Dont need Aramis Ramirez..Let Omar play ball

Fantastic at-bat by Omar.

Not so great defense by Kemp.

It was a great at bat indeed.

TRIPLE for Omar!

Shenanigans

You need to have clip art that says “triple”. That’s just lazy :)

lazy journalism. You’ve already been here too much

They must not have rolodexes in Philly.

;-)

Somehow, you just got naughiter. Didn’t think that was possible

Me? Didn’t you hear, I’m not naughty anymore.

Really? A change of heart? You know Santa doesn’t come until December right?

So, that means I have 4 more months!

Lucky. I have just over 3 weeks

Sorry, missed your reply – why just 3 weeks?

Jewish stuff. That’s when the new year comes

Ahhh, gotcha. Happy New Year!

Thank you. Albeit early. You’ll know when it comes because there will be like 1 NAHWAL post for 4 days

GTFO

C'mon Heyward...

just put a charge into one adn get it in the outfield…

Done!

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so close!@2#$%@$#%$#@

robbed

wow

I’ll take it though

FREAKIN ETHIER

MBL1 - August 16, 2010 via mobile reply

F U ETHIER!

robbed Heyward twice!

shit i thought that was gone

Oh daaaaaaamn

What a play by Ethier!

Yet, we’re tied now. Awesome.

was it going to be out of the park?

or just an xbh somewhere?

15ks - August 16, 2010 reply

would've hit right near the top of the wall

would've been off the top of the wall

That’s a great catch. But an RBI anywho

Ethier nooooooooo!

Get out of my head, Ethier!

THERE IT IS!

Good job, Heyward.

Burn in hell ethier.

Damn! Can Jason hit it to someone else? ROBBED

someone like Kemp

WHAT a catch

Fudge, a loud out, but at least we tied it.

wow we got a run, should have been 2 though lol

Though he's gotten robbed, at least he's making solid contact!

Ethier is good. Just be glad he’s not a yankee, like he eventually will be once they discover him.

Frenchy made that comment about Hanson

god i hope not

he’s one of my favorite non-braves

One of the most clutch hitters in the game today

Heyward has killed two balls tonight to RF

but no luck. Oh well.

He’s got that Kelly Johnson luck.

+2

I gotta say that was an amazin catch…but I want to punch somethinf

MBL1 - August 16, 2010 via mobile reply

J-HEY!!!

BTW, did anyone see Eli Manning just get lit up!?!?!

Yes.

I loved it

Me too

That was great, Jacobs is a dumbass

Time for Heap to get in on the offense.

HR plz BMac

Lets go Heap

LETS GO BMAC!!

Guyz… HR scores Heap

Well, one is better than none.

Damn, I wish we could get Tommy a win though.

billingsley up to 90 pitches

let’s knock him out next inning

Braves Pen > Dodgers Pen = Advantage: Braves

sad, but true.

this is not tennis

no advantages. only runz

Advantage: Pioline. /Virtua Tennis

and Dodgers offense ≈ Braves offense.

Alright lets get a 1,2,3 inning here

get the offense back out there

It's the 7th inning!

Which means Brooksy’s now in BEAST MODE.

wow nice...that guy was doing the thriller dance w/o a shirt in the rain

that girl belongs in the original thriller video….yikes

Question

Who has had less run support over, say, the past 7 starts- Felix or Hanson?

gotta be hanson

its been awful 0-3 over the past 5 starts while posting a sub 2 ERA

Felix has been doing just about the same

i think its almost sub 1

1.34 ERA

Cole Hamels says “hi”

Oh, I was just comparing pitchres that aren’t just good for a couple months [snide #1]

lol

Hamels has lost his last 2 starts 1-0.

9 runs of support last 7 starts

4 starts with 0 RS, one start with 1 run, 4 in the other two

nice

and…he picked the perfect time to be studly.

Hanson: 15 runs in 7 starts (counting tonight)

Felix: 5 runs in 7 starts

Poor Felix.

wow

0 run support

in 4 of the 7 starts

man

Poor King Felix

whoops

Tommy’s at 13 runs, not 15. Point still holds.

what about while he's in the game>

cuase does that include the 6 run 10th inning we had?

no

it’s only while he can get the benefit of the runs.

Wow. I liked Felix anyway, but now I tip my cap to him

just started watching the game (out to dinner)

how close was JHEY to getting a HR on the sac-fly?

extremely close to double. about 4’ from HR.

think it would have hit off the wall...

but close none the less

pretty close but

would’ve bounced off the top of the wall

did either make a nice catch?

nice is an understatement.

really nice

will be all over the highlight reels tomorrow

damn...

was his 1st AB any close to being a HR?

just saw it...damnit

Beltran just got his 2nd HR of the year. 1-0 mets.

