But it’s rather bothersome when you think about the fact that:
The Nats have played the Phillies twice so far and they have a better record than we do.
This looks like last year to me…… I don’t understand this team right now, if there’s gonna be any chance this year they need to turn this around. Can’t keep this up.
Behind the nationals…
So much for winning one for Bobby. Spring training was good. We were in first place a few times during spring, believe it or not.
This is just sad. I wonder what we’ll be like when Bobby leaves…
A good series of games can potentially put the Braves back in second place (or even first) in a week. Yes, the team sucks right now, but moaning like “Oh we’re in last place we’ll never get out of this hole we’re doomed!!!11” doesn’t help anything. Everyone is still within three games of each other, so as long as the Braves are within striking distance, there really shouldn’t be any complaining.
I was thinking the same thing….the 3 game difference between 1st and 5th place in the NL East….but I was still too disparaged from watching today’s game to write it up. Thanks for posting that.
That’s Mark Texeira. I as well as everybody is sure about one thing, and that’s that Tex will turn it around. But still, I’m going to keep “hoping” that this dude:
.167 AVG. 515 OPS, 2 HR, 9 RBI, 9 Hits in 54 AB’S
Turns it around too. Not at Tex level, but at least to a “decent” level. And that’s Mr. Troy Glaus.
Come on JJ.

It was a dumb call to put on the hit and run there. Troy had no chance to hit that ball.

I have been less than pleased with our throwing abilities of late – either direction.
NCChopper - April 24, 2010
Seriously
We’re out of whack in all phases of the game (except pitching)
Jacob Peterson - April 24, 2010
This.
The throws from home go into center field. The throws from center field (or left or right) go up the first or third base lines.

I’m trying to stay positive – but we’ve had no chance of late throwing out baserunners.

blowing a lead tends to do that

what is WPA?

It’s the sum of the probability changes of the team winning the game for all the plays (kinda) the particular player was involved in during the game.

The Nats have played the Phillies twice so far and they have a better record than we do.
NCChopper - April 24, 2010
the way we are playing though we still have 6 days left in April to not finish .500 too…
bpk228480 - April 24, 2010
Ha, very true. Just trying to keep it positive.
Smoltz's Beard - April 24, 2010
HEY! we've got this! We did it to the Phils. We can do it to the MUTS!
jk. I really don’t think we do, but i’m trying out this optimist thing
BravesFanScout - April 24, 2010
you’re hilarious?
BMacAttack - April 24, 2010
is he?
kreese555 - April 24, 2010
no?
schlagdawg - April 24, 2010
What? you don't believe the braves will win?
BravesFanScout - April 24, 2010
haha, i thought the ? was interesting
kreese555 - April 24, 2010
What do you not think we're gonna win?
BravesFanScout - April 24, 2010
hey man, stop being so pessimistic!
BravesFanScout - April 24, 2010
this is bullshit we can't even win the series to the mets against not too good pitchers! CRAP
Kobe:The Legend - April 24, 2010
At least JJ worked to the 7th
not bad
UltimaParadox - April 24, 2010
and might get the loss
Braves24 - April 24, 2010
ANOTHER WALK!?
PULL JJ NOW!!!
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 24, 2010
JJ walks Pagan
ugh
UltimaParadox - April 24, 2010
Walk – and now Bobby’s walking.
carpengui - April 24, 2010
ANOTHER WALK…UGH
TonyAlmeyda - April 24, 2010
Poor JJ
i feel bad for him. he’s thrown gems his last 2 starts and the offense doesn’t do shit for him.
WAY TO GO STUD.
Scott Coleman - April 24, 2010
I wonder how the pitchers feel about pitching for the braves.
They pitch very well and hardly ever have anything to show for it
BravesFanScout - April 24, 2010
go away
BMacAttack - April 24, 2010
STFU! Don't reply to my comments if you don't like them. I pretty sure i'm not the only one
on the site that has negative shit to say asshole.
BravesFanScout - April 24, 2010
FIGHT
Smoltz's Beard - April 24, 2010
Looks like a Scout vs. a Soldier….doesn’t seem evenly matched.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 24, 2010
A good scout always beats a good soldier.
