The Braves always somehow make a game interesting. Whether it's coming back late in the game or giving up a huge lead. Almost every game is a nail biter.
Yankees are 36-26 on the road, Rays are 39-24 on the road, Reds are 36-28 on the road, Padres are 38-27 on the road. So that’s 4 of the best teams in baseball who have a winning record on the road. Out of the 6 teams leading their divisions in baseball, the Braves have by far the worst road record.
we’ve dealt with bad ones before. And just how bad can he be in only two months, pushing for a World Series so he can prove his special status, and in a locker room loaded with strong, dominating, established personalities like Moylan, McCann, Huddy, Wags, Chipper, Lee, Gonzalez, Prado, Diaz, Lowe, Saito, etc.
The Braves are simply horrible on the road. By far the worst team on the road among division leaders in baseball. Thank God we are nearly unbeatable at home.
I’m going to reiterate that we’re fine, and shit like this happens. In order for the magic of baseball to take place, ONE team has to be on the losing end of it. This too shall pass.
Is anyone at all concerned about how the Braves play on the road ? I mean, do you think come playoff time the Braves will magically become a good road team ?
I expected to see a lot of things in this thread, but cracking on Terry wasn’t one of them. There’s no way to sugarcoat this: that’s just fucking stupid.
but damn would some of you guys get a fuckin grip? Some of you need to calm down. It’s one loss…I have faith that this team will not lay down and die after this.
Not like they’re in first place or anything. Some of you people are just ridiculous. It’s one bad game. You play 162 of them. These happen to every single team that’s ever played baseball. Sometimes you folks make me ashamed to be part of this fanbase. Get a grip.
To be fair, losing a game after leading 10-1 is not common and certainly isn’t typical of most good teams. You can understand where the immense frustration is coming from, especially this late in the year.
But this team has been strange all year long… having the most last AB wins, having a 9 game losing streak, coming back from a 6 run deficit in the ninth, etc….
we got swept and still will begin our next game at least a game up. Obviously the way we lost today especially is beyond painful, if you had told me before this series that we would get swept, with the Phillies at home against Houston, I would have figured we would be out of first by the time we made it back to Atlanta. Hopefully this will light a fire and we’ll get going on another streak, this time one of the winning variety.
that would make it 1 1/2 right, then if they win tomorrow, they make up another 1/2 game, making that a 1 game lead. I thought? This game fried my brain a little so I might not be thinking straight.
I won ROTY last season and this season I got hurt. Now I’m bouncing between AAA and the bigs. I’m hitting over .400 at AAA and am on fire. Hopefully when my goal period ends in a week I’ll get called back up.
I normally would be very upset and worried about the future following a loss like this if this happened at home or any other stadium. But this kind of crazy shit has happened all the time at Coors Field for the last 17 years.
I told the people I was watching the game with not to get too excited because a 10-1 lead means absolutely jack shit in this ball park. The only time you get confident about a lead in Coors Field is when you have recorded 3 outs in the bottom of the 9th inning.
I’m not even that upset about it. It would have been nice to salvage the series, but you almost have to kind of expect this kind of hokus pokus to happen at Coors Field.
Braves just need to take a day off, relax, watch the Phillies try to salvage a series split against the Astros (lol), come home, bash the now-Cantu/Coghlan/Ross/Paulino-less Marlins and the derelict Mets for 7 games while the Phillies are out west.
Thank God the Braves play 20 of their last 35 at home.
Not really. The players are probably numb to this point about losses like this in Coors Field. Bobby after the game will probably give the same old “We played well, it just happens here sometimes” spiel to the press after the game.
yeah, I think you have to go into a series at Coors like their going to be little league games. Because that’s basically what they are. Pitching means next to nothing in that ballpark
i am kinda intrigued by the numbers. How much of it is the humidor, and how much of it is Colorado having a much better pitching staff than they used to
That's an interesting question, and one I can't fully answer
Rox teams from 2003-2005 were pretty damn mediocre, so I guess you can compare staff home ERA from 2000-2002, to 2003-2005 (I believe ’03 was the first humidor year).
But guys like Cook and Francis were the start of us building a better staff, and by 2007, the pitching was pretty good. Without checking, I’m pretty certain that the years 2007 through 2010 represent the four best team ERAs in club history (2008 excepted, which was an off year).
I do know that 2009 was our best staff ever (and over 100 quality starts). And that the team ERA in 2010 is improved upon 2009, though the pen has shouldered a bigger load this year than last.
If I had to make a wild ass guess, I’d credit about 40% of it to better pitching, and 60% of it to the humidor. Numbers at Coors will still be higher than many parks, just because the outfield is so big. But it’s definitely no longer LOLCOORZ. Games like today happen about 6-8 times a year, not 50-60.
I’m gonna step away from baseball for the night have a couple beers and wake up in the morning hoping the phillies lose…. Def not time to give up not even close..i did slam a couple doors though made me feel better
The turning point of the game was when Jurrjens walked the relief pitcher in his first career plate appearance with 1 out in the 5th inning. He completely unraveled after that.
This team cannot put a full game together
and that is scary

