what could he have done with either of those borderline strikes? Quite frankly I’m pissed at the ump for giving Cole the benefit of the doubt after being all over the place this whole inning
It’s Glaus’ fault we’re not winning. First he fucked up with that single in the first inning, and now he fucked up with that single in the 5th inning. DFA HIM!!!
It seemed like there were a lot of games last year where he’d look bad for 1-2 innings, great for 3, then look awful in the next inning and get pulled.
I’ve slowed a bit, wondering if maybe I’m replying too much since I was (cough) mentioned by someone who posted for the first time. My total shocked me. LOL
There was this guy i once saw who made a point to screen grab his 49,980th comment, fanpost the screen grab, just so people could see when he hit 50,000.
I just remember some dude finding the blog and he would go through every thread and respond to every single comment, usually in some negative fashion and got every one pissed off at him.
Vidro is a piece of my own personal baseball vernacular that I forced upon everyone here, and anyone who knew how to look at B-R quickly understood why I used it as such.
If we can get Albert Pujols to face Brad Lidge, we have a chance. Because Lidge will run off the mound crying and curl up in the fetal position in the dugout.
We all know he’s not hitting. We also know his throws to second have all sailed into the outfield this season. I’m wondering if the two are related? And my theory is that since it’s only his right eye messed up, maybe his depth perception is off.
I meant the depth perception thing specifically – as in he’s not calibrating his throws to second properly because he can’t gauge the distance correctly.
I’m not sure that’s the case. He only has to pick up the X and Y position of the ball to catch it. Z is less relevant, since it’s going to come straight to him.
most likely true. I found out after my playing career was over I was a better left handed hitter than right handed (though I was always RH when playing competitvely) because I was right eye dominant and when that eye was in the front batting lefty I picked up the ball much better. So the eye dominance may be the real issue.
but there is no defense when someone calls you out on getting negative on a team mid game.. a manager would kick you out of the dugout, and i would kick all such nonsesne out of the game thread
Solo shots are even devastating when the team struggles to score. I don’t think people would complain too much of KK lead baseball in DLWs, because at least we’d still be winning games
i’m blaming this loss solely on him. I mean…he was pathetic…did you see him make those shitty plays at 3rd base and short stop…and damnit…doesn’t he know that he has to run to melky cabrera and grab the ball out of his glove and throw it home for him…he’s so fucking horrible
He’s going to be 31. 15-16M a year seems the elite going rate these days for anyone not named Howard or Pujols, that would require a 7 year deal. I could see him getting a Bay-style deal, 4-5 years, but 7-8 is a little much.
although heyward’s OBP is just as good as chippers, chipper can still take a walk with the best of ’em and then we will have some power in the tank when we need to ph for melky
I’d rather Hinske come up with a chance for extra base power, which I’m not convinced Chipper has right now. So let Chipper work a walk or get a base knock first.
I’m trying to maintain my sanity and my reason here, but seriously, when do we (and by we I mean the folks that are actually in a position to make the call) finally start saying some kind of change is in order, starting yesterday? We can’t just keep plodding along like this or we’re gonna look up one day and realize that it’s NOT too early anymore, that there ISN’T plenty of baseball left to play, and that we ARE screwed.

He’s looked pretty bad all day, we just kept letting him off the hook (as we often do this season).
Lennox - May 9, 2010
yeah, Hamels is close
Smoltz's Beard - May 9, 2010
On the bright side, he usually goes awesome to horrible. He seems to be doing the reverse today.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
It seemed like there were a lot of games last year where he’d look bad for 1-2 innings, great for 3, then look awful in the next inning and get pulled.
Lennox - May 9, 2010
Conrad stopped the Caveman in his tracks...
BMacAttack - May 9, 2010
Kawakami
warming up.
GT Braves - May 9, 2010
that was exactly the luck we have not been getting!
that was the best inning of baseball we have played since the first game of the season!
willlinn - May 9, 2010
8 in a row for KK.
adc62 - May 9, 2010
Hamels needs to walk Kawakami again and then we’re in business
Ivan the Great - May 9, 2010
maybe we'll score 3 runs again
that was fun
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
lets steal if from the pheusies!
willlinn - May 9, 2010
cooooooolllddd train.
BMacAttack - May 9, 2010
KK is leading off, let him bat.
Get another inning (or two) from him.
yaggiefresh - May 9, 2010
I love how all of the KK haters have nothing positive to say when he’s pitching well.
Smoltz's Beard - May 9, 2010
To be honest, most of the KK haters have nothing positive to say about anybody.
UMDBHIK - May 9, 2010
good point
Smoltz's Beard - May 9, 2010
Bang, this
royhobbs - May 9, 2010
He’s pitching well? WHAT?
He totally fucked that last inning up! He threw 8 pitches. It should’ve been 7.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
or three
good pitchers get 3 pitch innings
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
I wonder how often that actually happens though.
yondaime4 - May 9, 2010
happened to us the other day
despite glaus even getting a hit
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
That was the most impressive part of it. A 3 pitch inning, despite giving up a base hit…
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
that is ridiculous.
yondaime4 - May 9, 2010
Moyer, two days ago
royhobbs - May 9, 2010
They all left three innings in, back when we were done for.
-C
cthabeerman - May 9, 2010
apparently it’s not entertaining or arguable. I really like KK and hope everybody will stop blaming pitching and focus clearly on hating the offense.
romone_braves91 - May 9, 2010
NO HATING!
DICK! HAHA JK
willlinn - May 9, 2010
This team has 99 problems but our pitching ain’t one.
UMDBHIK - May 9, 2010
no problems that last inning!
willlinn - May 9, 2010
All right KK!!
Settle down and get the W
Frozen Fan - May 9, 2010
oh those phillies mascots...so entertaining...
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
So I'll Give KK Some Credit
Hard to believe he’s still pitching!
Nova Scotia Steve - May 9, 2010
KK magic bat is broken
but Glausosaur is hungry for POWAH.
BMacAttack - May 9, 2010
kawakami is atually an amazing pitcher
willlinn - May 9, 2010
I agree. He’s just mediocre when compared to other major league pitchers.
Ron A. - May 9, 2010
except aces
willlinn - May 9, 2010
dude, Tom Glavine, John Smoltz, or Greg Maddux are not walking back into that dugout. Make due with what you got.
romone_braves91 - May 9, 2010
ignore my post.
romone_braves91 - May 9, 2010
come on omar
lets get another leadoff hit here
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
Hubby giving me grief for not picking Infante as my P2C
NCChopper - May 9, 2010
i picked Mac...
so far…FAIL
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
Wow nasty pitch
Durbin
UltimaParadox - May 9, 2010
chin music
followed by that.. definitely a nasty pitch
BMacAttack - May 9, 2010
DAMNIT BOBBY...PUT HINSKE IN FOR MELKY NOW THAT THEY HAVE A RIGHTY IN
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
thanks for the cool breeze infante
TradeAndruw - May 9, 2010
Lots of groin injuries……..maybe some folks need to do some more stretching?
I’M LOOKING RIGHT AT YOU HAYWOOD!
UMDBHIK - May 9, 2010
you mean Haywird
good try though
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
I mean hayword
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010

