Open Thread 4/20: Phillies at Braves Overflow

by royhobbs on

Since Scott's nowhere to be seen, here we go:

Yes, we know how much you hate Troy Glaus.  Mayhaps he's this year's 2007 Andruw Jones, placed precariously in a critical batting spot, but so far, failing to truly impress.  Sad to say though, deal with it!  Until the FO starts reading TC and thinks "hey, these guys have a point," they're going to roll with it.

New thread = Braves runs.

BullManUGA - April 20, 2010 reply

maybe if glaus gets injured

JasonHeywardisGod - April 20, 2010 reply

Another walkoff Heyward hit.

You heard it here first.

!Vive la Francoeur! - April 20, 2010 reply

Whew. Ok, good mojo….NOW.

soup du jour - April 20, 2010 reply

Time for 4 quick innings from Moylan.

Smoltz's Beard - April 20, 2010 reply

Come on Peter!

NCChopper - April 20, 2010 reply

Reply is acting weird for me.

TonyAlmeyda - April 20, 2010 reply

Can we start a rumor saying Jayson Werth eats cat meat?

I’d believe that

BraveSaluki - April 20, 2010 reply

does he really believe he’s Jesus?

fandave - April 20, 2010 reply

I know it’s early, but 2010 is reminding me of 2009, and it is getting irritating. I know we’ll start hitting before long, but it’s getting old quick hitting into DP’s and stranding runners

bighop - April 20, 2010 reply

These guys throwing their bat out there to foul pitch after pitch.

NCChopper - April 20, 2010 reply

And gets on base with a strikeout.

to go with:

3 doubles on didn’t mean to swings.

NCChopper - April 20, 2010 reply

Did you say that before or after the Werth K?

!Vive la Francoeur! - April 20, 2010 reply

Before actually.

NCChopper - April 20, 2010 reply

i think the reply is failing all over the place

Jareth Cutestory - April 20, 2010 reply

nevermind

Jareth Cutestory - April 20, 2010 reply

lol

It’s because I deleted the guy’s “first” comment that threw everything off.

royhobbs - April 20, 2010 reply

If I had accepted one of the author positions I would be deleting half of the open threads, ha.

Smoltz's Beard - April 20, 2010 reply

And probably replace them with pictures of redwoods and Duff Man

royhobbs - April 20, 2010 reply

Haha.

DuffMan is thrusting in the direction of the problem!

!Vive la Francoeur! - April 20, 2010 reply

omg………….

atl192485 - April 20, 2010 reply

:(

we can’t even get a strike out right

SouthernPanther - April 20, 2010 reply

Ok, that's fine, Moylan just wants to log the 4K inning.

soup du jour - April 20, 2010 reply

4K?

Moylan can easily get 6K in one inning….pffftttt….

EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 20, 2010 reply

Honestly

I’d rather go 8-10 against the Phillies as long as we still win the division

royhobbs - April 20, 2010 reply

You assume we won’t play down to the Nats…

bravos1984 - April 20, 2010 reply

Nats are playing some pretty inspired ball early this season.

soup du jour - April 20, 2010 reply

Maybe it's Kasten

But the Nats seem to just amp it up against us moreso than anyone else

royhobbs - April 20, 2010 reply

Off-speed pitch was TOO good

bravos1984 - April 20, 2010 reply

We needs

some hits and runs. Go Braves!

AlabamaTitans2009 - April 20, 2010 reply

reply not working for that guy who claimed to be 1st

Jareth Cutestory - April 20, 2010 reply

It was probably deleted.

Ron A. - April 20, 2010 reply

UGARedcoat13 - April 20, 2010 reply

SIT THE FUCK DOWN WERTH

BigG1392 - April 20, 2010 reply

McCann with a hose for the ho's!

Mighty Healthy - April 20, 2010 reply

oh man

Heap nailed him

SouthernPanther - April 20, 2010 reply

Way to go heap!

HEYJUDE - April 20, 2010 reply

someone’s been working on their throwing!

atl192485 - April 20, 2010 reply

Werth was high.. he didn't know what he was doing

Mighty Healthy - April 20, 2010 reply

1st McCann throw in a while that did not end up in center field

bighop - April 20, 2010 reply

it could be worse—we could be the Red Sox.

Ron A. - April 20, 2010 reply

LD%...someone else was looking for it in the other thread

Doghnut - April 20, 2010 reply

Thanks, not sure how I missed that. Braves are right in the middle…certainly doesn’t seem like that.

Smoltz's Beard - April 20, 2010 reply

Aaaand a walk...

Good thing we caught Werth stealing, because 2 on right now would suck.

EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 20, 2010 reply

come on moylan

every pitch is 6 inches outside…

SouthernPanther - April 20, 2010 reply

Huh, Werth is much better at SB% than I imagined…88% for his career.

Smoltz's Beard - April 20, 2010 reply

what's his sample size?