now becomes a RUNS PLEASE thread
JKowalek - August 25, 2010
I don’t like our chances in the playoffs. Our batters got out once and aren’t batting 1.000. Also, I saw Hanson throw a ball once!
BullManUGA - August 25, 2010
another lefty.
rockies really want to win this thing.
atl192485 - August 25, 2010
RUNS RUNS RUNS?
MBL1 - August 25, 2010 via mobile
great
a soft tossing lefty
leedawg - August 25, 2010
How many lefties do the Rockies have in their pen?
Because until Street comes out, they’re going to be throwing nothing but lefties…
Undocorkscrew - August 25, 2010
Geez, another lefty!!
Beat him up please!!
TonyAlmeyda - August 25, 2010
Diaz is in though.
king of games - August 25, 2010
2:30 through 6 innings
I believe the record for a 9-inning game is like 4:20ish, we’re gonna need a lot of pitching changes if we wanna get that record.
StapleGun - August 25, 2010
Good start
Lennox - August 25, 2010
RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS RUNS
Jtpdolphins2009 - August 25, 2010
Joe Biemel?
BravesDawg16 - August 25, 2010
fuck Rockies manager
putting another lefty
joshant - August 25, 2010
I was ready to...
see see this game is over, Read some of my book, play some madden while the Braves cruise to a win…and well my plans got fucked
KINGSLYTUT - August 25, 2010
all-madden difficulty
is so ridiculous, pierre thomas had a monster game against me
BravesRaleigh - August 25, 2010
Ryan Matthews...
impossible to tackle him
KINGSLYTUT - August 25, 2010
They NEVER go down first contact…Forte ran for 178 and 3 tds against me
bpk228480 - August 25, 2010
i got that beat
gore ran for 372 and 4 tds against me, i nearly broke my controller
BravesRaleigh - August 25, 2010
I’m not kidding because i looked it up on replay…Darren Sproles broke six tackles on one play
Scott Coleman - August 25, 2010
to be fair, the colts are hardly a good team
bpk228480 - August 25, 2010
LOL
Scott Coleman - August 25, 2010
…Please remove your head from your ass and reassess that comment.
oVecKid - August 25, 2010
Yes, I’m completely serious
bpk228480 - August 25, 2010
“Hardly a good team”
That’s a joke.
Scott Coleman - August 25, 2010
lol come on man…obviously I was just busting your balls
bpk228480 - August 25, 2010
I’m not in the ball busting mood right now bpk!
Scott Coleman - August 25, 2010
thats so stupid
BravesRaleigh - August 25, 2010
do you play My Skill? I basically just have to take an asswhooping until my ratings go down enough for the next game.
bpk228480 - August 25, 2010
i play all-madden
BravesRaleigh - August 25, 2010
which is equivalent to 15 on the rating thing….my shit gets up to 20 and you can’t do anything, run, pass, or play defense
bpk228480 - August 25, 2010
i do not look forward to trying that
BravesRaleigh - August 25, 2010
it seriously is just a waste of time playing…I wish I could simulate halfway through the game
bpk228480 - August 25, 2010
Does Matt Diaz ever take a strike?
Scott Coleman - August 25, 2010
no
jdeuel3868 - August 25, 2010
Pendleton doesn't allow it
KJDH2154 - August 25, 2010
You can't be fucking serious!
Trying to blame Diaz swinging at every pitch on TP!
Jay212033 - August 25, 2010
Out of frustration
But I really don’t think TP is a good hitting coach what-so-ever
KJDH2154 - August 25, 2010
It’s unbecoming.
BullManUGA - August 25, 2010
Anyone
want to bet against Venters next inning?
king of games - August 25, 2010
Farns, Venters, Wags
TradeAndruw - August 25, 2010
Kawa....shit.
steeeeezzzzzz - August 25, 2010
Whats up with the Rockies haircuts
Black curly as hair coming out the caps, wanna be Tulos.
steeeeezzzzzz - August 25, 2010
yay offense!
BigG1392 - August 25, 2010
Now we can't get a hit....
MikeTrain - August 25, 2010
Looks like this game is going to be up to the Braves pen.......
Undocorkscrew - August 25, 2010
likely will shit the bed
IMO
KINGSLYTUT - August 25, 2010
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
Nice inning.
Scott Coleman - August 25, 2010
now we refuse to score...
and i gotta terrible feeling about Venters
KINGSLYTUT - August 25, 2010
HEY!
hes the only guy i got faith in
JKowalek - August 25, 2010
idk i gotta bad feeling
KINGSLYTUT - August 25, 2010
what an awesome inning...
jjhova12 - August 25, 2010
LOL…how did we even score 10….this is ridiculous
bpk228480 - August 25, 2010
pathetic
atl192485 - August 25, 2010
the fuck is our hottest hitter laying down a bunt
JKowalek - August 25, 2010
in coors
bpk228480 - August 25, 2010
on the 1st pitch
Scott Coleman - August 25, 2010
8 up, 8 down without a threat.
NCChopper - August 25, 2010
Win.....
Fail
MikeTrain - August 25, 2010
…..
um, keep it 10-8! really wanna win this
MBL1 - August 25, 2010 via mobile
If we lose this game. I’m banning the Braves for a game.
oVecKid - August 25, 2010
c’mon Omar, you’re on fire lately and you’re trying to bunt your way on?
Lennox - August 25, 2010
WTF. 7 pitches inning
joshant - August 25, 2010
I think we collectively could use a Xanax or 10. :]
DuPu - August 25, 2010
WTF is WRONG WITH THIS TEAM VS LEFTIES GOD DAMMIT???!!!
I like how I left is lowercase
SuperNewb - August 25, 2010 via mobile
how can a team be sooo bad against lefties when the lineup isnt even as heavy left handed as it use to be?
depp63 - August 25, 2010
WOW, way to let the pitcher catch his breath.
FitzFan - August 25, 2010
Cox
really loves bunting.
king of games - August 25, 2010
How the fuck can an entire team collectively suck this much against lefties?
Bob Mackie - August 25, 2010
well um
you people do realize Billy Wagner paid JJ and Moylan to fail so he could get a save opportunity right?
BigG1392 - August 25, 2010
He has to get teh savez!
MBL1 - August 25, 2010 via mobile
Moylan failing is no surprise
I’m glad he’s a great guy in real life. Because I hate him on the mound.
pancanbra - August 25, 2010
He's struggled w/ control this year, but he's hardly been a bad pitcher for the Braves in his career. How soon some forget.
FitzFan - August 25, 2010
I don't care
Never have liked him. I think he’s way overrated by everyone on this blog. IMO
pancanbra - August 25, 2010
This team does not deserve to win this game
Jtpdolphins2009 - August 25, 2010
they scored ten runs brosef
depp63 - August 25, 2010
And have given up 8 without scoring in 4 innings
MikeTrain - August 25, 2010
I live to think the first half and second half of a game are counted equally assuming the Braves come out on top of course. ;o)
jbeachbum24 - August 25, 2010
Did someone turn up the difficulty halfway through the game?
pancanbra - August 25, 2010
+1
MikeTrain - August 25, 2010
after the 3rd inning
joshant - August 25, 2010
the offnse forget to hit
joshant - August 25, 2010
Well the 10 runs should've been enoug
Jay212033 - August 25, 2010
WTF happening to the offense. Why this team cant hit a fucking lefthand pitcher
joshant - August 25, 2010
Man, the ups and downs of a season. I’m going to have to retire from the watching the Braves by the time I turn 60 or I’ll give myself a coronary!
Nah I’ll take my chances.
jbeachbum24 - August 25, 2010
reverse Braves
score early can’t score late
KINGSLYTUT - August 25, 2010
ha I was just thinking that.
jbeachbum24 - August 25, 2010
lol
MBL1 - August 25, 2010 via mobile

