really? 4 – 0 lead…. EOF and Wags had plenty of lead to work with too

Yes really.

Scott Coleman - May 19, 2010 via mobile reply

so our bullpen isn’t capable of keeping a two run lead?

its the fact that

saito is 40 years old and fragile. why pitch him on his 3rd straight day with a 4 run lead?

fragile? he’s a professional baseball player.. 3 innings on 3 separate days? come off it…

No, he seriously should not have been pitched tonight. He’s 40 years old and has a history of injuries. He’s not used to pitching that many games in a row.

whatever, i’m much more concerned with the inconsistent strike zone the past two innings. i think it’s ridiculous when a coach gets 100% of the blame for the players…

I blame Bobby for Saito. I blame Wagner for Wagner.

wager struck him out two pitches before he HR’d

That may be true, but it’s still his responsibility to not hang a fat pitch over the plate, even if it is strike 5.

ok

i understand you. i really do. the point of the matter is that in the 8th inning. heck in the 7th inning bobby could have used other pitchers at that time. the better thing would have been to use Chavez, Kimbrel, or Venters. Then the 8th use Moylan or EoF.

We had a 4 run lead there was no reason to use our 8th inning set up man who we signed knowing that he wouldn’t be able to be used on 3 consecutive days to often especially when he has pitched so much this month.

so our bullpen isn’t capable of keeping a ~~two~~ four run lead?

FTFY

calculating after saito

Saito is part of the bullpen….

the run

that EoF gave up was Saito’s.

Yep.

3 runs charged to Saito, 1 to Wagner

y’all are missing the point, but okay

we understand your point, we just all disagree with you. we should leave it at that.

to the death!

Kid Presentable kills me

Best line of that episode...

Man #2: Drederick, ah, what do you think of Homer Simpson?
Tatum: I think he’s a good man. I like him. I got nothing against
him, but I’m definately gonna make orphans of his children.
Man #3: Uh, you know, they do have a mother, Champ.
Tatum: Yes, but I would imagine that she would die of grief.

I love it when Homer comes out to “Why Can’t We Be Friends?” by War at the fight.

Indeed I do too

That guy’s got the energy of a hobo. He only stops punching to check on his bindle.

Nudge him

i know that, but we still had a 2 run lead

Sorry it took me so long to get this second one up… I got a phone call and got distracted.

Crap, I accidentally shot a dude while trying to break up a fight. Stupid auto-aim!

Made me have to reload main page to get to this again.....

I've got a bad feeling about this...

Wow, poor KK will never win it seems.

If the Braves lose, I am going to set myself on fire.

Let my death be on your conscience, Bobby.

already up in the pen

Kimbrel, Kimbrel, Kimbrel!!!

Well this has been an interesting game.

KK WORST PITCHER EVER HE DOESNT KNOW HOW TO WIN

better take some pointers

from DLowe

He should’ve allowed negative runs tonight…..that loser.

2 outs....

that was sick…

Wags Ks Rolen

Jay Bruce up

YES

Even if we can pull off the W, I will still be sick to my stomach. KK deserves better.

We hate Kawakami

RufRider - May 19, 2010 reply

i hope KK doesnt have a wins incentive in his contract

There’s a clause in his contract that says if he ends the season with 0 wins, he doesn’t get paid. The entire team is involved in a conspiracy against him to help save money.

so we can afford Werth!?

love it

so

tomorrow when we are in a game that 2-1 because its a pitching duel. What relievers will get used?

none

cg sh for th

well apparently they’re all fragile, right?

bitch kulpa

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkked anyway

Seems like the Braves have been getting squeezed an awful lot this year.

most nL games i watch seem to have small strike zones

even compared to last year

whew...

probably Kulpa will fistbump with the catcher

Nate, PN, Prado?

PN = PH

Pinch Nard-buster

double switch and its melky after nate i think

Melky is in the 6 spot.

didnt they double switch though? bring melky in for the pitchers spot and the pitcher taking hinskes spot so they wouldnt have to burn another bench player for at least 2 maybe three innings?

I guess I was wrong.

it only made sense

Free baseball, geez

Well… I suppose we should go and get Vulture 2.0 another W?

STFD

LETS GET SOME RUNS FUCK LETS DO IT I'M PUMPED UP LETS GET TO .500 COME ON COME ON

Nate w a walkoff

could use another one

Chances

Melky hits another “game winner” less than 5%?

i've said it before but,

anytime you can give up your 1st round pick for the right to sign a 39 year old closer, you have to do it.

WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU HERE. WHERE WERE YOU WHEN IT WAS 4-0? DON’T YOU HAVE AN OVEN TO STICK YOUR HEAD IN?

+1

you think it was a good idea?

You’re a goddamned moron.

Heyward 2 hits tonight? Or did he get a single somewhere?

double and a triple

He needs a single here so he can homer to win the game in a couple innings.

Melk groundsout to first

more suckage as always

Melky is going to hit the walkoff HR

trick

Fail.

epic

Enough of the walkoffs though. Sheesh.

hey man

you get your moneys worth

Haha, seriously. A comfortable win would be nice.

comfortable wins

Did you not know the Braves are sponsored by Jack Daniels

They should air Braves games on TNT....

FitzFan - May 19, 2010 reply

it was a walkoff HR!???!!

double

No.

Double….scored Prado from 1st.

Double – probably a single in the official scoring. Dented the RF wall.

WALKOFFS

McLouth
Heyward
Prado
Melky

needs more POWAH

Well if it weren’t for POWAH, Nate certainly wouldn’t have his. And if it weren’t for POWAH’s blazing speed, J-Hey wouldn’t have had his first

This is definitely true.

Melky's walkoff doesnt count

Davd Wright

chipper too

walk off homer

willlinn - May 19, 2010 reply

when did that happen?

i thought it was the 8th inning

Yeah it was a go-ahead homer, not walkoff

Hey, so lost in all the hype is the fact that right now, we’re back to .500!

WOOHOO MEDIOCRITY!!!

BRAVES COUNTRY BABY

I’ve gotta say. It’s pretty impressive to be at .500 with a 9 game losing streak in the books

Oh no doubt.

Just having a spot of fun for my own amusement.

I understand :)

Those things are gonna kill someone soon.

He had blister issues, you could tell he wasn’t comfortable in the sixth

Southern IN Chopper - May 19, 2010 reply

OK

If that’s the case, I appreciate the info and am glad Bobby played it safe, but use O’F or Kimbrel in the 7th and Moylan in the 8th then. Saito needed a night off.