Jareth Cutestory - April 20, 2010 reply

Over 9000

UGARedcoat13 - April 20, 2010 reply

that gotta be some sort of record

Doghnut - April 20, 2010 reply

slinky its slinky, go slinky go!

soup du jour - April 20, 2010 reply

It's a stupid joke from Dragonball Z =P

UGARedcoat13 - April 20, 2010 reply

It’s pronounced “duh-bizz,” and you’re not saying it correctly unless your hands are doing a street fighter hadoken motion

royhobbs - April 20, 2010 reply

64/72

Smoltz's Beard - April 20, 2010 reply

That's...mighty fine.

I wonder why he doesn’t go more.

soup du jour - April 20, 2010 reply

excuse me, Flo...

what’s the soup du jour?

Jareth Cutestory - April 20, 2010 reply

Its the soup of the day.

soup du jour - April 20, 2010 reply

mmmm, sounds good

bighop - April 20, 2010 reply

mmm...

that sounds good. i’ll have that.

Jareth Cutestory - April 20, 2010 reply

haha

thought they were gonna collide.

SouthernPanther - April 20, 2010 reply

Jordan Schafer for 1B!!!

Mighty Healthy - April 20, 2010 reply

shoot

bring back Fred McGriff at age 90 and put him back in there…he can certainly run as fast as Glaus

SouthernPanther - April 20, 2010 reply

Arguably, he would be faster.

UGARedcoat13 - April 20, 2010 reply

Julio Franco.

Ron A. - April 20, 2010 reply

Franco is about 150 now, right?

EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 20, 2010 reply

haha

you know he’d get that bat hiked up real high and nice though =P

SouthernPanther - April 20, 2010 reply

and his arms would still be like pythons

bravos1984 - April 20, 2010 reply

He claims to be 150. He’s Dominican, though, so probably he’s closer to 153.

Ron A. - April 20, 2010 reply

Peter Peter - Philly Eater

Let’s get out of this with no more.

NCChopper - April 20, 2010 reply

Joe,

“Kate makes the catch” lol

HEYJUDE - April 20, 2010 reply

They’re talking about Brian Schneider, and his world-beating knowledge of the NL East

royhobbs - April 20, 2010 reply

SMOLTZ LOLZ

“almost a double with that swing”

Jareth Cutestory - April 20, 2010 reply

Haha, that was pretty good.

!Vive la Francoeur! - April 20, 2010 reply

2nd Strikeout that wasn't.

Dangit.

NCChopper - April 20, 2010 reply

"almost a double with that swing" Smoltz

Mighty Healthy - April 20, 2010 reply

"Amost a double with that swing."

Not funny…

EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 20, 2010 reply

Another foul forces another pitch……

bravos1984 - April 20, 2010 reply

that'll work

still was a 20 pitch inning…

SouthernPanther - April 20, 2010 reply

Remember when the pitch eaters

Used to be the Mets, like three years ago?

royhobbs - April 20, 2010 reply

Was 3 in reality though....

NCChopper - April 20, 2010 reply

I am really disturbed

that we seem unable to score on a pitcher with a double digit ERA. Let’s get this thing going Bravos!

FalconUdean - April 20, 2010 reply

His ERA against the Braves is in the 3.00s.

TonyAlmeyda - April 20, 2010 reply

Washington...

tore this guy up…and we have 3 hits…

SouthernPanther - April 20, 2010 reply

That obviously means the Nats will be better than us this season.

Smoltz's Beard - April 20, 2010 reply

Nats swept the Braves to end last season, didn't they?

ZOMG!! NATS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN BETTER!!

EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 20, 2010 reply

If it makes you feel better...

if he keeps pitching against us, his era wont be double digit for long.

Sad face.

!Vive la Francoeur! - April 20, 2010 reply

At least...

we’re not fixing Kyle Kendrick’s ERA….

BravesRaleigh - April 20, 2010 reply

Aight

My dinner’s done. May or may not be back, hopefully we won’t need another overflow

royhobbs - April 20, 2010 reply

we will if heyward gets another game winning single..

BMacAttack - April 20, 2010 reply

This is a much needed whiskey. Unfortunately it won’t be the last if Glaus keeps this up.

Smoltz's Beard - April 20, 2010 reply

Thanks for the new thread Sgt. Slaughter

I was talking to my dog’s vet about Riley. HES COMING HOME!!

Scott Coleman - April 20, 2010 reply

Sweet

Good to know. So many things more important than baseball

royhobbs - April 20, 2010 reply

Wonderful news!!! So glad for you both.

NCChopper - April 20, 2010 reply

BigG1392 - April 20, 2010 reply

They're both short

and switch hiters, and both sign autographs and are nice guys, I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference with who was up.

BravesRaleigh - April 20, 2010 reply

ha, hobo is an underused derogatory term. well done.

Smoltz's Beard - April 20, 2010 reply

know what i like about Brooksie?

his swing always looks pretty…hit or not

Jareth Cutestory - April 20, 2010 reply

UUUUGH this offense

eavchuck - April 20, 2010 reply

Diaz's little trick

didn’t work

Jareth Cutestory - April 20, 2010 reply

He should've checked his swing...