DogDaysofSummer - April 24, 2010
Pretty solid start all things considered.
Smoltz's Beard - April 24, 2010
Cant ask for better honestly
That a boy - April 24, 2010
+1
not his fault the offense, defense, and baserunning are terrible
Jacob Peterson - April 24, 2010
I didnt expect much from this line up its horrible
That a boy - April 24, 2010
JJ is going to ask wren for a trade!
That a boy - April 24, 2010
hey man, don't say negative shit. BMacAttack will get pissed!
BravesFanScout - April 24, 2010
Ummm okay
That a boy - April 24, 2010
gameday on mlb
“atlanta braves 3rd basemen Chipper Jones has left the game due to an injured head” what happened?
BMacAttack - April 24, 2010
head?
I’m pretty sure it was his leg
Jacob Peterson - April 24, 2010
i thought so… says head though
BMacAttack - April 24, 2010
*insert joke from NCChopper hear about a “head”
Scott Coleman - April 24, 2010
I never joke about head.
NCChopper - April 24, 2010
very nice.
10-4 - April 24, 2010
schlagdawg - April 24, 2010
TWHS ;-)
NCChopper - April 24, 2010
haha
Smoltz's Beard - April 24, 2010
He thinks he can still play ooooooooooooh that was below the belt
kreese555 - April 24, 2010
Wait…head?
HereComesBream - April 24, 2010
haha
Smoltz's Beard - April 24, 2010
They’re confusing him with what is gonna happen to Escobat after the game.
10-4 - April 24, 2010
when is the offense going to turn around and give the pitching staff run support?
Braves24 - April 24, 2010
When
Melky is benched
Glaus starts hitting a fastball
Mclouth gets a little lucky
Yunel pulls his head out of his ass
UltimaParadox - April 24, 2010
Don't be ridiculous
When those guys just stop being unlucky, that’s when we’ll be fine. Though I agree about Yunel’s head and his ass.
Jacob Peterson - April 24, 2010
haha yunel
Braves24 - April 24, 2010
Melky did have a hit today…but yea.
Scott Coleman - April 24, 2010
Melky
is hitting the best of our OFs right now. Sad but true
Jacob Peterson - April 24, 2010
funny
One double is all his lately
But Heyward has a single today too
UltimaParadox - April 24, 2010
Melky singled last night in the 9th
Heyward is 1 for his last a lot. Melky is 2 for his last 4.
Jacob Peterson - April 24, 2010
4 PA sample size, FTW!
Lennox - April 24, 2010
I said "right now"
How is that not clear to you people?
Jacob Peterson - April 24, 2010
The fact that it’s a vague statement?
Lennox - April 24, 2010
is it just me or is heyward taking TOO many pitches….i feel like he’s been in an 0-1, 0-2 hole for an entire week
bpk228480 - April 24, 2010
Probably something to that
Jacob Peterson - April 24, 2010
Sounds like something new for you to research...
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 24, 2010
I dunno...
Are you talking about very recent, due to Heyward going back into strikeout mode?
Also, Nate has looked better lately (but not yesterday). Melky has definitely been hitting best in this Mets series, though… :(
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 24, 2010
Yes
hence “right now”
Jacob Peterson - April 24, 2010
do you have any info on schafer’s wrist progress?
Braves24 - April 24, 2010
i don’t think he’s started swinging bats yet
Jareth Cutestory - April 24, 2010
I’m sad.
HereComesBream - April 24, 2010
I'm contemplating taking another run at that case of beer. But I'll need friends for motivation...
kreese555 - April 24, 2010
The game is almost over
you need more support?
UltimaParadox - April 24, 2010
Eh, just friends actually. Haha
I’m in Nashville doing the whole “writing thing” and everyone I know is back home. Not fun.
kreese555 - April 24, 2010
EOF now pitching
carpengui - April 24, 2010
Inning over, finally.
TonyAlmeyda - April 24, 2010
Like mvhsbball said, start the Glaus hate cuz last time we did that he homered.
