Oh, that’s right. Dusty Baker was instrumental in setting up that epic rally the Braves had back in May – by taking Rhodes out after the one batter. Sorry – my memory plays tricks on me.
If Glaus doesn’t turn it around, we might could still get him. He’d have to clear waivers, though…
Actually, I think there was something on MLBTR (or some other trade rumor site), specifically about LaRoche still having a high chance of being traded after the deadline.
hahaha
Sutton said earlier “This is a good hitter’s ballpark. The ball carries well, and the walls are short and not very tall.”
huh? That sounds like something Yogi would say
Well, in all fairness, if we hadn’t been so awful with RISP today, Hinske probably would have still batted. Or at least Diaz would have, so we wouldn’t have had to use Chipper there.
Well, like I said, with KK never pitching anymore, some unfortunate soul had to take his place on top of the list of the unlucky. Tommy must have drawn the short straw.
So, Gonzalez’ average has dropped since coming to Atlanta…I mean, I hate a bad attitude as much as anyone, but if you are winning, and have the best record in baseball since last July, who really cares?
There are at least 4 or 5 of these guys that I would rather have, and that doesn't include possible trade candidates.
Shortstops
Alfredo Amezaga (33)
Orlando Cabrera (36) – $4MM mutual option with a $500K-$1MM buyout

That trade is either going to have no impact or a huge positive impact. How could you not like a trade that has those results as the only possible outcomes?
It’s most likely that a guy who has never pitched in the majors before becomes a useful reliever, but not that a guy who has already had success in the majors makes a large impact in a position of need for us? I have to say I definitely disagree.
and we know Farns > Chavez, that makes us better RIGHT NOW, and we’re going for it RIGHT NOW. Tim Collins may or may not become a MLB player, but what’s definite is that deal improved THIS YEAR’s team.
When you see a commercial for a regional sports show with a semi-attractive “reporter,” and you can google them and within the first 25 results there will be a bikini picture.
This road trip has been a horrible combination of awful luck, bad hitting with RISP, and bad defense in important spots. I can’t wait to be back in Atlanta.
And that’s why I don’t think the Braves or Phillies are a big threat to win the World Series. Teams like the Yankees that play well on the road are the kinds of teams that will most likely win the WS.
UGH! freakin defense…sorry A-Gon…you’re a solid SS but this game is on you, even if you hit a homer. why does the defense always fail on tommy….
just beat the mets. i believe in this team.
I haven’t been this mad at the team all year. What complete horse shit. Two days in a row defense has fucked us in the ass combined with a complete lack of ability to hit the ball with people on base. Fucking hell.
on the bright side, we still have a lead in the NL East
a solid homestand (which means better than that last one) will make us all feel that much better in a hurry
Seems to me like we can’t catch a break anywhere. The Reds catch one break, and it happens to be with a runner on third. Us… no way… all we know how to do is strand an ass-ton of runners all day long. Sorry… that’s my rant. This team makes me sick.
Man, do the debbie downers come out of the wood works or what? Seriously people, we are still in first place and have 14 out of the next 17 games at home. This stuff happens. I still believe in this team and so should you. They can’t win them all!
I just needed to let it out. Every time we lose games like this, it makes me sick to my stomach. We’re better than this. Good things need to start happening again.
Lest we forget the month of April when the sky was falling! Then May and June rolled around and we couldn’t lose a series! Baseball is cyclical and if this is the worst the Braves are gonna do, then I can’t wait for the stretch run!

We need to get our hands on some invisibility cloaks to use so our guys won’t realize there’s people on base when they are hitting.