J-Freak - May 9, 2010
hahahahaha
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
Stretching new opinions
Lots of articles coming out now how stretching does not help prevent any injuries what-so-ever and actually weakens them
Its better to stretch after physical activity
UltimaParadox - May 9, 2010
I never really stretched for anything, never pulled anything, yet again I haven’t played competitively since I was 19
bpk228480 - May 9, 2010
Have you ever seen a lion stretch before taking down a gazelle??
-C
cthabeerman - May 9, 2010
So we put a dent in Hamels—let’s not let the neckbeards of the Philly pen look like Cy Young against us.
Ivan the Great - May 9, 2010
"neckbeards of the Philly pen"
I like that one…
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
Hurl your best apple, Durbin
TradeAndruw - May 9, 2010
Does that make him a whirling
dirvishDurbin?J-Freak - May 9, 2010
is it bad that I want to get to melky so we can clear him next inning?

I’ve slowed a bit, wondering if maybe I’m replying too much since I was (cough) mentioned by someone who posted for the first time. My total shocked me. LOL
NCChopper - May 9, 2010
Please
There was this guy i once saw who made a point to screen grab his 49,980th comment, fanpost the screen grab, just so people could see when he hit 50,000.
royhobbs - May 9, 2010
who?
Smoltz's Beard - May 9, 2010
Not on this blog
Another one I’ve lurked at
royhobbs - May 9, 2010
50k is ridiculous
Smoltz's Beard - May 9, 2010
who was the guy who picked up more posts than bigjoe in like 2 months?
yondaime4 - May 9, 2010
Hell if I remember
Probably MP and his P-bombs
royhobbs - May 9, 2010
I just remember some dude finding the blog and he would go through every thread and respond to every single comment, usually in some negative fashion and got every one pissed off at him.
yondaime4 - May 9, 2010
lol
Good times. Wait, that’s still not happening today?
royhobbs - May 9, 2010
haha
Smoltz's Beard - May 9, 2010
touche
yondaime4 - May 9, 2010
Was that when the threads got “Proctored”?
NCChopper - May 9, 2010
Proctobombed!
bpk228480 - May 9, 2010
royhobbs - May 9, 2010
That shocked me, too. There are plenty of people who post more often than you (no offense).
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
I wasn’t offended…more surprised to read my name. But I saw my total and figured… he might have a point. LOL
NCChopper - May 9, 2010
13k+….that’s pretty impressive.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
I enjoy your posts and pics. I took it as that guy was just saying you are a positive poster. Keep it up!
vooodooo - May 9, 2010

you usually add good stuff to the threads
The rest of us are mostly just bickering and whining
UltimaParadox - May 9, 2010

most of the time so far cuss in agreement
I know what you mean
UltimaParadox - May 9, 2010
if prado gets on 1b, glausosaur goes yard.
BMacAttack - May 9, 2010
i like your predictions
now let me dismiss this as meaningless until it actually happens
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
why does it seem like odarp never swings at 3-0 pitches?
atl192485 - May 9, 2010
why would you? if the pitcher is having control issues
BMacAttack - May 9, 2010
sure
in that context. but when durbin has already K’d two? and the pitch is right down the middle?
atl192485 - May 9, 2010
probably didnt have the greenlight
wanted a walk so we could clear melky
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
because you’re not supposed to?
Smoltz's Beard - May 9, 2010
You pretty much shouldn’t swing at 3-0 pitches unless the game isn’t close. At least, in my opinion.
Ivan the Great - May 9, 2010
A) It’s smart
B) He may not be getting green lights.
UMDBHIK - May 9, 2010
Melky leading off next inning, can’t wait!
Smoltz's Beard - May 9, 2010
leadoff double!
JasonHeywardisGod - May 9, 2010
Grand slam.
yaggiefresh - May 9, 2010
that would be heywardesque with no runners on
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
I thought only Heyward could hit grand slams with no one on base.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
melkman has a lot of juice stored up