HereComesBream - April 24, 2010
I said that
Kobe:The Legend - April 24, 2010
Oopsie
The braves suckiness affected my memory.
HereComesBream - April 24, 2010
Grounder to third – end of inning.
We’re behind 3-1 after seven.
carpengui - April 24, 2010
Our offense is depressing
Mighty Healthy - April 24, 2010
7th finally ends
Johnny Ringo - April 24, 2010
We're only 2 runs down... we can DO THIS!
I’ve seen it before. It can happen!
NCChopper - April 24, 2010
Meh
HereComesBream - April 24, 2010
where's NCChopper?!
rally caps, son!
BMacAttack - April 24, 2010
that should be “daughter.”
Jareth Cutestory - April 24, 2010
oh wow, really? i guess that saying about assumptions is right…
BMacAttack - April 24, 2010
I think we need a different rally cap graphic
the last one is broken
Jacob Peterson - April 24, 2010
NCChopper - April 24, 2010
It's not over.
Scott Coleman - April 24, 2010
RILEY! SAVE US!
Kobe:The Legend - April 24, 2010
Yaaay puppies!
HereComesBream - April 24, 2010
rec
BMacAttack - April 24, 2010
+1!!!
Jacob Peterson - April 24, 2010
10/10
Would buy again!!!
schlagdawg - April 24, 2010
+100
TonyAlmeyda - April 24, 2010
Did Riley get one with text on it? Or did I forget to send it?
NCChopper - April 24, 2010
yeah I got that one. I just need to save it to the photobucket. i just wanted to get one up quick for the 4-run rally we’re about to have.
Scott Coleman - April 24, 2010
I was just afraid I forgot it. Good.
Riley is our good luck charm!!
NCChopper - April 24, 2010
see y'all later!
go braves!
Jareth Cutestory - April 24, 2010
maybe riley could be new rally guy!
Kobe:The Legend - April 24, 2010
Diaz base hit
alright
UltimaParadox - April 24, 2010
Good start for the 8th! A single from Diaz!
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 24, 2010
Matty D with a nice hit!
Jacob Peterson - April 24, 2010
Does anyone else miss Skip and Pete?
HereComesBream - April 24, 2010
do you need to ask?
sheesh
Jacob Peterson - April 24, 2010
no. who are they?
10-4 - April 24, 2010
Slippery Pete?
Holes! I need HOLES!
kreese555 - April 24, 2010
One hit already.
Scott Coleman - April 24, 2010
NCChopper - April 24, 2010
nice diaz
Braves24 - April 24, 2010
come on, don't waste is
Kobe:The Legend - April 24, 2010
it^
Kobe:The Legend - April 24, 2010
Tying run to the plate!
BravesFanScout - April 24, 2010
Don’t jinx it, everyone…
HereComesBream - April 24, 2010
LOLMelky
doing the 1-handed swing
Scott Coleman - April 24, 2010
doing his best Andruw impression
Jacob Peterson - April 24, 2010
7 of our 9 lobs…..were in scoring position
bpk228480 - April 24, 2010
“You don’t know nothin’ bout my LOBs!” – Braves Offense
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 24, 2010
Melky back to form
People on base he is totally useless
Of course I guess that is the whole team
UltimaParadox - April 24, 2010
Yeah
Even J-hey is having trouble with RISP now…
Jacob Peterson - April 24, 2010
Though that ENDS HERE
Jacob Peterson - April 24, 2010
yeah
thats when the losses started piling up
UltimaParadox - April 24, 2010
Fuck you Wright...
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 24, 2010
MELKY
2-2 count. Fouled out to Wright. 1 down.
carpengui - April 24, 2010
Lefty in to face Heyward?
UltimaParadox - April 24, 2010
Heyward
… and a pitching change.
carpengui - April 24, 2010
Feliciano
schlagdawg - April 24, 2010
Ha. Ha. Ha.
Jason Heyward. A 20-year old rookie that makes opposing managers bring in a LOOGY just for him.
