they suddenly feel they need to fix the ground between the bases when their bullpen comes in? It’s like they’re suddenly expecting lots of baserunners.
Whatever. He has said himself he is a streaky hitter, and he has proven that to be true. I’d rather have him slump in July and August and pick it back up in September and October than have it be the other way around.

Pitcher
there is one thing I noticed about this lineup… it’s not Martin from a certain month during the season or whatever. It’s just Martin. He’s been so consistent this year.
1 year/$1.75M (2010)
signed by Atlanta as a free agent 1/5/10
$0.25M roster bonus for 100 days on active 25-man roster
performance bonuses: $0.35M each for 400, 450, 500 PAs; $0.4M for 550 PAs; $0.55M for 600 PAs http://mlbcontracts.blogspot.com/2005/01/atlanta-braves_15.html
So he’s got his 2m, .35 × 3 = 1.05, so add the .4 and .55 and that’s a total of 4 max. He’s still at 2 now, but should get the 400 plate appearances in the next few games.
There was a study someone did about variables involved in hitting into double plays, and it turns out the variably most associated with double-playing is batting right-handed.
There’s a lot of spoilers involved in the data set. One thing that you’d mentally associate with grounding into double plays is being a groundball hitter, but there’s lots of speed guys like Ichiro and Juan Pierre and Scott Podsednik (et all) who put the ball on the ground a lot and don’t hit into many double plays.
This is making me nervous. I have seen so many strikeouts looking by the Marlins that haven’t been called, and it makes it hard to be confident that we can keep them from scoring.
There's more to those projections than just numbers
And people just won’t think Freeman is a super elite prospect at first base unless they think he has 40 HR potential. There’s plenty of doubt in that regard.
but damn if that isn’t promising Bronn, and you could argue 30+ HR projection off that. Chipper wasn’t hitting as many in the minors and he got 40+, without the frame Freddie has.
just that they could. we’ve got 4 in the top 50 (assuming the injury drops Arodys). And with a strong finish, all 4 are capable of being high in there.
thing is, he’s about the only true impact bat NOW available NOW. I don’t think it’s worth it, unless they send like $30m with it. But I’d be tempted to ask the scouts how they thought he’d hold up the next 3 years and how he was in the locker room. Did anyone play with him in Washington or Chicago?
I don't care how hard he hit the ball, the fact is he hit it at the wrong place. Why is McLouth even in our lineup anymore ? He should be a bench player at best .
Wait, no it hasn’t. Hope the rest of the road trip goes better than this, and that Mclouth and Chavez aren’t on the team by the time we come back home.
he makes way to many changes and leaves us with garbage in extra innings. no reason to pinch run for hinske with a runner in front of him. mclouth isnt even a defensive upgrade. and worst of all, we were losing at the time. you don’t make defensive swaps when you’re losing. and the chavez decision is incomprehensible.
Pinch running for McCann cost us since Diaz was quickly caught stealing, and then we had the pitcher on deck in that 11th instead of Mac (not that it mattered). Pinch running for Hinske really did hurt us because we didn’t score out of that, and as a result, we had McLouth up instead of Hinske in the 11th. And then instead of using Wagner in the 11th, he used Chavez.
Much better options than McClouth, but hell even Gregor Blanco is a better option at this point. For some reason Bobby was obligated to bring in Jesse “3 run” Chavez.
I still think Schafer will end up being a pretty good MLB player when it is all said and done. Hell, McClouth didn’t exactly tear it up in AAA and he’s playing like he should be at Myrtle Beach rather than Atlanta.
The braves need to pick it up. Washington is always a struggle. They need a sweep right now. The Braves are 5-5 since the all star break. Not acceptable.
Only the second series loss in 20 something series and you guys wont just take it as it is, a series that we fell behind in each three games battled back but only came away with one game. Did we play horrible? No,but we didnt exactly play well. And i may be alone but ill take this McLouth over the one two months ago. At least this one makes contact and hits more than infield flys. That DP was a little unlucky and yet only one of you have even mentioned the fact McLouth squared that ball up.
I think a lot of us are more frustrated by Mclouth and Chavez. We had chances today, and as a team we didnt pull through. But Mclouth, at this point, really is bringing the team down by his ineptness
I can see why people are tired of it but look at J-Hey. It took him an entire series of play till he started producing again. And I honestly think that hits will start coming for McLouth since he is making more contact since returning.

Heyward has reached base in this series more than McLouth has since June 1st.
Scott Coleman - July 25, 2010
or longer, I'd imagine
Jacob Peterson - July 25, 2010
Go do your thing Jacob.
Scott Coleman - July 25, 2010
Well Mclouth has 7 times on base
since May 25th. How many does Jason have this series?
Jacob Peterson - July 25, 2010

Scott Coleman - July 25, 2010
McLouth
has 11 times on base since May 20th.

