That is right, a guy who shares the first name with many American woman just shutout out the pathetic, the horrid, the crappy, the choke-artist of a hitting lineup that not even little leaguers would fear, the Atlanta Braves today.
The Braves managed a whopping two-hits off the 47-year old lefty. Moyer’s 83 MPH fastball sure overpowered the pathetic Braves hitters tonight. His 78 MPH changeup was also effective as it induced ground ball out after ground ball out. Moyer also struck out 5 of the 28 hitters he had to face, and he walked none.
Moyer last threw a shutout in; get this, 1980friggin6, that’s right 24 years between shutouts. What an embarrassment the Braves lineup is. Last night Atlanta was getting no-hit all the way into the 8th inning against Scott Olsen. Don’t forget they already got no-hit against Jimenez earlier in the year.
The Braves hitters don’t even belong in a batters box they are so crappy. They should just send the pitcher out and see if he can NOT allow a run for 9 innings, because if he could do that then at least we know the Braves can play an extra inning game. Either that or just blindfold them, and ask them to stick the bat out — maybe they would have more luck.
Anyways, congrats Jamie Moyer, you are now 2-0 against Atlanta with an ERA of 0.00 over 15 innings in 2010. Against anyone other then a pathetic Braves offense Moyer is 2-2 with a 7.12 ERA. He hasn’t had a game in which he allowed fewer then 4 ER against anyone else. Just goes to show how pathetic the Braves are.
Not yet, especially after reading this update about Heyward
Braves manager Bobby Cox isn’t optimistic about when Jason Heyward (groin) will return to the lineup.
“I think it’s worse than day-to-day,” Cox said before Friday’s game against the Phillies. “We’re gonna wait a few more days and see if it gets better. Hopefully we don’t have to disable him. That would be rough right now.” Heyward’s importance to the lineup is only underscored by the team’s pathetic offensive output over the past two nights. Be sure to stay tuned on his status this weekend. May. 8 – 1:20 am et Source: Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Haha
Did they leave already?

I wonder if Moyer has taken his nap yet?

Koufax had a woman's name, too.
Didn’t seem to hamper him much.
Or Robin Roberts, now that I think of it.

Yeah, sorry man. Just getting so annoyed with the Braves bats that I had to let out some steam. Been a fustrating year since the 8-5 start.