Now they choose to score

against Stros

kinda pointless game right now

METS GET BELTRAN BACK

METS WILL WIN NL EAST

He cleared waivers apparently.

im sure if he was on waivers, they were revocable.

Yes.

But he cleared them. My point is, he can be traded if anyone wants him.

overpaid

why was he put on waivers?

Almost everyone gets put on waivers in August

what's the point?

Provides flexibility

You want to be able to trade people if needed.

In Beltran’s case, the Mets were probably hoping that someone actually would claim him.

ok

Partly to gauge interest in trades. Partly to smoke screen 40-man roster moves.

grotesque clip art pleeze

unintentional jinx. I thought that was strike 3 on carroll.

Wish it was

You see your note above?

I forgot how funny he looks without the beard.

This is amazing, however. I was thinking about something similar to this earlier.

Hi, I’m here for the prom…

lol, basically.

more this

ugh…jamey carrol

he's a good little hitter

and has a bad profile pic

He looks like he belongs on Freeks and Geeks

ohe of my favorite all-time shows

+ however many you want

looks like a snake

eyes too far apart.

He looks like Matty D. In fisheye mode. And an ugly cap

Is that Diaz?

He looks like Matt Diaz got hit with an ugly stick. Multiple times.

2 outs – come on Tommy.

fuck

keep it tied tommy

Yikes. Settle down Big guy.

McLouth 5 RBIs tonight!

FF went 0-2 with 1 RBI so far

maybe his swing is coming back? anyone have a scouting report?

maybe its trips A

mclouth hits AAA pitching

woohoo

better than him not hitting AAA pitching...

like he's been doing most of the past 2 weeks

for a day…he’s been awful his last 35 abs or something

SSS

how's odarp doing?

Whew!

oh thank god...

that was so close

Smoltzie in the booth - analyzing pitchers/pitches = PRICELESS

I love it.

what happened?

come on Tommy.

Get this fool

kick his ask.

when does JT next pitch for AA?

I thought he did today but apparently not

better question, when is vizcaino coming back for myrtle beach

Next year, if we're lucky.

What about DD? He also next year?

Yeah...

I don’t have any info on his injury, but he’s supposed to be ready for ST next year.

Good to hear. I love DD. Actually I just like the name Dimaster

next year?

i thought he was out for six weeks? is he having surgery?

His injury is worse than first reported

He has a ligament tear (small, but worse than a strain). We don’t know if he’s going to need surgery, but either way I doubt he pitches this year.

Less than two weeks left in the minors season anyway.

no better question is when does JT next pich

NONHANGING CURVEBALL PLZ

Good grief.

ugh...long at bats like this make me nervous

it’s been 2-2 the whole time. throw something out of the zone and he’ll likely chase

YES!!!

Tommy WINs the battle.

WHEW!!!

phew

WHEW

Whew

Nice job, Tommy. Now let’s get him some runs!

This

whew

how bout we give him a run and a chance to win

Good job of groupthink there, guys!

and one phew

he missed the memo

Heyward

is so good at catching

How about...

have you sought professional help?

You’re the Phillies fan….

No one can help him with that, though.

+1000000

poor guy

no mercy

Tommy another fantastic start

hopefully he can actually win this time

RALLY BEAN STRINGFELLOW!!!

isn't he an agent now?

Wagners

yeah…y’all have fun with Wagner come September. Have fun with all that.

have fun with Lidge come….tomorrow?

don't forget

the entire rest of their bullpen (except Madson)

of course

don’t worry I didn’t just don’t want to think about

Braves bullpen is better, and better managed this year than is the Phils. No argument there.

i don't know how much better managed ours has been

when you use a SP twice (that i can recall) in relief in between starts, regardless of days between starts. not to mention the OVER USE of moylan, venters, EOF, etc. their arms are about to fall off.

While Lidge has been the suck the past couple years, he did almost win a WS trophy by himself and has yet to leave a wake of angered clubhouses.

um

Are you saying Wagner has left a wake of angered clubhouses? Because he’s been a great guy here.

Cox probably runs a tighter ship, but this is something that you can’t evaluate until either….
1) the team implodes
2) he leaves.

I haven't heard anything about him being a bad influence in the past

Have you considered that maybe your clubhouse in Philly is just angry all the time?

he didn’t get along with the mets either.

And?

That’s a point in his favor as far as I’m concerned.

Wag’s agent

it's strange that his number is retired.

at Richmond?

woops.

i am just not focused tonight.

Conrad due up 2nd, and it's 7th Inning+ now

just saying

Hola everybody...

Looks like Tommy was ridiculous… LETS GET SOME RUNZ!!!

HITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITS

i see what you did

im down for hitting shit

does anyone else think that Red should have more K's than he has been having?

he’s a power pitch and only 3 K’s…I know it doesn’t matter that much i just feel he should have more

Dodgers

have like 12 pesky contact hitters. I wouldn’t worry.

Time to get aggressive at the plate.

love it

Fudge, what’s that guy’s name? Iggy? Fuzzy? Something-y.

Izzy, I believe

this really is the smartest thing to do

the catcher always tackles the charger from behind. taking him out early is key to any good mound invasion/field brawl

lol

lol

Not a strike!

THAT WAS OUTSIDE

ummm that never was close

wow that's bullshit

Clutch go-ahead Brooks Conrad homer

engage!

will you accept a double?

Enthusiastically.

(keeps mouth shut about braves fans whining about pitch on the corner being called a strike) snark #4

not a typical jerk-off philly fan

apologies are offered

He’s kept his vomit to himself thus far, and for that we salute you

admit it, you just wanted to say jerk-off

got me

Getting less classy

with every post, though.

that is true. But still with a chance at redemption

oh come on…it’s all in good fun.

I don't go on your blog

and give you crap.

…

They deleted scotts comment one day comparing dominic browns swing to craig counsell….

who is scott?

sorry..MVHS

ahhhh

kk now i know who scoott is

I defended that comment. I remember it.

some tool called it racist and then after I told him to quit going chicken little he said it was a joke.

jason heyward > dom brown

DO SOMETHING!

chill

he means no harm

I'm not upset

I’m just saying that if he really wants to be classy, he’ll stop giving us crap.

Free country, though. He can do what he wants. He just won’t necessarily be classy.

c’mon…everybody in the league pokes fun at Glavine’s strike zone.

I still don't see

what that has to do with this game, seeing as how Glav is retired and all.

If the call was bad, it was bad.

what are you talking about

you belong somewhere...just not here

melky > ankiel

eh

MVP has spurts of brilliance

oh come on. the past few months hes been a decent player.

+1

melky's better than ankiel

to be fair

melky has been solid discounting the month of april… not great, but solid

He is batting .267

Which is one of the better BA’s on the team

and he's extremely smooth on defense

and he brings Kris Medlen milk

so he can grow up to be a big, strong boy

They're both ugly out there.

But I actually like Melky better on D (aside from the arm).

Melkys loopdywhirl defense has a unique charm

I agree.

And Melky is goofy in the dugout, which is always a plus.

.178/.300/214 < .269/.329/.381

Not worse than Ankiel!

He hits just like a pitcher! Swing hard in case you hit it!

Wow....

another ND for tommy

FUCK

Why so many good pitchers come here I’ll never know haha

tommy had no choice

Sure he did

He could have gone back to school. He only pitched 1 year in JC iirc.

And once again, only 1 run allowed by him.

I’ve been saying it for weeks now. He’s the new KK. But I can’t figure out why.

Choppa no good, Melkfail

Melky

needed more chop

Good grief – how many pitches for Billingsley? Please promise me he won’t pitch the entire game.

106

108 actually

108

batting first, he’s probably out

Did somebody order a pizza

with extra Fail this inning?

no, but i ordered a joke with extra fail.

thanks for delivering

:-P

ouch lol

You're welcome...

I’m here all night. Tip your waitress.

where would you like us to send the 2 dollars to?

i have 50 cents

I have a quarter and a brass button

tommy...7 IP and 1 ER...again another great start...this is getting sad

at least he's helping us win

and not putting up 3 IP 7 ER

Tommy never stood the chance of winning...

poor kid :(

Hanson

out there for a few seconds as a decoy

geez look at these lines

tommy: 109 pitches 67 strikes 5hits, 1 er
chad: 108 pitches, 67 strikes, 5 hits, 1 er

creepy

1 walk each too

It was a pitching du-el.

sweet..

back to back commercial breaks

I really hate that rule/gamesmanship.

I think if you send a pitcher out to start an inning, he should have to pitch to 1 batter. It’s the equivalent of delay of game.

OR…the reliever who comes in gets 2 warm up pitches and that’s it.

Unless the Phillies did it, then it would probably be fine

no..it would equally annoy me.

and Chollie isn’t pensive enough to do that kidna stuff.

says the philly fan

Yeah, I agree.

That’s a dumb rule (or lack of a rule I guess).

JONNY "STFD" VENTERS!!!!!!!!

is he in?

when is he not?

this

well the games are only 3 hours long

but bobby probably has him throwing simulated innings a day

in case he gets too rested

shutdown version plz

not the once-a-month give-up-one-run version

He already gave up his run for August

I missed that game…I still don’t believe it happened

So if it happens again, it’s your fault?