Pitcher
atl192485 - July 25, 2010
he was better in May
kbertling353 - July 25, 2010
he should’ve been the MVP of May
Scott Coleman - July 25, 2010
Yes.
Jacob Peterson - July 25, 2010
haha, yeah
though it should be Sea Bass from Toronto. 17 homers!
Jacob Peterson - July 25, 2010
well yeah
but i figured i couldn’t count his time on another team
SouthernPanther - July 25, 2010
Why not?
As long as we’re cherrypicking.
Jacob Peterson - July 25, 2010
fair enough
give me agonz from his toronto days.
although since coming over isn’t he hitting like 350+ or something ridiculous like that
SouthernPanther - July 25, 2010
no homers though.
Jacob Peterson - July 25, 2010
or Yunel in Toronto
.400 BA
Of course super small sample size
UltimaParadox - July 25, 2010
there is one thing I noticed about this lineup… it’s not Martin from a certain month during the season or whatever. It’s just Martin. He’s been so consistent this year.
MBL1 - July 25, 2010 via mobile
yeah
i was like which month has been martiin’s best…hmmm…all of them
SouthernPanther - July 25, 2010
MEGA fail
joshant - July 25, 2010
I'm still mad at the Braves for letting Teixeira go. IMO he's much better than Glaus.
AndyInGA - July 25, 2010
He was leaving whether we liked it or not
Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010
The Braves could have afforded him. Our Owners were just too cheap.
AndyInGA - July 25, 2010
you should go learn more about salaries
because we couldn’t.
RichmondBraves - July 25, 2010
that doesnt
sound like we could afford him then
Texastriplecrown - July 25, 2010
really?
You really don’t get how this works do you?
Jacob Peterson - July 25, 2010
Glaus = 2 million
Tex = 180 million
kbertling353 - July 25, 2010
I thought Glaus' contract got a bunch of incentive
so it might be as much as $10 M (probably more like $6 M)
LEastCoastBears - July 25, 2010
can't be more than
$4.75M
Jacob Peterson - July 25, 2010
Pretty sure just 4 even
1 year/$1.75M (2010)
signed by Atlanta as a free agent 1/5/10
$0.25M roster bonus for 100 days on active 25-man roster
performance bonuses: $0.35M each for 400, 450, 500 PAs; $0.4M for 550 PAs; $0.55M for 600 PAs
http://mlbcontracts.blogspot.com/2005/01/atlanta-braves_15.html
So he’s got his 2m, .35 × 3 = 1.05, so add the .4 and .55 and that’s a total of 4 max. He’s still at 2 now, but should get the 400 plate appearances in the next few games.
Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010
Thanks
Though technically my post is still true. :)
Jacob Peterson - July 25, 2010
And technically correct is the best kind of correct
Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010
I'm pretty sure that's what everyone thinks
But Troy doesn’t cost $200.
RichmondBraves - July 25, 2010

Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010
Great play
JJ
UltimaParadox - July 25, 2010
JJ doesnt deserve to lose this game.
louieg - July 25, 2010
Getting Teixeira for a year was a joke. If you're going to get a great player don't just get him for a year. You might as well not get him at all.
AndyInGA - July 25, 2010
so which is it
get tex or not get tex?
atl192485 - July 25, 2010

right… Because good players don’t help in the first year on a new team. Duh.

sleezer1788 - July 25, 2010 via mobile
ERA begs to differ
TradeAndruw - July 25, 2010
not this shit again
Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010
have you watched?
other than the 4th, when it was pouring and the mound wouldn’t hold, he pitched great.
Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010
JJ pitched decent. 7 innings, 4 runs is pretty good.
AndyInGA - July 25, 2010
i hate lineouts
i always think it’s a hit and then i get a big FUCK YOU slap in the face
SouthernPanther - July 25, 2010
Where's Cantu when you need him?
FalconUdean - July 25, 2010
Damn...right at him
Scott Coleman - July 25, 2010

i think he meant ball
RichmondBraves - July 25, 2010

we should have 5 runs by now
SouthernPanther - July 25, 2010
Hensley is their one good guy out there.
He’s actually kind of nasty.

This is obviously the point in the game where no matter what FL throws, it will be called a strike.

Home plate ump
Checks his umpiring manual to see if there’s any way he can take the hit away. he has clarinet practice in 20 minutes.
RichmondBraves - July 25, 2010
No Loss in the books for JJ....
louieg - July 25, 2010
he earned at least that today
Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010
Dang, Prado has really struggled lately. He was hitting close to .340, now hitting .315
AndyInGA - July 25, 2010
please
STFU
atl192485 - July 25, 2010
that happens if he's hitting like .290 dude.
just stop
Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010
just unlucky
he’s hammering the ball just right at people…not to mention 2 HRs in the last 2 games
SouthernPanther - July 25, 2010
and like 6 in the month
kbertling353 - July 25, 2010
Not really
Prado is going through a spot where is he still hitting the ball hard, but they just aren’t falling
BravesDawg16 - July 25, 2010
Wow…only .315. What a scrub.

That may be the dumbest comment I’ve ever seen. yeah, .315 is TERRIBLE!

shift for Prado
have teams been doing that to him for awhile or just the Marlins
LEastCoastBears - July 25, 2010
what's the shift?
atl192485 - July 25, 2010
we seem good at tying games, not so much winning them

we’re awful at winning games. That’s why we’re in last place.

Someone should remind Chip you cant blow a save in the 8th

I was thinking that too
MBL1 - July 25, 2010 via mobile
Actually, you completely can.
A save situation can be any time in the 6th or later.
Jacob Peterson - July 25, 2010
this
RichmondBraves - July 25, 2010
Technically yes. However i dont think the Marlins pitcher is going to get a blow save in the books for that
louieg - July 25, 2010
actually, he will
Do you know what “technically” means?

I didn’t think Sanchez would be nearly this good. He’s impressive.

