Grandpa's first homer from the LHB, and Yunel Escobar coming through with some RBI followed by some lol-worthy base running . . . Braves up 6-0 on the Phils going into the bottom of the 5th. First place is up for grabs.
You tried “hot-linking” an image from a website that has automatic replacement images for those who try it. Believe me, you got off easy, because I’ve seen some pretty messed up anti-HL images.
Moving this over from the other thread, since this one opened as I was posting it.
ChopTalk Magazine / Stories about the players as kids.. this was Chipper’s contribution:
"I was 8 yrs old and jsut hit a double and was standing on 2nd base and I had to go…I mean really, really, bad," Jones said. "I just peed right there on 2nd base. I couldn’t help it. I let loose. What are you going to do? It was a nightmare, and I just had to get it over with. I kept leading off innings and getting hits, or we kept having to go out to the field, and I just could not run to the nearest tree." Jones said he got laughed at "forever." His dad told Chipper he should have called timeout.
I think it says a lot about him not being so full of himself that he wouldn’t mind sharing such a story. You know the guys have give him HELL over this.
Hanson can hit…Prado knows that he has to perfom and even with a hit in the game already he knows he has to do better…Escobar is once again, the batter that will contribute for the Braves to have a shot to the PLAYOFFS!
Since KK has been pitching pretty darn well, and this guy was just being sarcastic about racism. There are no racist fans here, even though that’s the stereotype about Braves fans.
There’s always a risk when you’re going upwards of 110 pitches, and it’s higher in younger pitchers who haven’t stretched out their arms as much. I’m not saying it’s a direct result, but it would create a risk.
when did 100 pitches become some magical number? As often as Niekro and Spahn and so many others took the hill, his arm ain’t gonna fall off if he throws pitch #121.
And seriously, we just had a post on this site TODAY about how awesome the bullpen has been. And look, what’s happened? We still have a three run lead despite a worst-case scenario!
I’m completely fine with 107. You’re the one who wanted him to get “one more out” which might have taken 6-7 pitches. Moylan threw 6 pitches and failed to retire the next hitter. There’s no guarantee that Hanson would have done any better.
Listen, last year was the first time he’s ever thrown 150 + innings in a season. We stretched him out to 194 last year. I don’t want to put any more strain on his arm than there already is. I’d rather pull him early and let him get a little more rest in a game like this (even if it’s just a little bit) so we can have him prime shape come playoffs. We’re going to ask him for 200 innings anyway, and we want to be playoff team.
I’m concerned about the player, not 3 runs in a single game that WE’RE WINNING, despite it all. Plus, you seem to think it’s guaranteed that Hanson would have retired the next batter, and he wasn’t. Ruiz had a fairly lucky shot off of Moylan, landing the ball just inside the line. Hanson is not immune to luck, and he didn’t even have his best stuff today. Our bullpen has been generally AWESOME this year, so there was no reason for anyone who’s not second-guessing to assume that we’d give up runs by pulling out our starter at that point.
“you seem to think it’s guaranteed that Hanson would have retired the next batter, and he wasn’t.”
The only thing I seem to think is guaranteed is that 5-10 more pitches in a single game are automatically going to destroy his arm. That’s it and that is all.
When you’re close to a crucial mark, I think it’s important to limit wear and tear. That’s a high number. Look, those 3 runs are completely irrelevant. The 5-10 pitches might not have been. “might” is too strong a word for me.
Seriously, when did 100 become some magical number for pitchers...
98, you’re fine. 112, you’re arm is gonna fall off. It’s a grand total of 14 pitches. If they were average numbers maybe, but in a single game people are getting a bit overboard imo.
AND A BLAST DEEP TO RIGHT CENTER FIELD. AND ITS GONE AND 3 RUN BLAST! GLAUS IS BATTING LIKE A NEW MAN THESE PAST 1.5 MONTHS! HERES PRADO WITH A DEEP SHOT WILL IT BE ENOUGHT…NOOOO BUT A DOUBLE.
I see someone went to the Chip Caray School of Broadcasting…actually, I guess that was me since we both graduated from Grady at UGA. I guess I learned not to yell about everything.
oh shit, that's Wagner jumping the bullpen wall! what is he doing!? he is running to the Braves dugout, he seems mad, LOOK OUT GLAUS!! POOF! both dissappear
If the ball didn’t ricochet off of something with the integrity of Mother Gaia, then it would continue to accelerate and proceed to spin the earth off its axis.
Fast forward to May 31 2030. Braves pregame show
“this day in Braves history. The braves beat the phillies 9-3 to take over 1st place in the NL east and go on to win the division.”
I have to go – see you on the game recap. Let’s try to convince the authors to make a seperate celebration thread that we can spam up with crazy graphics and internet chopping (aka iChop)