WAHOOOOO

fuck our awful defense...

To be fair

not sure what he could have done differently

ALTERNATE SCENARIO

CATCH BALL, THROW RUNNER OUT

ugh

Hanson is playing in the KK spot

who is this KK you speak of?

He's not the only one.

Pretty much our whole staff is lately.

vidro plz

It’s the 8th or 9th inning isn’t it?

ofcourse

the misplay on defense give it away?

Not a misplay as much as the crappy luck we’ve had in late innings of late.

Not everyone can get the benefit of the Dodger BP to coughing up a 9-4 lead. ;-)

that was 9-2 TYVM

ello again internet friends

MBL1 - August 16, 2010 via mobile reply

don’t worry, I bring teh BRAVEZ RUNZ

MBL1 - August 16, 2010 via mobile reply

Jonny Venters has had the best slider of any MLB reliever this year

His 5.33 wSL/C, which means is the runs above average per hundred pitches is the highest total among relievers.

Cool.

Not really a surprise, but cool.

yeah…his stuff is pretty filthy. Just worry about him being overused.

says the philly fan

just me

but i’m not into all these fancy stats… IP, ER, BB and K are the ones i look at because they are pretty much the only ones that matter IMO

nothing against that post just sayin

All it does is measure how effective a pitch has been. The top-10 in wFB is basically an All-Star list or Cy Young candidates, it’s a valid stat.

i get why people like them

just a bit complicated for me…

if you had to create a 4 pitch arsenal using any 4 pitches from both leagues, would venters' slider be there?

ehh...

Fastball- Verlander
Curveball- Wainwright
Change-up- Johan
Slider- toss up

I would not take Johan’s anything

why not?

Because he’s been majorly regressing over the past year or two, and his change isn’t nearly as good as it used to be

He has a lower ERA with the Mets than he did with the Twins.

Really, I actually didn’t knnow that. But ERA is a little skewed

His stuff isn’t as electric, but he is just as good of a pitcher, in my opinion.

I don’t think so, although that’s my opinion. I find it too easy for him to get lit up now

his change is still cream of the crop

eh, to each his own

who would you say best change in MLB?

Lincecum maybe?

I don’t really know. Gut I’d say Lee or Ubaldo

Actually strike Ubaldo

eeh

i thought his big thing was thhe slider?

which one?

Ubaldo's

That’s why I knocked him off the list. I’d take Lee’s changeup

he has had a down year this year

and has still been really good

Cutter – Rivera.

says the philly fan

but true

Probably not. The reason his slider has been so effective is that his fastball is also great. He throws his heater over 75% of the time, it sets up his slider perfectly.

wow…gotta throw strikes here

obligatory error and jonny venters appearance

it’s a braves game allright

lets not walk the guy trying to sac bunt plz

Phail

Alright Philly fan, spelling lesson time: It’s Fail not Phail…..honesty mistake, don’t let it happen again

says the philly fan

now he can't find the strikezone...

not starting off very well this inning

OT:Prado

now 1 for 4, 3 ground outs.

3 ground outs? Interesting

MBL1 - August 16, 2010 via mobile reply

I thought so

of course, he’s probably just rusty.

Wow

this looks familiar

E5, BB... not good

error/walk…recipe for sucess

success

unless

you are the Braves…

Man on 2nd = rally killer

fuck....

venters really hates rest huh?

wow 1st and 2nd

Let’s go triple play!

they're going to bunt again..

or try to..

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuudggggggaaaaaa

pop up the bunt plz

Billy Beane is crying.

says the philly fan

brooksie failure.

Oh God defense.

And we’re at home. What gives?

Yeap...thats about right

Game over?

goodnight yall

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
THIS SUCKS

MBL1 - August 16, 2010 via mobile reply

yeah...that seems right

we never make just 1 error

Well then.

That was sucktastic.

We should try signing players that can play defense next year

Fuck

ballgame

Wow...

DEFENSIVE FAIL…

WTF!!!!!

DEFENSE FAIL

Oh My.

lead down to game and a half

stfu?

go away!

you are getting more defensive than the Braves lol

lighten up

no we have 2 innings to score

so you clearly have no faith…leave if your not gonna be productive here

who died and made you the blog moderator?

The same person that died and made him a fan of this team?

oh right I forgot I am not a fan lol

im trying to be productive

and your being a douche

u mad?

not at all

lol you keep telling yourself that

when the team doesn’t score runs, this is what happens

we still have the division lead so we must not be doing that bad

you fail to realize that negativity works

its like the Braves sense it or something

and yet I reeled you in too, just a bonus lol

when the team is down

fuckfaces like you come out from hiding and say stupid shit like “lead down to X” when the game’s not fucking over yet. at least wait until the game ENDS to say shit like that, because then it will be FACTUAL.

you are an idiot

I have been here all game and all summer; whether we were winning or not

when the hell did i question how long you have been on this blog?

read my comment again

does it matter?