Well he is pretty slow anyway.
Jacob Peterson - July 25, 2010
He's a flyball hitter
Tends to cut down on the DPs.
There was a study someone did about variables involved in hitting into double plays, and it turns out the variably most associated with double-playing is batting right-handed.
Bronn - July 25, 2010
That's really interesting.
Jacob Peterson - July 25, 2010
Yeah, I thought so
There’s a lot of spoilers involved in the data set. One thing that you’d mentally associate with grounding into double plays is being a groundball hitter, but there’s lots of speed guys like Ichiro and Juan Pierre and Scott Podsednik (et all) who put the ball on the ground a lot and don’t hit into many double plays.
Bronn - July 25, 2010
I show him with 5
btw
Jacob Peterson - July 25, 2010
This is making me nervous. I have seen so many strikeouts looking by the Marlins that haven’t been called, and it makes it hard to be confident that we can keep them from scoring.

hahahah
wtf was that
SouthernPanther - July 25, 2010
WTHell? Late call much?
NCChopper - July 25, 2010
Freddie Freeman just jacked one for Gwinnett!!
Zeus12888 - July 25, 2010
nice
Braves24 - July 25, 2010
can't wiat for him to be manning first base...
the future is bright!!!
SouthernPanther - July 25, 2010
Freddie rules
MBL1 - July 25, 2010 via mobile
but he's weak they say, WEAAAAAAAAAAAAAK
Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010
he has no POWAH
Braves24 - July 25, 2010
He's been on fire for 2 months
And he’s 20! in AAA!
Jacob Peterson - July 25, 2010
but he had a bad wrist and had a bad month! He’s no longer a top prospect!
Scott Coleman - July 25, 2010
two top 10 prospects at the end of the year?
Teheran and Freeman? Maybe 3 if Delgado has the amazing slider he’s about to bust loose like PWHjort alludes.
Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010
Teheran definitely. But Freeman and Delgado top 25
Braves24 - July 25, 2010
Freeman may not crack the top ten
But he should be top 20
Bronn - July 25, 2010
If he ends the year, at 20 in AAA...
with an avg say 300-310+, with over an .850 ops and 20-25 HR, I think he might
Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010
As a 20-year old too…
Scott Coleman - July 25, 2010
There's more to those projections than just numbers
And people just won’t think Freeman is a super elite prospect at first base unless they think he has 40 HR potential. There’s plenty of doubt in that regard.
Bronn - July 25, 2010
Sure...
but damn if that isn’t promising Bronn, and you could argue 30+ HR projection off that. Chipper wasn’t hitting as many in the minors and he got 40+, without the frame Freddie has.
Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010
I think Freeman is great
I’m just explaining why people won’t put him in the top ten.
Bronn - July 25, 2010
gotcha
Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010
no way delgado or freeman break the top 10
but freeman will be top 25 and maybe delgado
kbertling353 - July 25, 2010
Freeman certainly could. He was 20th at the break, and that was with his average 1st half.
Scott Coleman - July 25, 2010
I believe anything PWHjort says
So yeah, it’s possible, but I doubt anyone puts 3 Braves in the top-10. They’ll be accused to being Braves fans or something.
Scott Coleman - July 25, 2010
if the numbers warrant it?...
those two rip up AA, and Freeman stays hot down the stretch for 20-25+ HR, 300+, over 850 ops, and great D.
Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010
There's a chance
I’d love it, but I don’t think it’s happening.
Scott Coleman - July 25, 2010
wasn't saying he would,
just that they could. we’ve got 4 in the top 50 (assuming the injury drops Arodys). And with a strong finish, all 4 are capable of being high in there.
Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010
Off of Jason Isringhausen
not sure if that’s good or bad
Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010

leedawg - July 25, 2010
Peter Moylan spent all offseason working on that trick pitch.
Bronn - July 25, 2010
That is the Moylan I remember!
sleezer1788 - July 25, 2010 via mobile
….did he seriously just throw the ball up in the air?
MBL1 - July 25, 2010 via mobile
yes
And I think the umpire flinched. He wanted to call it a strike.
FalconUdean - July 25, 2010
pemo isn't afraid of some fish
SouthernPanther - July 25, 2010
Moylan the BEAST shows up today!
NCChopper - July 25, 2010
Great work Moy
award6 - July 25, 2010
what happened
gameday just showed a pitch out.
RichmondBraves - July 25, 2010
k'd him
SouthernPanther - July 25, 2010
he pitched out...
kbertling353 - July 25, 2010
Well, there was a pitchout.
We were laughing b/c the ump called time as he started hit delivery, and the wall kind went…up.
AllSaintsDay - July 25, 2010
Peter Moylan is such a badass
I’d pay good money to sit with him at a Fundraiser.
Scott Coleman - July 25, 2010
me too, man
We’ve got some funny guys on this team.
Jacob Peterson - July 25, 2010
I’d want to sit with Heyward, but I’d probably just sit and smile at him.

Hi all

“Source says Nunez, Nolasco not getting traded. Uggla, Ross unlikely but not ruled out. "
that’s KRoss’s twitter.
See everyone later
GoBravesNY - July 25, 2010

