Another Minor League open thread... gotta chat if you want it to stay around. It's a good night for Braves pitching with four legit pitching prospects making starts, including two former first round picks, including last year's first-rounder.
Gwinnett Braves
Game time: 7:15pm
Starting pitcher: Jose Ortegano (2-1, 3.18)
Mississippi Braves
Game time: 7:05pm
Starting pitcher: Mike Minor (1-4, 3.68)
Myrtle Beach Pelicans
Game time: 7:05pm
Starting pitcher: J.J. Hoover (3-3, 3.48)
Rome Braves
Game time: 7:05pm
Starting pitcher: Brett DeVall (2-3, 3.55)

Great Idea
I love this new idea!
I really enjoy all of the minor league coverage that the site is including.
What does 2011s rotation look like?
JJ
Hanson
Huddy
Medlen/KK
Minor
I would like to see Lowe moved, but of course that is unlikely. Also Meds has shown in his brief stint so far that he is ready for a spot in the rotation.
macc - June 8, 2010
I Agree
I understand that KK is suppost to be our life line to the japanese communities,but Medlen has earned a spot over him. And yeah Lowe, I think, is gonna stick around for the entire life of his contract unfortunately.
Also first time poster here ha

Strasburg thread
i wish it was a better team that could light him up
bpk228480 - June 8, 2010
Lucky for me, I live in the area, and get MASN2 HD, although, unlucky for me, Rob Dibble does the announcing. He is by far THE worst/most biased announcer ever. EVER.
oVecKid - June 8, 2010
its on mlb network
bpk228480 - June 8, 2010
Worse than Joe Morgan?
MBL1 - June 8, 2010 via mobile
Bye far.
oVecKid - June 8, 2010
Didnt know
That was possible.
MBL1 - June 8, 2010 via mobile
It’s hard to believe. But he is wretched, to say the least. He’s more obnoxious than chip, and just dumb.
oVecKid - June 8, 2010
He sounds terrible. I bet he kills puppies.
MBL1 - June 8, 2010 via mobile
Makes Vick seem like a saint.
oVecKid - June 8, 2010

MBL1 - June 8, 2010 via mobile
Yes.
I’m in the MASN market, and am listening to Rob Dibble’s fat mouth right now.
soup du jour - June 8, 2010
It’s rough.
oVecKid - June 8, 2010
Am I a bad person if I want to see Strasburg lit up?
bravesforever16 - June 8, 2010
I’m support him.
But when he face the Braves, he gotta be careful.
Jose Rodriguez - June 8, 2010
No
But I’d like to see him succeed. He’s great for baseball in Washington, and by all accounts he’s got a good head on his shoulders and isn’t overbearingly cocky.
soup du jour - June 8, 2010
His curve is filthy. There should be laws against it.

bpk228480 - June 8, 2010
That was a wicked googly.
The ump looked confused.
soup du jour - June 8, 2010
I thought this was the Braves Minor League Thread, not Strasburg Thread.
Strasburg hasn’t thrown a strike yet!
MBL1 - June 8, 2010 via mobile
he’s a chump,
oVecKid - June 8, 2010
we should trade Chavez and JoJo to the nats for Strasburg and Bryce Harper.
MBL1 - June 8, 2010 via mobile
And have them throw in Zimmerman for chipper.
oVecKid - June 8, 2010
Nooooo not Chipper. How bout McLouth.
MBL1 - June 8, 2010 via mobile
While the idea is ok, I just don’t think theirs gonna be enough comments to warrant it
bpk228480 - June 8, 2010
theres
bpk228480 - June 8, 2010
Jesus.
That curve was fuckin crazy.
And the Hammer.
soup du jour - June 8, 2010
Dirty pitch.
oVecKid - June 8, 2010
On another note, I’m very excited to see Minor’s start.
blitzerlover - June 8, 2010
Do you have alink?
oVecKid - June 8, 2010
So am I, i hope he does good. And the minor league thread is a good idea, especially since the big braves game is at 9:40