they will run all over us…and their pitching is ridiculous

Hmmm
There’s one team on a pace to win 108 games. I’m scared of THAT one.
Bronn - May 31, 2010
we need to tell the Rays
to leave Crawford behind and they can take Melky with them
UltimaParadox - May 31, 2010
It would be funny if the Rays won 116 games
And then got bounced in the ALDS
royhobbs - May 31, 2010
Like the Mariners?
Mr. Sanchez - May 31, 2010
Precisely
Too bad the Yankees are in the same division, so they can’t do it until the ALCS

I don't think KK can pitch for this team anymore either
but what does this have to do with race?
southman - May 31, 2010
It was just a coincidence he pointed out relax man
bpk228480 - May 31, 2010
Well, turns out that you're kind of the douche
Since KK has been pitching pretty darn well, and this guy was just being sarcastic about racism. There are no racist fans here, even though that’s the stereotype about Braves fans.
Bronn - May 31, 2010
Well
we do get confused between Rickie Weeks/Lastings Milledge/Andrew McCutcheon
bpk228480 - May 31, 2010
But it's so hard to tell
I mean, they’re black guys with dreadlocks! How can we tell them apart?! /racism.

Love seeing Tommy and Huddy in the dugout.
You just KNOW he’s bragging about those 2 hits today.