Looks like Benicio Del Toro
king of games - August 25, 2010
Why not just let Eric go another inning?
Undocorkscrew - August 25, 2010

Let’s go Jonny! wooo
MBL1 - August 25, 2010 via mobile
VENTERZZZZZZZZZ
BigG1392 - August 25, 2010
These are the times where we miss Chipper as the leader on the field.
Scott Coleman - August 25, 2010
Yeah
It’s time for Prado to take charge
BigG1392 - August 25, 2010
That was a strike
BigG1392 - August 25, 2010
Make MULLET BOY STFD!
FitzFan - August 25, 2010
why Bobby made a double switch
if he gonna replace EOF
joshant - August 25, 2010
Go JONNY!!
SuperNewb - August 25, 2010 via mobile
Funny story
I told my friend that if the Braves lose i shit on my JJ jersey… i really dont wanna shit on my JJ jersey
KINGSLYTUT - August 25, 2010
Binding contract, no pun intended.
oVecKid - August 25, 2010
he's a betting man
does it more for the sport than the money but…
KINGSLYTUT - August 25, 2010
Same with my friend. He does it for the rush. And i want him dead for it.
oVecKid - August 25, 2010
I’m surprised you have a JJ jersey
KJDH2154 - August 25, 2010
customized
as he is my fav player
KINGSLYTUT - August 25, 2010
thats actually kind of grossly funny
bpk228480 - August 25, 2010
ew
MBL1 - August 25, 2010 via mobile
3rd and 1st pitches were in the same spot
joshant - August 25, 2010
1 out
Jtpdolphins2009 - August 25, 2010
8 more outs…
TonyAlmeyda - August 25, 2010
Johnny is going to need a robot arm next year.
BullManUGA - August 25, 2010
thought he already had one
king of games - August 25, 2010
Prediction:
Venters will pitch like crap next season because he was overworked this season, people here will call for his head
Lennox - August 25, 2010
the smart ones will blame bobby
kbertling353 - August 25, 2010
who will pitch the 8th?
joshant - August 25, 2010
Saito
king of games - August 25, 2010
please, no
Kobe:The Legend - August 25, 2010
+whatever
least faith in him out over everyone but dunn
JKowalek - August 25, 2010
I know, I have a bad feeling about him today too.
king of games - August 25, 2010
The Good Phight has a freaking Braves-Rockies gamethread.