UltimaParadox - May 9, 2010

Swings and misses, throws the bat into the dugout
and injures Heyward?
UltimaParadox - May 9, 2010
honestly
have you ever seen melky show any emotion?
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
no
he just looks pissed..
but I was thinking more along the lines of a Julio Franco bat throw
UltimaParadox - May 9, 2010
hahahhaa

Oh TBS ...
“Robin Roberts didn’t have pitch counts in his day. 200. 250. 300. Who knows how much he’d throw in his time.”
Really? 300 pitches in one game?

Well, the mound was only 10 feet from the plate back then …

He drank a 40 between every inning back then too

pretty sure vidro is the ultimate secret
BMacAttack - May 9, 2010
Jose Vidro...BOOM
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
No seriously
Vidro is a piece of my own personal baseball vernacular that I forced upon everyone here, and anyone who knew how to look at B-R quickly understood why I used it as such.
royhobbs - May 9, 2010
Nice
bpk228480 - May 9, 2010
Pitch count at like 95…probably goes one more
Smoltz's Beard - May 9, 2010
I doubt he will be back.

no reason for him not to, unless the opportunity to PH comes up

I don’t think I could swing like Heap if I tried, with my RH coming off the bat first.
royhobbs - May 9, 2010
And Mac strikes out....

my god
wtf is wrong with mac…he looks so fucking bad lately

he has been doing really well in day games..

atleast not that i can remember
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
aye its been a while since we’ve been able to call him a game MVP =/ he’s my fantasy league catcher too… not fun watching him struggle

It’s probably the macular.

We need to get the order reset
If we can get Matt Diaz to see Brad Lidge, we have a chance
royhobbs - May 9, 2010
haha
THIS
atl192485 - May 9, 2010
edit
if we can get anyone to see Brad Lidge, we have a chance
BMacAttack - May 9, 2010
brooks conrad, melky cabrera?
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
brad lidge
has been known to throw the ball into the outfield for base hits
BMacAttack - May 9, 2010
well
knowing melky doesnt know to throw to home play would he know to run to first?
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
If we can get Albert Pujols to face Brad Lidge, we have a chance. Because Lidge will run off the mound crying and curl up in the fetal position in the dugout.
FineHamAbounds - May 9, 2010
really?
Can't buy me runs - May 9, 2010
It happened once. Lidge couldn’t pitch well for like, 2 years afterward.
FineHamAbounds - May 9, 2010
I still remember trading for Brad Lidge in MVP 2005. You know, back before he sucked.
J-Freak - May 9, 2010
I love TBS's emo montage music
yaggiefresh - May 9, 2010
I was just wondering something about Mac....
We all know he’s not hitting. We also know his throws to second have all sailed into the outfield this season. I’m wondering if the two are related? And my theory is that since it’s only his right eye messed up, maybe his depth perception is off.
Any thoughts?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
that actually makes perfect sense
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
Yes
Eyes are related to pretty much everything.
royhobbs - May 9, 2010
I meant the depth perception thing specifically – as in he’s not calibrating his throws to second properly because he can’t gauge the distance correctly.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
although
i feel like he’d have trouble catching behind the plate too if this was the case
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
I’m not sure that’s the case. He only has to pick up the X and Y position of the ball to catch it. Z is less relevant, since it’s going to come straight to him.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
he could probably compensate a little with timing on that so it wouldn’t be as pronounced
yondaime4 - May 9, 2010
Astute observation. Anisometropia (difference in the power between the eyes) can affect binocular vision and depth perception.
UMDBHIK - May 9, 2010
I could see that
No pun intended. But that rationale makes sense. Plus it’d make you rethink each action.
yaggiefresh - May 9, 2010
most likely true. I found out after my playing career was over I was a better left handed hitter than right handed (though I was always RH when playing competitvely) because I was right eye dominant and when that eye was in the front batting lefty I picked up the ball much better. So the eye dominance may be the real issue.
yondaime4 - May 9, 2010
heyward vs. lidge
i want to see it
atl192485 - May 9, 2010
this will result in a HR
110% of the time
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
Give Glaus that extra 10% please.
yaggiefresh - May 9, 2010
fair enough
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
KK out for the 7th
Are we playin’ with fire here?
NCChopper - May 9, 2010
I think we’ll know after Ross Gload’s AB. If KK gets him, we’re good. If he doesn’t, he needs to be pulled.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
And he got him! KK stays in!
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
My bad… :(
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
he’s looked more solid as the game has gone on
Can't buy me runs - May 9, 2010
It’s been good to see, just hope he’s on a very short leash.
NCChopper - May 9, 2010
KK’s been pitching well save those two HR’s
BMacAttack - May 9, 2010
he’s giving up 1 hit over the last 3 innings
Smoltz's Beard - May 9, 2010
Ha, looks like you were right.
Smoltz's Beard - May 9, 2010
Wish I wasn’t. Looks like that leash was 1 batter too long.
NCChopper - May 9, 2010
It was a pretty good pitch too…unfortunately that doesn’t matter

a microcosm of our season?
yaggiefresh - May 9, 2010
Freudian slip much?
J-Freak - May 9, 2010
Poor KK
bpk228480 - May 9, 2010
piss poor.
yaggiefresh - May 9, 2010
PHUCK
Can't buy me runs - May 9, 2010
THAT HURTS
JasonHeywardisGod - May 9, 2010
Dicktorino strikes again.
PHUCK!!!!