Scott Coleman - April 24, 2010
No play for mr. grey…..rejjjjeeeccteeddddd
bpk228480 - April 24, 2010
Gah..
I hate that commercial. It’s so stupid.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 24, 2010
Whats the score? Not watching….
HereComesBream - April 24, 2010
3-1 Mets
TonyAlmeyda - April 24, 2010
we’re winning 9-4
Scott Coleman - April 24, 2010
In our hearts...
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 24, 2010
come on’….do you expect him to believe that??? maybe like 2-1
bpk228480 - April 24, 2010
J-Hey...use some of your magic to bring us back!
BravesFanScout - April 24, 2010
COME ON JAY HEY!!
HereComesBream - April 24, 2010
Diaz is batting the best of our OFers right now!
Lennox - April 24, 2010
0-Fers
BullManUGA - April 24, 2010
Small sample size FTW?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 24, 2010
ha ha
Jacob Peterson - April 24, 2010
What bout J?
HereComesBream - April 24, 2010
Take him the other way
Come on Heyward
UltimaParadox - April 24, 2010
that didn't look like a strike
BravesFanScout - April 24, 2010
but it was
BravesFanScout - April 24, 2010
Sad
This looks like last year to me…… I don’t understand this team right now, if there’s gonna be any chance this year they need to turn this around. Can’t keep this up.
USAFCCF - April 24, 2010
Not possible
to keep this up. It is unsustainable. So don’t worry.
Jacob Peterson - April 24, 2010
Heyward beat out the DP!
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 24, 2010
+"Matt Diaz is a baseball player!"
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 24, 2010
Wow he's fast
BravesFanScout - April 24, 2010
Way to run it out
jason did not hit into the double play
UltimaParadox - April 24, 2010
Grounder to third – beats out the double play attempt.
carpengui - April 24, 2010
This fool ump.
Those first 2 strikes were NOT.
And lookey what actually running to 1st base can get you.
NCChopper - April 24, 2010
looking at gameday
all three of those were strike-pitches =(
BMacAttack - April 24, 2010
This camera angle sucks then.
NCChopper - April 24, 2010
Heck it looks like 2008. We lose and we’re lime in last place.
HereComesBream - April 24, 2010
lime?
schlagdawg - April 24, 2010
This team
is so much better than the 2008 team that it’s not even funny.
Jacob Peterson - April 24, 2010
Yes.
Maybe someone should tell them that, though.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 24, 2010
what the hell are you talking about now?
Scott Coleman - April 24, 2010
Lime??
I DIDNT TYPE THAT
HereComesBream - April 24, 2010
maybe escobar can learn from Heyward
Kobe:The Legend - April 24, 2010
Heck...
The whole team could learn something from Heyward.
Heyward can do ANYTHING!
maybe he can magically heal Chipper’s injury!
HereComesBream - April 24, 2010
Come on guys.
Sometimes I feel like the braves don’t even care about winning and they’re just playing…
HereComesBream - April 24, 2010
Wow
You are ignorant.
Jacob Peterson - April 24, 2010
Heap on deck if Ross can extend – and h WALKS.
Two on.
carpengui - April 24, 2010
well if we don't get anything going this inning. Maybe we can put somethign together next inning
K-Rod looked real shaky last night. Let’s hope for more of the same.
BravesFanScout - April 24, 2010
BMac to face a lefty. Hmmm…
Scott Coleman - April 24, 2010
would you prefer Conrad?
Smoltz's Beard - April 24, 2010
Yeah
no good options there at all.
Jacob Peterson - April 24, 2010
oh yeah
I was thinking Infante was on the bench. fail
Scott Coleman - April 24, 2010
infante
Kobe:The Legend - April 24, 2010
its hard to pinch hit when you are already in the game
bpk228480 - April 24, 2010
You remember he started the game, right?
Smoltz's Beard - April 24, 2010
whoops didn't know he was in the game
Kobe:The Legend - April 24, 2010
BMac in to pinch hit with 2 on and 2 outs!
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 24, 2010
mccann??? really?
atl192485 - April 24, 2010
Come on Heap - make us scream!