I don't doubt it... we would teh other way around.
jbeachbum24 - August 25, 2010
haven't seen one here
FitzFan - August 25, 2010
your telling me that during a day game waiting for our game to start if the rocks were coming back on the phils same situation you would be here?
jbeachbum24 - August 25, 2010
*wouldn’t
jbeachbum24 - August 25, 2010
You’re
MBL1 - August 25, 2010 via mobile
Yeah, thanks for clearing that up.
jbeachbum24 - August 25, 2010
No. Don't go out of my way to follow them. I ws just saying I haven't seen a Phoolies game thread on this site yet.
FitzFan - August 25, 2010
all 11 of their posters are excited!
Scott Coleman - August 25, 2010
hahahaha
MBL1 - August 25, 2010 via mobile
we should post an OT for their game tonight then.
jdeuel3868 - August 25, 2010
Halladay's pitching.........don't do that
Undocorkscrew - August 25, 2010
so we could be like TheGoodPhight? Why the hell would anyone want that? They have like 4 guys over there who know anything.
Scott Coleman - August 25, 2010
Typical Phils fans.
MBL1 - August 25, 2010 via mobile

KINGSLYTUT - August 25, 2010
That’s what happened last night. That’s what the west coast guys do when they have day games.

WTF happening with those guys
joshant - August 25, 2010
STFD!!
Jtpdolphins2009 - August 25, 2010
whew
JKowalek - August 25, 2010
Can Venters just pitch 5 innings every game?
king of games - August 25, 2010
Fuck it
Lets claim Manny
KJDH2154 - August 25, 2010
no thanks
TCfromDubVee - August 25, 2010
At least he can hit lefties
KJDH2154 - August 25, 2010
still whats his stat line?
he can not chase a ball that lands 10 ft away anymore either.
jdeuel3868 - August 25, 2010
like we need a 5th LF
jdeuel3868 - August 25, 2010
No, we need a STARTING left fielder
Undocorkscrew - August 25, 2010
Where other Braves pitches effectively shit the bed...
Venters follows closely behind scooping up the poop, leaving not a trace of their presence.

Scott Coleman - August 25, 2010
Leave venters in the 8th
fuck it
bpk228480 - August 25, 2010
1 2 3
inning OMG THATS ALLOWED
Erihury - August 25, 2010
Nope, he just got a three game suspension
king of games - August 25, 2010
Venters rocks. That is all.
jbeachbum24 - August 25, 2010
nicely done Venters
Jtpdolphins2009 - August 25, 2010
Looks like they can't hit lefties either.....
Undocorkscrew - August 25, 2010
Farnsworth for the 8th!!!
lol
pancanbra - August 25, 2010
banned
KJDH2154 - August 25, 2010
Well... do you want Saito?
ATLforlife - August 25, 2010
Dunn
Kobe:The Legend - August 25, 2010
I actually kinda like this.
ATLforlife - August 25, 2010
Over farnsworth?
Yes please
KJDH2154 - August 25, 2010
I thought Saito went yesterday, though?
ATLforlife - August 25, 2010
ha
Scott Coleman - August 25, 2010
LOVE IT!
KJDH2154 - August 25, 2010
One thing we all know:
When there’s a fire, call Venters.
ATLforlife - August 25, 2010
Thank you Jonny… my blood pressure has gone down a bit
SuperNewb - August 25, 2010 via mobile
Saito is bout to work in the 8th
KINGSLYTUT - August 25, 2010
hopefully with a 10 runs lead!
TCfromDubVee - August 25, 2010
i don't like this one bit...
atl192485 - August 25, 2010
I can't believe this all started with a walk to the pitcher!
Jay212033 - August 25, 2010
Braves, we need some runs mmmkay? Kthxbai
MBL1 - August 25, 2010 via mobile
Wags
for the 2 inning save!
king of games - August 25, 2010
wow even we scored 10 runs and had a 9 runs lead
our bullpen is bewing overworked
joshant - August 25, 2010
I think you're an 11-year-old
Undocorkscrew - August 25, 2010
why do you think that
joshant - August 25, 2010
They'll have tomorrow to rest up
Jay212033 - August 25, 2010
and will need it
Mr. Sanchez - August 25, 2010
that red rock amphitheater was incredible
JKowalek - August 25, 2010
Farnsworth is up...
jjhova12 - August 25, 2010
fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkk
atl192485 - August 25, 2010
Anyone else think Beimel's picture sucks?
ATLforlife - August 25, 2010
Oh my god...Farnsworth is warming up.
Scott Coleman - August 25, 2010
Farnsworth is going 1-2-3
Kobe:The Legend - August 25, 2010
a hit, a walk, and a K
you will see all of these in the 8th
leedawg - August 25, 2010

MBL1 - August 25, 2010 via mobile
10-run inning plz!!!
TonyAlmeyda - August 25, 2010
Sweet offense continues
bpk228480 - August 25, 2010
wtf.. can we not get a single hit anymore???
jjhova12 - August 25, 2010
Does Tulo...
hold it in his glove for 4 extra seconds purely to show off his throwing strength?
BravesRaleigh - August 25, 2010
lol
that’s exactly what he does.
Scott Coleman - August 25, 2010
He throws it as hard as he can every single play.
bpk228480 - August 25, 2010
im too slow.
oVecKid - August 25, 2010
Prado saw 2 pitches. How many did Heyward see?
BullManUGA - August 25, 2010
3 i think
TCfromDubVee - August 25, 2010
McCann hasn't seen any...
jjhova12 - August 25, 2010