SouthernPanther - July 25, 2010
jason heyward is so badass he hits walk-off HRs in away games
SouthernPanther - July 25, 2010
lol
FalconUdean - July 25, 2010
Heyward HR. McLout = ??, BMac HR
joshant - July 25, 2010
im going to go with a pop out
kbertling353 - July 25, 2010
I’ll go with strikeout.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - July 25, 2010
I’ll take “ground weakly to second.”
AllSaintsDay - July 25, 2010
no way
he’d have to make contact to do that
SouthernPanther - July 25, 2010
we have a winner
kbertling353 - July 25, 2010
winner winner
UltimaParadox - July 25, 2010
you sir are quite impressive
SouthernPanther - July 25, 2010
What can I say?
Bo knows his automatic outs.
AllSaintsDay - July 25, 2010
Jason Heyward is good at baseball
MBL1 - July 25, 2010 via mobile
Oh boy
Leo Nunez is such a douchebag.
Can we kill this fucker please?
Scott Coleman - July 25, 2010
nope. With K-Rod and A-Rod and Fielder still around, he’s got a free pass
GoBravesNY - July 25, 2010
You forgot Jose Reyes…and Nunez’s teammate, Hanley Ramirez.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - July 25, 2010
Alfonso Soriano too when he was with Washington.
Scott Coleman - July 25, 2010
Milton Bradley….Manny Ramirez….
EricGreggWasPaidOff - July 25, 2010
ew...
i hate that heyward chop-out
SouthernPanther - July 25, 2010
hey mclouth
noone on base, time to get a hit
atl192485 - July 25, 2010
lol
Changeup was somehow a ball. This is the worst ump ever.
RichmondBraves - July 25, 2010
this is honestly the worst umpiring job i've seen all season
SouthernPanther - July 25, 2010
McLouth and cody ross look like they could be brothers imo...
Maybe thats why i dont like either.
louieg - July 25, 2010
Dammit Nate
that was ball 4 you just swung at.
Jacob Peterson - July 25, 2010
Strike called a ball, ball outside called a strike.
Do these umps ever get evaluated on their accuracy?
NCChopper - July 25, 2010
Nope.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - July 25, 2010
SWINGS AT BALL 4!
Nice.
Scott Coleman - July 25, 2010
nice shades, Nate. such a dork.
MBL1 - July 25, 2010 via mobile
McL(out)h
BigG1392 - July 25, 2010
Time for a patented
Mac clutch hit.
Jacob Peterson - July 25, 2010
Why was Nate even at the plate?
NCChopper - July 25, 2010
pinch-ran for Hinske
Now why Bobby did that I have no idea.
Jacob Peterson - July 25, 2010
speed killz
BigG1392 - July 25, 2010
I missed that, thanks. But with a day off – why not use a pitcher?
NCChopper - July 25, 2010
Or anyone but Nate?
Yeah I don’t know.
Jacob Peterson - July 25, 2010
defense too
Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010
Yeah but Nate sucks on D, too.
Jacob Peterson - July 25, 2010
You mean the guy who will never throw a runner out?
NCChopper - July 25, 2010
Bobby likes him out there apparently...
don’t ask me. I said my thoughts above, Diaz/Melky > Melky/McLouth.
Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010
Pinch-running is a crapshoot anyway
Makes an actual difference probably under 10% of the time.
Bronn - July 25, 2010
Or, like here,
it hurts. Diaz pinch runs and just makes an out on the bases. Keeping Mac anchored to 1B would’ve been infinitely better.
Jacob Peterson - July 25, 2010
Yeah
This was a total waste. We’re going to miss Mac’s bat if this goes to extras, and we’ll miss having Matty available to pinch hit.
Bronn - July 25, 2010
Because JJ can’t be put back into the game
GoBravesNY - July 25, 2010
sweet lord...how can you be this bad at baseball all of the sudden
SouthernPanther - July 25, 2010
it has to be mental at this point
RichmondBraves - July 25, 2010
Thata boy Fuckface.
Scott Coleman - July 25, 2010
Has Mclouth taken that name since esco is gone?
Braves24 - July 25, 2010
Well Esco was fucknuts
I think we’re just going to cycle through the chakra.
AllSaintsDay - July 25, 2010
Yep. No one else to hate on.
Scott Coleman - July 25, 2010
why did he even swing?
he would have walked easily without even taking the bat off his shoulder. it’s not like he was gonna HIT it or anything.
RichmondBraves - July 25, 2010
this
SouthernPanther - July 25, 2010
if mac gets on base
glaus has a chance to redeem himself
atl192485 - July 25, 2010
no need for "if"
mac was gonna get on base.
RichmondBraves - July 25, 2010
first part happened
now let’s see how the second part turns out
Braves24 - July 25, 2010
What are we going to do about CF next year?
kbertling353 - July 25, 2010
If it were up to me, I'd trade for Andres Torres from San Fran
Sabean’s stupid enough to give him up for not all that much.
kbertling353 - July 25, 2010
or sign coco crisp for peanuts
kbertling353 - July 25, 2010
Willie Mays
MBL1 - July 25, 2010 via mobile

SouthernPanther - July 25, 2010
can we get rid of him yet? Cody Ross looks better by the second
Zeus12888 - July 25, 2010

MBL1 - July 25, 2010 via mobile
Oh look
BMac doesn’t swing at a ball over his head and he walks!
Scott Coleman - July 25, 2010
thats because he's good at baseball