NCChopper - April 24, 2010
soft liner to SS
inning over
UltimaParadox - April 24, 2010
FUCK YOU REYES!
I HATE REYES! I HATE HIM! I HATE HIM!
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 24, 2010
he didn’t need to dive….asshole
bpk228480 - April 24, 2010
this
UltimaParadox - April 24, 2010
Did he get up and first pump his chest again too?
NCChopper - April 24, 2010
I wouldn’t be surprised if he did.
TonyAlmeyda - April 24, 2010
Ooooohhhhh – Reyes robs us.
carpengui - April 24, 2010
Come on mac.
HereComesBream - April 24, 2010
K
Jay212033 - April 24, 2010
Damn! that ball wasn't hit as hard as i thought it was at first
BravesFanScout - April 24, 2010
fuck
TheBravestWay To Block A Decent Prospect - April 24, 2010
this is not funny anymore
atl192485 - April 24, 2010
Was it funny at some point?
Jacob Peterson - April 24, 2010
Too true.
Smoltz's Beard - April 24, 2010
How is us losing funny?
HereComesBream - April 24, 2010
that ball was way outside =/
BMacAttack - April 24, 2010
this is BS
Kobe:The Legend - April 24, 2010
Mac trying to hit like Philly right there.
10-4 - April 24, 2010
CRAP.
Right now…we’re playing like it’s the 80s. Or 1990.
HereComesBream - April 24, 2010
Reyes with the "Play of the game"? WTH?
I swear, Joe/Chip sound more like Mets announcers at times.
I love ‘em and I realize we’re not giving them much to celebrate of late – but geez.
NCChopper - April 24, 2010
The PotG
should have been Escobar not tagging up
Jacob Peterson - April 24, 2010
It's just Chip...
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 24, 2010
BOTTOM EIGHTH
carpengui - April 24, 2010
Medlen really missed his target there…it should’ve been about 18 inches higher.
Scott Coleman - April 24, 2010
It’s not like WE made any great plays.
HereComesBream - April 24, 2010
wow I hate his mannerisms and pretty much everything he does at the plate
bpk228480 - April 24, 2010
dont worry
I hate Reyes too =)
UltimaParadox - April 24, 2010
It’s not like Escobar doesn’t do the same shit
Smoltz's Beard - April 24, 2010
too true
Jacob Peterson - April 24, 2010
lol and right now fucknuts is pissing me off too
bpk228480 - April 24, 2010
Ha, fair enough.
Smoltz's Beard - April 24, 2010
great pitch, medlen..
BMacAttack - April 24, 2010
NCChopper - April 24, 2010
SIT THE FUCK DOWN JOSE.
Scott Coleman - April 24, 2010
I hate Jose Reyes!!
HereComesBream - April 24, 2010
Meds Gets Reyes
carpengui - April 24, 2010
REYES DIDN'T GET ON BASE!?
INCONCEIVABLE!
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 24, 2010
Sweet defense.
Smoltz's Beard - April 24, 2010
lol
Scott Coleman - April 24, 2010
I feel like we could have our own section of Sportcenter’s “Not So Top 10”
10-4 - April 24, 2010
Ugly
Someone speak Spanish
UltimaParadox - April 24, 2010
I don't think either one
ever really saw the ball. Which sucks, obviously
Jacob Peterson - April 24, 2010
Sí se puede!
schlagdawg - April 24, 2010
Who needs someone who speaks Spanish....
When you’ve got google translate!
HereComesBream - April 24, 2010
i speak spanish
Kobe:The Legend - April 24, 2010
Good job Meds covering second
carpengui - April 24, 2010
Melky
You got to call for that
UltimaParadox - April 24, 2010
He may not have seen it well enough…. my guess anyway.
carpengui - April 24, 2010
either way
CF’ ball his responsiblity
UltimaParadox - April 24, 2010
Yeah
I don’t think either one knew where it was
Jacob Peterson - April 24, 2010
It showed Melky looking at Infante like he was waiting for him to catch it though.
Smoltz's Beard - April 24, 2010
NCChopper - April 24, 2010
That graphic really says it all...