TCfromDubVee - August 25, 2010
I want runz!
MBL1 - August 25, 2010 via mobile
this offense has gone back to their old form
Jtpdolphins2009 - August 25, 2010
ITS JUST A LEFT HANDED PITCHER WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU ALL?!?!
SuperNewb - August 25, 2010 via mobile
Anyone notice how HARD Tulu throws it every throw?
oVecKid - August 25, 2010
Helton probably has callouses even with the glove.
ATLforlife - August 25, 2010
this game is so bad
its getting posted about on the phillies blog
Slee - August 25, 2010
well the recap last night turned into Phillies Watch: August 24th, but their own thread is a little weird.
Scott Coleman - August 25, 2010
Would you all want them posting here?
jbeachbum24 - August 25, 2010
I’d just ban them…
Scott Coleman - August 25, 2010
Farnsworth up...
aw poop
KINGSLYTUT - August 25, 2010
What would it take to get us to at least be a threat to left handers?
NCChopper - August 25, 2010
its sad that even our righties cant hit them
bpk228480 - August 25, 2010
omar, prado, lee, and agon all hit righties better
or at least it seems that way
atl192485 - August 25, 2010
Pujols
king of games - August 25, 2010
Woohoo! At least BMac got on base.
NCChopper - August 25, 2010
MANNY!
I kid.
ATLforlife - August 25, 2010
I'd take him to be honest....
Infante
Heyward
Prado
Manny
McCann (with Ross once a week)
Lee (with Glaus once a week)
Melky/Ankiel
Gonzalez
looks pretty good to me.
Mr. Sanchez - August 25, 2010
agree
Kobe:The Legend - August 25, 2010
Yeah, but for 4 million and a prospect or two?
I’m not feeling it…
ATLforlife - August 25, 2010
No prospects...
unless they’re absolute scraps. Otherwise they pay the 4 mil.
Mr. Sanchez - August 25, 2010
Like Bobby is going to take on Manny Ramirez.
Scott Coleman - August 25, 2010
Why would he not?
we’ve dealt with bad ones before. And just how bad can he be in only two months, pushing for a World Series so he can prove his special status, and in a locker room loaded with strong, dominating, established personalities like Moylan, McCann, Huddy, Wags, Chipper, Lee, Gonzalez, Prado, Diaz, Lowe, Saito, etc.
Mr. Sanchez - August 25, 2010
Werth, Jayson.
Scott Coleman - August 25, 2010
itd be great if this was 2011
bpk228480 - August 25, 2010
Our offense clearly clocked out early today.
Lennox - August 25, 2010
They just touched down in Atlanta.
ATLforlife - August 25, 2010
or shot its wad.
oVecKid - August 25, 2010
And they should have after scoring 10 RUNS!!!
JJ and Moylan let them back in this game!
Jay212033 - August 25, 2010
ZOMG A HIT!!!!!
leedawg - August 25, 2010
WUT R THOZ!?!?!?

they put BMac was out and then after singled
joshant - August 25, 2010
A HIT! PRAISE BE UNTO ALLAH!
BullManUGA - August 25, 2010
just got back from work…why is it farnsworth is warming up? have we already used saito/wagner, etc?
Bravely going forward - August 25, 2010
Saito went yesterday I think?
Wags will be the closer because it is sadly a save situation.
ATLforlife - August 25, 2010
I don't want Saito
Wagner for the 9th, Venters/Moylan has been used
Kobe:The Legend - August 25, 2010
oh, my mistake, i was thinking we were at home
Bravely going forward - August 25, 2010
NO MORE LEFTIES!!!!
jjhova12 - August 25, 2010
melvin mora....
we’re done…
BravesRaleigh - August 25, 2010
are the rockies out of lefties yet?
atl192485 - August 25, 2010
yes
joshant - August 25, 2010
should be
jjhova12 - August 25, 2010
HR gets Heap to second
MBL1 - August 25, 2010 via mobile
HR gets Heap halfway to second
TonyAlmeyda - August 25, 2010
that would probably require DLee to hit a fastball….
Scott Coleman - August 25, 2010
ready for 3 right down the middle?
bpk228480 - August 25, 2010
oh my god….he did it! progress!

and 1002 RBI

BigG1392 - August 25, 2010
Interestingly, Lee hits righties better and Belisle pitches lefties better.
ATLforlife - August 25, 2010

The Rockies are worse than the Braves on Peachtree TV

On the radio they play like 3 commercials. The worst is the Napa Know-How commercial

You have to touch home. That’s all I know.
jbeachbum24 - August 25, 2010
it would be a single, out at second, i think

KJDH2154 - August 25, 2010
no
TCfromDubVee - August 25, 2010
yes
Kobe:The Legend - August 25, 2010
for what?
TCfromDubVee - August 25, 2010
for letting pitch Venter 2 innings
Kobe:The Legend - August 25, 2010
Venters
Kobe:The Legend - August 25, 2010
No.
When the alternative is Farnsworth, leaving Venters in is the right call.
SS451 - August 25, 2010
yeah, look what happened
Kobe:The Legend - August 25, 2010
Jurrjens deserves some blame too
deewill23 - August 25, 2010
Bobby never should have left him in.....and he definately overworked Jonny
KJDH2154 - August 25, 2010
i agree
doesn’t mean the game is completely on bobby.
atl192485 - August 25, 2010
second part is true
kbertling353 - August 25, 2010