if i talk about them?
atl192485 - June 8, 2010
Nope. Well, idk, but look up :)
oVecKid - June 8, 2010
Viele ups fur das.
(Many + for that)
UMDBHIK - June 8, 2010
Anyone know the lineup yet? Is J getting a day off yet?
oVecKid - June 8, 2010
yes and no
1. Infante 2B, 2. Heyward RF, 3. Jones 3B, 4. McCann C, 5. Glaus 1B, 6. Hinske LF, 7. Escobar SS, 8. Cabrera CF, Medlen RH
atl192485 - June 8, 2010
Nice to see chip back. An no Nate. Prado deserves a day off, too.
oVecKid - June 8, 2010
and Heyward
Kobe:The Legend - June 8, 2010
heyward needs a day off with the way he’s hitting
telemakhos - June 8, 2010
Did you hear he’s nursing a sore thumb?
MBL1 - June 8, 2010 via mobile
hasn't he been
for a while?
atl192485 - June 8, 2010
yeah, that’s why I say he needs a day off. He’s hurting and it’s killing his production
telemakhos - June 8, 2010
Whats the official word on Diaz’s return?
oVecKid - June 8, 2010
I'm really mad Heyward isn't getting a day off.
It’s not like he just has a sore thumb but he is ice cold. Anyone else this cold is would get a day off. I know a day off isn’t gonna cure his thumb but at least give him a day to rest it and take is mind off hitting because he isn’t doing much off it right now.
bravesforever16 - June 8, 2010
99 with movement. YIKES STRAS!
oVecKid - June 8, 2010
Well, its official. He’s dirty.
oVecKid - June 8, 2010
no joke....
wicked slider
atl192485 - June 8, 2010
it's elevated though
if he can locate it down, like ubaldo, it could get a lot better
atl192485 - June 8, 2010
I wish they had gameday for Myrtle Beach and Rome too. Even if it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles
eaheckman10 - June 8, 2010
My prediction
before the debut they’ll retire strasburg’s number right after giving him his 10 cy awards and 10 mvp awards, NLDS mvp, NLCS Mvp and world series mvp. He’ll throw a perfect game through nine, but the nationals will not score any runs. Bill Hohn and Joe west will be umpiring the game, and give the Pirates a free run just cause. Strasburg gets the loss.

Line out to the shortstop. Seems to be the trend.
oVecKid - June 8, 2010
BB to Stanton.
Jose Rodriguez - June 8, 2010
According to ESPN, SS has 4 k’s already. JEEZ
MBL1 - June 8, 2010 via mobile
According to my television, that is correct.
oVecKid - June 8, 2010
Kid's nasty.
eaheckman10 - June 8, 2010
Just scored tickets to the AAA all-star game at Lehigh Valley. Hope I get to see Freeman

If you were refering to Donnie Darko…yes it was awesome.
AvoidTheDolphin - June 8, 2010
infield single to stanton
it’s official. heyward > stanton
atl192485 - June 8, 2010
Stanton didn’t homer in his first atbat so he’s not as awesome as heyward. Too bad only 23 fans are there to see Mike’s debut
MBL1 - June 8, 2010 via mobile
21. A couple just left to go see Get him to the Greek.
oVecKid - June 8, 2010

18 members of mike’s family who don’t give a shit about the marlins
atl192485 - June 8, 2010
hahaha
oVecKid - June 8, 2010
Who DOES care about the marlins, anyway?
MBL1 - June 8, 2010 via mobile
oh i forgot to clarify
the three “fans” are nats prez stan kasten along with the nats’ GM and assistant GM
atl192485 - June 8, 2010
And Dibble.
oVecKid - June 8, 2010
isn't dibble in the booth?
atl192485 - June 8, 2010
Probably more interesting than a marlins game
MBL1 - June 8, 2010 via mobile
Have you seen his arms?
I’m starting the rumor now……Roids

Dibble has to shut up. EASSSY, BIG FELLA, EAAAAAAAAAAASY.
oVecKid - June 8, 2010
That new kid is pitching for the Nats right now.
his stuff is lookin nasty. cant wait for the braves to put SS in his place
ChitownBravos - June 8, 2010
smoltzy in the booth calling that game...
i’m waiting for the first terrible joke of the night
leedawg - June 8, 2010
4ks already in 2 innings work
ChitownBravos - June 8, 2010
Truthfully. This kid the Pirates have has a breaking ball like SS’s.
oVecKid - June 8, 2010
but does he throw 99
bpk228480 - June 8, 2010
That’s the kicker. No. like 79
oVecKid - June 8, 2010
it does drop
but he doesnt throw 100 then drop it down to 79
ChitownBravos - June 8, 2010
ESPN is covering the oil spill
Its official: the sports world is whack

i dont have cable.
ChitownBravos - June 8, 2010

oVecKid - June 8, 2010

atl192485 - June 8, 2010
They’re showing videos of it spilling and talking about how the saints are volunteering. But not much about the saints, more about the spill…