It would’ve been an in-the-park HR.

EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 20, 2010 reply

that only works for philli

SouthernPanther - April 20, 2010 reply

He hit it pretty well.

Let’s send out Venters with a D. Lowe jersey on…

EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 20, 2010 reply

i do want to see venters pitch again

trade freeman for gonzalez, sign him to a multi year deal…

fizzbot - April 20, 2010 reply

Sigh.

I’m missing new season of Dealiest Warrior for this. Our offense could at least give me some false hope.

!Vive la Francoeur! - April 20, 2010 reply

you at the game? Cuz deadliest warrior is amazing so far

Braves24 - April 20, 2010 reply

Nope. At home, but I am choosing team loyalty over actual entertainment. Flipping back during the commercials tho.
Spetznaz vs. IRA. Interesting.

!Vive la Francoeur! - April 20, 2010 reply

oh yea. I’m watching the game on my computer and the show on the tv

Braves24 - April 20, 2010 reply

Whoooo!

Kendrick going for the CG 3-hitter, glad we could fix his horrible start to this season.

BravesRaleigh - April 20, 2010 reply

I guess that 17 ERA was due to small sample size

bighop - April 20, 2010 reply

we only have three hits against phillies?

Braves24 - April 20, 2010 reply

yep

2 prado singles, and a chipper double

BravesRaleigh - April 20, 2010 reply

I’m still slightly annoyed that Prado didn’t score on Chipper’s double.

EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 20, 2010 reply

didnt look like he wouldve made it to me

BravesRaleigh - April 20, 2010 reply

Stop being rational!

He should’ve known the inning would end with a double play and tried for it anyway, damn’t!

EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 20, 2010 reply

to go along with

a beautiful GIDP by Glaus with the bases loaded and 1 out

SouthernPanther - April 20, 2010 reply

i figured

we just knew there was 1 of those every game

BravesRaleigh - April 20, 2010 reply

all glaus needed was a freakin sac fly

Braves24 - April 20, 2010 reply

why didn

Kobe:The Legend - April 20, 2010 reply

whoops... why didn't prado score on chipper's double

Kobe:The Legend - April 20, 2010 reply

werth made a good play on it and got the ball in quickly

BravesRaleigh - April 20, 2010 reply

haha

“not that any of those hits have been rockets by any means”

SouthernPanther - April 20, 2010 reply

3-0 against Kendrick?

Come on 14 year old.

Scott Coleman - April 20, 2010 reply

hey

hes got tattoos, hes clearly not 14

BravesRaleigh - April 20, 2010 reply

whoa there...

i teach 8th grade and there’s a 14 year old with a legit tattoo on her shoulder

Jareth Cutestory - April 20, 2010 reply

well then

thats kind of gross

BravesRaleigh - April 20, 2010 reply

women with ink, or just this one?

NCChopper - April 20, 2010 reply

I’m not crazy about tats on girls, but as long as they dont have a sleeve or something, it’s cool with me.

Scott Coleman - April 20, 2010 reply

No sleeve here, just one.

NCChopper - April 20, 2010 reply

Tats on chicks

Hot. I don’t mind sleeves, as long as it’s tasteful and nto just some whimsical crap design.

royhobbs - April 20, 2010 reply

Mine is pretty privately located. Southwestern symbol that means a lot to me.

NCChopper - April 20, 2010 reply

true story here

my friend Ben always thought he was hot stuff and was probably the cockiest guy i’ve ever met.

he got “unbreakable” betweeen his clavicles. 2 weeks after, we were playing football at the park and he landed weird and sure enough, broke his clavicle and dislocated his shoulder. i found it hilarious

Scott Coleman - April 20, 2010 reply

Nice

That sounds like a tool tat, that’s for sure.

royhobbs - April 20, 2010 reply

Hubby was in the Navy. Fellow sailor went out, had a bit too much to drink and got a tat of a pair of cherries on his pecker. He fell asleep without covering it with something and while he was sleeping, where the tat was, stuck to his underwear. Needless to say, the next morning this guy had much more discomfort than a hangover.

NCChopper - April 20, 2010 reply

oh damn. that’d realllly suck.

Scott Coleman - April 20, 2010 reply

I think they're just a disguise

look at the guy and tell me he couldn’t pass as a high school freshman

Scott Coleman - April 20, 2010 reply

in the face, yes.

in build, not really

Jareth Cutestory - April 20, 2010 reply

oh ive seen him up close

he could, i just like to argue

BravesRaleigh - April 20, 2010 reply

so have I

and I simply disagree. Face, absolutely. He’s too built in my opinion.

Jareth Cutestory - April 20, 2010 reply

5 pitches to the pitcher
come on!!!

NCChopper - April 20, 2010 reply

I don’t get it. Why can’t the Braves hit this deadbeat KK? He’s not good at all, yet they rarely do anything against him.