170 pitches

atl192485 - May 31, 2010
107 je crois
!Vive la Francoeur! - May 31, 2010
OH MOYLAN….
run charged to tommy. Tommy is angry
MBL1 - May 31, 2010
Peter pitched a good pitch, it hit right ON the dang chalk.
NCChopper - May 31, 2010
this.
phillies got lucky.
atl192485 - May 31, 2010
And again. This time on the left.
This makes up for ANY questionable calls at the plate of hitting or not hitting batters.
Shut UP now ESPN
NCChopper - May 31, 2010
that's why you leave tommy on there...
SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010
So he can get up to 115 pitches?
Thanks Dusty!!
Bronn - May 31, 2010
and not give up 2 runs just like that
SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010
Kerry Wood
“Damn straight!”
Bronn - May 31, 2010
3...
SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010
I don't think preventing the allowance of 3 runs
With a 6 run lead is worth risking blowing out a young star’s arm. I will not be convinced otherwise.
Bronn - May 31, 2010
And you can't convince me letting him finish the inning would result
in blowing out his arm. It’s not 180 pitches. It’s not back to back to back 100-120+ outings. It’s one damn game.
Mr. Sanchez - May 31, 2010
There’s always a risk when you’re going upwards of 110 pitches, and it’s higher in younger pitchers who haven’t stretched out their arms as much. I’m not saying it’s a direct result, but it would create a risk.
Bronn - May 31, 2010
Prove it...
when did 100 pitches become some magical number? As often as Niekro and Spahn and so many others took the hill, his arm ain’t gonna fall off if he throws pitch #121.
Mr. Sanchez - May 31, 2010
There's been a lot of research done on pitcher abuse at Baseball Prospectus
Between 110 and 120 pitches is a significant cutoff point in future effectiveness. Hanson was close to that point already.
Bronn - May 31, 2010
routinely or in a single game sample?
Mr. Sanchez - May 31, 2010
Single games.
Bronn - May 31, 2010
the article calls it an assumption...
and relies on fatigue. I can agree on the overall idea, but not the specific number, especially considering differing rates of fatigue.
Mr. Sanchez - May 31, 2010
it also implies stamina plays a big factor...
so pitch 110 for Hanson would be different from say David Wells or some other fat guy
Mr. Sanchez - May 31, 2010
It also implies age is a huge factor.
And seriously, we just had a post on this site TODAY about how awesome the bullpen has been. And look, what’s happened? We still have a three run lead despite a worst-case scenario!
Bronn - May 31, 2010
It also says...
really high pitch counts (120 and up) compared to a 105 or 110-pitch outing.
Really high starts at 120, not 107
Mr. Sanchez - May 31, 2010
I’m completely fine with 107. You’re the one who wanted him to get “one more out” which might have taken 6-7 pitches. Moylan threw 6 pitches and failed to retire the next hitter. There’s no guarantee that Hanson would have done any better.
Bronn - May 31, 2010
It's not like he could have done much worse...
and the age thing doesn’t include Tommy, he’s not a kid anymore.
Mr. Sanchez - May 31, 2010
Listen, last year was the first time he’s ever thrown 150 + innings in a season. We stretched him out to 194 last year. I don’t want to put any more strain on his arm than there already is. I’d rather pull him early and let him get a little more rest in a game like this (even if it’s just a little bit) so we can have him prime shape come playoffs. We’re going to ask him for 200 innings anyway, and we want to be playoff team.
I’m concerned about the player, not 3 runs in a single game that WE’RE WINNING, despite it all. Plus, you seem to think it’s guaranteed that Hanson would have retired the next batter, and he wasn’t. Ruiz had a fairly lucky shot off of Moylan, landing the ball just inside the line. Hanson is not immune to luck, and he didn’t even have his best stuff today. Our bullpen has been generally AWESOME this year, so there was no reason for anyone who’s not second-guessing to assume that we’d give up runs by pulling out our starter at that point.
Bronn - May 31, 2010
This is incorrect...
“you seem to think it’s guaranteed that Hanson would have retired the next batter, and he wasn’t.”
The only thing I seem to think is guaranteed is that 5-10 more pitches in a single game are automatically going to destroy his arm. That’s it and that is all.
Mr. Sanchez - May 31, 2010
When you’re close to a crucial mark, I think it’s important to limit wear and tear. That’s a high number. Look, those 3 runs are completely irrelevant. The 5-10 pitches might not have been. “might” is too strong a word for me.
Bronn - May 31, 2010
What is he a fucking baby?...
You don’t want him going that far every time, but once in a while it ain’t that bad. I mean the guy does throw for a living, I think he can handle it.
Mr. Sanchez - May 31, 2010
He's a young man with a long career ahead of him.
And it’s a very, very humid day in Atlanta.
Bronn - May 31, 2010
And he'll probably get to do that again...
it’s always a very very humid day in Atlanta. That’s kind of Atlanta weather.
Mr. Sanchez - May 31, 2010
And I hope
That he doesn’t throw 115 pitches in a day game at all this year. Thanks
Bronn - May 31, 2010

