2 innings down. 7 runs for the Braves. DLowe was very lucky in the 1st inning and great in the 2nd inning.
Oh, and everyone besides Nate McLouth has a hit.
Bottom of the 5th. Our offense is alive, scoring 8 runs on 11 hits. Derek Lowe got a ton of run support and continues to be one of the biggest $60MM dollar busts in Braves history.
Everyone on the Braves has a hit.
Discuss.

Isn't there a running joke about guys like him?
Guys with names that defy racial expectations? I swear there’s a blog somewhere that keeps track of them.

Bill Simmons has a list of those names.
On the other hand, fuck Bill Simmons.

I like the way you think
a hooter's baby - April 16, 2010

Question of the night
Is Bobby going to bring Moylan in to pitch the 7th inning?
Bronn - April 16, 2010
You know he is...
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 16, 2010
he better not
esp. if lowe still has a shutout through 6
pfoley - April 16, 2010
Silly...
Starters can’t pitch more than 6 innings. Bobby Cox said so.

If Heyward has a 4 RBI night, he would have as many RBIs as they’ve scored runs as a team. Pujols has 15 RBIs, so he just needs one.
Unfortunately, Heyward is a slacker who has no RBIs tonight.

Well, give him a break – Esco keep ending the inning in front of him.

EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 16, 2010
Thanks. Me and my fiancee of 3 years called it off a few months ago. My brother’s gf tried setting me up with one of her friends but this chick was really, really boring., She spent like a half hour trying to explain to me why Jersey Shore is so awesome after I told her I had never seen it.

I mean, he was kind of old coming in-his first full season was his age 25 season. I don’t know if he’s done enough, considering that he’s probably only got a year or two left.

Full count again…. gets one through into center.
carpengui - April 16, 2010
This is random
but I was looking through some old baseball cards earlier and I have a Derek Lowe rookie card. lol
AlabamaTitans2009 - April 16, 2010
Im debating in my mind
Whether that would be worth anything…
UGARedcoat13 - April 16, 2010
maybe a dime
Jareth Cutestory - April 16, 2010
I doubt
it’s even worth a dime. lol 1 cent would be about right.
AlabamaTitans2009 - April 16, 2010
I'm
gonna be super rich when I sell that baby. lol
AlabamaTitans2009 - April 16, 2010
the 98 score?
bpk228480 - April 16, 2010
Yeah
how did you know? You got one too?
AlabamaTitans2009 - April 16, 2010
yeah I have that entire set….in multiples..they are pretty much worthless
bpk228480 - April 16, 2010
there goes the shutout
RBI double from Hawpe
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
LOWE SUCKS
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
I KNOW RIGHT
HE’S SO AWFUL
pfoley - April 16, 2010
Rut Roh… 8-1 double from Hawpe.
carpengui - April 16, 2010
Well hell. Shoutout foiled.
NCChopper - April 16, 2010
and just when lowe had an ERA of sub-3.5
he gives up a run
atl192485 - April 16, 2010
T-Minus 10 to epic implosion...?
UGARedcoat13 - April 16, 2010
Erm.

Chronic pessimism got to me there for a little bit. Gotta take my meds.
UGARedcoat13 - April 16, 2010
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
hawves - April 16, 2010
OMG
Joe just said Hawpe was “one of the very best right fielders in baseball”!!! Really?!?! He is literally the worst OF defensively. He is worse than Dunn!
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
hmm
maybe offensively is what he meant?
atl192485 - April 16, 2010
Nope
He was saying this as an addendum to talking about his hitting, as in “AND he’s a good fielder too”
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
maybe Joe just doesn’t know what he’s talking about
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
Apparently not.
I miss Boog.
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
we all
miss boog
inertia53 - April 16, 2010
no we don’t. why is everyone kneeling at his mantle? he wasn’t very good.
Jareth Cutestory - April 16, 2010
I loved Boog and Joe together. They fed off each other and it was very entertaining.
Joe and John are gonna be just as great or better I believe. Wish they were on FSS instead of Chip.

Jareth Cutestory - April 16, 2010
I prefer the fourth sentence.

Well, he's not worse than Dunn
But he’s not very good.

The numbers disagree
but the numbers have a lot of wiggle room I suppose

Subway is the greatest thing created since Jason Heyward.
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
Pretty sure
that Subway predates J-Hey
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
Read the Heyward Bible, son
Nothing predates Heyward.
Bronn - April 16, 2010
haha
I was gonna say something similar to this.
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
Heywardetics?
UGARedcoat13 - April 16, 2010
lol
Nice.
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
I thought the Big Bang created Heyward…..or was it the other way around…
bpk228480 - April 16, 2010
He had Chinese the night before.
Bronn - April 16, 2010
i've always wondered
do foreign tourists get confused walking into an american subway and finding food instead of transportation services?
atl192485 - April 16, 2010
I doubt that Subway is purely an American enterprise. In fact, I know they have them in places like France.
Bronn - April 16, 2010
The UK has them.
bravos1984 - April 16, 2010
Sandwich
is an international term. So I imagine they’d be unsurprised
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
OK
Lowe gets out of it. No big deal. He can give up 1 run each inning and we’ll be just fine
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
Are these correct? All swinging?
NCChopper - April 16, 2010
Im pretty sure.
UGARedcoat13 - April 16, 2010
Heyward wanted to ground out...
Only possible explanation.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 16, 2010
He granted mercy upon the Rockies.