MAC WOULDA STOLEN THAT BASE
MBL1 - July 25, 2010 via mobile
wtf
Braves24 - July 25, 2010
Question:
Why didn’t we pinch-hit Diaz for McLouth?
Scott Coleman - July 25, 2010
this
I will never understand
SouthernPanther - July 25, 2010
then we'd have noone to play CF
atl192485 - July 25, 2010
if we still had blanco...
RichmondBraves - July 25, 2010
Melky
still in left right, just move him over
UltimaParadox - July 25, 2010
Melky?
sleezer1788 - July 25, 2010 via mobile
What a waste that takes McCann out of our line-up.
FalconUdean - July 25, 2010
Would you....
Lowe and McLouth for Soriano?
Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010
Oh man.
For this year? Yes.
But geez that’d hurt in 3-4 years.
Jacob Peterson - July 25, 2010
Not just for this year...
would you pull the trigger on those two for Alfonso, knowing what he gets paid going forward and the crap he is D and locker room?
Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010
No.
Sorry, though that was implied in my response.
Really I don’t want any part of his contract
Jacob Peterson - July 25, 2010
If it gets rid of Lowe?
and McLouth? The man can produce at the plate.
Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010
can, yes
will? who knows. He was terrible last year.
Lowe and McLouth at least are owed a lot less money and fewer years. And Lowe’s not that bad.
Jacob Peterson - July 25, 2010
Just asking...
it would be a spark for this year though.
Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010
Well yeah.
I’d love to have him for just this year, like I said before.
Jacob Peterson - July 25, 2010
And like me, you don't think what he'd add this year is worth those future years.
just asking
Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010
i'd do it
if they ate some salary
kbertling353 - July 25, 2010
Hell yeah.
Scott Coleman - July 25, 2010
Oh wow…$19M in a few years. Nevermind.
Scott Coleman - July 25, 2010
getting rid of mclouth would be as impresssive as getting rid of jojo...
SouthernPanther - July 25, 2010
which soriano?
atl192485 - July 25, 2010
Alfonso
Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010
no
Soriano plays LF
Braves24 - July 25, 2010
So?
let Matty back up him and Heyward, Hinske lets Glaus take a DL stint to get healthy, and Melky/Blanco take over CF.
Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010
It doesn't help our sole problem area
Bronn - July 25, 2010
true, but who out there does?
and can we pry them loose (like McCutcheon, Braun, etc).
Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010
Well, if you can't make a move that really improves your team
It’s best to avoid making a move for the sake of JUST making a move.
Bronn - July 25, 2010
I think Soriano for Lowe and McLouth improves us right now.
Soriano > McLouth, and Lowe gets replaced by Kenny, who is his equal.
Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010
You see the fallacy you're making?
Soriano doesn’t play center, so he’s not taking McLouth’s playing time, he’s taking Hinske’s and Diaz’s, and it’s a less significant improvement.
Bronn - July 25, 2010
And he's a better hitter than they are...
plus CF can then become Melky/Blanco, which improves it.
Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010
marginal upgrade
not worth 4 years 80 million
kbertling353 - July 25, 2010
I think his bat could still be worth it next year...
it’s those last 3 that kill ya.
Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010
there isn't
a major bat available
Braves24 - July 25, 2010
just asking...
thing is, he’s about the only true impact bat NOW available NOW. I don’t think it’s worth it, unless they send like $30m with it. But I’d be tempted to ask the scouts how they thought he’d hold up the next 3 years and how he was in the locker room. Did anyone play with him in Washington or Chicago?
Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010
no
too much money, but he is having a good year. How many sb does hhe have?
Braves24 - July 25, 2010
more moylan?
atl192485 - July 25, 2010

MBL1 - July 25, 2010 via mobile
Really Troy?
Jorge F’in Sosa just struck you out.
Scott Coleman - July 25, 2010
those were three really good pitches
atl192485 - July 25, 2010
1 pitch AB
Its like a broken record
UltimaParadox - July 25, 2010
Has Troy been hanging out with Nate?
FalconUdean - July 25, 2010
Troy is just being Troy. He was overachieved the first 2 or 3 months. Now he's just playing the way we all expected him to.
AndyInGA - July 25, 2010
way overachieved i mean
AndyInGA - July 25, 2010
i agree to an extent
kbertling353 - July 25, 2010
uhhh, no
speak for yourself
atl192485 - July 25, 2010
this
Braves24 - July 25, 2010
You sure are optimistic
MBL1 - July 25, 2010 via mobile
Holy shit
We couldn’t score with this lineup if our lives depended on it. It’s seriously up to Prado and Heyward to score for us.
Scott Coleman - July 25, 2010
haha
might be true, but no faith?
Braves24 - July 25, 2010
Not with McLouth hitting 3rd, no.
Scott Coleman - July 25, 2010
valid point
Braves24 - July 25, 2010
Raw dog is raw doggin it again, watch out
Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010
Poor Troy strikes out, and no patience by Alex.
We can’t keep holding them forever, we NEED to score.
NCChopper - July 25, 2010
Troy has been rough lately
but I’m telling you, he is going to hit another tear like in May…
BravesDawg16 - July 25, 2010
wow pathetic effort there by the offense
Jtpdolphins2009 - July 25, 2010
Sosa
really..
UltimaParadox - July 25, 2010
WTF
i thought we got Gonzalez to crank out some DINERZErihury - July 25, 2010
Really?
I didn’t know he was a chef.
Bronn - July 25, 2010
wish he'd get a bomb though, just one
Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010
nope
he’s just a restuarant manager
atl192485 - July 25, 2010
Ah, okay
Well, I’m looking forward to eating at his Diners
Bronn - July 25, 2010
I thought
he was a clubhouse guy
UltimaParadox - July 25, 2010
diners? dang, I’m hungry now!
MBL1 - July 25, 2010 via mobile
Jorge Sosa
Surprisingly good at times.
Bronn - July 25, 2010
We saw that first hand
Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010
jorge sosa just 1-2-3'd us
:’(
atl192485 - July 25, 2010
It’s Nate’s fault.
MBL1 - July 25, 2010 via mobile
Sosa is a 1 inning guy... right?

let's hope not...