atl192485 - June 8, 2010

bpk228480 - June 8, 2010
My friend texted me something funny. He said Ruth is glad he’s dead.
oVecKid - June 8, 2010
hopefully he doesnt hit like that mike leake kid...
really really well
ChitownBravos - June 8, 2010
Or Haren.
oVecKid - June 8, 2010
I hear that Staton can throw a mean sinker.
soup du jour - June 8, 2010
He won’t hit a homer in his first at bat. Therefore, heyward is better
MBL1 - June 8, 2010 via mobile
True or False...
Nats will pull SS after 5, the fans boo, then realize they’re watching the Nationals and leave.
soup du jour - June 8, 2010
I feel a big inning for the Buccs.
oVecKid - June 8, 2010
he's on a pitch count around 90-95....
I wouldn’t be surprised if all of your scenario comes true
leedawg - June 8, 2010
I wishtheh Braves would have pick Leake instead of Minor.
BRaves1 - June 8, 2010
-1
Jose Rodriguez - June 8, 2010
why?
you do realize whatever pitcher we picked would not be in the majors right now, right?
atl192485 - June 8, 2010
Leake would be in AA for the Braves as well
The Reds NEEDED him in their rotation.
Jay212033 - June 8, 2010
yeah but leake is all ups
ChitownBravos - June 8, 2010
Tony Gwynn is the best thing that could've happened to SS.
Showed him what it was like to be a major leaguer.
soup du jour - June 8, 2010
Pitch limit is 90 pitches for SS.

ChitownBravos - June 8, 2010

even compared to his pro days
ChitownBravos - June 8, 2010
SS is taking apart
the NL’s worst team.
atl192485 - June 8, 2010
Don’t forget the Stro’s

personally, i think pittsburgh’s the worst team

It’s a toss up.

lets see how he fares a couple times through the lineup

this lineup? naah, lets see him against good offensive teams like the Braves, Cardinals, Dodgers

being totally honest, fish scare me more than phils
jaypatel - June 8, 2010
why?
atl192485 - June 8, 2010
one word,
Hanley Ramirez with Stanton hitting behind him. Best 3-4 combo with Cantu at 5. Plus they’ve got 5 legitimate starters and a decent bullpen
they’re build for the long stretch of a season much like the braves
phils have too many weaknesses excluding their hitters. they have no bench, bullpen or depth behind halladay and hamels
jaypatel - June 8, 2010
i agree about the phillies
but i think you overestimate the marlins pitching. johnson is a legit ace, and sanchez and volstad are a good 2-3, but that’s it. hanley and cantu are legit, but stanton is unproven and will K a lot this year, and most likely the future. their bottom of the lineup (6-7-8-9) and their leadoff spots aren’t very decent right now.
atl192485 - June 8, 2010
IMO, cody ross and dan uggla are good ball players, we’ll agree to disagree on that
stanton will strike out alot but will also score alot of runs and hit alot dingers
jaypatel - June 8, 2010
i re-read your post
are you saying you are scared of the marlins b/c of their future? if you say the marlins might be a bigger threat in the NL east in the near future than, say, the phillies, i’ll agree with you there.

batting stance question
why do batters place their front foot further away from the plate than their back foot? seems like a detriment to hitting pitches away…
atl192485 - June 8, 2010
usually they then dive towards the plate
bpk228480 - June 8, 2010
so in actuality a lot of times they jam themselves
bpk228480 - June 8, 2010
when i played ball
it was more comfortable to stand that way
ChitownBravos - June 8, 2010
they do this
to allow their entire head to be in line with the pitcher, so they have both eyes watching the release before they go into their “timing” mechanism

Having to listen to Dibble and the other guy call Stras’ first game.
11K’s so far. Very impressive stuff, even though the pirates suck.

Mlbs feed for the game must b messed up

minor allowed a double and a homer in the 1st
BRaves1 - June 8, 2010
Must have all happened after 2 outs, too, which means he’ll fit in great up with the big club.

Well....

MBL1 - June 8, 2010 via mobile
Missed most of the conversation
Thoughts:
Stras can throw all his pitches for strikes
FB up to 101 on more than one occasion according to homer gun
Fairly generous strike zone tonight for both pitchers

UltimaParadox - June 8, 2010
yes, SS can throw his pitches for strikes
but he was getting greedy a little bit throwing a breaking ball right down the middle of the plate and giving up a home run
atl192485 - June 8, 2010

And SS gets the win.