FitzFan - April 20, 2010 reply

the mvpcast feed is way behind

SouthernPanther - April 20, 2010 reply

good throw

gets him

Jareth Cutestory - April 20, 2010 reply

what a try by Escobar!

fandave - April 20, 2010 reply

Broken bat single.
The Phillies should play the GA Lottery before they go home.

NCChopper - April 20, 2010 reply

they are

and they’re winning

BravesRaleigh - April 20, 2010 reply

Shame Milky & Matty are wasting Prado awesome start.

FitzFan - April 20, 2010 reply

what?

Melky’s not even playing

BravesRaleigh - April 20, 2010 reply

I think he’s saying in general, and yeah. It’s gonna suck when Prado starts slumping.

Smoltz's Beard - April 20, 2010 reply

oh

like the start of the season

BravesRaleigh - April 20, 2010 reply

Yeah i meant in general. I know i’m tough on Milky, but Matt’s been sucking too. I’d jut hate if they both finally come around, right when Marteeen in slumping.

FitzFan - April 20, 2010 reply

Well, the plan is that Glaus turns it on at some point in the year. We’ll see.

Smoltz's Beard - April 20, 2010 reply

Ugh

this could get ugly pretty soon.

Scott Coleman - April 20, 2010 reply

put in venters

atl192485 - April 20, 2010 reply

Let's go Phillies!!

TIME TO GET SOME INSURANCE RUNS!!!

P.S. I have decided I am the bad luck guy, so I will be cheering for the Phillies throughout the remainder of this game.

You must always do this from now on. :)

EyePod - April 20, 2010 reply

Well,...

The phillies will need the insurance runs the way the Braves are tearing the cover off the ball.

FalconUdean - April 20, 2010 reply

Screw you!

Damn Braves fan! Your team is worthless. The Phillies have the best bullpen in the history of baseball. It’s going to shut down the Braves’ pathetic offense – you’ll see!

EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 20, 2010 reply

Foul, foul, foul, foul a ton of pitcher every batter.

NCChopper - April 20, 2010 reply

Fielder's Choice - RBI

Phuck!

Johnny Ringo - April 20, 2010 reply

Is it just mean, or does Escobar look awkward as hell when he dives? Maybe he’s got a bigger build than most SS, I dunno.

Smoltz's Beard - April 20, 2010 reply

he looks like hes as flexible as my grandpa, so I think the dives are tough.

Scott Coleman - April 20, 2010 reply

Just seems weird for a 26 year old

Smoltz's Beard - April 20, 2010 reply

it says he’s 6’ 2" tall

Johnny Ringo - April 20, 2010 reply

Yeah, it’s just odd cause Hanley’s bigger but much more fluid.

Smoltz's Beard - April 20, 2010 reply

Profit?

Well only if Liberty promises to reinvest it in the team. Otherwise, profit is unnecessary

BraveSaluki - April 20, 2010 reply

…sigh.

+1 I suppose. You went a long way for it.

!Vive la Francoeur! - April 20, 2010 reply

Chipper crushing the ball from the LH side. That’s a good sign.

Smoltz's Beard - April 20, 2010 reply

Can’t get a break tonight

schlagdawg - April 20, 2010 reply

GOOD CATCH VICTORINO!!

Chipper Jones should’ve retired ages ago. He’s never been a good baseball player.

I know you're joking

But this is going to get old really fast, i can assure you

It’s past “going”

NCChopper - April 20, 2010 reply

I admire your dedication.

Smoltz's Beard - April 20, 2010 reply

Christ

VIctorino amps it up to like 213mph against the Braves.

royhobbs - April 20, 2010 reply

213 you say…

Lizziebeth - April 21, 2010 reply

On gameday it keeps calling the phil’s hits soft fly balls. Are they getting dinky broken bat singles or what?

FitzFan - April 20, 2010 reply

like you wouldn’t imagine

atl192485 - April 20, 2010 reply

dinky singles is even an understatement

check swing doubles

SouthernPanther - April 20, 2010 reply

apparently

if you make solid contact you don’t get a hit, but if you check a swing or hit off the dirt you get a double tonight…

SouthernPanther - April 20, 2010 reply

Screw trying to hit - let's try check-swinging.

NCChopper - April 20, 2010 reply

Perfect. Another DP opportunity.

Smoltz's Beard - April 20, 2010 reply

Glaus seems to be perpetually behind in the count.

eavchuck - April 20, 2010 reply

he goes 0-2 just about everytime

SouthernPanther - April 20, 2010 reply

To his credit he gets back to 2-2 and 3-2 before striking out/GIDP

Smoltz's Beard - April 20, 2010 reply

Glaus really needs to get a hit

Glaus getting booed

BigG1392 - April 20, 2010 reply

Yeah.

I’m a bit disappointed that he’s getting booed.

soup du jour - April 20, 2010 reply

Not surprising though.