Jose Vidro Stats
1997 Expos to 2008 Mariners.
145 GIDP in his career. Peaked at 21 in 2007. Typical avg year: 16.
All time leaders: (but of course these guys played a long time)
Cal Ripkin (350).
Hank Aaron (328)
Carl Yaz (323)
Dave Winfield (319)
Eddie Murray (316).
Must have been fun watching Orioles games when Murray and Rip were both in the lineup.
Honorable mentions: Jim RIce, our friend Julip Franco, Pudge Rodriguez, Harold Baines, Rusty Staub.
carpengui - April 16, 2010
Wow
Those are some great names on that list.
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
GIDPs, like RBIs, are very situational. Get a lot of ABs with runners on, and you’ll hit into a lot of double plays unless you’re a real speedster.
Bronn - April 16, 2010
Well yeah
I think the big thing is that it’s a longevity list. All those guys at the top played forever
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010

Direct TV Update
So, the Installer just got here, and informed me that he was not told to bring any hardware for me to get local channels, or the second DVR that I was told over the phone that I would get.
After calling up the Customer Support, he handed the phone off to me. They told me in order to get what I wanted (Local channels on 3 tvs and DVR on 2) that it would be an extra $250. I told them that I am going to thank the installers for coming out, and give Dish Network a call and tell them to turn my service back on.
FUCK DTV!
justincredubil02 - April 16, 2010
hahaha
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
And this is all after telling me that I would be able to get those exact things at no charge.
justincredubil02 - April 16, 2010
well, that certainly didn’t work out!
Jareth Cutestory - April 16, 2010
Nope. You would think that from a customer service perspective AND a business perspective that they would waive the $250 charge and get nearly $2,400 over the length of the contract, instead of getting nothing.
justincredubil02 - April 16, 2010
yup.
pretty stupid.
Jareth Cutestory - April 16, 2010
I’d bet if you talked to the right person and were persistent enough, you could get that taken care of.
Cammando2317 - April 16, 2010
Too late now. I am a Dish customer again.
justincredubil02 - April 16, 2010
Sounds fishy… thought they had a better deal than that going on. I do know the extra DVR was at least $100, though.
carpengui - April 16, 2010
For the HDDVR, yes, but I just asked for a standard, and was told it was free.
justincredubil02 - April 16, 2010
i have Comcast at the house
and they’re legit. If i have a problem they just take my word for it and fix it free of charge…unless I broke something myself (like a remote that i dropped off a balcony lol.)
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
How was supper?
NCChopper - April 16, 2010

i had fried rice and egg drop soup
Jareth Cutestory - April 16, 2010

I made tacos tonight.
NCChopper - April 16, 2010
i love homemade tacos
do you use the old el paso taco seasoning mix?
Jareth Cutestory - April 16, 2010
Yep and instead of water I mix it with Picante sauce and extra cayenne and simmer the meat for at least an hour.
NCChopper - April 16, 2010
wow
nice effort
Jareth Cutestory - April 16, 2010
Subway is amazing. And if fills you up for the rest of the night without being too expensive/

Jeez, are you on their payroll or sumtin?
….I could go for a footlong Feast tho.
!Vive la Francoeur! - April 16, 2010
well 5 bucks for a big ass sandwhich with all their veggies and stuff is worth it to me. and then just hit up a gas station for Chips and a drank.

Great, I had the new Domino's pizza. It's not half bad.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - April 16, 2010
i never had a problem with it
but i approve of the “new” recipe
Jareth Cutestory - April 16, 2010
They put parmesan and butter on the crust, like Mellow Mushroom. It's quite good.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - April 16, 2010
Best dish @ MM
Bruschetta.
Simple delicious.
!Vive la Francoeur! - April 16, 2010
are you sure about the parmesan
as in, have you asked someone?
because i worked @ domino’s through college, and what i think they put on the crust is the exact stuff they put on cheesy bread with some butter-type substance
Jareth Cutestory - April 16, 2010
It's the new recipe.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - April 16, 2010
i know...
and what i’m saying about the “new” recipe is that it seems as if they use the same seasoning on the crust as they do on the cheesy bread with a buttery-type glaze.
but i do think parmesan is part of the new cheese mix on the pies
new sauce for sure, too
Jareth Cutestory - April 16, 2010
There are actually visible pieces of parmesan on the crust now.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - April 16, 2010
ahh i haven't looked that closely
Jareth Cutestory - April 16, 2010
That's weird, I think the installers are independent contractors though
so sometimes the details can be lost in the fray. And the person you talk to when setting it up is a salesman, and after they sell you they turn you over to the technicians or whatever. All in all, it’s still a cable/satellite company so there’s gonna be problems, but the packages are unbeatable.
kreese555 - April 16, 2010
i don’t think all installers are independent contractors
Jareth Cutestory - April 16, 2010
Melky strikes out
but still gets on base. Hilarious

I'm as smart as a tenth grader.

TennesseeQuackAttack8 - April 16, 2010
ah
but that does not answer the question
pfoley - April 16, 2010
I actually am Smarter than a 5th Grader
I’d have won a million dollars on that show at least two or three times.

I don’t think i ever learned some of those 5th grade questions though….they are crazy
bpk228480 - April 16, 2010
I know most of the answers, but I definitely didn’t know them as a 5th grader, that’s for sure.
Bronn - April 16, 2010
well
that’s probably why you’ve never been on the show
atl192485 - April 16, 2010
honestly
that’s the easiest show to win
Jareth Cutestory - April 16, 2010
I may not be smarter than a 5th grader, but I bet I could kick the shit outta a whole class of ’em.
!Vive la Francoeur! - April 16, 2010
....and that's why YOU'VE never been invited on the show.

Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
His WPA is still positive though
so he’s not there yet… And I hope he doesn’t get there either.
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
that’s solely because we spotted him 8
atl192485 - April 16, 2010
Derek Lowe is a piece of shit.
JadedMayberry - April 16, 2010
Lowe = drama.
Always brain numbing drama.
NCChopper - April 16, 2010
i feel like we’re in the middle of a high school girl gossip session whenever DLowe pitches.
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
Anyone remember me calling the DLW on the first thread???
UGARedcoat13 - April 16, 2010
i don't think
that’s a skill. a caveman could do it
atl192485 - April 16, 2010
But I saw past the smoke an mirrors that were the first 4 innings!
UGARedcoat13 - April 16, 2010
fair enough, haha

All I ask for is a drama-free DLowe start…and this shit happens.