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 24, 2010
Are you kidding?
First the offense doesn’t show up to play….ok….that’s fine. We expect that. But now, the defense isn’t showing up either! Do they WANT to lose?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 24, 2010
Why even ask this question?
If I were a Braves player, I’d be offended at the implication.
Jacob Peterson - April 24, 2010
If I were a Braves fan (and I am), I’d be offended at having to ask.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 24, 2010
Why do you have to ask?
Put yourself in their shoes. Come on. Do you think they like losing? Aren’t they clearly having a hard time right now? You’re being ridiculous
Jacob Peterson - April 24, 2010
It's called frustration...
Stop being so calm and rational all the time.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 24, 2010
I Don't Get It
bpk228480 - April 24, 2010
This team is really making it hard for me to keep faith in them.
TonyAlmeyda - April 24, 2010
Ditto.
HereComesBream - April 24, 2010
It helps
If you actually had faith to begin with
Jacob Peterson - April 24, 2010
Are you implying I never had any?
TonyAlmeyda - April 24, 2010
Not really
Just that it seems like a lot of people have been pessimistic from the beginning and never really gave these guys a chance.
Jacob Peterson - April 24, 2010
I thought
Defense does not go into slumps
UltimaParadox - April 24, 2010
Sure it does: e.g: Escobar.
carpengui - April 24, 2010
Yeah that's
a huge fallacy
Jacob Peterson - April 24, 2010
Fisted
UltimaParadox - April 24, 2010
I think we need David Eckstein
bpk228480 - April 24, 2010
“fists”
10-4 - April 24, 2010
Infante
nice play Vidro
UltimaParadox - April 24, 2010
carpengui - April 24, 2010
I like this
UltimaParadox - April 24, 2010
Yay...no more runs for Mets. Time to kill K-Rod!?
Assuming he comes in…
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 24, 2010
We needed that! Finally defense helps the pitcher.
NCChopper - April 24, 2010
DP!
BMacAttack - April 24, 2010
Not even a slick vidro can make me happy. Sigh…
Smoltz's Beard - April 24, 2010
someone explain to me...
…why Bobby would put melky & matt aka mush & muck in the middle of our lineup?
ledge2 - April 24, 2010
Did you sign up just to complain?
Smoltz's Beard - April 24, 2010
I still believe we can win this thing!
K-rod was tired last night. We will kill him.
Jacob Peterson - April 24, 2010
TOP OF THE ORDER... RALLY TIME
carpengui - April 24, 2010
Sometimes you feel like a but....
NCChopper - April 24, 2010
Ugh,
butNut.NCChopper - April 24, 2010
Can I blame it on my nails?
NCChopper - April 24, 2010
sure
schlagdawg - April 24, 2010
Sure
TheBravestWay To Block A Decent Prospect - April 24, 2010
bay didnt try to reach the base…isnt that a rule where he should be automatically out at first?
bpk228480 - April 24, 2010
I hear witty k-rod jokes are good luck...
BMacAttack - April 24, 2010
BMacAttack.. HereComesBream keeps saying negative shit, you should get on to him.
BravesFanScout - April 24, 2010
Mad that someone called you out on the intertubes?
DogDaysofSummer - April 24, 2010
Someone is angwy
Skyagusta - April 24, 2010
thought about it.. but I didn’t have 9 innings of it from him in my ear.
BMacAttack - April 24, 2010
I try to be positive. But sometimes there’s nothing to be positive about. Everyone else is being negative, too.
HereComesBream - April 24, 2010 via mobile
Byee people. This obviously can’t get any worse.i
HereComesBream - April 24, 2010

"Get Otis Nixon back."
LOL
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 24, 2010
Why couldn't Reyes have dropped that?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 24, 2010
pretty sure all 4 of those were up…but who knows
bpk228480 - April 24, 2010
I’m thinking the same thing.
Smoltz's Beard - April 24, 2010
No problem - we've scored runs with 1 out before...
NCChopper - April 24, 2010
Ouch – statistic:
7 runners left at 2nd or 3rd base so far today.