Mr. Sanchez - May 31, 2010
This. Or have Wagner pitch the 8th and Saito the 9th
BigG1392 - May 31, 2010
why not vice-versa
Kobe:The Legend - May 31, 2010
Utley and Howard due up
bpk228480 - May 31, 2010
Or just get the runs back and not worry about using Saito/Wagner. Martinez time!
KLB - May 31, 2010
Finally...
..now we need to score a few to make up for this mess we just made.
bashby20sh - May 31, 2010 via mobile
hallelujah!
Kobe:The Legend - May 31, 2010
thank God !
jwhezytitansfan - May 31, 2010
Are we doing Saito in the 8th? I wouldn’t.
TradeAndruw - May 31, 2010
either more venters or EOF
chase and howard due up
atl192485 - May 31, 2010
i hope i don't see moylan again this series vs. phils
atl192485 - May 31, 2010
Hanson: "Thanks Bobby"
HEYJUDE - May 31, 2010
Hasnt Saito and Wags both worked the last two games?
dhumpkm - May 31, 2010
You want Chavez?
TradeAndruw - May 31, 2010
I didnt say that i was asking a question to which i did not know the answer
dhumpkm - May 31, 2010
NO!
HEYJUDE - May 31, 2010
if he can get outs, yeah
Mr. Sanchez - May 31, 2010
Big “if”
TradeAndruw - May 31, 2010
that's true of about every reliever every day
see Moylan
Mr. Sanchez - May 31, 2010
Not the time to go phew yet gents...
we still need to get those 3 runs back! Go Braves and Prado!
adriangg - May 31, 2010
MORE RUNS - MORE RUNS - MORE RUNS - MORE RUNS
NCChopper - May 31, 2010
Venters is a band aid
GoBravesNY - May 31, 2010
Seriously, when did 100 become some magical number for pitchers...
98, you’re fine. 112, you’re arm is gonna fall off. It’s a grand total of 14 pitches. If they were average numbers maybe, but in a single game people are getting a bit overboard imo.
Mr. Sanchez - May 31, 2010
Hanson had plenty of rest, with his last crap start
TradeAndruw - May 31, 2010
so between the two, he'd average maybe 80, at most? ...
but oh no, we’ll ruin him if he gets 10-15 more pitches!
Mr. Sanchez - May 31, 2010
Yeah agreed.
IMO 100 is the max a pitcher should throw.
adriangg - May 31, 2010
if you are in high school yes
bpk228480 - May 31, 2010
Why?
please explain what’s so special about pitch 100 or 103 vs. pitch 98?
Mr. Sanchez - May 31, 2010
read up. This is at least something
GoBravesNY - May 31, 2010
thanks, I'm reading
Mr. Sanchez - May 31, 2010
This!
HEYJUDE - May 31, 2010
Wagner: "Thanks Moylan, now i can get a save!! :D
MBL1 - May 31, 2010

UltimaParadox - May 31, 2010

HEYJUDE - May 31, 2010
I need to get in shape...
Bronn - May 31, 2010
I don't want to get tasered!
Kobe:The Legend - May 31, 2010
I’m already signed up for a 10 miler that day but I’d consider blowing it off to do this.

Chipper - Infante PR for him now.
NCChopper - May 31, 2010
Infante in for Chip

UltimaParadox - May 31, 2010

McClouth?
Fonce - May 31, 2010
Haha
HEYJUDE - May 31, 2010
Chip Carey
thats who we’ve been talking about all along
SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010
lol
HEYJUDE - May 31, 2010
Chip still does...for now...
adriangg - May 31, 2010
lets do it BMac
SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010
crap…we better not go into extras
bpk228480 - May 31, 2010
calm down.... we are UP BY THREE
atl192485 - May 31, 2010
I prepare for the worst
bpk228480 - May 31, 2010
Infante pinch-running for Chip.. not sure if I’m okay with this
BigG1392 - May 31, 2010
speed kills
although infante isn’t the speediest guy
SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010
also for a defensive replacement I guess
Kobe:The Legend - May 31, 2010
chipper’s hitting .250