BALLGAME
Where was the wind on that one???
Nova Scotia Steve - May 9, 2010
Better question:
How did he not get jammed on that? That was way in on his hands.
J-Freak - May 9, 2010
I HATEHATEHATEHATEHATEHATEHATEHATEHATEHATE Shane Victorino.
FineHamAbounds - May 9, 2010
+A Quintillion
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
what the hell is a homerun
bpk228480 - May 9, 2010
It’s that thing the opposing team does where they stop playing long enough to give out a souvenir. The Braves don’t do that.
J-Freak - May 9, 2010
so the braves are just greedy?
bpk228480 - May 9, 2010
baseballs cost money
and in this economy…
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
Great minds think alike?
J-Freak - May 9, 2010
Short on baseballs.
We have to conserve, in case we need them later.
J-Freak - May 9, 2010
phuck that freaking hawaiin
BMacAttack - May 9, 2010
shit
Johnny Ringo - May 9, 2010
this is terrible
hawves - May 9, 2010
damnit
i got to take a piss and see that KK have up another HR…thats 3 today…not good
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
I love how we manhandle Howard this season....
But Victorino and Werth are murdering us. :(
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
Werth is murdering everybody.
J-Freak - May 9, 2010
for what is werth, werth is murdering everyone.
yondaime4 - May 9, 2010
i see what you did there
despite the small error…i think you mean “for what it’s werth”
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
fail on my part
yondaime4 - May 9, 2010
haha
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
no SBs
because Victorino is not getting OBP at a high clip
UltimaParadox - May 9, 2010
And then we get to enjoy Chip/Joe telling us Phillies so good, they don't have to run.
AL type offense. Saweet.
NCChopper - May 9, 2010
I blame this one on Nate!!
Multiple fails in big time spots
Can't buy me runs - May 9, 2010
I blame Melky….I don’t need a reason.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
ha, this too
Smoltz's Beard - May 9, 2010
yeah…aside from his D, he’s done nothing useful.
Smoltz's Beard - May 9, 2010
he's made two real nice defensive plays though
i’d blame melky’s retarted no-throw to home
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
shut the fuck up
blaming losses of games in the 7th inning what the fuck is wrong with you
willlinn - May 9, 2010
this is the reason braves are struggling..
fans like that
willlinn - May 9, 2010
i don’t think the team is struggling because of the fans. I think they are struggling because they can’t hit very well.
yondaime4 - May 9, 2010
+1
J-Freak - May 9, 2010
yeah….our disappointment in them is making them swing the bats at fucked up pitches
Can't buy me runs - May 9, 2010
common sense nonsense!
willlinn - May 9, 2010
defending blaming a team before the end of a game
is ridiculous..
willlinn - May 9, 2010
you sir are ridiculous
yondaime4 - May 9, 2010
i have no problem admitting that
but there is no defense when someone calls you out on getting negative on a team mid game.. a manager would kick you out of the dugout, and i would kick all such nonsesne out of the game thread
willlinn - May 9, 2010
you are not the manager here. and we don’t operate on baseball team rules either.
yondaime4 - May 9, 2010
Good thing you’re not in charge of the game thread, then.
Besides, learn to tell the difference between the serious haters and those of us who are mostly joking.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
The blame keeps getting shifted around. KK, then Melky, now Nate. If Nate gets a hit sometime, we might have to blame B-Mac.
FineHamAbounds - May 9, 2010
blame is a retarded waste of time that only destroys teams
willlinn - May 9, 2010
Hey, hey, hey...
The blame NEVER shifts off Melky.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
Nah. I’m more than happy to blame Milky henceforth and forevermore. Or at least until he’s traded/released.
J-Freak - May 9, 2010
Glaus still gets his share of the blame, for some reason
Smoltz's Beard - May 9, 2010
Decent
job by KK, that last Homerun was a decent pitch
UltimaParadox - May 9, 2010
i'm a little concerned he gave up 3 HRs
all solo shots but he seems to be giving up a lot of HRs each game..if I remember correctly he gave up 2 last start
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
Yeah...that is worrisome, but hopefully it's just a fluke.
He ordinarily gives up about 1 HR per 10+ IPs. Now, he’s given up 5 HRs in the last 10 IPs.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
other than those few hanging pitches he was really good today
plus he was facing the phillies…
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
Sigh...
Phucking Little League ballpark….
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
Somehow this feels less than celebratory..
NCChopper - May 9, 2010
Poor KK
He started off poorly, but came back strong.
royhobbs - May 9, 2010
yea
he usually does poorly the 2nd-3rd time through the order, but he rebounded strongly
atl192485 - May 9, 2010
sign of good things to come
He was not fighting his follow through as much, really driving the ball down in the zone
UltimaParadox - May 9, 2010
i feel like we should be winning the game
i guess i forgot how bad the first inning was
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
I gotta order me a pink bat.
6 yrs & counting…. :-)
NCChopper - May 9, 2010
how much?
yondaime4 - May 9, 2010
Looking now..
NCChopper - May 9, 2010
OUCH $80
NCChopper - May 9, 2010
make it cheaper
yondaime4 - May 9, 2010
so not to be mean though
What does the Brooks Conrad pink bat go for?
UltimaParadox - May 9, 2010
$1...
i think the fact he used it defaces its value
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
ouch
poor Brooksy
UltimaParadox - May 9, 2010
cold blooded
yondaime4 - May 9, 2010
LOL
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
Depends, did he sign it?
FineHamAbounds - May 9, 2010
If he signed it, the value goes down more, right?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
yeah I would think
thats ink on a perfectly good bat
UltimaParadox - May 9, 2010
HAHAHHAHAHAH
this
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
Actually
I would consider buying the bat if he hits a game tying home run here
what you think?
UltimaParadox - May 9, 2010
up to $5???
totally worth it
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