SuperNewb - August 25, 2010 via mobile
As shitty as our pitching has been, our fucking offense hasnt done shit since the third inning.
bpk228480 - August 25, 2010
do NOT blame our offense if we lose this game. 10 runs should be PLENTY enough runs to win the game.
BravesFan2010 - August 25, 2010
I’m not blaming the offense….YOU CANT STOP SCORING THOUGH in Coors field
bpk228480 - August 25, 2010
we scored 10 runs
JKowalek - August 25, 2010
i don’t care when the came……. The board says 10
JKowalek - August 25, 2010
You have to add on….the rockies have scored a couple of runs every inning and BOOM its tied.
bpk228480 - August 25, 2010
our offense died the last 5 innings.
FitzFan - August 25, 2010
This just in!
Cargo is really really good.

Quite possibly our worst loss in a few years
MikeTrain - August 25, 2010
its still tied...
SouthernPanther - August 25, 2010
Games are NINE innings, not eight.
TonyAlmeyda - August 25, 2010
it's farnsworth
we should believe he’s going to f up until he proves otherwise

Possibly......

The game isn't even over!
You fairweather fans kill me!!!

This is comical
KJDH2154 - August 25, 2010
I can't imagine how the Braves pitching would look against an AL team like the Yankees.

And the calming smoke is all that helps

i honestly belive this game cost us the division
Bob Mackie - August 25, 2010
WTF are you even talking about?
Overreact much bub?
Cammando2317 - August 25, 2010
i think the Braves will become the 1st team in MLB
that all their lineup get a XBH (incluiding the pitcher) and have a 9 runs lead and can´t win
joshant - August 25, 2010

What a joke.

This may be the worst thing to possibly happen a the worst possible time
I just am so mad that I can’t even think straight right now…
BravesDawg16 - August 25, 2010
I blame Bobby Cox.
Farnsworth has been a nice pickup though…. oh wait.
BravesFanScout - August 25, 2010
what about
mclouth/lee/farns/chavez/agon/ankiel/melky
we’ve traded for a giant pile of suck
kbertling353 - August 25, 2010
We should abstain from playing any more road games, because this is what happens when you leave Turner Field.
Ivan the Great - August 25, 2010
The Braves are simply horrible on the road. By far the worst team on the road among division leaders in baseball. Thank God we are nearly unbeatable at home.
BravesFan2010 - August 25, 2010
farnsworth has pitched 6.2 innings since coming to the braves
he’s given up 9 runs and 7 earned runs…
SouthernPanther - August 25, 2010
About f—king time.
TonyAlmeyda - August 25, 2010
Classic
Bobby Cox overmanagement.

i bet rox fans who left early are kicking themselves
TCfromDubVee - August 25, 2010
I think every 10-15 posts in this thread
I’m going to reiterate that we’re fine, and shit like this happens. In order for the magic of baseball to take place, ONE team has to be on the losing end of it. This too shall pass.

How were those team any worse than the teams that went deep in the playoffs?

Our bullpen has been great, though.
Except for Farnsworth.

Kobe:The Legend - August 25, 2010
I agree. Venters was pitching for the 4th time in 5 days & asked to go 2 innings.
This is why pitching him in the Cubs blowout was a waste.

BravesFan2010 - August 25, 2010
The Braves are great on the road compared to the Rox.
FitzFan - August 25, 2010
The Braves are 29-37 on the road and the Rockies are 25-40. Not a HUGE difference.
BravesFan2010 - August 25, 2010
That's like a 6 game lead
That’s pretty damn huge.
AuditDawg - August 25, 2010
Umm, that's 3 1/2 buddy, you might wanna re-check your math.
BravesFan2010 - August 25, 2010
It was a bigger difference before this last trip.
FitzFan - August 25, 2010
yes it is, check there number on the road, beyond horrible. But you would need an open mind for that. Or get off your Braves sux train.
FitzFan - August 25, 2010
What the heck are you talking about. 29-37 and 25-40 is a 3.5 game difference.

Hyperbole much?
I personally thought game 3 against the Phillies last year was pretty bad.
AuditDawg - August 25, 2010
was that the one where KJ dropped what should have been the last out?
Slee - August 25, 2010
that game in Philly last year was just as bad….and I was there making it a million times worse for me
bpk228480 - August 25, 2010
Yeah right.
The loss in the NLDS against the Astros in 2005 in the game that went like 18 innings was horrific… and actually ended the season.
This is just a single L no matter how much it stings.
get swoll yunel - August 25, 2010
that game was 5 years ago
joshant - August 25, 2010
and we go and get the pitcher that blew that one for us…hmmmmm