Smoltz's Beard - April 20, 2010 reply

Would anyone do

Adrian Gonzalez

for

K. Medlen
and one of
A. Vizcanio
J. Teheran

TheBravestWay To Block A Decent Prospect - April 20, 2010 reply

For him, the Pads would want Freddie and Medlen…. and I might actually do that trade…. if I thought we could pay AGonz for a while.

carpengui - April 20, 2010 reply

yeah so we don't make the same mistakes as the trade of Tex

Kobe:The Legend - April 20, 2010 reply

If we traded for Agon, what would it take to sign him and could we?

Braves24 - April 20, 2010 reply

Doubt the Pads would go for that.

They’d probably want Freeman on top of that. Think of what we gave up for Tex as a benchmark.

People who boo their own players are complete and total jackasses. I don’t care what’s going on.

eavchuck - April 20, 2010 reply

But Glaus deserves it. lol

Jose Rodriguez - April 20, 2010 reply

A caveat.

When they don’t hustle or they play lackadasically. Then they completely deserve it.

You’ll do some more damage to these incompetent Braves tomorrow!

EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 20, 2010 reply

According to fangraphs...

Troy Glaus is at – .250 for this game so far. So if the Phillies win, a quarter of their victory is due to his suck. Damn that’s depressing.

FalconUdean - April 20, 2010 reply

that’s epically bad

Smoltz's Beard - April 20, 2010 reply

lol, that makes me chuckle in this sad, pathetic kind of way.

It's not just him not hitting.

HEYJUDE - April 20, 2010 reply

He actually has done more to hurt the Braves’ chances of winning than Utley has helped the Phillies. So in a way, he has helped the Phillies more than Utley has this game. Maybe they should pay his salary for tonight.

Sorry, I’m just frustrated and he’s getting the brunt tonight.

FalconUdean - April 20, 2010 reply

No problem being frustrated about it. You’re acting mature, unlike alot of other people earlier.

Also,

We’ve got a team OPS of .862 with RISP. Thought that would be less too.

Oh, and that's good for 4th in the majors.

We got good OBP too…just can’t hit more than singles (slg 27th in the majors).

We have 5 solo shots, but that’s good for 23rd in the league (4 with runners on, 22nd in the league). Conclusion: we don’t hit may HRs at all, regardless of the men on base.

Forget VORP, let’s come up with a stat for the size of a guy’s heart, am I right, people? We’ll call it the Eckstein Quotient. No, wait, that sounds too nerdy. Eckstein Number. Nope. Still too smart. Eckstein Thing. How about just Thing? The highest Thing in the majors? You guessed it: David Eckstein. That’s why they almost named it after him.

UGARedcoat13 - April 20, 2010 reply

Who was saying the Braves don't hit HRs?

That was AMAZING! Can’t wait to be there Thursday for some more magic. I gurantee will be staying till the end of the game

JaeSlim - April 20, 2010 reply

I wasn't come on tonight because I had to study while watching

But I haven’t looked at a book since the 7th inning! I believe it was gondeee’s post that noted our resilience? Holy shit!!! If you don’t know by now we have a hell of a baseball player that is only 20 and a team that absolutely will not quit. I loving this in Phillie-land.

Don’t worry, I’ll make you all proud tomorrow up here.

LET’S GO BRAVES!!!!!!!

JKowalek - April 20, 2010 reply

atl192485 - April 20, 2010 reply

2nd most boring game of the season

up until 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th. EPIC

It will def. be up there at the end of the season when we sweep those pieces of shit, i can promise that.

says that everyone looks at this game as the day the rookie cam through again instead of mclouths big walkoff

Dawg013 - April 20, 2010 reply

McClouth

never gets a chance if Heyward doesn’t step up his game like he did. Heyward deserves it

SouthernPanther - April 20, 2010 reply

McLouth. McLouth. McLouth. McLouth.

Sorry, I’ve seen it like 3 times and it’s just bothering me.

ATLforlife - April 20, 2010 reply

I know he does

And its the way i see it too, but im just sayin lol

Dawg013 - April 20, 2010 reply

So what? He tied it. Gotta take it 1 hit at a time. And Heyward isn't hitting god damned 200.

Hopefully this is the day we remember as Mclouth’s turnaround.

EyePod - April 20, 2010 reply

I sure hope so

It would be in great dramatic fashion

Dawg013 - April 20, 2010 reply

Probably true, but as far as I’m concerned all the McLouth haters can suck it after tonight

Rhyno18 - April 20, 2010 reply

And the Glaus haters…

EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 20, 2010 reply

that silent treatment…epic

This is going to be a fun year. Can’t wait for the team to come up to the DC area so I can see the legend of Jason Heyward in person.

LEastCoastBears - April 20, 2010 reply

I just wanna hug somebody. Any takers?

Scott Coleman - April 20, 2010 reply

JadedMayberry - April 20, 2010 reply

Our blog is basically going through a giant group hug

ATLforlife - April 20, 2010 reply

Better than a circle jerk

Which is probably what phillies fans would call it right now…

until Glaus does another GIDP with bases loaded and 1 out =P

SouthernPanther - April 20, 2010 reply

I had trouble watching it our bats looked so bad. Never quit baby!