haha
UltimaParadox - May 9, 2010
the previously mentioned bat is being used right now!!!
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
Good outing KK.
UMDBHIK - May 9, 2010
EOF did his job...
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
Odds of EOF stealing another win today?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
that pissed me off
that should have gone to Medlind so bad…
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
C’mon now. He’s no Oscar Villereal.
UMDBHIK - May 9, 2010
the vulture
UltimaParadox - May 9, 2010
He usually does. I have zero complaints about EOF since he joined the team.
FineHamAbounds - May 9, 2010
high!
willlinn - May 9, 2010
EOF
is very consistent
BMacAttack - May 9, 2010
But would you say he’s consistently consistent?
- Blueberry Johnson
UMDBHIK - May 9, 2010
He'll be back
Barring enough base runners to get to the 9th spot, EOF will be right back to pitch to Howard in the 8th
royhobbs - May 9, 2010
sucks knowing we are going to need like 5 baserunners to score 2 runs
bpk228480 - May 9, 2010
haha
Can't buy me runs - May 9, 2010
wouldn't
back to back to back to back HRs be awesome here
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
we’d have to clone Heyward twice for that to happen
adc62 - May 9, 2010
lol
yondaime4 - May 9, 2010
i have faith in brooks conrad...
…nvm
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
3 times?
J-Freak - May 9, 2010
jose Contreras
Fork ball master
UltimaParadox - May 9, 2010
In Soviet Russia, ball forks you!
UMDBHIK - May 9, 2010
Put it in H!
Smoltz's Beard - May 9, 2010
I prefer my balls to spoon….
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
jose contreras mom, 104 yrs old, is in the ballpark
bpk228480 - May 9, 2010
I'd hate to see her die of a heart attack...
But the Braves need a win here.
FineHamAbounds - May 9, 2010
glad
you got your priorities straight
UltimaParadox - May 9, 2010
A couple of homers wouldn’t hurt, but they might kill her.
FineHamAbounds - May 9, 2010
just send him down....thurston can't be this bad
bpk228480 - May 9, 2010
brooks
f’in horrible
atl192485 - May 9, 2010
mclouth.. i love his swing, i wanna see it!
willlinn - May 9, 2010
it is beautiful when he makes solid contact
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
Brooksy listening to the dickhead fan saying “swing”
NCChopper - May 9, 2010
He probably thought it was TP yelling at him.
UMDBHIK - May 9, 2010
There’s got to be someone, somewhere more capable than Conrad right now…bring up Salcedo?
Smoltz's Beard - May 9, 2010
Mark DeRosa?
UMDBHIK - May 9, 2010
i say we start trading some of these awesome pitching prospects. Delgado’s line today: 6IP 4h 1r 2bb 9k
yondaime4 - May 9, 2010
Delgado for Pierre? Podsednik?
We’d finally have our leadoff hitter!
Smoltz's Beard - May 9, 2010
Redemption time!!!
…..seriously Nate….lets go!
Can't buy me runs - May 9, 2010
...yeah
Conrad was a good addition to the lineup today 0/4 w/ 2 SOs and that horseshit throw to Glaus…good idea Coxy….
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
thats a fucking ball
bpk228480 - May 9, 2010
Bad strike call there.
FineHamAbounds - May 9, 2010
That was a terrible call.
Smoltz's Beard - May 9, 2010
that pitch was closer!
bpk228480 - May 9, 2010
did they seriously just call that a strike????
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
bullshit!
atl192485 - May 9, 2010
fantastic call ump
yondaime4 - May 9, 2010
Let me get this straight.....we hammer the Phillies' starter....
…..but their bullpen is shutting us down?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
Yes, that’s correct.
Smoltz's Beard - May 9, 2010
Is this Bizarro World?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
To be fair, it was surprising that we hammered their starter.
Smoltz's Beard - May 9, 2010
And it was typical that we didn’t hammer him even more, given how HORRIBLE he was.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
+1
Smoltz's Beard - May 9, 2010
nate should be walking to first..
BMacAttack - May 9, 2010
That pitch was better than the one he called.
FineHamAbounds - May 9, 2010
And then he calls a ball on a much better pitch
Smoltz's Beard - May 9, 2010
We need to get some guys on here if only to make sure that Glausosaur and Mac come up in the 9th.
Ivan the Great - May 9, 2010
I'm not so sure I want Mac up right now
sadly…
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
He’s been overmatched in some at-bats but also hit a ball hard… and it’s unlikely that Infante/Prado alone will be able to get two across.
Ivan the Great - May 9, 2010
Damn't....
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
wonderful inning
bpk228480 - May 9, 2010
sigh
JasonHeywardisGod - May 9, 2010
we'll we're down to 3 outs
chances of more 9th inning heroics…SLIM with melky batting 3rd
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
wont be melky
BMacAttack - May 9, 2010
Pinch hit Heyward for Melky….that’s for damn sure.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
shit, I’d take Hinske
Smoltz's Beard - May 9, 2010
well...
a logical manager would pinch hit him yes…but will Bobby…I mean he is obviously drunk enough to put melky batting 3rd to begin with
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
pinch hitter
only team this year to pinch hit for their 3-hole hitter
UltimaParadox - May 9, 2010
chipper, omar, prado, heyward up next inning
BMacAttack - May 9, 2010
was JUST about task
if you think bobby would PH heyward for melky. i vote he doesn’t… gotta play the matchups!
lingsched - May 9, 2010
not that i don't think he SHOULD
but we all know bobby..
lingsched - May 9, 2010
Due up in 9th
PH: Hinske? Heyward? Chipper?
Infante
Prado
UMDBHIK - May 9, 2010
chipper-- he was already warming up for EOF
BMacAttack - May 9, 2010
can we get a prediction please
how many runs in the 9th?
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
3
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
i’ll predict when i see who’s pitching— i gotta get the feeling from the situation
BMacAttack - May 9, 2010
Frankly, I like our chances for some offense against Lidge if he indeed pitches.
UMDBHIK - May 9, 2010
We own Lidge.
justincredubil02 - May 9, 2010
Who own da Lidge?
OwnSSSS. OwnSSSS.
Ownzuh! Ownzuh!
UMDBHIK - May 9, 2010
Melky is just waiting for his moment
bpk228480 - May 9, 2010