At least they did the rally killer… one out.

carpengui - April 16, 2010
Two outs.
carpengui - April 16, 2010
I keep remembering that awful game against the Mets last year when he blew like a 6 or 7 run lead.
JadedMayberry - April 16, 2010
It was the Phillies
and be quiet.
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
Vasquez started the game we blew against the Phils….do some research.
JadedMayberry - April 16, 2010
We never blew a 6 or 7 run lead to the Mets last year
The only game we blew of that degree was game 3 vs. the Phils. And you also didn’t specify anything Lowe related.
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
you be quiet
right now. that hurt just thinking about it.
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
This had better be D-Lowe’s last inning!

i think bobby runs him out for one more
Jareth Cutestory - April 16, 2010
Lowe has to go to at least the 7th inning. Save the bullpen.
romone_braves91 - April 16, 2010
this
or medlen and chavez
atl192485 - April 16, 2010
Do we really have him under contract for 2 more seasons? I don’t think I can take it!
JadedMayberry - April 16, 2010
If he goes 22-0. I think somebody would want him.
romone_braves91 - April 16, 2010
i'm sure we'll find a way to trade him to the yanks
Braves Biceps - April 16, 2010
At least he’ll pitch brilliantly the last season we have him – contract year. He’s going to be trying for one last big pay day before he’s too old to pitch anymore.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 16, 2010
8-4?

every position player in the lineup has exactly 1 run
atl192485 - April 16, 2010
That is sweet.
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
A result of batting around
The only guys who didn’t reach base that inning were Lowe and McLouth, and everyone but those two scored.

Chase Utley hit ANOTHER home run. Holy crap

romone_braves91 - April 16, 2010
It’s bad when you’re up by 4 and you feel the need to call for Rally Caps.
NCChopper - April 16, 2010
Prado tied for the most hits (Braves) through 10 games at 19...
Tied with Deion Sanders. That wow’d me.
UGARedcoat13 - April 16, 2010
prime time, my man
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
ahhh ball 4 prayyyydo
bpk228480 - April 16, 2010
he hit the ball real hard
Jareth Cutestory - April 16, 2010
even that was hit on a line

TheBravestWay To Block A Decent Prospect - April 16, 2010
YOU CALLED IT!
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
You called it!
schlagdawg - April 16, 2010
Yes.
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
good call...

Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
Good call!
JadedMayberry - April 16, 2010
We had better score some more runs tonight…..the Rox are capable of putting up a lot more on the board.
JadedMayberry - April 16, 2010
"phraseology" - Smoltz
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 16, 2010
He did that on purpose
And made fun of his “thirdiary” comment in the process.
Bronn - April 16, 2010
I know. It’s still amusing, because of the “thirdiary” and “irregardless”
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 16, 2010
phraseology
is actually a word. So that’s a fail.
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
Perhaps I accidentally spelled it correctly, then.
Because the word he pronounced is not the correct pronunciation of a valid word.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 16, 2010
“Thats cause I’m an expert in…nameology!”
Name that movie. (One of the most overrated movies ever in my opinion. The sequel was even worse.)
!Vive la Francoeur! - April 16, 2010
Boondock Saints.
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
You win a generic compliment.
Good job, big guy.
!Vive la Francoeur! - April 16, 2010
I thought the first one was awesome. Sequel was on of the worst movies I’ve ever seen.
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
Overrated?
BLASPHEMEY!
justincredubil02 - April 16, 2010
yep.
!Vive la Francoeur! - April 16, 2010
Chipper doing his best Andruw impersonation

Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
That's exactly what I was thinking.
UGARedcoat13 - April 16, 2010
Chipper taking inventory again before getting up.
carpengui - April 16, 2010
Quick sit for Chipper.
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
Smoltz: 3.5 on the landing
Hilarious.
NCChopper - April 16, 2010
3.5 on the landing.
lol

Chipper es el mejor!!
Kobe:The Legend - April 16, 2010
Surprised with the RH power from him so far in the year
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
JACK by Chipper!
NCChopper - April 16, 2010
That commercial remains immortal
Bronn - April 16, 2010
Easily the best baseball commercial
of all time.
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
Agreed.
NCChopper - April 16, 2010
Chipper
hits a HR despite getting his front foot caught in the dirt. Wow
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
yeah, not a pretty swing
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
Haha...
Chip gets the silent treatment from the bench,
UGARedcoat13 - April 16, 2010
That is one of the best moves you can do.
So funny.
kreese555 - April 16, 2010
Remember when they did that to Frenchy so he started high fiving himself? Classic moment.
!Vive la Francoeur! - April 16, 2010
Loved that.
NCChopper - April 16, 2010
Always cracks me up
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
DLowe in the dugout
“Keep it up guys…im gonna need like 18 more of those.”
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
DBlowe?
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - April 16, 2010
lol
Let’s oblige him
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
Prado - "Over the course of the season?"
Lowe – “Hahaha…. Funny Martin, funny.”
UGARedcoat13 - April 16, 2010
ROFL
D. Lowe on the mound in Coors South….are two dozen runs even enough?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 16, 2010
His swing just looks so much better from the right side right now
bpk228480 - April 16, 2010
Chipper Jones HR
Over or under 22.5 on the season
justincredubil02 - April 16, 2010
under for health reasons
bpk228480 - April 16, 2010
all depends
on how many games he plays. If he stays mostly healthy, I’ll take the over. But that’s a big “if”
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
120 games.
justincredubil02 - April 16, 2010
Then under.
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
Tenth game, second homer… on pace for 32. Hmmmm… I say barely over.
carpengui - April 16, 2010
Hahaha silent treatment never gets old.
romone_braves91 - April 16, 2010
I’ll say under
JadedMayberry - April 16, 2010
I really like Hinske's approach. So balanced
kreese555 - April 16, 2010
and right as i say that. Still.
kreese555 - April 16, 2010
Hahaha
As much as I dont like him, FYF did the best job on the silent treatments, patting himself on his bat and air-chest bumping himself.
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
He did that on every HR though…
justincredubil02 - April 16, 2010
haha true
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
5 innings, 2+ hours.
Are we sure this isn’t Yankees vs Red Sox?
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
great
Joe West is probably gonna bitch at us again
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
Get ready
For a pissed off ump.
UGARedcoat13 - April 16, 2010
Joe West is not happy that people score runs.
Did you see that he issued 14 walks in his last game??? And that fat bastard has the balls to complain about games taking too long, when he has one of the highest walk rates among umpires.
justincredubil02 - April 16, 2010
Wow
I mean, I totally agree that those games should be shorter… But that is some hilarious hypocrisy
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
The silent treatment on Chipper is hilarious. He just laughs on his way to the dugout and gives everyone the “rock on” sign.
lol
justincredubil02 - April 16, 2010
I liked how Heyward
kept his back to him. Probably couldn’t hide his smile
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
All the great stats aside, I think I’ll miss that shit-eating grin of Chipper’s most of all when he finally reties. Everytime I see it I just chuckle to myself.
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
and the Chipper glare gif
!Vive la Francoeur! - April 16, 2010
when Chipper lost his mind after BMac's triple
is the ultimate Chipper smile.
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
I always go back to that saved link when I need a smile.
NCChopper - April 16, 2010
Yes.
That and when he greeted Heyward after his first HR