I said the lead down to whatever crap, what twice??

I guess you chose to file those away and disregarded the thousands of other times I have been behind this team and stuck behind them

this isn't a pissing match for who's been more supportive for how much longer

nor does your argument on the basis of reputation make up for your idiotic remarks

win

says the guy who bitches everytime certain guys come up

epic fail for you

please explain how i

“bitch everytime certain guys come up”

everytime guys like McLouth, Melky and Ankiel come up

you automatically expect them to suck

no

i think you’ve mistaken me with someone else. i have no idea what you are talking about. plus, don’t deflect your idiocy on me

I think you did on me, maybe that is why I made the comment in the first place

I can find many times I responded to you being negative about a player before their at-bat even started

because i'm obviously not joking

also, that’s completely different from saying “lead down to X games” in the 7th inning of a game with a 2-run deficit.

snide sarcasm != defeatist pessimism

your not joking?

so how was that different, because I was joking when I said it

I even said that about 15 minutes ago that I was making the comments because nearly everytime I do, the Braves win

I explained that you guys kept on bitching at me

I wanna see your comments in late April

got here in early May

but been every nearly every single game since, win or lose

oh and I have teased you for being negative a hell of a lot more than I have been negative myself

bitching when we lose

and happy when we win!

and don’t bitch when we lose or you’re gonna be bitchy at least 65 days of summer!

um lol newsflash

most fans bitch when their team loses and is happy when they win

that is part of being a fan lol

you an bitch when we lose... if we're bad...

but you said we had lost this game when we were down 2 runs with 2 innings left… what braves teams have you been watching all year?

lmao oh my god

may god strike me down lol

intelligent response

it was warranted lol

oh, right

you win!

really fans

suck it up and realise hat there are 162 games!!!! you can’t win them all

if its ootball i understand being pissed at losing a game but not MLB!

+100

oh waaaaaaa lmao

EAT MY SHIT!!!

what happened?

Goddamn mother fucking hell.

lolbraves

what happened?

Slow roller to third, Brooks overthrew Glaus. One run scored, Heyward kicked it around a bit, second run scored, batter went to third on all the fail.

our defense is awful

I got somewhere to be anyway, this epic fail just gave me incentive to go and do it lol

Fuck

Good News

We are now only 2 errors away from being the worst defensive team in baseball

I WANT CHIPPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FAIL

Venters is tired…EOF cannot come back quick enough

Isn’t Dunn a lefty?

Yup.

So EOF can take his time. Bobby just has to use Dunn

Bobby never does. Venters throws practically every game

Recently anyway

And yet I’m still not counting this team out of the game. We’ve come back from bigger deficits for me to give up yet. It’s only a two run lead.

Venters stranding the runner on third with nobody out would be a huge boost.

He's working on it.

⅓ of the way there

says the philly fan

If he isn’t being offensive to anyone, just let him post and don’t caddy each of his.

haha

just as a joke i found it funny at least haha

I’m not bothered. In fact I was going to point out the one’s he’d missed in a minute.

just so ya know

just a joke to single out the phils fan… all in good fun

as I said…not bothered.

that

was when we had offense

So… we didn’t have offense yesterday? Or did I miss the memo that that game didn’t count?

that

was an anomaly

Yea, what worries me is its gonna look like we averaged over 4 runs a game this series, but the truth is we scored 1 (so far) in 3 of the 4…..but we have nothing to worry about!

Fair enough.

But I seem to remember some good walk off wins within the span of a couple of weeks helped boost the offense.

When is the last time we scored 5+ runs in back to back games?

Wish we could battle at the plate like this more.

This is the worst

Defense the Braves have fielded in many years

The Braves that won 14 straight division titles did it mainly with pitching and defense. We’ve got pitching this year, but the defense is incredibly streaky.

Maybe the bats will bail out the gloves today.

Streaky is not the word for it

We have made 92 errors this season, 2 from leading the league..

This defense is just … well bad

Mercifully

zoinks!

Venters: “Don’t worry defense.. I won’t let him hit it to you so you can screw it up”

Too bad Lidge isn't their closer

Then we’d have a great chance

Broxton is in the vicinity.

Kuo

is their closer now

As long as they don’t bring in Kuo….

Kuo

is ridiculous

This

Too bad Torre changed closers right before this series. Broxton would have been nice to see.