But don’t make it again
royhobbs - May 9, 2010
Alright.
I’m sorry.
J-Freak - May 9, 2010
as a german I take offense to that
bpk228480 - May 9, 2010
As someone named Kyle,
I think I offended myself. I’m an asshole!
J-Freak - May 9, 2010
So, do people still hate KK?
justincredubil02 - May 9, 2010
Since he ended his day with a HR, yes
royhobbs - May 9, 2010
this
Smoltz's Beard - May 9, 2010
He did kinda make my arguement about how he doesn’t give up a lot of HRs rather weak.
5 HRs in his last two games – all of the solo shot variety…
justincredubil02 - May 9, 2010
Solo shots are even devastating when the team struggles to score. I don’t think people would complain too much of KK lead baseball in DLWs, because at least we’d still be winning games
royhobbs - May 9, 2010
Truth.
justincredubil02 - May 9, 2010
That last one hurt. 2 runs back looks huge right now compared to 1.
NCChopper - May 9, 2010
god...
i’m blaming this loss solely on him. I mean…he was pathetic…did you see him make those shitty plays at 3rd base and short stop…and damnit…doesn’t he know that he has to run to melky cabrera and grab the ball out of his glove and throw it home for him…he’s so fucking horrible
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
on the non-sarcastic side
he did give up 3 HRs though…
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
Yeah, it’s out of character for him to be giving up the bombs – but we are in CBPB and the Phillies are awesome.
justincredubil02 - May 9, 2010
yeah
although werth’s and utley’s were gone in any park…
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
fail
werth and polanco’s
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
Because I CAN.
J-Freak - May 9, 2010
STFD howard
atl192485 - May 9, 2010
STFD HOWARD!
EOF and Venters pwn Howard this season.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
Howard
Thinking about all his money on the way back to the dugout
UltimaParadox - May 9, 2010
I want werth bad next year
bpk228480 - May 9, 2010
no way they give him up
BMacAttack - May 9, 2010
he's a free agent
and they dont have money to retain him more than likely
JasonHeywardisGod - May 9, 2010
hes a FA…theres really no way they can sign him
bpk228480 - May 9, 2010
Way:
What do they have, like $110M committed to seven guys next year already, now that Howard got his bloat-deal?
J-Freak - May 9, 2010
become a Yanks fan then
Can't buy me runs - May 9, 2010
they are gonna get carl crawford
JasonHeywardisGod - May 9, 2010
It's the Yankees...
They’ll take both Crawford and Werth.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
Must be nice.
justincredubil02 - May 9, 2010
Fer rizzle.
Imagine what we could do with a Crawford-Werth-JHey OF.
Now mop up all the tears you just in a puddle beneath you.
J-Freak - May 9, 2010
He wants
100 million +
UltimaParadox - May 9, 2010
And he, if anyone, deserves it.
justincredubil02 - May 9, 2010
I don't know
He’s going to be 31. 15-16M a year seems the elite going rate these days for anyone not named Howard or Pujols, that would require a 7 year deal. I could see him getting a Bay-style deal, 4-5 years, but 7-8 is a little much.
J-Freak - May 9, 2010
Yeah, I don’t think he’ll get 100+ either
Smoltz's Beard - May 9, 2010
So, there’s a chance we get him?
justincredubil02 - May 9, 2010
Don't get your hopes up.
Either Chipper has to retire or Kasten has to get the Fount O’ Money flowing or there’s no way. But I would wet myself if we get him, he’s phenomenal.
J-Freak - May 9, 2010
I said I want him
didn’t say we would actually get him
bpk228480 - May 9, 2010
So far thisyear
Ubaldo > Halladay
UltimaParadox - May 9, 2010
god yes
Ubaldo is downright dominant
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
Doubt it will be the same by the end of the year, but so far, yes, you are correct.
UMDBHIK - May 9, 2010
Would you rather.....
Shave Werth’s beard or kick Melky in the balls?
mj10catchit10 - May 9, 2010
I'll take the kick, please.
yaggiefresh - May 9, 2010
shave his beard
you never kick a man in the balls…NEVER
(just like you don’t shoot a guy in the dick)
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
Shave Werth. Cause then I could slit his f’ing throat.
Wait. That wasn’t nice.
UMDBHIK - May 9, 2010
HEYWARD HAS A BAT IN HIS HANDS