I called one of my teachers a cougar today
she kicked me out of class. i couldn’t believe her.
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
Ungrateful wench.
justincredubil02 - April 16, 2010
Are you calling yourself a cougar?
justincredubil02 - April 16, 2010
Moi? I doubt I’d fit the definition.
NCChopper - April 16, 2010
Just sift through the juvenelia, there is some good statistical info in that statement.
!Vive la Francoeur! - April 16, 2010
Damnit. My writing is worthless now.
justincredubil02 - April 16, 2010
it always was
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
And yet, you somehow agree with most of it…
justincredubil02 - April 16, 2010
I approve of your pro-KJ propaganda

TOP SIXTH INNING
9-4 for the chop-shoppers.

Anyone know the attendance?
JadedMayberry - April 16, 2010
A bit early yet for that.
carpengui - April 16, 2010
not officially
but i’d guess 28,000 or so just looking at the crowd
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
LOLDiaz
can’t even keep a straight face
bpk228480 - April 16, 2010
Mac was struggling too, had to put his hand over his face
kreese555 - April 16, 2010
Why the hell does he walk people with a 5 run lead? I mean seriously…
JadedMayberry - April 16, 2010
not like he’s doing it on purpose
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
Yeah
that was last start
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
Random thought from the end of last inning
For MLB The Show, it would be so awesome if they put in some radio Bobby audio clips in Braves’ games.
“C’mon Hins!” “’C’mon Chip!” “Let’s go Jeffrey!”
It’s just great.
Bronn - April 16, 2010
haha
That would be amazing.
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
Great joke Smotlz...
schlagdawg - April 16, 2010
lol
romone_braves91 - April 16, 2010
I’ll spell his name right the next time he tells a good joke
schlagdawg - April 16, 2010
Lol, the crowd noise seemed to respond to that lame Smoltz joke.
Bronn - April 16, 2010
Smoltzie jokes are the best
a hooter's baby - April 16, 2010
Smoltz
with a long, winding terrible joke
bpk228480 - April 16, 2010
Oh crap.
I wonder if the John Smoltz jokes are gonna become a regular part of the show.
!Vive la Francoeur! - April 16, 2010
"Bear Left" was better
And that’s saying something.
Bronn - April 16, 2010
Why is the stadium in San Fran so big? Cause the stands are full of giant fans.

bpk228480 - April 16, 2010
The double negatives arent not confusing me.
!Vive la Francoeur! - April 16, 2010
just smile and nod
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
I think he's only got 3...
So he’s probably just about tapped out now.
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
Him telling jokes will be the joke

Haha, its okay
after all he is John Smoltz
Dawg013 - April 16, 2010
Friend listening to some radio broadcast in Colorado
Said the announcers broadcasted that the Braves were upset with Chipper so they wouldnt cheer for him and that we had team issues…. Hahahaa….
UGARedcoat13 - April 16, 2010
That’s pretty funny.
schlagdawg - April 16, 2010
Srs?! thats awesome!
!Vive la Francoeur! - April 16, 2010

Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
Who'd they put in?
I missed it before the commercial
UGARedcoat13 - April 16, 2010
didn’t show
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
EOF.
justincredubil02 - April 16, 2010
96 pitches, 55 strikes. 3 ER, 5 K, 2 BB, 7 hits (1 HR). ERA now 4.67
carpengui - April 16, 2010
and will probably have 3 wins after this game
atl192485 - April 16, 2010
D-Lowe’s out.
Jose Rodriguez - April 16, 2010
PRAISE HEYWARD!!!
No more Lowe…until Friday.
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
That means no more runs…
justincredubil02 - April 16, 2010
oh yeah
Derek Lowe: It never fails.
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
Wouldnt it be Thursday? Or am I missing somehting?
Cammando2317 - April 16, 2010
no game monday.
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
Exactly...
Cammando2317 - April 16, 2010
oh, i’m dumbass. I thought it was Satuday. Yeah…so it would be Thursday
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
You’re not a dumbass, son. Keep your head up.
Cammando2317 - April 16, 2010
thanks daddy
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
Dont listen to your mother. Grow up! Quit that rying or I’ll give you something to cry about! Go get a job!
!Vive la Francoeur! - April 16, 2010
Yes sir.
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
EOF finishes the 6th, after that who knows?
JadedMayberry - April 16, 2010
i'd like to see him take the 7th too
save the pen
pfoley - April 16, 2010
him or let Chavez have a crack at it.
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
Chavez + Dunn
for the last 3 innings.
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
that would be fantastic.
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
This is why D Lowe is a winner
the team knows they will have to score plenty of runs when he’s on the mound so the offense is never complacent.
That or he keeps facing shitty opposing pitchers
TheBravestWay To Block A Decent Prospect - April 16, 2010
Or more accurately
decent pitchers having shitty days
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
Well, he did face off against Zambrano opening day….
BraveSaluki - April 16, 2010
Are you saying
That Z is shitty, or that he’s decent? I honestly can’t tell
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
Big Z is a vortex of suck in my opinion.
BraveSaluki - April 16, 2010
Ah
Well, he’s not really that bad. He just implodes easily.
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
I think Lowe is battling against teams #5 starter. That is fine by me. KK can handle the Aces.
romone_braves91 - April 16, 2010
Hammel
is the Rox #4. Greg Smith is their #5. And Zambrano of course is the Cubs “#1” (really #3)
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
That is a repeatable skil
right?
TheBravestWay To Block A Decent Prospect - April 16, 2010
Apparently it is.
He’s repeating it.
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
And here comes O'Flaherty
UGARedcoat13 - April 16, 2010
Would you guys be so kind as to spot us three runs?
It would make Friday night more entertaining and rewarding for us all.
Andrew T. Fisher - April 16, 2010
I approve. Billy Wagner is on my fantasy team.
Ron A. - April 16, 2010
Same here.
Jose Rodriguez - April 16, 2010
the Rox missed their chance with DLowe in the game. You gotta capitalize on that $60MM clown.
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
This is true
Andrew T. Fisher - April 16, 2010
"Tripped, stumbled, deer meat went everywhere. Then he went on the DL."
UGARedcoat13 - April 16, 2010
haha, that story his great
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
Possibly my new signature lol
UGARedcoat13 - April 16, 2010
I still suspect it actually happened on the ATV venture prior to the walking up the stairs
Andrew T. Fisher - April 16, 2010
Our scouting dept. is ridiculous….EOF was on the scrap heap and no one wanted him and he’s been great for us!
JadedMayberry - April 16, 2010
He was pretty awesome in 2007
Almost the same as last year in fact. Don’t know how we got him so easily.
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
1st and third – two outs.
carpengui - April 16, 2010
Come on EOF!
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
sick pitch
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
Yes!!
carpengui - April 16, 2010
Oooooh that was filthy.
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
Melvin Mora AND Jason Giambi…your 2003 American League Allstars
bpk228480 - April 16, 2010
in fairness
those are their bench guys. Their starters are all young and good (or in the case of Helton) old and good. And all homegrown except Carlos Gonzalez
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
lol I know…its just weird seeing them on the bench….of the Rockies
bpk228480 - April 16, 2010
True
especially Giambi. He’s the only NL player who needs to be in the AL more than Adam Dunn
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
This is a true statement
Andrew T. Fisher - April 16, 2010
was Glaus an Allstar back then?
!Vive la Francoeur! - April 16, 2010
I would think so…he was WS MVP in 2002
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
EOF with the K
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 16, 2010
K!
Jose Rodriguez - April 16, 2010
To end the inning..

Very Nice.

People are commenting there.

No way!
UGARedcoat13 - April 16, 2010
Another righty to face Heyward
Oh yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
when will they learn????
hopefully, never
atl192485 - April 16, 2010
Heyward’s going yard at some point tonight!
JadedMayberry - April 16, 2010
no CG for halladay
his era’s finally above 1.00
atl192485 - April 16, 2010
Bound to happen
once he faced a real team.
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
I hope the Braves put his ERA over 3.00 when they face him.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 16, 2010
he’s pitched against the Astros, Natinals and Marlins….oooooh.
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
C’mon BoSox. I have a Streak for the Cash W18 riding on you
BraveSaluki - April 16, 2010
I think most of us on the board could beat the Astros or Nats.
JadedMayberry - April 16, 2010
Escobar draws a walk, getting on base for Heyward!
Here comes the HR…
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 16, 2010
Another solid AB for Yunel
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
Lmao...
did you guys with the Rockies broadcast just hear some guy scream “OH MY GOD!!!”
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
He saw who was on deck?
!Vive la Francoeur! - April 16, 2010
lol
Did they just see Heyward for the first time?
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
I've got both going and couldnt tell where it came from
UGARedcoat13 - April 16, 2010
Belisle: Dude, I’m about to shit my pants!
Ianetta: It’s Ok.
JadedMayberry - April 16, 2010
Rockies announcers saying FYF hit a HR in his first PA.
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
Jesus, really?
why couldn’t he have learned to hit while he was still here? He was so stubborn. This can’t last, can it?
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
oh wait
you didn’t mean tonight, you meant of his career. nm
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
I was talking about as a Braves, which is wrong obviously.
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
Well, it was his first game
But, whatever.
Bronn - April 16, 2010
Let's go Heyward
Loving it.
Bronn - April 16, 2010

Nice pitch….High cheese.

Anyone excited for the Braves playing at Target Field?
Jose Rodriguez - April 16, 2010
I was always more of a Walmart guy myself, but sure.
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
+1 for you good sir.
Jose Rodriguez - April 16, 2010
That was like the first inside pitch Heyward has seen in a week.
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
GIDP, Melky... :(
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 16, 2010
That’s about right…
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
Really ripped that one Melk….
JadedMayberry - April 16, 2010
Heyward
setting up the rest of the league to think he is susceptible to high inside fastballs. Very machiavaellian.
!Vive la Francoeur! - April 16, 2010
Reverse psychology.
UGARedcoat13 - April 16, 2010
Ok y'all - new avatar for me - nobody's noticed.
Here are the shoes larger. What do ya think?
And, before you ask… size 7-1/2
NCChopper - April 16, 2010
lol, awesome
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
Where did you get them?
HEYJUDE - April 16, 2010
They are KEDS. I wear them to baseball games and they seem to get noticed.
They’re not very comfortable – recommend arch inserts if you get them.
NCChopper - April 16, 2010
Thanks!
I like them……
HEYJUDE - April 16, 2010
And, they are leather – and the stitching is just like on a baseball.
NCChopper - April 16, 2010
i’d wear em’
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
You got balls on yo' feets!
But very nice ones, at that
UGARedcoat13 - April 16, 2010