*not 10 maybe 5
joshant - August 25, 2010
Nice qualifier.
The Philly game last year was still worse… cause it’s Philly.
get swoll yunel - August 25, 2010
the game when Braves blown a lot of run game lead?
well, i didn´t watch that game. so this game is worse, but i remember one time when the Braves blown a 8 run lead in the 9th against the mets
joshant - August 25, 2010
Hey..
all those people that called the sweep were right…
Never do that crap again.
jjhova12 - August 25, 2010
thats it Chip….Get excited when they make a play to end the fucking game on us….that was complete shit of a game

yep

whether its pitching or batting we will find a way to lose road games

and we are still in first no matter what happens tonight. The clubhouse just needs a spark now.
jbeachbum24 - August 25, 2010
fuck u phillies fans
fuck u JJ
fuck u Moylan
fuck u Failworst

sorry, but im so pissed after today game
joshant - August 25, 2010
yes, it's clearly TP's fault we lost while scoring 10 runs
leedawg - August 25, 2010
but after the 3rd inning, we cant hit anything
last night and before last night game, our offense have been awful
joshant - August 25, 2010
a 9 run lead
should be enough for any game your in. Our pitching just blew it that game.
steeeeezzzzzz - August 25, 2010
9 runs lead isn´t safe in Coors
Fucking Coors field. should be banned by MLB. players cant play 1000 meters above sea level. and Rockies player have inflated numbers.
joshant - August 25, 2010
I agree, but with our pitching
9 runs should be more than enough. It just didn’t happen, but I understand what your saying.
steeeeezzzzzz - August 25, 2010
so it's TP's fault that everyone put it into cruise control
because it seemed the game was over
leedawg - August 25, 2010
Really
I expected to see a lot of things in this thread, but cracking on Terry wasn’t one of them. There’s no way to sugarcoat this: that’s just fucking stupid.
Sam Jethroe - August 25, 2010
Well at least we go home now where we'll probably look like the best team in baseball and have a 3 game sweep.
BravesFan2010 - August 25, 2010
Worst loss of the season by far
Braves better fix this, while they are finding ways to win games at time
They can never seem to have both parts working at the same time
When the offense is going great, the pitching sucks ass.
When the pitching is dominate we can’t get any runs.
Jtpdolphins2009 - August 25, 2010

abraves - August 25, 2010

you are right
Jtpdolphins2009 - August 25, 2010

the road troubles and the road record. You have said the same thing over and over and over in this thread.
AlabamaTitans2009 - August 25, 2010
Of course the Braves won't lay down and die, they are going HOME after this series. They will probably totally dominate this weekend.
BravesFan2010 - August 25, 2010
positivity about the braves has left me until we win again...
TCfromDubVee - August 25, 2010
if we can't even win with a 9-run lead, we should be worried.
so far we’ve been lucky to hang on to the lead.
rubbles88 - August 25, 2010
These Braves must really suck
Not like they’re in first place or anything. Some of you people are just ridiculous. It’s one bad game. You play 162 of them. These happen to every single team that’s ever played baseball. Sometimes you folks make me ashamed to be part of this fanbase. Get a grip.
AuditDawg - August 25, 2010
correction, 3 bad games
TCfromDubVee - August 25, 2010
To be fair, losing a game after leading 10-1 is not common and certainly isn’t typical of most good teams. You can understand where the immense frustration is coming from, especially this late in the year.
But this team has been strange all year long… having the most last AB wins, having a 9 game losing streak, coming back from a 6 run deficit in the ninth, etc….
It’s just been a weird season.

joshant - August 25, 2010
I guess this is a make up for the Cincy game!
BravesFanScout - August 25, 2010
I blame this loss on Bobby. JJ should have been out in the 5th.
Then overuse Venters.
rubbles88 - August 25, 2010
True!
We also miss Medlen in this kind of games. He would come in a pitch really well in long relief. We don’t have anyone like that right now.
BravesFanScout - August 25, 2010
I was thinking if Minor could have come in to pitch for 1 or 2 innings
since he won’t be making his next start.
rubbles88 - August 25, 2010
Martinez
Kobe:The Legend - August 25, 2010
I wouldn't blame Bobby...
the normally reliable pitchers just faulted.
abraves - August 25, 2010
While it's hard to see a bright side
we got swept and still will begin our next game at least a game up. Obviously the way we lost today especially is beyond painful, if you had told me before this series that we would get swept, with the Phillies at home against Houston, I would have figured we would be out of first by the time we made it back to Atlanta. Hopefully this will light a fire and we’ll get going on another streak, this time one of the winning variety.
Cayla - August 25, 2010
if the phillies win their next 2
we are only up 1/2 a game by the time our next series starts
Jtpdolphins2009 - August 25, 2010
wrong
we’ll be up by 1 full game
leedawg - August 25, 2010
ok right 1 game
Jtpdolphins2009 - August 25, 2010
If Phillies win tonight
that would make it 1 1/2 right, then if they win tomorrow, they make up another 1/2 game, making that a 1 game lead. I thought? This game fried my brain a little so I might not be thinking straight.
Cayla - August 25, 2010
Now the contending teams know how to beat us - lefty pitcher.
rubbles88 - August 25, 2010
I simply can not have confidence in this team until I see improvement on the road. GREAT teams know how to win on the road.
BravesFan2010 - August 25, 2010
Bring on the trolls.....
I am probably going to stay away from here until Friday. Don’t feel like reading all of the “Sky Is Falling” posts.
Friday will be another game. Just like this one was…..one game.
I will probably go play MLB 2010 The Show and beat up on some players online to get some frustration out in the meantime.
My PSN username is: dragonhawk28 if anyone wants to add me and get some games going.