DAMNIT NATE MCLOUTH ALWAYS MESSES UP!
Scott Coleman - July 25, 2010
venters should not be pitching
kbertling353 - July 25, 2010
is this three straight days?
Braves24 - July 25, 2010
two
atl192485 - July 25, 2010
why not
Venters is the new Moylan
Erihury - July 25, 2010
his arm will fall off soon
MBL1 - July 25, 2010 via mobile
whatever
Bobby will just tell him to rub some dirt on it and keep pitching
Erihury - July 25, 2010
What? He has another arm…
EricGreggWasPaidOff - July 25, 2010
he's about to get at least 3 days off, possibly 5
day off plus his suspension will start tuesday
leedawg - July 25, 2010
If I was KK
I’d just take cigars and a 12-pack out to the bullpen and take it easy.
Scott Coleman - July 25, 2010
It’s not like he’s gonna get to pitch…..not even sure why he bothers putting on a uniform.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - July 25, 2010
exactly. but he can’t complain, he’s getting paid a lot of money.
MBL1 - July 25, 2010 via mobile
How many innings will Venters go?
1, or 2?
Bronn - July 25, 2010
he threw 2 last night
and pretty much pitches every day
kbertling353 - July 25, 2010
Bobby thinks relief pitchers have a short shelf-life and their usage has to be maximized before they expire.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - July 25, 2010
I guess I don't understand
He can’t pitch two days in a row?
Bronn - July 25, 2010
he threw 40 something pitches yesterday
kbertling353 - July 25, 2010
He had 2 days off before that.
Bronn - July 25, 2010

If Rossy can get on
he has Prado and Heyward behind him. That could work.

RichmondBraves - July 25, 2010
Agreed
New World Brave - July 25, 2010
Yeah, I think most of us just consider that a given.
AllSaintsDay - July 25, 2010
Aww, you’re gonna make me blush.
And that ain’t easy to do. ;-)
NCChopper - July 25, 2010
Responses like this are also part of why she's one of the coolest chicks ever.

Agreed.

Aww . . . lol
New World Brave - July 25, 2010
The real question, though . . .
do you dig the long ball??
New World Brave - July 25, 2010
Good timing Martin!
Bronn - July 25, 2010
if they were smart, they'd walk Odarp and J-Hey
because McLouth would hit into a double play
leedawg - July 25, 2010

they’d intentionally walk Heyward.

McLouth your fired
Jtpdolphins2009 - July 25, 2010
I want him OFF my team
NCChopper - July 25, 2010
can;t blame him for that, he did rip it hard...
just unfortunately went right to some body. 5 feet to the left, and we love him
Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010
you sort of can blame him
lingsched - July 25, 2010
Any other time, he Ks or jacks a fly ball.
Either one of those would only be 1 out.
NCChopper - July 25, 2010
just saying chop...
that was a bit of bad luck
Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010
And the fly ball is pretty much what you’re trying to do there.

Nate you are truly worthless

That was negative value right there.

the post that said we should have PH Hudson
was spot on
DCP916 - July 25, 2010
I don't care how hard he hit the ball, the fact is he hit it at the wrong place. Why is McLouth even in our lineup anymore ? He should be a bench player at best .
AndyInGA - July 25, 2010
he came off the bench dipshit
Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010
+1
Braves24 - July 25, 2010
auditioning him for a trade…..except he’s getting more and more worthless
GT_Thrashfan - July 25, 2010
Gregor Blanco wouldn't have done that
RichmondBraves - July 25, 2010
He would've bunted!
Pavy848 - July 25, 2010

Why didn’t we pinch hit?

he WAS the pinch hitter...
GT_Thrashfan - July 25, 2010
No
He pinch ran earlier.

Nate McLouth is seriously ruining our chances of running away with the NL East.
Scott Coleman - July 25, 2010
Let's just get this game over. We've blown too many opportunities. We should have swept this series, but instead it looks like we may lose 2 of 3.

RichmondBraves - July 25, 2010
NO! NO! NO!
take him out. now.
MBL1 - July 25, 2010 via mobile
And there's the patented Chavez letdown...
AuditDawg - July 25, 2010
This series has just been disgusting. We came close to being swept, yet at the same time we came close to sweeping.
AndyInGA - July 25, 2010
are you new to baseball or something?
lingsched - July 25, 2010
See everyone on Tuesday
I don’t really care who the fuck is in CF. As long as it’s not Nate McLouth, I’ll be happy.
Scott Coleman - July 25, 2010
fuck
USE KK BEFORE CHAVEZ
Braves24 - July 25, 2010
If we get out of this...
steeeeezzzzzz - July 25, 2010
we wont…
Hektor DiPaula - July 25, 2010
if the braves win this… ill dance Naked
Hektor DiPaula - July 25, 2010
I'm dancing naked in order to win this game!
New World Brave - July 25, 2010
Well
Fuck. Hopefully FW does something after this game as far as Nasty Nate
award6 - July 25, 2010

so hyped on Murphy
steeeeezzzzzz - July 25, 2010
How much longer does the McOut experiment go on. He’s absolutely worthless
samxrm - July 25, 2010
is it possible to credit nate with the loss?
haha, i know we had other let downs with the bases loaded… but it just feels right
lingsched - July 25, 2010
where's Craig Kimrel when you need him?
ByrneSupremacy - July 25, 2010
Kimbrel even
ByrneSupremacy - July 25, 2010
yea really
kbertling353 - July 25, 2010
walking the bases loaded
then striking out the side in AAA
RichmondBraves - July 25, 2010
trade mclouth for wes helms right now
then he’ll be next up, forceout and home and nate out at first on the dp. then deal with the next guy.
RichmondBraves - July 25, 2010
GET THESE TWO FUCKOFFS OFF OUR TEAM NOW
Zeus12888 - July 25, 2010
$5 says
Fly ball to McLouth and he makes an awful throw home.
Scott Coleman - July 25, 2010
he
was taken out of the game
UltimaParadox - July 25, 2010
if he even throws it
WisdomVendor - July 25, 2010
no, shallow fly
then he doesn’t throw at all
he seems to do that
kbertling353 - July 25, 2010
he's out...
double switch so Infante would leadoff nexxt inning
Mr. Sanchez - July 25, 2010
Chavez
Really can not pitch in pressure situations. He’s only good from the 5-7 when we’re either up big or down big.
murph35 - July 25, 2010
Noticed that
steeeeezzzzzz - July 25, 2010
Why is Chavez in and not KK?
BullManUGA - July 25, 2010
lets all pray to heyward
MBL1 - July 25, 2010 via mobile
Well, the only positive that can come from this is hopefully Nate will not see any playing time
fingers crossed
jjhova12 - July 25, 2010
We need to trade McClouth and Chavez. They kill this team.
Daniel Stribling - July 25, 2010
no one will take them. send them to Gwinett.

never trade for pirates players.