So true

Kuo is plain nasty, watch us go 1-2-3 in the 9th

Too bad it’s only th 8th

lol
Phillies fan = PWNED

MBL1 - August 16, 2010 via mobile reply

how these guys had scored 3 runs tonight and won the second game

hitting something like 0-23 RISP

Because

we are not any better offensively?

ugly.

the stat, not you.

they only have 3 earned runs all series.

Counting chickens before they've broek on the kitchen floor?

Is it possible to win a WS with a defense as bad as the Braves ?

BravesFan2010 - August 16, 2010 reply

To be fair, if we could just convert some of our walks and rare extra-base hits into runs, the defense wouldn’t really stop us from winning games.

So, in other words, yes, given the right conditions.

FUCKIN AWESOME!

Momentum! Let’s come out swinging!

nice arm MVP

MVP!!!

MVP MVP MVP

Hell yea MVP!!!

Nice throw!!

Melkalicious

Meat on that ball

But you can’t fault him for running with 2 outs.

Alright still in this.

lets get some runz!

Theriot got owned.

Great play

Lovely

RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS

MBL1 - August 16, 2010 via mobile reply

Melky with a laser cannon? Who knew?

he has

made a lot of great throws from the outfield… all year

look who's pitching for the orioles!!

Mike “best closer in the MLB” Gonzalez!!!

Ahahahaha

MBL1 - August 16, 2010 via mobile reply

McLouth hitting with bases loaded in AAA

cue dramatic music

Nirvana - Half the Man I Used to Be

Should be his music

Wrong junkie lead singer...

You’re thinking of Stone Temple Pilots.

jtw126 - August 16, 2010 reply

Good boost.

Now let’s light someone up. Or at least rally for three runs.

MVP!!

maybe broxton will give us 3 runs now

depp63 - August 16, 2010 reply

pinch hitter gets on, auto-single, heyward finally hits one where ethier can't get to it

10 rows deep in the RF stands. 4-3. Sandman shuts them down. W

please broxton sucks like you did with phillies

Kuo in the 8th

So I see the rumor

About the Braves claiming Ramirez was shot down…

So why did we not sign Alvord?

to saves money to get Ramirez

...

another Ramirez?

manram

haha

now there is something I would not believe…

Aramis

?

Re-read the post

the rumor about us claiming Aarmis has been shot down by a few sources including Keith Law

whoops, sorry

no problem

I dont think I was very clear after I re-read it myself

I think that's the Ramirez he was referring to.

thanks

Who’s on first?

Where did you see that?

Keith Law Twitter

@gondeee No, that’s not accurate at all

aha

So

Its not happening then?

I would not say its impossible

Just closer to it

ahhh crap...

i hope he isn’t going to 2 innings…

Uh… 2-inning save?

Or is Jansen going to pitch the 9th?

Joe Torre, you are mystical.

i highly doubt Kuo will pitch 2 innings unless he has a < 10 pitch inning.

he's working on it

i see that.

jinxed it.

not really… (unintentional snark #5 to unknowing Braves fan)

UGH. Kuo.

MBL1 - August 16, 2010 via mobile reply

flipping his pitchers based on perceived difficulty of inning.

I like managers that think.

McLouth RBI walk w/bases loaded, giving him the 6th RBI of the night

Were the other five on walks as well?

Three was the result of a home run.

3 Run HR and 2 RBI single

wow Diaz, you're awsome

why can’t WE get bloop hits

MBL1 - August 16, 2010 via mobile reply

Goodness

Braves have hit some balls extremely hard tonight with nothing to show. Dodgers have been getting excellent hitting groundballs toward third.

it’s a percentage play.

brooks conrad vs. broxton

with bases loaded. MAKE IT HAPPEN

I'm for this.

What the heck

He’s due up fourth. Why not?

I’d be down but I don’t see why Kuo doesn’t pitch the 9th too.

bmac liner off kuo's leg

takes him out

Impressive inning

That inning was ridiculously fast...

Wow, no 15 pitch at bats for us that time eh?

At least we made him work! 7 Pitches!

Moy.

Kuo owns us

who will pitch the 9th for LA, Broxton or Kuo again?

Both

At the same time

Kuo, just 7 pitches

1 single, 4 walk, 1 single, 1 grand slam against conrad?

probably Kuo. He’s thrown 7 pitches

really…what does Casey Blake do?

Hit .250 with some pop.

I heard this rumor he plays baseball

unconfirmed

W. Cabrera replaced Prado w/bases loaded and he was K

Maybe Peter should have pitched the 8th.

Infield defense screwed them, so I don’t know that Peter and his GBs would have helped.

pemo may have induced GBs to 2nd or SS instead

unless he could play 3rd base while fielding, I don’t think it would’ve mattered.

Not like it was Venters' fault

two errors by the third baseman in the same inning are hard to overcome.