Cue Baseball Tonight.
oVecKid - June 8, 2010
I was about to say
I think the Nats have just been watching him pitch rather than actually take good AB’s
fphjr01 - June 8, 2010
That was Dunn’s first HR this year? WTF is up with that?
UMDBHIK - June 8, 2010
11th

bpk228480 - June 8, 2010
I’m pretty sure it was his 11th..

He doesn't know what he's doing
He never played in the big leagues

theres a difference between dusty baker and babying pitchers nowadays
bpk228480 - June 8, 2010
Elaborate...
strider15 - June 8, 2010
120 pitches isnt going to make a guys arm fall off…I find it crazy that 100 is some magical number where a guy is automatically tired….if a guy isn’t laboring or losing velocity…leave him in
bpk228480 - June 8, 2010
Dusty's guide to pitching
We winning?
Keep him out there
We losing?
Keep him out there
Is he tired?
One more inning, unless we start winning then restart guide
End of guide restart
UltimaParadox - June 8, 2010
we can only hope
his arm falls off from throwing 92 pitches

damn.
atl192485 - June 8, 2010

like to swing?

or
pirates bet the “over” on “strasburg Ks: 13.5”
atl192485 - June 8, 2010
Jesus.
0BB, 14Ks. I think this was a successful debut.
soup du jour - June 8, 2010

teheran did that last week
telemakhos - June 8, 2010
I believe there's a bit of difference between Hi-A and ML hitters.
soup du jour - June 8, 2010
the names?
UltimaParadox - June 8, 2010
Yea. Lets not call the pirates a ML team.
oVecKid - June 8, 2010
Wow
strider15 - June 8, 2010
If you’re smart, Riggleman, he’s had enough.
UMDBHIK - June 8, 2010
I think the pirates have had enough
bpk228480 - June 8, 2010
I think that was it for him
bpk228480 - June 8, 2010
Real Talk...
I know its the Buccs. But this kid is legit. Too legit, in fact, to quit.

I can’t wait till he spirals into bankruptcy
bpk228480 - June 8, 2010
Tyson’d
oVecKid - June 8, 2010
94 pitches
SS is done. either that, or the natinals are DUMB
atl192485 - June 8, 2010
Imagine
if he had made his debut against the D’backs. He would have about 20 Ks
a hooter's baby - June 8, 2010
In Fast Out Fast
UltimaParadox - June 8, 2010
Imagine if he could go more than 95 pitches.
He could probably get 17 anyways.
soup du jour - June 8, 2010
its not that he can't go more than 95
there is no need for him to throw any more
leedawg - June 8, 2010
What inning is it?
MBL1 - June 8, 2010 via mobile
7.5
oVecKid - June 8, 2010
Well that makes sense
MBL1 - June 8, 2010 via mobile
Bottom of the 7th.
soup du jour - June 8, 2010
14K is not mind-boggling Bob. Sorry. It just isn’t.
UMDBHIK - June 8, 2010
For his ML debut,
along with 0BB, yeah, it really is.
soup du jour - June 8, 2010
No, it really isn’t.
Was it outstanding? Yeah. But it isn’t “mind-boggling”. That’s just silly.
UMDBHIK - June 8, 2010
You're right
it’s mind bottling
a hooter's baby - June 8, 2010
Bah, that's just semantics.
I misunderstood your post, which made it seem like the start wasn’t that impressive, which it clearly was.
soup du jour - June 8, 2010
Yea. I think it is too. Is this the high so far this year? I can’t think of another
oVecKid - June 8, 2010
14 ks out of 21 batters faced

maybe the nats will do what the twins did
pay their best player
ChitownBravos - June 8, 2010
actually, the twins traded santana for a bag of balls

But I’m the American League MVP!

Hmmm, doesn't ring a bell.

telemakhos - June 8, 2010
i was talking about that guy behind the plate
ChitownBravos - June 8, 2010
they'll be able to afford him if they can get good attendance when he pitches
CNBC’s sports business guy said the Nationals are making an extra 1.5 mil off this game alone compared to what they normally bring in on a per game basis
leedawg - June 8, 2010
Strasburg is out
why aren’t the fans leaving?
a hooter's baby - June 8, 2010
because they don’t know what a pinch hitter is so they’re waiting for him to come back out. ten bucks says they boo when storen comes in from the bullpen
telemakhos - June 8, 2010
Hmmm……

Strasburg is filthy
I only watched the second inning. Looked like he was ginen a veteran strike zone. I saw some strike calls that would have made Glavine blush. Was it like that the whole game?
Frozen Fan - June 8, 2010 via mobile
ha, it was worse the whole game. there was a letter high curveball that crossed the plate around his eyes that was called a strike in the 7th