JKowalek - April 20, 2010 reply

Seriously..

Where did the Glaus hate go? How quickly the tune changes, no?

ATLforlife - April 20, 2010 reply

funny thing happens

when you produce

SouthernPanther - April 20, 2010 reply

There's still issues.

But hopefully this will buy him enough goodwill for him to get completely sorted out.

soup du jour - April 20, 2010 reply

As I said earlier...

This has got him moved out of the basement and into the corner closet on the 1st floor…

I want consistent production, better glove work and less GIDP before he gets the penthouse suite

Vance in Sacramento - April 20, 2010 reply

Glaus should be hitting 6-7th for the time being. I think he is pressing a little bit. Did a great job late tonight though.

JadedMayberry - April 20, 2010 reply

Come on, archived game, come on........

MUST. WATCH. AGAIN.

soup du jour - April 20, 2010 reply

We had no walk-off home runs last year right?

Especially when there’s a chance that Heyward is coming up!!!!

JadedMayberry - April 20, 2010 reply

I felt certain, the way Glaus had been hitting

That there was no way the inning would last past his AB.

I’ve been such a fool.

Bronn - April 20, 2010 reply

Uh

How close to the park do you live? I thought you were at the game?

royhobbs - April 20, 2010 reply

Bronn - April 20, 2010 reply

lol Douglasville

But isn’t there already nothing but construction with all the flood damage and road construction out there?

royhobbs - April 20, 2010 reply

Nah

Construction around here all is done, and they finally repaired that bridge on 166, so the flood damage is basically done. There’s one street in a subdivision that’s still washed out, and it will be for a while because the city’s out of money to fix streets.

Bronn - April 20, 2010 reply

I used to live not far from there

And used to work out at the Golds in chapel hill. But then the flood hit and destroyed everything around there, and I couldn’t get to Golds without having to reach around my neck to scratch my ass. so i took the penalty fees and took my business elsewhere.

royhobbs - April 20, 2010 reply

Honest to god, I was hoping that McCann would get on base and Glaus would tie it up. But I’ll take this!

Smoltz's Beard - April 20, 2010 reply

Good for Glaus

You guys probably heard some of the flack he was catching, but in my section, it was pretty foul. He certainly needed it.

Bronn - April 20, 2010 reply

You deserve your shame. :P

bravos1984 - April 20, 2010 reply

Radio just don't do it, eh?

carpengui - April 20, 2010 reply

I did that when we played the Mets in middle school and were down 4 or 5. Got to the top end of 285 when we won and Pete said, “To everyone who left early, NANNY NANNY BOO BOO!”

I’ve never left a game early since.

I would like to thank the following people who made this game possible..
- Troy Glaus
- Brian McCann
- Nate McLouth
- Billy Wagner
- Jason Heyward
- The whole Braves bench for doin’ that epic slient treatment
- and especially, Jesus Christ.

Jose Rodriguez - April 20, 2010 reply

Attention:

Riley the rally pup will be receiving petitioners for his blessing in the common room. Troy and Nate will be serving crow in the dining hall. Be sure to feed the raindbow llama and wash your hands in the bowl filled with Heyward’s sweat and philly tears on your way out.

Heyward sweat is too valuable to use for washing hands

schlagdawg - April 20, 2010 reply

I'm kinda liking that lineup change...

… with Heyward following Glaus.

carpengui - April 20, 2010 reply

Anyone think Glaus got a pitch to hit

Because Madsen was afraid of facing Heyward with 2 on base?

Vance in Sacramento - April 20, 2010 reply

I think he wanted to just get a pitch over the plate and thought Glaus was going to hit it for an out. I bet the report says that Glaus is struggling. That is why they pitch around McCann earlier in the game.

romone_braves91 - April 20, 2010 reply

yea me too especially if McCann is going to hit cleanup. It keeps the lineup balanced

Braves24 - April 20, 2010 reply

that was the single greatest silent treatment EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t get over it.

SouthernPanther - April 20, 2010 reply

Right when he rounded first

They were gone. Even JHey said in his interview, " I had no idea what was going on. We just got up and started hiding."

UGARedcoat13 - April 20, 2010 reply

I liked where he talked about talking to the ball

schlagdawg - April 20, 2010 reply

what did he say??

atl192485 - April 20, 2010 reply

“come on, come on, come on” is what I could read from his lips.

BullManUGA - April 20, 2010 reply

I only have the radio. Details, please.

FalconUdean - April 20, 2010 reply

Nate hit his walk off

and immidiatly everyone cleared the dugout and headed for the locker room. McClouth was out there all alone…hahaha…epic. You could see as he rounded first half te dugout was already gone!

SouthernPanther - April 20, 2010 reply

Besides one helluva comeback win - that silent treatment will be one I'll never forget!

I get a sense this team’s chemistry is special and it gave me chills to watch them in the tunnel together.

It totally is 80000000x better than Fielder’s celebration last year

true!!

although i did like Fielder’s celebration

SouthernPanther - April 20, 2010 reply

It felt like a Classy thing without showing up the other team.