I wasn’t insinuating it was Venter’s fault.
His ground balls went to 3rd, where Peter’s went to Short & 2nd.
That’s the point I was making.

Little tense here tonight.

don’t think anybody was angry with statement, just didn’t get that from your comment.

Peter hasn't pitched in a while - good to see he wasn't too rusty.

+1

That first part of your sentence is refreshing to see after last year, I must admit!

c´mon offense,

RALLY PIASA BIRD!

damn

Kuo two innings, game over

be careful

you will get chastized by ATL and a few other guys like I did

I think

they gave up on me a while back

yea I guess 2nd guessing your team when the game isnt over is the worst offense around here lol

and I was even joking and said that I was lol

eh

It is just part of being a fan…

Lows are extra low

Highs are extra high

Just dont annoy people over and over with it

lol apparently I am

that whole lead down to X games thing got to them and I have said it maybe twice or three times all season lol

haha

dont mention the Phillies

Where’s Riley?

title

for Moylan

I'm putting on my clutch sunglasses.

My rally cap kind of stinks.

What do you want me to do

dress in drag and do the hula?

please post pic if you do.

I really have no idea how you made that connection

But +1 anyway

Oh, I just happened to see the movie. Happened to be in my head and felt like using it

/Lion King’d

Aaaaaaaaaaare you achin'?

Forrrrrr some bacon?

All we need to do is get someone on for Mac/Glaus/Conrad.

Well, can't hurt.

Daisy thanks Alex!

DaIsy thanks Brian!

19 wins in last AB

Ugh….

A big part of that is Ratner hasn’t sucked it up for you as closer.

PH ross for bmac?

or no?

no

No way. Ross is boss, but BMac is BMac

Yes!

no

Mac has been hitting too well lately

only two hits this series

and they’ve come today…

there’s the baserunner.

nice ASTROhit for Gonzo

Here comes Mac.

Nice start

Seaaaaa Basssssssssss

I'd pinch-hit with Ross.

There's a hit!

Good start for a rally!

ok there we go, its a start

Alex

JMON LEE

Great at-bat

Gonzo made him throw just as many pitches as he threw in the whole 8th inning

MOARHITSPLZ

Alright, how about another hit

I really would rather have Rossy here.

wow. I know McCann has had eyesight problems, but that looked bad when he stepped to the plate.

RNZ PLZ

Heap!!!

Heap!!

HEAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPP

sigh…I hate the 9th inning rallies by the braves.

Base hit

BMac! No outs.

Alright how about another hit?

woooooooooooooo

no vidro

Well

that works

Wow, that was huge.

Not only does that take the Glaus DP out of contention, but a Glausosaur rip now plates two.

esp. with Hicks running.

Very nice!!

This is even better!

There goes the chance at a double play.

JMON

Bad Defense

by Ausmus, now that is rare

them creaky legs

guess

it keeps him from blocking the ball properly

especially since its the only reason he still has a job

WILD PITCH

Now Batting

Brooks Conrad

go RAW DAWG

dang

c’mon Brooks… atone for erros

*errors

Come on Magic Man (per Smoltz)

LETS GO BROOKSY!!

They probably don’t mind that…vidro candidate on deck

Bases are loaded now

Fail.

2.5 game lead.

shshshshshshshshshssshhhhhhhhhhhhh

what he said has motivated the braves so far shhhhshshshshhhhh

which is why I said it in the first place

go back and read again during the commercial

I even said to you that this was that negativety the Braves seem to react to and win

yet you continued to bitch at me, it was a joke

it wasnt a joke!!!

you were dead serious… STFU!

you are really an idiot

I told you that I did that on purpose, the Braves always seem to react to the negativity with late rallies

lets goooo ross

Well

good game Ross

we can’t take him out though….mac was pinch ran for….

sadly, this

damn

you guys are right

emergency diaz catching?

Already used as well

already used. Conrad then

Wow. Bobby pullin out all the stops, eh?

if we win

does it matter?

Exactly.

wasn’t there a Brooks Conrad: Emergency Catcher picture a while back?

That’s mine. If necessary It’ll be posted. Good memorey

seriously?

Oh man, intense.

RAW DAWG inspires FEAR

KUO OUT

SUCCESS

Well whos in?

Dotel

Now we can’t pinch-hit for Ross with Hinske.

yea it has to be Ross then

We could. Conrad can catch

DROSS BOSS

nope Hinske batting I think

wait then they have no catcher

Diaz the emergency?

Diaz PH’d.

Hinske

is up now for sure

We have no catchers if this happens.

just realized this

damn… Ross it is

My Rally Shades are working

I’m seriously wearing them…I’m such a loser.

Keep those shades on....