UltimaParadox - May 9, 2010

EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
Leadoff two-run bomb!!!
mj10catchit10 - May 9, 2010
A leadoff walk to Chipper, then a walkoff GS by JayHey.
UMDBHIK - May 9, 2010
Only Jason Heyward can hit a walk-off 2 run grand slam on the road…
justincredubil02 - May 9, 2010
Don’t argue with it. Just let it happen…
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010

For being Indian I suck at computers.

Smoltz's Beard - May 9, 2010
I think he’s under team control until after next year
mj10catchit10 - May 9, 2010
just looked it up…arb eligible until 2013
Smoltz's Beard - May 9, 2010
I approve.
justincredubil02 - May 9, 2010
going to be interesting to see how long we keep him when those arb raises start to get higher
Smoltz's Beard - May 9, 2010
Venters, Dunn will make the decisions easier
royhobbs - May 9, 2010
true
Smoltz's Beard - May 9, 2010

royhobbs - May 9, 2010
will lidge blow this save?
probably / yes
lingsched - May 9, 2010
no doubt
chip walks
omar singles
prads doubles
heyward goes bomb
and we walk off…and yes we can…when heyward hits a HR in the 9th you get to walk off…look that shit up
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
Chipper, Omar, Prado, Heyward
BMacAttack - May 9, 2010
vs….. ?

Lidge.
Duh.
royhobbs - May 9, 2010
lidge
lingsched - May 9, 2010
Is this Lidge's first outing
since coming off the DL?
UltimaParadox - May 9, 2010
No. Gave up a bomb his first appearance back.
UMDBHIK - May 9, 2010
no.
he pitched and gave up a HR in his first outing
lingsched - May 9, 2010
Negative
l0stnumber - May 9, 2010
no
he’s had 3 outings, 2.1 IP 1 ER
atl192485 - May 9, 2010
thanks
UltimaParadox - May 9, 2010
Question time:
Should Heyward lead off the 9th for the pitcher or does Bobby wait and see if Melky comes up with a runner on?
Scott Coleman - May 9, 2010 via mobile
Chipper Ph first
no doubt
UltimaParadox - May 9, 2010
We need runners.
So you put him up regardless.
yaggiefresh - May 9, 2010
chipper should lead off the 9th
although heyward’s OBP is just as good as chippers, chipper can still take a walk with the best of ’em and then we will have some power in the tank when we need to ph for melky
lingsched - May 9, 2010
Lead off with Hinske, save Heyward…that’s what I would do.
justincredubil02 - May 9, 2010
And Bobby does it.
justincredubil02 - May 9, 2010
Just as you called it.
yaggiefresh - May 9, 2010
I’d rather Hinske come up with a chance for extra base power, which I’m not convinced Chipper has right now. So let Chipper work a walk or get a base knock first.
UMDBHIK - May 9, 2010
And this is why I’m not managing a MLB team.
UMDBHIK - May 9, 2010
we
have a winner
UltimaParadox - May 9, 2010
i disagree with this
chipper with the better plate discipline, maybe he’s too hurt
lingsched - May 9, 2010
C'mon Hinske....get a rally started.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
NL hits .300 against LIdge
So that means we’ll hit .220 against him or something like that

Scott Coleman - May 9, 2010 via mobile
This wind…killing us…
Smoltz's Beard - May 9, 2010
yeah omar...
show bunt…
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
Warning track power, and Victorino with a great play to track that one down.
justincredubil02 - May 9, 2010
SERIOUSLY!! PHUCK THE WIND!!!
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
No f'n shit.
yaggiefresh - May 9, 2010
This is absurd…
Smoltz's Beard - May 9, 2010

SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
WOW

bpk228480 - May 9, 2010
Oh gosh, 2 to the track???
justincredubil02 - May 9, 2010
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
BMacAttack - May 9, 2010
Crushing the ball and no help.
Phillies get the wind to knock their balls out.
UMDBHIK - May 9, 2010
Unbelievable. Ridiculous.
Ivan the Great - May 9, 2010
UNREAL
lingsched - May 9, 2010
Someone stab Chip in the booth with a pen.
NCChopper - May 9, 2010
In the throat….
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010