Until it’s Hannah Storm talking about it in the morning. Hello older nurse.

royhobbs - April 20, 2010 reply

Did they interview Heyward post-game?

Sutton was saying, on the radio, that it looked like, as Chipper was congratulating Heyward following the homer, that he was saying “I told you he’d try to throw you the change-up.”

Bronn - April 20, 2010 reply

Yes – and he said that he was looking for it.

carpengui - April 20, 2010 reply

That's awesome

Chipper for batting coach. Heyward for MVP.

Bronn - April 20, 2010 reply

Wasn’t trying to homer – just hit it hard “with a good short swing”

carpengui - April 20, 2010 reply

Joe said he ran the bases in 18 seconds.

NCChopper - April 20, 2010 reply

Never, in all my life, thought I would like a player as much as Chipper. I was wrong.

The 15-year old girls totally dig the new handle, i bet

NCChopper - April 20, 2010 reply

We don’t count that one. That was all Jo-Jo.

bravos1984 - April 20, 2010 reply

Jo-Jo Who?!?

I hope he’s gone for good!

HEYJUDE - April 20, 2010 reply

Wags, Saito, Moylan, K-Med, EO’F, Chavez, Venters = EPIC POWAH!

Jose Rodriguez - April 20, 2010 reply

WHAT ABOUT JJ!!!

oh wait…nevermind…he blows…good thing he’s on the DL!!!

SouthernPanther - April 20, 2010 reply

Heyward is ranked eighteenth in the AP College Football Poll

JadedMayberry - April 20, 2010 reply

I like this

More like this one-better than retread Chuck Norris jokes.

Bronn - April 20, 2010 reply

I wonder

which NFL team is going to try and draft Jason Heyward this week

royhobbs - April 20, 2010 reply

Someone should definitely take a flyer in him in the 7th round

So they can own his rights whenever he tries to pull a Bo Jackson.

Bronn - April 20, 2010 reply

Jay Hey knows baseball.

bravos1984 - April 20, 2010 reply

Jay Hey knows tennis?

Bronn - April 20, 2010 reply

Jay-Hey knows everything!

HEYJUDE - April 20, 2010 reply

Ohhh shit. I feel like “J-Hey knows….” is going to catch on.

romone_braves91 - April 20, 2010 reply

J-Hey knows who stole the last cookie from the cookie jar

HereComesBream - April 22, 2010 reply

the raiders probably would pull the trigger

judging by how fast he rounded those bases

SouthernPanther - April 20, 2010 reply

Michael Vick was drafted in baseball even though he hadn’t played since the 7th grade or something ridiculous like that.

BullManUGA - April 20, 2010 reply

Bret the Hitman Hart

Was recruited onto the Canadian national wrestling team despite the fact that he was a professional wrestler and not Greco-Roman

royhobbs - April 20, 2010 reply

He actually was a legit wrestler. He just never wanted to compete beyond high school.

bravos1984 - April 20, 2010 reply

Heyward’s sweat can form into a liquid human. Like that guy from Terminator 2!

JadedMayberry - April 20, 2010 reply

Heyward can slam a revolving door

JKowalek - April 20, 2010 reply

HaHaHa – hilarious.

SEPT 14, 1993
ATLANTA (AP) – It may have been the biggest victory of the year for the Atlanta Braves. There’s no doubt it was the biggest home run of Ron Gant’s career.
Gant’s three-run homer capped a five-run ninth inning and Atlanta continued its amazing roll with a 7-6 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday night.

That was a fun ending to watch, too!

carpengui - April 20, 2010 reply

I don’t even know what to do with myself right now.

Gage23 - April 20, 2010 reply

Same here

Its like i want to party, but the ceiling in mom’s basement is too low, and I’d hit my head. I had too many birthday drinks the night prior so i’m kind of detoxing tonight. and my DVR is recording something so i can’t watch espn. I’m just kind of in limbo.

royhobbs - April 20, 2010 reply

Don’t worry. ESPN hasn’t said garbage about it.

Gage23 - April 20, 2010 reply

WTF would you watch ESPN? MLBN or bust!

BullManUGA - April 20, 2010 reply

Dish Network

No mlbn

royhobbs - April 20, 2010 reply

Hahahahah talking about the silent treatment. They LOVED it

Gage23 - April 20, 2010 reply

Mitch Williams just gave all the credit of Heywards HR to Madison’s inability to close….

JKowalek - April 20, 2010 reply

I think he’s full of it.

Gage23 - April 20, 2010 reply

I’m watching it now. What a dumbfuck. He says Madson’s problem is that he has TOO MUCH CONTROL! Hahaha!

BullManUGA - April 20, 2010 reply

Madson may be a good pitcher but they don’t hit homers when you have too much control.

BullManUGA - April 20, 2010 reply

His cohosts are laughing at his fury. Hahaaha

Gage23 - April 20, 2010 reply

This coming from a guy who gave up the gamewinning homerun to Joe Carter to lose the ws for the Phils.