NCChopper - April 24, 2010
Braves offense averaging 8 LOBs and 8 Ks per game....
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 24, 2010
Escobar needs a triple....
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 24, 2010
nah
Smoltz's Beard - April 24, 2010
He would’ve gotten lost on the way there.
TonyAlmeyda - April 24, 2010
Why couldn't Bay have collided with Reyes there?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 24, 2010
Escobar
2-2 count. Fastball fouled straight back.
Curve…. Reyes gets it and avoids Bay.
2 out.
carpengui - April 24, 2010
Really wanted a collision there...
TheBravestWay To Block A Decent Prospect - April 24, 2010
Our entire organization sucks
In the early going.
Jay212033 - April 24, 2010
Yes I really disagree with Wren’s moves these first two weeks of the season
Skyagusta - April 24, 2010
Reyes with the last 3 putouts for us… can we please hit it to someone else.
NCChopper - April 24, 2010
Guess not.
NCChopper - April 24, 2010
Keep it alive Prado
schlagdawg - April 24, 2010
Game over :(
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 24, 2010
END GAME.
carpengui - April 24, 2010
1 fucking run of niese and crew
bpk228480 - April 24, 2010
off
bpk228480 - April 24, 2010
shit
Kobe:The Legend - April 24, 2010
What a trainwreck
sexbobomb - April 24, 2010
Manny Acosta is the winning pitcher.
I’m going kill myself now.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 24, 2010
Kill me too.

shitty game

Smoltz's Beard - April 24, 2010
EMBARRASSING
TonyAlmeyda - April 24, 2010
need some inspired baseball tomorrow.
BMacAttack - April 24, 2010
There IS no positive spin on this unless it's JJ's performance.
Which was wasted yet again.
Sooner or later we’re not going to be able to say… “it’s only April” anymore.
Maybe tomorrow they’ll play better and keep us from being swept by the Mutts.
NCChopper - April 24, 2010
I really hope we can stop wasting these pitching performances. That worries me more than anyone’s hitting slumps.
schlagdawg - April 24, 2010
only 2 problems with the Braves
so far this year: Offense and Defense. Other than that, we’re awesome.
Fatvirus - April 24, 2010
Well that makes sense.
HereComesBream - April 24, 2010 via mobile
we're in last place in the nl east
bravesfan203 - April 24, 2010
Are we allowed to worry yet?
This team has massive problems right now. This offense is a joke.
letsgobravos - April 24, 2010
I don’t think it’s to that point yet, but this team definitely needs to turn it around PRONTO.
TonyAlmeyda - April 24, 2010
we are in last place in the division, never thought of that
Kobe:The Legend - April 24, 2010
Behind the nationals…
So much for winning one for Bobby. Spring training was good. We were in first place a few times during spring, believe it or not.
This is just sad. I wonder what we’ll be like when Bobby leaves…
HereComesBream - April 24, 2010 via mobile
A good series of games can potentially put the Braves back in second place (or even first) in a week. Yes, the team sucks right now, but moaning like “Oh we’re in last place we’ll never get out of this hole we’re doomed!!!11” doesn’t help anything. Everyone is still within three games of each other, so as long as the Braves are within striking distance, there really shouldn’t be any complaining.
TonyAlmeyda - April 24, 2010
+1000
I was thinking the same thing….the 3 game difference between 1st and 5th place in the NL East….but I was still too disparaged from watching today’s game to write it up. Thanks for posting that.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - April 24, 2010
Well...
As bad as I feel, looking at my fantasy squad I saw this line from my 1B so far this season:
.117 AVG. .524 OPS, 2 HR, 7 RBI, 7 Hits in 60 AB’s
That’s Mark Texeira. I as well as everybody is sure about one thing, and that’s that Tex will turn it around. But still, I’m going to keep “hoping” that this dude:
.167 AVG. 515 OPS, 2 HR, 9 RBI, 9 Hits in 54 AB’S
Turns it around too. Not at Tex level, but at least to a “decent” level. And that’s Mr. Troy Glaus.