/gives you a cookie
MBL1 - August 1, 2010 via mobile
And here we were berating the Nats for trading away half of their team before meeting the Phils.
carpengui - August 1, 2010
I wish his defense weren’t historically awful, and the Nats didn’t want the universe for him.
I’d love to see him in a Braves uniform.
UMDBHIK - August 1, 2010
why
didnt we sign that guy when he was a FA?
Erihury - August 1, 2010
We had Thorman.
UMDBHIK - August 1, 2010

Well, in all fairness, if we hadn’t been so awful with RISP today, Hinske probably would have still batted. Or at least Diaz would have, so we wouldn’t have had to use Chipper there.

he should have been 18-7

Come on. We can draw walks after 1-2 counts, but then swing at balls on 3-1 counts. I guess that’s why we are having a hard time scoring runs.
sleezer1788 - August 1, 2010
Rick Ankiel bout to get a huge fanbase here!
KINGSLYTUT - August 1, 2010
So, Gonzalez’ average has dropped since coming to Atlanta…I mean, I hate a bad attitude as much as anyone, but if you are winning, and have the best record in baseball since last July, who really cares?
justincredubil02 - August 1, 2010
Wren did obviously,
Mr. Sanchez - August 1, 2010
I know. I don’t criticize the man much at all, but I hate that move. Easily his worst as a GM so far.
I really hope we don’t pick up Alex’s option for next season.
justincredubil02 - August 1, 2010
I do,...
the FA market for SS doesn’t look that good.
Mr. Sanchez - August 1, 2010
neither does a 34 year old Alex Gonzalez.
justincredubil02 - August 1, 2010
Find a better option
Mr. Sanchez - August 1, 2010
you can't
kbertling353 - August 1, 2010
Well, Yunel was a better option for one, and I am pretty sure that I can find any number of capable SS who have an OBP above .295.
Gimme 20 seconds, and I will look.
justincredubil02 - August 1, 2010
consider defense and power as well
and yes, most everyone knows that yunel was a better player
but he’s gone and we’ll definitely need to pick up that option
kbertling353 - August 1, 2010
There are at least 4 or 5 of these guys that I would rather have, and that doesn't include possible trade candidates.
Shortstops
Alfredo Amezaga (33)
Orlando Cabrera (36) – $4MM mutual option with a $500K-$1MM buyout
Juan Castro (39)
Alex Cora (35) – $2MM option vests with 80 games
Craig Counsell (40)

Jose Reyes (28) – $11MM club option with a $500K buyout

Jeter and Reyes, Gonzalez looks like the best on that list to me.
Mr. Sanchez - August 1, 2010
I’d take O-Cab, Cora, Crosby, Everett, Green, Guzman, Hairston Jr, Izturis, Lugo, Peralta,Edgar and Tejada over him.
justincredubil02 - August 1, 2010
you're out of your mind
kbertling353 - August 1, 2010
of the players we could realistically get
(i.e. not jeter, jose reyes)
he’s near the top of the list
and 2.5 MM is a bargain
kbertling353 - August 1, 2010
i don't think he's a great SS
but 2.5 MM is dirt cheap
we should definitely pick it up
kbertling353 - August 1, 2010
its the same FYI
KINGSLYTUT - August 1, 2010
Are you sure about that? I am pretty sure it was something like .265 at the time of the trade.
justincredubil02 - August 1, 2010
i thought it was .259?
KINGSLYTUT - August 1, 2010
He did drive in our only run today.

HEYJUDE - August 1, 2010
You mean the guy with the Homer today?
And the one who’s been sick/hospital?
I’m willing to give him a bit more time since he’s been solid in defense.
NCChopper - August 1, 2010
He shouldn’t even be playing today, but he is and doing his best.
HEYJUDE - August 1, 2010
To be fair, his defense caused us to be losing today.
justincredubil02 - August 1, 2010
I blame your defeatist attitude...
that’s the problem.
Mr. Sanchez - August 1, 2010
Granted. But if Jason hadn’t dived on the play before, we may be tied.
I see all the points, but I’m just not ready to say it was a bad deal yet.