!Vive la Francoeur! - April 20, 2010 reply

Since when has Mitch known wtf he’s talking about

Smoltz's Beard - April 20, 2010 reply

I forgot the game was on MLBN tonight.

Gage23 - April 20, 2010 reply

They said they are about to talk about it on MLB Tonight

Gage23 - April 20, 2010 reply

recap up!

let’s move the celebration there!

atl192485 - April 20, 2010 reply

Jason Heyward is an eight foot two ton monster who can palm a medicine ball!

JadedMayberry - April 20, 2010 reply

Now it is time to watch MLB Tonight and listen to what they say about our game.

BullManUGA - April 20, 2010 reply

I wonder what the thread count was in the 9th? after the Glaus Homer? after the Heyward homer? and after the McLouth homer?

romone_braves91 - April 20, 2010 reply

We need some sort of fangraphs-like graph to dissect that

Smoltz's Beard - April 20, 2010 reply

We're very close to ...setting a post record I think.

NCChopper - April 20, 2010 reply

Wasn’t the highest total 2400 or so?

NCChopper - April 20, 2010 reply

I bet we are. No one wants to leave the excitement!

HEYJUDE - April 20, 2010 reply

Why can’t I quit this thread?

BullManUGA - April 20, 2010 reply

Our fearless leader would know… hey where are you fearless leader?

NCChopper - April 20, 2010 reply

Last year saw the very first 1000 comment post

This year’s comment count has probably passed all of last year by now. I’m actually not joking. Every GT this season has easily crossed 1000

royhobbs - April 20, 2010 reply

I know in some of the recaps, they have given the totals for the GTs. I think I remember 2400 or so the number to beat.

NCChopper - April 20, 2010 reply

And gondeee hardly comes into OTs. The last time I remember seeing him actually post with the flow was when Julian Tavarez was a Brave

royhobbs - April 20, 2010 reply

And naturally, he was drunk

royhobbs - April 20, 2010 reply

That was a priceless interaction, if I remember correctly. You’re the whiz when it comes to pulling up old shit, do your thing.

Smoltz's Beard - April 20, 2010 reply

Proof that gondeee once interacted in the OTs

Its starts here

royhobbs - April 20, 2010 reply

That was….interesting….

bravos1984 - April 20, 2010 reply

damn

thos were back in the good ol days of TC

Scott Coleman - April 21, 2010 reply

Seriously man, it’s been pretty great so far.

Smoltz's Beard - April 20, 2010 reply

2443 as of this post.

!Vive la Francoeur! - April 20, 2010 reply

Well, 4/20 has certainly found me high tonight.

FalconUdean - April 20, 2010 reply

An all time high?

BullManUGA - April 20, 2010 reply

I’ve been up with the braves many times, but this is pretty high. Not 1995 WS high, but pretty freaking high.

FalconUdean - April 20, 2010 reply

What a game. That makes six come from behind wins so far this year according to Don on the radio.

It seems like the league/division champions always have a ton of come from behind wins.

playertobenamedlater - April 20, 2010 reply

Here's one...

The meaning of Life learned Jason Heyward.

4/20 Weather in Atlanta?

Krikgouw_tiny by Vance in Sacramento on Apr 20, 2010 2:19 PM PDT Comment 6 comments, 6 new

No, that doesn’t mean a certain green-leafed plant is falling from the sky…

 

I am getting conflicting information from various weather sources… Can someone in the region give me the skinny on how the weather is looking and how it may impact the game? I’m here in Sacramento, California, and the weather forecasters can’t seem to agree on what will be happening in Atlanta, at say about 4:10 PM PT / 7:10 PM ET…

Looks like a chance of rain, but not enough to worry about. I’d say 90%+ chance we play

Heyward is pretty good

by bighop on Apr 20, 2010 2:23 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

It rained in Macon (hour south of Atlanta) about 30 minutes ago for around an hour. Not sure which way it’s moving, but it’s relatively sunny again now…

What’s up man! I live in Sacramento too!!

People will come Ray. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it’s a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again.

Our weather has been horrible today!

Have been for the past couple days…

Hey, maybe that explains me bursting onto the TC scene with reckless abandon yesterday?

Damn weather!

cbwilk - April 20, 2010 reply

Not sure why it's here

But it’s funny to me that cb dumped this deleted fanpost as a comment to get buried in 1200+ comments here

royhobbs - April 20, 2010 reply

Funny thing was,

The philly fans were sarcastically referring to Heyward as Jesus most of the night. I don’t think it was quite as funny to them by the end.

FalconUdean - April 20, 2010 reply

I have a feeling about this season

i think we have it this year. We get the crapp kicked out of us for 8 innings, then come back…

Mclouth snapping out of his funk?

Braves Biceps - April 20, 2010 reply

Still too early to tell, but I think everyone on here should be very optimistic at our chances.

Fuck Madson. Fuck the racist-ass Braves. And fuck Sarah Palin.
