down low where he gets fewer plate appearances. It’s the opposite of logic.
Bronn - April 15, 2010
It’s been shown to produce more runs. You get your better hitters at the top of the lineup coming up with more runners on base.
Ron A. - April 15, 2010
Well
The idea is that, since the 1-2-3 guys are your best hitters, you want to have a decent guy up before them.
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
But for that to work...
Don’t you have to ignore that your 3 best hitters should be 1-2-4?
soup du jour - April 15, 2010
sorry,
should have said 1-2-3-4
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
Why not just move them down and put that guy batting first, then?
If you have another decent hitter who needs to be on base when the good hitters are up, put him at the top of the line-up.
Show me how this makes mathematical sense.
Bronn - April 15, 2010
Because he’s not good enough to be batting 1st. The idea is not to have a good hitter batting 9th, it’s to have your worst hitter batting 8th.
Ron A. - April 15, 2010
Look it up
lots of really smart dudes have studied this, and they unanimously say bat the pitcher 8th.
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
I know that someone created a dumbass line-up optimization tool that used historical linear weights for positions, and it determined that it doesn’t matter who hits 8th because it thinks the 9th batter is a pitcher, no matter who is in that spot in the line-up.
When you’re talking about those bottom spots in the line-up, the impact that they have the line-up is very minimal. So put your worst hitters there, not a decent one.
Bronn - April 15, 2010
Also
just because something doesn’t make sense to you at first, that doesn’t mean it’s not logical
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
There was a post on beyond the boxscore about this
The maximum difference doing the non-intuitive lineup is like 5 runs a year — 0.5 a win. So its no big deal.
fphjr01 - April 15, 2010
true
Jacob Peterson - April 15, 2010
Ah
TV feed is lost!?!?!?!

NCChopper - April 15, 2010
Ugh Wagner in
oh well got to get the W
UltimaParadox - April 15, 2010
That happens a lot. Braves have enough runs to barely have it not count as a save situation.
romone_braves91 - April 15, 2010
8th inning over....last chance for the Padres
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 15, 2010
Later everyone.

See ya!
Night.
soup du jour - April 15, 2010
Next time.
NCChopper - April 15, 2010
Why is Wagner coming in??? So we’ve probably got no Wagner, no Saito, and likely no Moylan for tomorrow’s game. Damn it Bobby!
dunnytwogloves - April 15, 2010
No Saito or Wagner
but Moylan is always available
UltimaParadox - April 15, 2010
It’s only two days of work. Normally closers have three days of throwing.
romone_braves91 - April 15, 2010
suppose to be cautious with Wagner
just came off of tommy John
UltimaParadox - April 15, 2010
well played…..Mauer.
romone_braves91 - April 15, 2010
by “just came off” you mean over a year ago, right?
justincredubil02 - April 15, 2010
I remember when Soriano was pitching on his 3rd straight game last year. He blew the save…just saying…
dunnytwogloves - April 15, 2010
Why Wagner? Why not Chavez or Dunn?
TonyAlmeyda - April 15, 2010
In a word, Bobby
HEYJUDE - April 15, 2010
thought so.
TonyAlmeyda - April 15, 2010
So he can be out there

I was actually about to post the same thing. Perhaps suggesting someone shove a baseball in her mouth.

She must be a stand in for the dude last night.

It would be such a tragedy if a foul ball “accidentally” knocked her out.

This.

Seriously...
what the heck is she yelling??

I really question Bobby’s game management, he is great dealing with people, but not with strategy.

Well yeah
That’s always been the tradeoff with him. Worked pretty well so far

Wags is pissed to be pitching in a 4 run game
fphjr01 - April 15, 2010
I think
His option vests with so many games finished though, not saves
UltimaParadox - April 15, 2010
That's 2
NCChopper - April 15, 2010
are these new?

Too bad its not a save situation.

Did Chip just say "Wags is really humping it up out there"?
HEYJUDE - April 15, 2010
thought he did.

Pretty sure he did…
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 15, 2010
Geez, fisted and now on to humping, what next?
HEYJUDE - April 15, 2010
I do believe I’ve heard Chip use this one, too: “He really stroked that one!”

I think you’ll like the picture I’m using in the recap.