MarvelGoose - May 31, 2010
HeyJude - I just now sent you an email. If you see a GMAIL sender you don't know, it's likely me.
NCChopper - May 31, 2010
I am still waiting for a reply too
UltimaParadox - May 31, 2010
My hubby has a tight spam filter on here.
No Gmail, Hotmail, yahoo. They go to my spam folder. Will look for them after the game.
HEYJUDE - May 31, 2010
wow
GoBravesNY - May 31, 2010
Yeah
I know:(
HEYJUDE - May 31, 2010
mine is from Gmail too
ugh
UltimaParadox - May 31, 2010
Sorry
I will check for it!
HEYJUDE - May 31, 2010
That’s why I wanted to give you a head’s up. I miss e-mails sometimes because of that too.
NCChopper - May 31, 2010
I found several in there a few weeks back
from some peeps, I was embarrassed. I quickly replied.
HEYJUDE - May 31, 2010
okay
I was just on the phone for the last few innings, but this is exactly why I can never relax when the opponent is the Phillies.
royhobbs - May 31, 2010
few innings? You are male right?
GoBravesNY - May 31, 2010
I told ya!
Mr. Sanchez - May 31, 2010
he gets out of breath while talking….400 lbs do that to you
bpk228480 - May 31, 2010
Mr. Sanchez would disagree
But yes I am. A combination of women and trying to coordinate flights for family members tends to take a little bit of effort.
royhobbs - May 31, 2010
Ugh
sounds like fun
Mr. Sanchez - May 31, 2010
Boatloads
royhobbs - May 31, 2010
well, at least you can enjoy a nice last couple innings
Mr. Sanchez - May 31, 2010
Baseball is more important than ordering pizza.
MBL1 - May 31, 2010
But i was really really hungry
royhobbs - May 31, 2010
TOO BAD
MBL1 - May 31, 2010
NCChop is making steaks
Mr. Sanchez - May 31, 2010
They’re about ready to come out of the marinade. It finally stopped raining.
NCChopper - May 31, 2010
If the old stigma of “whatever hits Georgia hits the Carolinas” then you’ll be due for some sunny clouds . . . kind of what like is on television now
royhobbs - May 31, 2010
You might be making my wife run to Fresh Market here in a second
don’t make her angry, I won’t like her when she’s angry (although it is kinda cute)
Mr. Sanchez - May 31, 2010
I have 2 beautiful Ribeyes … can’t wait to enjoy them a bit later.
NCChopper - May 31, 2010
hard cut there by bmac
SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010
We gotta win now Nats and Fish look set for wins
SuperHeyward - May 31, 2010
well that just great ]:(
southman - May 31, 2010
that too but mainly cause we're playing Phillie
adriangg - May 31, 2010
well that goes without saying haha
SuperHeyward - May 31, 2010
come on mac
Mr. Sanchez - May 31, 2010
mac is staying alive...
SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010
how many fouls will he hit?
southman - May 31, 2010
5 and counting
UltimaParadox - May 31, 2010
BMaaaac
MBL1 - May 31, 2010

skymuse - May 31, 2010

Fonce - May 31, 2010
durbins got a nice cutter….glaus should look to go the other way here
bpk228480 - May 31, 2010

bpk228480 - May 31, 2010

bpk228480 - May 31, 2010
maybe
SuperHeyward - May 31, 2010
1......2.....3....
MAYBIN NOT!!!!
GoBravesNY - May 31, 2010
*regretting that we took Hinske out for Blanco at this point with him on Deck
SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010
why?
if hinske were still in the game and we were up to plate, phillies would pitch a lefty against him. hinske doesn’t hit lefties very well.
atl192485 - May 31, 2010
well Blanco's defense hasn't been dazzling...
and I just trust Hinske a bit more…
SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010
IN MY FACE
SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010
Hey NCChopper
Steaks ready yet? Me hungry
MBL1 - May 31, 2010
They’re marinating. Finally stopped raining. We’ll definitely be able to cook out now.
NCChopper - May 31, 2010
YAY!
any sides?
MBL1 - May 31, 2010
Gonna slice some potatoes real thick, season them with cayenne and italian seasonings and grill them too.
NCChopper - May 31, 2010
I prefer to fork them up, and wrap them in foil with peppers, onions, carrots, and butter, and throw them on the grill like little saunas.
royhobbs - May 31, 2010
That sounds great too. Makes note.
NCChopper - May 31, 2010
Best part is that eventually the butter leaks out and sets the coals in an angry blaze from time to time and it smells phenomenal
royhobbs - May 31, 2010
I may have just changed my plans. :-)
NCChopper - May 31, 2010
FYI
I tend to throw them on before the steaks, depending on how hot you grill, it tends to take almost as long as the steaks for me.
royhobbs - May 31, 2010
Thanks. Will make sure and allow for that extra time.
NCChopper - May 31, 2010
iChop again
MBL1 - May 31, 2010

adriangg - May 31, 2010
If Chip can do it, so can you. Good luck.
Brave Rebel - May 31, 2010
thank you for your motivation. It just lifted me up :)
adriangg - May 31, 2010
I see someone went to the Chip Caray School of Broadcasting…actually, I guess that was me since we both graduated from Grady at UGA. I guess I learned not to yell about everything.
BullManUGA - May 31, 2010