Scott Coleman - May 9, 2010 via mobile
Dear Pujols #2
royhobbs - May 9, 2010
im so pissed
JasonHeywardisGod - May 9, 2010
Lidge just gave up 2 HRs and lowered his ERA.
justincredubil02 - May 9, 2010
FUCK LIFE
JasonHeywardisGod - May 9, 2010
just not our day
adc62 - May 9, 2010
F you TBS
stop blowing steam up Lidge’s ass. The wind is saving him.
yaggiefresh - May 9, 2010
They just said that any other day, without the wind, those are both gone…they aren’t blowing anything up his ass.
justincredubil02 - May 9, 2010
I know
but shortly after that it was all about how great his slider is.
yaggiefresh - May 9, 2010
It is pretty great.
justincredubil02 - May 9, 2010
I'd imaging pitching with a hardon is tough for Lidge
NCChopper - May 9, 2010
ofcourse
ofcourse the wind doesn’t blow when the phils hit it hard…but when we do…no no no…its gotta hold it in the park
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
we should be tied
sepulcher - May 9, 2010
prado. come on, you got this! its lidge!
BMacAttack - May 9, 2010
Ball game... :(
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
Well
game over
UltimaParadox - May 9, 2010
that is so much bullshit
god that is frustrating
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
i hate that goddamn city
bpk228480 - May 9, 2010
we need to burn that fucker down
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
they don't fucking dserve that at all
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
Agh. Gotta sweep Milwaukee for a .500+ road trip.
Scott Coleman - May 9, 2010 via mobile
Lowe vs. Gallardo
good luck
bpk228480 - May 9, 2010
DLW!!
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
i’m not going to lie. i was half expecting lidge to commit an error in his throw to howard
BMacAttack - May 9, 2010
Fucking bullshit.
GT Braves - May 9, 2010
Somebody run on the field and get tasered!
I require amusement.
UMDBHIK - May 9, 2010
Heyward needs to be back
JasonHeywardisGod - May 9, 2010
blarg
Smoltz's Beard - May 9, 2010
We STILL need this.
NCChopper - May 9, 2010
Lennox - May 9, 2010
oh well
Everyone take care of your Mom’s
UltimaParadox - May 9, 2010
Look at the bright side
The Braves were 0-7 on their last road trip. We’re 2-4 now this time, at least.
royhobbs - May 9, 2010
progress
i like
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
god we are the unluckiest team in all of baseball
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
3 runs with this line-up is a positive……I guess
adc62 - May 9, 2010
So the Phillies get 3 solo shots that don’t get doomed by the wind, and we hit two almost-goners that the wind rejects.
Ivan the Great - May 9, 2010
its rigged
mother nature…that bitch…
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
The wind plays for the home team.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - May 9, 2010
Clearly Mother Nature hates America.
UMDBHIK - May 9, 2010
my bad guys
ha
willlinn - May 9, 2010
13-18
ouch.
atl192485 - May 9, 2010
Not that bad.
SuperNewb - May 9, 2010
wild part is
that it seems like our record is so much worse. We’re 5 under for the way we’re playing and I’ll take it. We’re too good to keep this up.
yaggiefresh - May 9, 2010
It’s so rare that I want to blame the weather, but man, it sucked to see those flags whipping around and seeing balls knocked down in the sky.
royhobbs - May 9, 2010
That was some seriously selective wind.
Knocked down both our shots in the 9th, but didn’t contain the Phuckers…
J-Freak - May 9, 2010
despite the total bullshit that is the wind
it was fun…have a good rest of the day fellas! Happy Mother’s Day to everyone’s mom!!!
SouthernPanther - May 9, 2010
Kawakami probably made the wind help the Phillies’ balls and knock the Braves’ balls down because he doesn’t want to WIN.
UMDBHIK - May 9, 2010
I'm glad to be leaving this city....
.
Off to enjoy a steak dinner on the grill. Maybe next time.
NCChopper - May 9, 2010
16 LOB..most not due to the wind. It’s still our Achilles heal
Wicket - May 9, 2010
Rather be 5 under now...
Than 5 under at the end of the season… still plenty of ball left to play.
SuperNewb - May 9, 2010
131 left. Lots of good things to come.
We’ll be laughing about all this in October.
UMDBHIK - May 9, 2010
We've been saying this for a month now.
I’m trying to maintain my sanity and my reason here, but seriously, when do we (and by we I mean the folks that are actually in a position to make the call) finally start saying some kind of change is in order, starting yesterday? We can’t just keep plodding along like this or we’re gonna look up one day and realize that it’s NOT too early anymore, that there ISN’T plenty of baseball left to play, and that we ARE screwed.
J-Freak - May 9, 2010
Then we make like the Cubs fans and say “There’s always next year.”
UMDBHIK - May 9, 2010
Blech.
Being reduced to the level of the Cubs fans is the ultimate insult.
J-Freak - May 9, 2010
Oh well
Always a pleasure chatting up with creepy internet acquaintances. Take care everyone
royhobbs - May 9, 2010
Excuse me sir
Just who are you calling creepy…?
J-Freak - May 9, 2010
When is Jason expected back?