EricGreggWasPaidOff - August 1, 2010
this
BravesDawg16 - August 1, 2010
ya but he is what we thought he was
he’s the same player that KC had and that’s not a very good one.
Jaymin Patel - August 1, 2010
………………..
EricGreggWasPaidOff - August 1, 2010
it's fact
whether you like it or not really has no impact
kbertling353 - August 1, 2010
That trade is either going to have no impact or a huge positive impact. How could you not like a trade that has those results as the only possible outcomes?
sleezer1788 - August 1, 2010
what's most likely is that neither contribute more than .5 WAR
then Tim Collins becomes a useful reliever
It’s not disastrous by any means, but it still was a net move in the wrong direction.
You’re right that it doesn’t matter a whole lot, but it is disconcerting that Wren thinks it improves our team
kbertling353 - August 1, 2010
It’s most likely that a guy who has never pitched in the majors before becomes a useful reliever, but not that a guy who has already had success in the majors makes a large impact in a position of need for us? I have to say I definitely disagree.
sleezer1788 - August 1, 2010
If Ankiel > Blanco...
and we know Farns > Chavez, that makes us better RIGHT NOW, and we’re going for it RIGHT NOW. Tim Collins may or may not become a MLB player, but what’s definite is that deal improved THIS YEAR’s team.
Mr. Sanchez - August 1, 2010
Yes and yes.
Tim Collins is a minor league reliever….odds of him even making it to the majors aren’t favorable.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - August 1, 2010
all minor leaguers aren't the same
the guy has a 14 k/9 career rate
he’s been lights out at every level
that’d be like trading minor then saying it was unlikely he ever made it to the majors
collins will be in the mlb at some point next year
kbertling353 - August 1, 2010
I disagree. He could very easily struggle in AAA. He could injure himself, due to his screwy mechanics. Any number of things could happen.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - August 1, 2010
farnsworth and ankiel not contributing anything to this team
are at least as likely as those things happening
kbertling353 - August 1, 2010
They’ll contribute more than Chavez and McLouth. I’ll bet my life on that.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - August 1, 2010
Chavez and Blanco you mean

Sorry, yes.

So do I, but not certain

last year was a pleasant surprise
greinke and pothead won without winning all that many games

As much I detest your description
I would watch a series called Greinke and Pothead.
TheLetter2 - August 1, 2010
do you guys have nicknames for timmy?

Mostly just “Timmy.”

so she’s on facebook and twitter? That’s some lazy journalism.
Mr. Sanchez - August 1, 2010
well TC

MBL1 - August 1, 2010 via mobile
Wow...i can't believe Tommy won't get the win today.
Great effort kid.
Scott Coleman - August 1, 2010
well its obvious whats going on
the team doesnt like Tommy and wants him traded. That is why we arent scoring him any RUNZ
Erihury - August 1, 2010
or committing those errors behind him
LEastCoastBears - August 1, 2010
Well if past events are any evidence of what is going on, they don’t want him traded. They want him moved to bullpen and never used.
sleezer1788 - August 1, 2010
lol +1
kbertling353 - August 1, 2010
no way
we are just gonna trade him to the Yankees for Joba Chamberlain or Bernie Williams

Please at least tie to get Cyborg out of the loss column
jdeuel3868 - August 1, 2010
Cyborg
He could write a country song called “Hard Luck Loser”
UMDBHIK - August 1, 2010
KK wrote that song and has been sitting in the bullpen singing it for a while now….
EricGreggWasPaidOff - August 1, 2010
Along with Chavez—but they kicked him off the team because he sang off-key.
Joseph_C - August 1, 2010
We put Venters in to Vulture the win. The offense needs to understand the plan and follow through on it.

This road trip has been a horrible combination of awful luck, bad hitting with RISP, and bad defense in important spots. I can’t wait to be back in Atlanta.