!Vive la Francoeur! - April 16, 2010
Marlins ralling in the 9th
Scored 2 already, second and third now with one out.
Bronn - April 16, 2010
Man
that Philies ’pen is terrible. Definitely their Achilles heel
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
Yeah...
Halladay isn’t pitching those CGs because he’s good. He’s doing it because he HAS TO.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 16, 2010
Outside of Madson
I wouldn’t want a single person from their pen in ours. Over ANYONE.
Bronn - April 16, 2010
Yeah
now that Jo-jo is gone, anyway.
Those guys are all making big bucks too.
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
The Phillies bullpen is not very good.
And their bench sucks.
Bronn - April 16, 2010
Maybin is up...
automatic strikeout.
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
oooh
infield single.
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
Baker up
Hanley on deck. Herndon is surely coming out at this point.
Bronn - April 16, 2010
who the hell is David Herndon?
Jose Rodriguez - April 16, 2010
Another example of the Phillies crappy bullpen
Of course, they did have a 6 run lead in the 9th, so he’s probably just a mop-up guy.
Bronn - April 16, 2010
I am still pissed at Direct TV.
justincredubil02 - April 16, 2010
go egg their local office tonight.
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
I think I am going to call them and bitch at them and see what kind of freebies they give me.
justincredubil02 - April 16, 2010
I bet anyone in here
that Dexter Fowler is a Brave at least once in his career.
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
Long term bet with no chance of being cashed in?
I’ll take it!
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
lol
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
haha fair enough
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
Based on....
Andrew T. Fisher - April 16, 2010
The ump just killed that grasshopper!
UGARedcoat13 - April 16, 2010
Same pitch was a strike last inning
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
Umpire fail #7418 on the season
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
And another one on ball 2
Terrible. Has there been even one good ump so far?
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
i was about to say
Umpire fail #7419 on the season
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
we need robot umpires
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
I'd like it if they also had bad attitudes.
“Suck my transmission!”
Bronn - April 16, 2010
haha
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
Suck my battery?
Andrew T. Fisher - April 16, 2010
A robot ump throwng out Bobby. Interesting mental image

Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
He’s actually one 5’10…..Asians are notoriously small.

EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 16, 2010
Pad save. Beauty.
carpengui - April 16, 2010
THOSE ARE STRIKES.
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
Madson in to shut the door for Philly, now.
Bronn - April 16, 2010
First and third, one out.
Bronn - April 16, 2010
Let’s go Marlins, let’s go! 3-run HR to tie?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 16, 2010
in play, run(s)
Bronn - April 16, 2010
:DDDDD
Jose Rodriguez - April 16, 2010
8-6 phils… 2 down.
carpengui - April 16, 2010
Ground out
Hanley up, down 2, runner on first, two outs. Hanley can tie it with a HR.
Bronn - April 16, 2010
Hanley single.
Cantu up with runners first and second.
Bronn - April 16, 2010
0 and 2
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
or
DP to end it?
who knows!
pfoley - April 16, 2010
another single…runners on 1st and 2nd for Cantu
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
Does Cantu have an RBI yet?
to extend his streak? if not, now’d be a great time
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
In play, out(s)
Cantu was completely overmatched, there.
Bronn - April 16, 2010
wah wah wah
Oh well. Fun while it lasted
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
Phillies will have some problems over the next couple weeks, though.
Bronn - April 16, 2010
And he broke the streak
Took a fastball, took a change up, both for strikes, and grounds out to short.
Bronn - April 16, 2010
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 16, 2010
Ha!
It is Tennessee Ernie WIlliams!
For those of you who dont know, he was Johnny Cash’s contemporary competition.
!Vive la Francoeur! - April 16, 2010
I get it
Tennessee Ernie Ford, Todd Helton went to Tennessee
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010

Phillies win
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
Awwww
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 16, 2010
but who cares, right? I still think we have a better team with their shitty bullpen, rotation and bench.
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
+1
I’m glad we get them with no Rollins (Castro can’t hit… at all) or Blanton
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
and theres a good chance we get Moyer or Kendrick at least once.

Hey
the Wookiee sound on a foul ball! First time I’ve heard it this year!
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
Damn Rockies...
9 – 5 now
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 16, 2010
Oh come on guys!
Let’s not make this difficult
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
Come on Eric – I got “things” to do and the text is getting blurry.
NCChopper - April 16, 2010
My thoughts exactly
6 beers down, so is that hitter. Thanks EOF!
kreese555 - April 16, 2010
9-5. what a way to make a livin’
carpengui - April 16, 2010
Ahem…Bobby…get off your ass
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
Ah, come on EOF
end the ining.
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
To his credit
He retired the two lefties he’s seen, and allowed hits to the righties.
Further proving the LOOGY point.
Bronn - April 16, 2010
Nice effort there Chip…LOL
JadedMayberry - April 16, 2010
We’re awfully good at the corners.
Ron A. - April 16, 2010
Apparently
O’Flaherty is going to pitch the last 3.2 innings.
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
Not the best attempt by the old man at 3B
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
I know, right?
He dived at all that stuff in the San Diego series – looked like he was going to kill himself. Yet, he doesn’t even try on that one?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 16, 2010
Dove?
justincredubil02 - April 16, 2010
still winded from his sb
!Vive la Francoeur! - April 16, 2010

Andrew T. Fisher - April 16, 2010
2 strikes….1 more
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 16, 2010
Bring in Dunn.
justincredubil02 - April 16, 2010
Oliver Perez showed up tonight vs. Carpenter… Now out of game with 1-0 lead.
carpengui - April 16, 2010
sounds like a potential JVL
for Carp
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
Holliday hitting for him now – 2 on for StL.
carpengui - April 16, 2010
Wow
Carp’s run was unearned. He has a +.224 WPA. That might be a record for a loss if he goes the distance
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010