so we are missing out on the Glausosaur and Santa Glaus picks

GoBravesNY - May 31, 2010
Billy Wagner is ANGRY
MBL1 - May 31, 2010
Wags rampaging around bullpen, trying to put out a hit on Glaus.
Fonce - May 31, 2010
He wasn't getting a chance today anyway
He’s pitched in 2 straight games and 3 out of 4.
Bronn - May 31, 2010
4 out of 5
dhumpkm - May 31, 2010
leave it to yunel and nate to end the inning
David Brooks - May 31, 2010
yunel has hit well today
blame nate
SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010
Bet you're the life of the party
royhobbs - May 31, 2010
Hahaha
HEYJUDE - May 31, 2010
nate fail...
although that was solid contact
SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010
man
just need to play all 3 OFs in the right field against Mclouth
UltimaParadox - May 31, 2010
Id seriously just shift everyone
bpk228480 - May 31, 2010
DaVanzo shift
C’mon, didn’t anyone see “Beer League” starring Artie Lange?
royhobbs - May 31, 2010
I would clone Heyward and have him as all of my outfielders.
Fonce - May 31, 2010
ha ha
southman - May 31, 2010
Amazing
The mythical three-run homer showed up for the Braves today
royhobbs - May 31, 2010
Honestly though when Diaz gets back I think we'll send Nate down if something doesn't change
SuperHeyward - May 31, 2010
Can't send him down, I don't think
Waivers and options and that whole deal.
Bronn - May 31, 2010
Then hes gone I’d say
SuperHeyward - May 31, 2010
So quick to judge...
Bronn - May 31, 2010
idea
send him to the padres???
atl192485 - May 31, 2010
Better idea: To the Phillies!
Fonce - May 31, 2010
phils wouldn't want him
atl192485 - May 31, 2010
the only problem is he plays the best CF of anyone we have
bpk228480 - May 31, 2010
oh shit, that's Wagner jumping the bullpen wall! what is he doing!? he is running to the Braves dugout, he seems mad, LOOK OUT GLAUS!! POOF! both dissappear
Kobe:The Legend - May 31, 2010
Wags with the phaser on Glaus?
Fonce - May 31, 2010
whos is gonna pitch in the 8th?
Braves Biceps - May 31, 2010
Venterzzzz
MBL1 - May 31, 2010
Venters to howard and utley...dunno after that
ronniemac03 - May 31, 2010
if he gets both
let him against Victorino
UltimaParadox - May 31, 2010
I really like this team
GO BRAVES!
Jtpdolphins2009 - May 31, 2010
I really Love this team.
HEYJUDE - May 31, 2010
i love HRs
by our team
SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010
you know
i’m really close to being ok with chavez pitching the 9th
atl192485 - May 31, 2010
I'm not
Remember two years ago when the Braves surrendered a 10-2 lead to the Phillies?
royhobbs - May 31, 2010
Joe already reminded us
SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010
it was only 10-3
bpk228480 - May 31, 2010
"only"
lol
royhobbs - May 31, 2010
lol
I was there
bpk228480 - May 31, 2010
Wasn’t that a Vazquez game?
BigG1392 - May 31, 2010
yeap
bpk228480 - May 31, 2010
I look back at that
And recall guys like Campillo and Boyer, and think wow
royhobbs - May 31, 2010
I still think Campillo could be a decent starter/swing man for somebody. But yeah, we had one hellish bullpen.
Bronn - May 31, 2010
Maybe
The constant rotator cuff injuries are concerning, but I’ll be the first to admit what a pleasant surprise he was in 2008’s abyss.
royhobbs - May 31, 2010
EOF/moylan/boyer/campillo combined for 9 runs in 1 inning
bpk228480 - May 31, 2010
I do :(
HEYJUDE - May 31, 2010
wasn't it last year?
and notice i said CLOSE to be ok
atl192485 - May 31, 2010
i'd let venters pitch as long as he can
SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010
6-run lead... sooo, NO
Kobe:The Legend - May 31, 2010
sit down Utley!
southman - May 31, 2010
Venters
.92 ERA…sick
SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010
Florida decide to score runs now that they’re not playing Philly
BigG1392 - May 31, 2010
florida decided to get baserunners now that they're not facing halladay
atl192485 - May 31, 2010
it probably helps that miluakee sucks
SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010
I love
how pitchers always point up for pop ups.
Brave Rebel - May 31, 2010
We need a graphic that looks like the iPod logo but says iChop instead.
MBL1 - May 31, 2010
Good idea
HEYJUDE - May 31, 2010
No
this is iChop
GoBravesNY - May 31, 2010
THIS!!!!
SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010
I LOVE IT!
atl192485 - May 31, 2010
That will work.
HEYJUDE - May 31, 2010

SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010

southman - May 31, 2010
Phillies don't have enough pitchers to burn
royhobbs - May 31, 2010
I’m sorry, but nobody can score an infinite amount of runzzzz
GoBravesNY - May 31, 2010
=P
if we had a 10 run lead would you let chavez in?
SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010
Only if he’s matched up against Manny I’ll Cost Ya
GoBravesNY - May 31, 2010
heyward
due up 3rd
atl192485 - May 31, 2010
no way he goes 0fer today
SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010
Melky time

UltimaParadox - May 31, 2010
4-1
GoBravesNY - May 31, 2010
5:1 out hit ratio
southman - May 31, 2010
By the way, forgot this

SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010

HEYJUDE - May 31, 2010

Is the mark to beat set by Greg Maddux day from last year. Think Tom Glavine night can surpass/equal?
royhobbs - May 31, 2010
brad lidge...

SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010
Lidge!
MBL1 - May 31, 2010
Lidge in
haha
UltimaParadox - May 31, 2010
Too bad Diaz is hurt
He legitimately owns Lidge
royhobbs - May 31, 2010
whoever he wants. FTFY
GoBravesNY - May 31, 2010
can’t believe we gave up 3 runs today
jaypatel - May 31, 2010
just be thankful that it wasn't 10 runs
southman - May 31, 2010
brad lidge

atl192485 - May 31, 2010
Forgot they had Lidge
ronniemac03 - May 31, 2010

bpk228480 - May 31, 2010
Melky

UltimaParadox - May 31, 2010
wow

SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010
teen marteen
dank7 - May 31, 2010
Melky=Ryan Langerhans
Brave Rebel - May 31, 2010
Langerhans
is much better defensively
UltimaParadox - May 31, 2010
take it back…melky has been hot
bpk228480 - May 31, 2010
Melky > Langerhans
…but barely
ronniemac03 - May 31, 2010
Langerhans is still underrated.
Bronn - May 31, 2010
I liked him
he always hustled and gave it his best.
HEYJUDE - May 31, 2010
Great defender
And he had some clutch hits.
Bronn - May 31, 2010
Marteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen
MBL1 - May 31, 2010

SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010

UltimaParadox - May 31, 2010
Shit
Jesse Chavez sighting
royhobbs - May 31, 2010
i'm getting nervous
SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010
/repeat above Bobby rant about failure in the bullpen.
Bronn - May 31, 2010
There's Jesse
…aka the victory cigar
ronniemac03 - May 31, 2010
I love that analogy
Human Victory Cigar… Darko Milicic, Jim Sorgi, and now Jesse Chavez
royhobbs - May 31, 2010
Chavez warming up?
Bronn - May 31, 2010
retribution time jason.......
get a hit plz
dank7 - May 31, 2010
9 runs and praydo and heyward are a combined 1-9 so far
bpk228480 - May 31, 2010
our two best batters
Kobe:The Legend - May 31, 2010
interesting
impressive and sad stat
dank7 - May 31, 2010
1-8 actually
atl192485 - May 31, 2010
wasnt that their fifth abs?
bpk228480 - May 31, 2010
my bad you and kobe are correct
atl192485 - May 31, 2010
actually 1-10
Kobe:The Legend - May 31, 2010
I hate it for the fans.
I know they wanted to see Heyward do something big!
HEYJUDE - May 31, 2010
Chavez sighting….:(
MBL1 - May 31, 2010
come on Heyward
deposit one in right field, we need more runs with Chavez coming in
UltimaParadox - May 31, 2010
I know its Greedy but Id love a Heyward Homer
SuperHeyward - May 31, 2010
LETS GO JHEY!
southman - May 31, 2010
plz go yard JHey
SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010
Heyward
laughs at that slider
UltimaParadox - May 31, 2010
oh come on, I say Chavez will do a 1-2-3 to finish the game
Kobe:The Legend - May 31, 2010
that'd be nice
SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010
booooooooooo
jboooo not jhey
dank7 - May 31, 2010
wow good play
by the SS
UltimaParadox - May 31, 2010
NOT!
southman - May 31, 2010
dead run
he got that ball on a short hop on the right side of 2b
UltimaParadox - May 31, 2010
I was joking
southman - May 31, 2010
JHEY!!! I STILL <3 U
MBL1 - May 31, 2010
Heyward went 0-5 today?
hides under bed
Bronn - May 31, 2010
Even
Hank Aaron had those days
MBL1 - May 31, 2010
not to mention Chipper
southman - May 31, 2010
fail
Hank Aaron once went 0-5 and was only assured when he found out Jason Heyward once went 0-5
GoBravesNY - May 31, 2010
heyward doesn't hit normal grounders
all his hits are choppers…why?
SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010
Courtesy
If the ball didn’t ricochet off of something with the integrity of Mother Gaia, then it would continue to accelerate and proceed to spin the earth off its axis.
royhobbs - May 31, 2010
hahaha
SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010
I was making ice-tea - and wanted to say - Venters looked Great!
More runs would have been nice there, but I think we may have this one handled.
NCChopper - May 31, 2010
/steals your tea
MBL1 - May 31, 2010
We do sweet tea in the South. If you want it unsweetened, you have to ask.
NCChopper - May 31, 2010
unsweetened tea is gross….and I’m from the north
bpk228480 - May 31, 2010
I drink all
Very little difference for me
royhobbs - May 31, 2010
Troy was the Player of the Game
NCChopper - May 31, 2010

SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010
oh sweet lord

TradeAndruw - May 31, 2010

southman - May 31, 2010
NOOOOOOO
MBL1 - May 31, 2010
Thinks someone should take Nate's name off the blackberry and put Heyward's up there
ronniemac03 - May 31, 2010
+22
MBL1 - May 31, 2010
Oh God, NO!
TradeAndruw - May 31, 2010

SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010
Agreed. 6 run lead, ring it up.
musicman - May 31, 2010
I think Chavez will do fine today.
NCChopper - May 31, 2010
eh
blew that by him
UltimaParadox - May 31, 2010
that wasn't a strike?
atl192485 - May 31, 2010
wth ump.

Jose Rodriguez - May 31, 2010
“Fox trax is wrong” Joe Simpson
bpk228480 - May 31, 2010

SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010

SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010

atl192485 - May 31, 2010
Storms rolling in.
musicman - May 31, 2010
Clouds
Cameras didn’t immediately adjust.
Bronn - May 31, 2010

southman - May 31, 2010

SuperHeyward - May 31, 2010

MBL1 - May 31, 2010
Ump squeezing Chavez….really wants those phils to come back
bpk228480 - May 31, 2010
ESPN doubles his bonus if they win
Londonjoe - May 31, 2010
wtf is up this ump's ass?
not calling strikes
SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010
he maybe a yankee fan
southman - May 31, 2010
Those were strikes
Londonjoe - May 31, 2010
who jinxed chavez and called the BB?
atl192485 - May 31, 2010
ugh Chavez
this is why you have a 5.00+ ERA at home with only a .205 BAA
UltimaParadox - May 31, 2010
woah
that’s really odd
atl192485 - May 31, 2010
Goodness
This strike zone is getting awfully tight for the 9th inning in a 6 run game.
Bronn - May 31, 2010
chip trying his hardest to jinx us
SouthernPanther - May 31, 2010
aww, no 1-2-3 for Chavez :(

HEYJUDE - May 31, 2010