See how I worked that in there?
TheLetter2 - August 1, 2010
Is anyone concerned about our inability to play well on the road ? Could that hurt us come playoff time ?
BravesFan2010 - August 1, 2010
Yep. It will. Gotta step up somehow.
Joseph_C - August 1, 2010
It will hurt us
For sure
asset - August 1, 2010
The Phils are doig the same thing. Lost like 13 of 17 on the road.
Duff_Man - August 1, 2010
And that’s why I don’t think the Braves or Phillies are a big threat to win the World Series. Teams like the Yankees that play well on the road are the kinds of teams that will most likely win the WS.
BravesFan2010 - August 1, 2010
Not if we have home field advantage through the whole postseason!!
EricGreggWasPaidOff - August 1, 2010
most teams (even contenders) have crappy road records
LEastCoastBears - August 1, 2010
so we should try to get homefield
Padres are still 2-3 games up on us
LEastCoastBears - August 1, 2010
Yankees and Rays are excellent on the road. They are also probably the 2 best teams in baseball.
BravesFan2010 - August 1, 2010
Ibanez completely out. That's a good thing. Go Nats!
Duff_Man - August 1, 2010
What's wrong with him?
Out for the season?

UGH! freakin defense…sorry A-Gon…you’re a solid SS but this game is on you, even if you hit a homer. why does the defense always fail on tommy….
just beat the mets. i believe in this team.
MBL1 - August 1, 2010 via mobile
I want to, but right now, I do NOT believe in their offense.
oVecKid - August 1, 2010
It was a fail, but if the triple (that should have been kept to a double) didn’t happen it would be tied and we may still be playing.
NCChopper - August 1, 2010
philies like dont even have any1 left to pinch hit and its the 8th inning
lund123 - August 1, 2010
26th error by desmond, 2nd of the game

Sorry TP
LEastCoastBears - August 1, 2010
then fire hitting coach
joshant - August 1, 2010
I was gonna make a conversion rate joke, but wouldnt work that way.
oVecKid - August 1, 2010
maybe ankiel will bring his juice to the lineup… and by juice…
lund123 - August 1, 2010
It's their park
that is why Alex gad 17 homers by the All-Star break
bravesforever16 - August 1, 2010
I haven’t been this mad at the team all year. What complete horse shit. Two days in a row defense has fucked us in the ass combined with a complete lack of ability to hit the ball with people on base. Fucking hell.
BullManUGA - August 1, 2010 via mobile
I feel the same.
Frustrating to watch. I am used to the offense sucking at times. But damn the defense. Errors cost us a few games on this trip
asset - August 1, 2010
Yep
the passed ball (but got to blame that on Wags) in FL
and then the two Tommy Hanson starts
If we somehow wins these 3, we’ll all be here saying how good this team is to win 3 road series in a row
LEastCoastBears - August 1, 2010
Definitely a frustrating road trip
on the bright side, we still have a lead in the NL East
a solid homestand (which means better than that last one) will make us all feel that much better in a hurry
LEastCoastBears - August 1, 2010
escobar is up right now bottom of the 9th man on 2nd 1 out
lund123 - August 1, 2010

yesterday, only RBI came from a walk and today from HR.

Seems to me like we can’t catch a break anywhere. The Reds catch one break, and it happens to be with a runner on third. Us… no way… all we know how to do is strand an ass-ton of runners all day long. Sorry… that’s my rant. This team makes me sick.

with this offense, the only way to win is shuting down the oponent
joshant - August 1, 2010
Absolutely right
and shitty defense has been the cause of a few losses. Can’t let that happen when you aren’t hitting for shit
asset - August 1, 2010

Man, do the debbie downers come out of the wood works or what? Seriously people, we are still in first place and have 14 out of the next 17 games at home. This stuff happens. I still believe in this team and so should you. They can’t win them all!

This.
Some times you just have to let out your frustrations. But we are still in first and its not over till its over and today wasn’t the end
asset - August 1, 2010
Agreed.
I just needed to let it out. Every time we lose games like this, it makes me sick to my stomach. We’re better than this. Good things need to start happening again.

And they will
Lest we forget the month of April when the sky was falling! Then May and June rolled around and we couldn’t lose a series! Baseball is cyclical and if this is the worst the Braves are gonna do, then I can’t wait for the stretch run!