He’d probably start sucking as soon as he put on a Braves uniform.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - July 25, 2010
First series loses to NL team since May 10
joshant - July 25, 2010
fangraphs had way too much fun with this series…..
abraves - July 25, 2010
That’s ok. I can live with 1 series loss a month
eaheckman10 - July 25, 2010
It's not all McClouth though
Glaus also hit a Inning ending DP a couple innings ago
jjhova12 - July 25, 2010
Glaus
Also has contributed this year. Mclouth hasnt
murph35 - July 25, 2010
sure
but a culmination of consecutive mclouth fails builds up to intense hatred
atl192485 - July 25, 2010
The difference
Glaus has actually contributed something meaningful to this team for an extended period of time.
AuditDawg - July 25, 2010
with the bases loaded
that is why I dont understand why you dont bunt in that situation to try and get the guy home from 3rd
Especially in the 6th when a speedy Heyward was on 3rd
Jtpdolphins2009 - July 25, 2010
I'm talking strictly today..
Trust me, I have as much disdain for McClouth as everyone else here
jjhova12 - July 25, 2010
Unbelieveable. Simply stunning.
Zeus12888 - July 25, 2010
we all saw that coming after the DP...
Hektor DiPaula - July 25, 2010
It's been fun!
Wait, no it hasn’t. Hope the rest of the road trip goes better than this, and that Mclouth and Chavez aren’t on the team by the time we come back home.
murph35 - July 25, 2010
Bobby blew this one
he makes way to many changes and leaves us with garbage in extra innings. no reason to pinch run for hinske with a runner in front of him. mclouth isnt even a defensive upgrade. and worst of all, we were losing at the time. you don’t make defensive swaps when you’re losing. and the chavez decision is incomprehensible.
ruxsin - July 25, 2010
please
you can’t blame bobby for non-execution
atl192485 - July 25, 2010
Well, he certainly didn't manage his best game
Pinch running for McCann cost us since Diaz was quickly caught stealing, and then we had the pitcher on deck in that 11th instead of Mac (not that it mattered). Pinch running for Hinske really did hurt us because we didn’t score out of that, and as a result, we had McLouth up instead of Hinske in the 11th. And then instead of using Wagner in the 11th, he used Chavez.
Bronn - July 25, 2010
i'm not blaiming him for non-execution
i’m blaming him for making a few bad decisions at the end of the game. he over-managed this one.
ruxsin - July 25, 2010
Seriously
the 2 weak links of this team were in at the worst possible times… I feel sick
BravesDawg16 - July 25, 2010
Held 'em from the 4th inning - but LOB and lack of hitting with RISP failed us again.
NCChopper - July 25, 2010
Why McLout, Chavez are still in this team??
joshant - July 25, 2010
Correction: Why are McLouth and Chavez still on this team?
-The Grammar Nazi
MBL1 - July 25, 2010 via mobile
If McLouth is still playing in Atlanta next Sunday I will be very angry.
BullManUGA - July 25, 2010
we cant trade Nate
we don’t want to cut him because of his salary can we come up with another Phantom injury and send him to AAA DO IT WREN
Erihury - July 25, 2010
Trade
him to the Mets for Frenchie!!! lol
AlabamaTitans2009 - July 25, 2010
at this point? eh why not?
a .190 batting average would be lightyears ahead of McLouth ha
GT_Thrashfan - July 25, 2010
Nate with the -.409 WPA and Jesse with the -.351 WPA
ByrneSupremacy - July 25, 2010
McLouth cost us this series. I’ve seen enough of him.
sleezer1788 - July 25, 2010 via mobile
I’m so sick of McLouth and Chavez. stupid Pirates. I don’t want to seem so negative but they’ve GOT to go. I think one of them will be traded soon.
MBL1 - July 25, 2010 via mobile
they don't have value to trade.
Kobe:The Legend - July 25, 2010
2 reasons why we lost the series
Billy Wagner blown save. He has won us games so Iwillforgive him
McLouth – How does thisguy have a job??? Diaz/Hinske-Cabrera- Heyward.
who do we still have him??
shearer16 - July 25, 2010