!Vive la Francoeur! - April 16, 2010
That site is unbelievable, can’t get enough
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
They keep adding stuff too
First splits, now more Def. stats. Great stuff
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
+/- right?
I was looking for it but couldn’t find it
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
It's under "advanced fielding"
the one that’s comparable to UZR is “DRS”
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
DRS? elaborate, please
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
Already did, above!
It’s just a combo of all the individual ways of saving runs defensively (double plays, throws, range, etc.)
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
No, I found DRS…I was just looking for +/- cause I remember Yunel was something crazy like +30 a year or two ago
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
DRS
is part of +/-
Sorry, I misunderstood the ?
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
Hmm…interesting. Need to brush up on my metrics apparently.
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
It is confusing
their glossary is not up to date
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
Thanks though.
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
Yunel:
+12 and +13 the last 2 years
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
Interesting to see the difference in this UZR when compared to DRS
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
Yeah
like 80% of guys are fairly close, but some (like Yunel) are way off. I’d like to know why, but I don’t know the details of the methodologies
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
which stands for "defensive runs saved"
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
No
Has to be Pedro during his Expo years. He pitched a perfect game and it went into extra innings.
romone_braves91 - April 16, 2010
Did he lose it though?
If not, not JVL
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
Looked it up. No he didn’t lose. Fail on my part.
romone_braves91 - April 16, 2010
damn, 7 IP 10 K for Carp
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
yep. He’s on my fantasy. I wish he get some run support.
romone_braves91 - April 16, 2010
fantasy team.
romone_braves91 - April 16, 2010
same
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
FINISH HIM!
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
GOT THE K!
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 16, 2010
THERE WE GO
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
EOF. Solid.
UGARedcoat13 - April 16, 2010
There you go
EOF allows a hit and a walk, both to Righties, and retires the two lefties he sees
Bronn - April 16, 2010
Ahem
Three lefties.
Bronn - April 16, 2010
In fact
He faced, what 8 hitters? He got 4 lefties out and got 1 righty out, and the other 3 righties all reached base.
Bronn - April 16, 2010
Thanks Eric!
NCChopper - April 16, 2010
you racist.
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
Pffft. Tell the leprechauns to sue me.
And after 4+ shots, I should get bonus points for spelling that correctly.
NCChopper - April 16, 2010
lol
I think you can’t misspell that word if you’re drunk. It’s too Irish
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
I’m Irish and Native American – so I can DO it.
NCChopper - April 16, 2010
Samsies! Irish and Cherokee for me!
justincredubil02 - April 16, 2010
Brooksy PH for EOF.
NCChopper - April 16, 2010
I’d prefer Infante…he hasnt gotten a PH opportunity in forever
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
He's also
much much better.
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
or not…

St. Louis: bases loaded, 1 out. down 1-0 to Mutts. Lopez up.

i hate both teams
so i could care less who wins.
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010

He could care a negative amount.

I like to be surprised that way.

Fernando Nieves loads the bases, Raul Valdes allows the slam.
Bronn - April 16, 2010
There goes the JVL for Carp
And unless 2 of those runners are Perez’s, none for him either
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
Nate walks!
Two on…
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 16, 2010
Mets’ shutout just turned into a 3-run deficit
BraveSaluki - April 16, 2010
the funny thing
their #1 pitching prospect, Meija, who everyone wants to be a starter, was put in the bullpen by Omar…and he’s gotten rocked.
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
I read AA quite frequently (cause it makes me feel better), and they said that everyone in the front office wanted Meija to be a starter in the minors but Manuel was ADAMANT that he be in the bullpen.
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
LOLOLOL
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
I’m thinking 3 run jack.
carpengui - April 16, 2010

ATLforlife - April 16, 2010
not quite
he only gave up 4 of those
pfoley - April 16, 2010
Lowe
had a positive WPA, so no DLW today. He gave up the runs too late to qualify.
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
Come on Cheeeeper
I’ll give you a high five if you get a hit here.
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
Man, Chipper is awesome
That was one nasty curveball, and he didn’t even offer at it.

That ball was 4 inches inside.
JadedMayberry - April 16, 2010

NCChopper - April 16, 2010
Well in fairness
If he has a date, he’s already late. This game is taking forever

ideas?

if you're with a bunch of people
“show” them your hiccups. Just go stand in front of a bunch of people and they’ll be instantly gone.
If not…take 3 more shots and forget about them.
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
No one but me, the hubby and the dog….(yeah. my life is exciting)
Shot 1 of 3…. I report back.
NCChopper - April 16, 2010
Totally relax…(i.e., turn off this game), exhale and stay that way for several seconds.
Repeat 4-5 times and that oughta do it.
carpengui - April 16, 2010
hold your breath, drink water while holding your breath and then keep breathing until you can't keep

EOF with 40 pitches in his 1-2/3rds.
9-5 and hanging on. MEDS in the game.
carpengui - April 16, 2010
Medlen?
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
Strikes Meds...
IF we can pull this out with EOF, Meds and a guy like Chavez or Dunn, I’d be thrilled.

no Moylan/Saito/Wagner please.

it's only like 2 or 3 up
but you got the gist
pfoley - April 16, 2010
Gotcha. :)
BigG1392 - April 16, 2010
pitched out of trouble in the 1st, pitched like an ace in the 2nd and 3rd, then started running into trouble…so yes
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
oh /game/
yeah basically

Medlen is so nasty
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
why
don’t the broadcasters use computers to keep score? is it just tradition or something?
atl192485 - April 16, 2010
Have you seen Smoltz around a computer?
… it’s not pretty
schlagdawg - April 16, 2010
not much better
with paper
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
But at least he can use a pencil
Imagine him trying to find the program and opening it

Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
NCChopper - April 16, 2010
So how long until it is acceptable to begin rosterbating.
Cause I have a bit of a buildup I feel I need to get out there.
!Vive la Francoeur! - April 16, 2010
i find rosterbating right before bed to be extremely cathartic
atl192485 - April 16, 2010
BOTTOM EIGHTH. 9-5.
Last time for the home sticks.
carpengui - April 16, 2010
What inning is it?
NCChopper - April 16, 2010
8th…i think
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
Alright guys...take your pick
you get a P, IF and OF.
Would you rather have Hanson, Esco and Heyward
OR
Ubaldo Jimenez, Tulo and Carlos Gonzalez
?
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
Jimenez, Tulo and CarGo
Andrew T. Fisher - April 16, 2010
What? Are you crazy?
Hanso/Esco/Heyward!!
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 16, 2010
*Hanson
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 16, 2010
Carlos Gonzalez is going to be a stud tho. Not on Heyward’s level, but a level or two below.
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
yeah, i agree
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
Hanson, Esco, Heyward
NCChopper - April 16, 2010
anything with heyward
bpk228480 - April 16, 2010
maybe I'm biased
but I like our guys more on all counts. Esp. Heyward over Gonzalez (he’s good, but he’s no Heyward)
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
Tulo over Esco?
I love me some Crazy Cuban, but Tulo is a monster.
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
Esco is just as good
when you take away park effects
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
This is false
Last year, Tulo had a 135 wRC+. Escobar was 120
Andrew T. Fisher - April 16, 2010
Look at their splits
Esco > Tulo on the road. There’s really no doubt about it. See link below
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
This makes no sense at all to me
Home games count too. There a reverse Coors effect (It is difficult to hit a hard breaking curve when you’ve seen less sharp breaking pitches for a week). And the overall PARK ADJUSTED numbers stil have Tulo way ahead of Escobar.
To each their own, but I’ll take Tulo every time, and I suspect most people outside of Georgia would too
Andrew T. Fisher - April 16, 2010
There's no way to know
How they’d hit in the same park. So you can disagree. But I prefer to look at the stats themselves rather than trust the adjustments. I don’t trust the adjustments at all.
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
That's fine
But when the adjustments say Tulo is above average by 35% and Escobar by 20%, I don’t think the discrepency can be made up in statistical noise
Andrew T. Fisher - April 16, 2010
Oh it definitely can
especially when the raw numbers say that Esco is about .020 points of wOBA better on the road. That tells me that the park adjustments must be fishy. Maybe Tulo is a bit better, but not 15% better. That’s just wrong.
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
I’d take Esco’s D any day over Tulo.
justincredubil02 - April 16, 2010
Also a good point
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
Tulo's defense is interesting
His 2007 was one of the best defensive seasons by a shortstop in major league history by any metric. He has a strong arm, but his range may have dwindled due to bulking up. I’m not sure I trust UZR last year, as other metrics say he was above average.
Andrew T. Fisher - April 16, 2010
I'm not sure what you're getting at.
Tulo’s road wOBA was better than BOTH Yunel’s home and road wOBA. If Tulo hits like he did on the road for every game, he’d still have a better wOBA than Yunel in 2009
Andrew T. Fisher - April 16, 2010
Yes, but Hanson > Jimenez and Heyward > Gonzalez. That makes the choice easy.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 16, 2010
that's what I'm thinking
but it’s close. It really depends on how much Hanson and Gonzalez develop.
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
Hanson>Jimenez?
Maybe in a couple years, but that’s a tough call.
Andrew T. Fisher - April 16, 2010
I think right now
And I like Ubaldo
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
Ubaldo's FIP and xFIP were both better than Hanson in 2009
And 2010.
Andrew T. Fisher - April 16, 2010
Well
it’s been 2 starts in 2010. I like Hanson better in 2010.
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
2009 shouldn't be ignored though
Andrew T. Fisher - April 16, 2010
Hanson didn’t pitch a full season? And it was his first…?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 16, 2010
I wasn't looking at counting stats
I know it’s his first, but it was a pretty incredible rookie season, ballyhooed all through the country. My point was more that even with that admittedly awesome breakout season, Ubaldo was better
Andrew T. Fisher - April 16, 2010
Not really
And the point is that you’re trying to compare a rookie to a non-rookie. Fail.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 16, 2010
If you want to discount Rockies hitters for Coors Field, you have to equally credit the pitchers
By park adjusted numbers, Ubaldo was better. FIP isn’t even park-adjusted, and Ubaldo was better there. Your point about rookie vs. non-rookie is well taken, so we can see how it works out. I could be wrong, but Hanson seems to be a very polished prospect, the type I don’t expect to have as much room from improvement from rookie to sophomore year.
Andrew T. Fisher - April 16, 2010
I wasn't one of the people arguing against Tulowitski.
I gave that one immediately.
Tulo > Esco
Hanson > Jimenez
Heyward >> Gonzalez
Braves win! Braves win! Braves win!
End discussion.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 16, 2010
Haha
I know you weren’t arguing against Tulo. Just saying Coors masks a lot of what Ubaldo does. We’ll have to get you tomorrow. Too bad Hanson isn’t starting!
Andrew T. Fisher - April 16, 2010
I'm not sure how you could possibly take Escobar over Tulo. That makes no sense at all.
I could see Hanson over Jimenez if you are optimistic with his ceiling.
And I would definitely take Heyward over CarGo
Andrew T. Fisher - April 16, 2010
Tulo on the road:
.766 OPS
Yes, I’ll take Esco.
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
it's that low?
Geeze.
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
Leaving Coors hurts…
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 16, 2010
It pays to do your research
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
I knew it wasn’t great, but thought it was at least .800
Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010
He's good, but Coors helps him a lot
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
http://www.fangraphs.com/statsplits.aspx?playerid=3531&position=SS&season=0
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
Yunel's career OPS is only 30 points more?
Andrew T. Fisher - April 16, 2010
"only"
Also, Yunel’s is more OBP heavy
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
Just saying
With a lost season due to injury included, his “terrible” road numbers are not far behind Yunel overall. And as for OBP, switch to wOBA. Tulo’s wOBA on the road was better than Yunel’s season wOBA last year. I know I’m nitpicking here by throwing out 2008, but it’s virtually unanimous that 2008 should be thrown out from injury when projecting Tulo
Andrew T. Fisher - April 16, 2010

Scott Coleman - April 16, 2010

shame on him for only increasing his batting average a little by going .400 on the day

We should trade him for Frenchy. Or Jose Guillen. They are both doing good this year.

a hooter's baby - April 16, 2010
We score 9 runs without McCann in the lineup….That’s impressive
JadedMayberry - April 16, 2010

Rhyno18 - April 16, 2010
Not in my book. He actually pitched pretty well
justincredubil02 - April 16, 2010
really just one shitty inning
Smoltz's Beard - April 16, 2010
not quite
he only gave up 4. i think the earned runs has to be 5 to qualify
pfoley - April 16, 2010
Yes.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 16, 2010
No, it doesn't
Only 4. But he didn’t qualify— his WPA was positive.
Jacob Peterson - April 16, 2010
ah
good to know.
4 seems like a bit of an arbitrary number though…
pfoley - April 16, 2010
Well if you think about it they're just as arbitrary as coffee