Uhm, talking to Melky about how to approach the AB

Melky told him

get a hit so we can celebrate and eat cake

Melky

Anyone feeling a, um, suicide squeeze????

Just throwing it out there.

Gonzalez

not that speedy out on third, so would need to be good

Hicks on third, but I don’t think we’re doing it.

doh

HIcks on third

Oh come on Melky. At least look like you know what to do with a bat.

Walkin’ LIKE A BOSS

I LOVE THIS TEAM

Ut Hum - the "Power of the Puggle" worked. :-)

You should put the doggy into rally threads all the time!

Also, not that it will, but this should cause people to think twice, again, about saying game over anywhere before three outs in the bottom of the ninth.

You can’t give up on this team.

they tend to piss us off though...

cant deny

That’s what I was saying during the top of the 8th. Some people tried telling me differently. This team still has some magic to it.

Glad you were here with us!

Good luck

but it’ll be only once every little while, but Ill try to get back as often as i can!

happy dance doin' the happy dance

Great game guys and gals.....

Gotta love the funky box scores.

Dotel with the blown save (His 6th), Kuo with the hold and the loss.

Tough series! 3 out of 4

Always sweet to get the series win!

Melky was already becoming one of my favorite players on this team and this definitely helped the cause.

Oh I love Melky. Biggest goofball ever. Hillarious

That is why I like him so much. He is no superstar, but he is a solid player and he always looks like he’s having fun.

we I saw the groundball I thought it would be double play

perfectly placed

who said Melky sucks?

I'd like a tall glass of Melk.

right now

we are behind the padres for the best pitching staff in baseball

Pad’s are playing so well right now. It’s frustrating.

we are catching them though, think if we didnt have all the errors
s how games more would have won if not for all the errors

huh?

how many games have errors cost us

jd49 says

if not for all the errors, we would’ve won more games and potentially caught/surpassed the padres

It’s games like this that make me glad that I bought the mlb package on directv…great win.

Catucky10 - August 16, 2010 reply

2nd Walk off hit of the year for Melky. Same as Heyward

Actually, it’s the first for Melky.

second if you count the david wright throw-away

Someone asked how we'd win with our defense

well that’s how

haha

phillies fans at TGP are really, really pissed off at the dodgers blowing this lead

funny, i don’t remember braves fans being nearly as pissed off at the 7-run dodger blown lead vs. the phils

I know, right?

I remember being more pissed off at that blown call when they were playing the Marlins.

Yeah, there's that.

Can we ban them?

I lol'd

Wish we could!

Sweet WIN tonight. Early alarm, so I'm off. Nite everyone.

Tell the Philly fan my shrink said to Bite Me.

.

Brandon Hicks

has scored 7 out of 9 times he’s pinch running. Good luck charm

wow! great stat

Per gondeee

:)

Hinske+Hicks= H&H ~~bagles~~ Winz

So, when Prado comes back, does this mean we should send Diory down and keep our good luck charm?

honestly, diory is completely useless….so yes

and now Kuo ERA > Venters ERA

venters keeping it to two runs

with runner on third + no out = HUGE, in retrospect

melky*

oops

you’re right. venters + melky.

banned.

Venters prefers pitch in very stress situation

Aramis Ramirez

Happening or no?

prolly not but you never know

No update=Good news, imo

as in… pro or con?

I want him!

Im down.

me too

Y'all don't want him?

No, I want him. I think he’d be great

KLaw shot it down

soooooooo 99.9% of happening, then

haha

Truth!

Dodgers BP 21 ER in this series!!

and they 0-20+ RISP

lol

PS

20 games above .500…when was the last time that happened? find it!

And 20 last at bat wins… coincidence… I THINK NOT

pretty sure it's 2005

The Braves finished the 2005 season 22 games over .500.

close, but no cigar

the 2005 braves finished 18 games over .500 at 90-72.

last time braves were 20-over .500 was September 30, 2005

D’oh

Seriously

We’ve taken 3/4 from the Giants & Dodgers and 2/3 from the Mets & Astros… imagine if our offense was clicking! Even when we suck we win!

Heck yeah!

something like 15-0 run on August

Hells yes.

We’re back to winning series and it feels awesome.

Keep the team we have..let omar play baseball everyday

Yea. I don’t get why he can’t be considered an everyday player rather than utility, when we need him to be everyday.

I'm for keeping Omar in the line up somewhere.

He’s just toooooo clutch not tooooo!

Omar can pitch better than KK..

Think he’ll be a regular starter next year?

MBL1 - August 16, 2010 via mobile reply

KK?

Nope. I think we’ll find someone.

Typical braves game

Great pitching
Facepalm-able defense
And then an insane walkoff to cap it all off.