HELLO!! we blew a 10-1 lead and are in a tight pennant race
I think many have a right to be pessimistic after this
Jtpdolphins2009 - August 25, 2010
now Phillies have 2 games before we play again.
hopefully, phillies will lose at least one of those games
joshant - August 25, 2010
the sky isn't falling
but if you aren’t a little bit pissed then something wrong is with you.

What they did to D’Onofrio in Full Metal Jacket.
Of course, that might not pay off in the long run…
Sam Jethroe - August 25, 2010
Why bobby bring Failworst
their numbers in Coors Field are terrible

A Phillies loss tonight would make this hurt a heck of a lot less
GO ASTROS!!
Jtpdolphins2009 - August 25, 2010
We can't always depend on the Phillies losing when we lose.
BravesFan2010 - August 25, 2010
Totally agree.
We should be taking care of our business and don’t have to worry about the Phillies.
rubbles88 - August 25, 2010

ESPN will show us tonight
joshant - August 25, 2010
What the hell did you just say?
BullManUGA - August 25, 2010
im saying. Early today when we are winning 10-1,
someone demands that ESPN should Braves tonight, but that wouldn´t happen.
now we´ve blown a 9 runs lead, so ESPN will show
joshant - August 25, 2010

Giants just tied it up 10-10.
BullManUGA - August 25, 2010

ZOMG NO WAY. ONLY TEH BRAVEZ SUCK
leedawg - August 25, 2010
Wow
just goes to show…
Cayla - August 25, 2010
Reds have had some epic fails this year
joshant - August 25, 2010
I normally would be very upset and worried about the future following a loss like this if this happened at home or any other stadium. But this kind of crazy shit has happened all the time at Coors Field for the last 17 years.
I told the people I was watching the game with not to get too excited because a 10-1 lead means absolutely jack shit in this ball park. The only time you get confident about a lead in Coors Field is when you have recorded 3 outs in the bottom of the 9th inning.
I’m not even that upset about it. It would have been nice to salvage the series, but you almost have to kind of expect this kind of hokus pokus to happen at Coors Field.
Braves just need to take a day off, relax, watch the Phillies try to salvage a series split against the Astros (lol), come home, bash the now-Cantu/Coghlan/Ross/Paulino-less Marlins and the derelict Mets for 7 games while the Phillies are out west.
Thank God the Braves play 20 of their last 35 at home.
AnEternalEnigma - August 25, 2010
This is going to take one hell of a speech to make them forget about this loss
jpad25 - August 25, 2010
Not really. The players are probably numb to this point about losses like this in Coors Field. Bobby after the game will probably give the same old “We played well, it just happens here sometimes” spiel to the press after the game.
AnEternalEnigma - August 25, 2010
yeah, I think you have to go into a series at Coors like their going to be little league games. Because that’s basically what they are. Pitching means next to nothing in that ballpark
jpad25 - August 25, 2010
It happens, but.........
The Rockies have tossed 12 shutouts this year, and I believe at least half of them were at home.
The Rockies staff ERA at home is 4.07. This isn’t your dad’s Coors Field, in the humidor era.
The average runs per game scored is down about six full runs from the pre-humidor era.
Mondogarage - August 25, 2010
I think a lot of that has to do with mr. jimenez
jpad25 - August 25, 2010
Some, a lot less than you'd think
Ubaldo’s home ERA is 3.09.
Mondogarage - August 25, 2010
i am kinda intrigued by the numbers. How much of it is the humidor, and how much of it is Colorado having a much better pitching staff than they used to
jpad25 - August 25, 2010
That's an interesting question, and one I can't fully answer
Rox teams from 2003-2005 were pretty damn mediocre, so I guess you can compare staff home ERA from 2000-2002, to 2003-2005 (I believe ’03 was the first humidor year).
But guys like Cook and Francis were the start of us building a better staff, and by 2007, the pitching was pretty good. Without checking, I’m pretty certain that the years 2007 through 2010 represent the four best team ERAs in club history (2008 excepted, which was an off year).
I do know that 2009 was our best staff ever (and over 100 quality starts). And that the team ERA in 2010 is improved upon 2009, though the pen has shouldered a bigger load this year than last.
If I had to make a wild ass guess, I’d credit about 40% of it to better pitching, and 60% of it to the humidor. Numbers at Coors will still be higher than many parks, just because the outfield is so big. But it’s definitely no longer LOLCOORZ. Games like today happen about 6-8 times a year, not 50-60.
Mondogarage - August 25, 2010
Ugh
I’m gonna step away from baseball for the night have a couple beers and wake up in the morning hoping the phillies lose…. Def not time to give up not even close..i did slam a couple doors though made me feel better
ottie - August 25, 2010 via mobile
glad to get away from Coors Field
joshant - August 25, 2010
1 out for the Reds in the 9th now.
BullManUGA - August 25, 2010
if the reds lose too
can TC and RR have, like, a joint crying party?
atl192485 - August 25, 2010
Reds just tied it up thanks to bad defense.
BullManUGA - August 25, 2010
Phillies also have one hell of a road trip coming up…of course this means nothing but our chances on picking up games had to go up
ottie - August 25, 2010 via mobile
I feel sorry for whoever has to do the recap of this game on here. Typing every word is going to be a painful experience
jpad25 - August 25, 2010
Scott said his recap would be 2 sentences.
BullManUGA - August 25, 2010