oVecKid - July 25, 2010 via mobile
you cant win when you let 4 times the bases loaded and dont score
joshant - July 25, 2010
didnt
we score 1 run lol
Erihury - July 25, 2010
offensive powerhouse
RichmondBraves - July 25, 2010
Can’t win with McOut
Joseph_C - July 25, 2010
to me McLouth should be off this team
bring up Blanco, who was actually contributing when he was up
I dont get it, you know the Phillies will make a run, we cannot have any weak links on our team if we expect to win the division
McLouth is the weakest link, he should be gone immediately
Jtpdolphins2009 - July 25, 2010
Schafer anyone?
Much better options than McClouth, but hell even Gregor Blanco is a better option at this point. For some reason Bobby was obligated to bring in Jesse “3 run” Chavez.
Ninerballin - July 25, 2010
Shafer
was demoted to AA. He’s been awful this year.
RichmondBraves - July 25, 2010
The Schafer that just got sent down to AA because he sucked at AAA?
FalconUdean - July 25, 2010
Yea that same Schafer,
I still think Schafer will end up being a pretty good MLB player when it is all said and done. Hell, McClouth didn’t exactly tear it up in AAA and he’s playing like he should be at Myrtle Beach rather than Atlanta.
Ninerballin - July 25, 2010
he might be a headcase at this point
Especially since he had to be demoted down to AA. In fairness though it’s hard to argue that’d be worse than McLouth right now….
GT_Thrashfan - July 25, 2010
You mean the Schafer who was just demoted to AA? No thanks. I’d rather have Matt Young over Schafer, Nate or Melky.
MBL1 - July 25, 2010 via mobile
at this point
we should just hand Nate and KK a check for $10 million and say “have a nice life” and not even let them on the plane out of town.
I don’t want their stench of failure in our clubhouse.
DCP916 - July 25, 2010
leave KK alone, I think he will be fine in the bullpen
Jtpdolphins2009 - July 25, 2010
As long as they do not bring him into the game.
FalconUdean - July 25, 2010
KK is better than Chavez, by far
Jtpdolphins2009 - July 25, 2010
why the hate on KK?
ByrneSupremacy - July 25, 2010
I would have preffered KK better than Chavez here.
Kobe:The Legend - July 25, 2010
Agreed
Daniel Stribling - July 25, 2010
hell
i would have preferred Omar pitching then Chavez
Erihury - July 25, 2010
also agree
GT_Thrashfan - July 25, 2010
The braves need to pick it up. Washington is always a struggle. They need a sweep right now. The Braves are 5-5 since the all star break. Not acceptable.
Daniel Stribling - July 25, 2010
Which players are leaving most RISP? I think it’s McLouth and Glaus—but I’m not sure.
Joseph_C - July 25, 2010
More trolls….if we won the World Series the trolls would complain.
MBL1 - July 25, 2010 via mobile
didn't win by enough runs, didn't sweep, didn't have 4 shutouts, etc...
leedawg - July 25, 2010
don't forget, it's a failure if we didn't win 4 times in 3 games :P
GT_Thrashfan - July 25, 2010
I hope the Phillies game gets rained out lol
it would be an official game and the Rockies are up 3-2
GOOOOO ROCKIES AND DODGERS!!!
Jtpdolphins2009 - July 25, 2010
I don’t cheer for anybody other than the Braves……….I just chant “LETS LOSE PHILLES—LETS LOSE” etc.
Joseph_C - July 25, 2010
Ohhh Ladies - Men's Beach Volleyball on TV right now...
Just sayin’
NCChopper - July 25, 2010

MBL1 - July 25, 2010 via mobile
who's playing?
Kobe:The Legend - July 25, 2010
Frustrating series... I hope we can fare better vs. Nats
.
NCChopper - July 25, 2010
I hate off days.
Joseph_C - July 25, 2010
This week should be swept against Padres and Marlins but,
Wagner blown 2 games and McLout 1
joshant - July 25, 2010
Bobby on Nate : He couldn't have hit the ball any better
Maybe he could’ve hit it in the air?
kbertling353 - July 25, 2010
Bobby’s just too nice sometimes….
Joseph_C - July 25, 2010
This
Worries me. Hopefully they aren’t seeing something good in him and want to ride out the bad for the rest of the season.. Call it like it is, Bobby!!
murph35 - July 25, 2010
Stop whining already.
Only the second series loss in 20 something series and you guys wont just take it as it is, a series that we fell behind in each three games battled back but only came away with one game. Did we play horrible? No,but we didnt exactly play well. And i may be alone but ill take this McLouth over the one two months ago. At least this one makes contact and hits more than infield flys. That DP was a little unlucky and yet only one of you have even mentioned the fact McLouth squared that ball up.
AvoidTheDolphin - July 25, 2010
Does Mclouth even have a hit since he came back?
I’d rather have Gregor Blanco than Mclouth.
RichmondBraves - July 25, 2010
1 hit
kbertling353 - July 25, 2010
That is sick.
Joseph_C - July 25, 2010
ric flair
atl192485 - July 25, 2010
He has one hit
But it was a broken bat bloop
BravesDawg16 - July 25, 2010
It's not that we lost, I dont think.
I think a lot of us are more frustrated by Mclouth and Chavez. We had chances today, and as a team we didnt pull through. But Mclouth, at this point, really is bringing the team down by his ineptness
murph35 - July 25, 2010
I agree with the “stop whining” part—but I think most Braves fans are tired of McLouth, including me. I liked Gregor Blanco.
Joseph_C - July 25, 2010
I can see why people are tired of it but look at J-Hey. It took him an entire series of play till he started producing again. And I honestly think that hits will start coming for McLouth since he is making more contact since returning.
AvoidTheDolphin - July 25, 2010
We’ll see I suppose…
Joseph_C - July 25, 2010
McLout can record a lost or at least the "blown win"??
joshant - July 25, 2010
can we package McL and JC
for like a any minor league player that has talent?
jdeuel3868 - July 25, 2010
Anyone watching the Braves postgame?
Apparently Nate is a pretty boy, loves the tanning bed too.. tool.
murph35 - July 25, 2010
Just another reason to hate him....
I heard he was a f’n Natzi!!!!!!!!!!
AvoidTheDolphin - July 25, 2010
No “t” in Nazi.
Joseph_C - July 25, 2010
Why do we play so bad against the Marlins? I mean—if we had saved our bad plays for the nationals games we’d be better off…
Joseph_C - July 25, 2010
well we are 6-4 against the marlins this season.
Kobe:The Legend - July 25, 2010
5-4 actually
atl192485 - July 25, 2010
yeah, I was wrong.
