Who is the Braves greatest pitcher of all time?

Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, and Dylan

KENSHIN KAWAKAMI.

Ok here is the scenario, it’s game 7 of the World Series and the other team is sending out their Ace. Who are you going to send out there for the Win?

Kenshin MotherF’ing Kawakami.

Thank you. His name is not Kenshin Kawakami. It is Kenshin motherf’ing Kawakami.

Denny Neagle (Starter)
John Rocker (closer)

It’s about time I am able to post. I’m a short-time lurker, long-time poster. I also have internet forum-posting dyslexia.

lol nice.

WINZWINZWINZ

Let’s go Bravos!

E6

Go Omar

PFFT they scored that an E6 and not a hit.

This thread stinks

Still haven’t scored any runs yet

and our shitty pitcher game is over…

Terry Mulholland

Jorge Sosa

John Burkett

MIKE JONES!

who?

Denny Naegle

Paul Byrd

You're growing less obscure, here. I think that signals the game ending

Still, Pete Smith. Or Zane Smith.

Jason Shiell

Pascual Perez

Tim Spooneybarger (spelling?) or better yet
Kerry Lightenburg

thief!

So CBS gametracker is awesome

It just listed Willie Cabrera as the pinch hitter

Zach Towery - August 4, 2010 reply

That would be cool.

I’d rather have Manny Mota, though.

He’s Melky’s cousin from Phoenix. He works as a roofing contractor, but sometimes he moonlights as a ballplayer.

Do we need a runz thread with a 3 run lead?

Depends if Fansworth is coming in.

AUTOsingle.

If Medlen has to miss some time (which I hope its just a strain), hopefully Bobby will call up Mike Minor instead of using KK.

Bad defense will make the Mets a perennial powerhouse!

This is hilarious.

Also: my prediction came true!

thank the mets defense!

I do, every day!

I seriously burst out laughing, almost spitting out my pasta

Do not anger Mario and Luigi. They know people.

interestingly enough

we are 0-for-2 with bases loaded this game, but 3 runs have scored

I might have to get my oil change on tomorrow

who did they give the error to?

THIS

I hate the Marlins more than anything on earth....

yup they can beat us but they cant beat philly

Even more than Philly?

Infinately more than the Phillies.....

More than women who wear ultra revealing clothing but then glare at you if you look at them?

Is that really anywhere near the top of your hate-list?

I’m a complete pervert, so…..yes.

Still seems like it’s not that big a deal. For a pervert, the lack of revealing clothing would be far worse, no?

nice job hinske…continuing to rake

Has he even seen 5 pitches tonight?

it sure doesn’t seem like it

Can we trade this MacCan guy? He’s awful with the striking out and throwing the ball into CF and not shaking his ass properly.

Letter? is that you?

I have channeled The Letter and am speaking through that individual.

with a 5 run lead will we see kk tonight

noooooooooo

MBL1 - August 4, 2010 via mobile reply

Oh, they were plenty,

so you don’t have to take it personally :)

haters keep hatin'

we can still whine about the inevitable KK start that is forthcoming

Why whine about that? I look forward to KK finally getting to pitch.

because we are in a tight race

and i don’t want the guy who has thrown 1 inning (which was a smashing success by the way) since mid-june to get thrown back into our rotation. enough guys are struggling right now as it is, we dont need some rustyfuck in there who was not very good at the start of the year anyway.

That is specious.

KK has been good in the rotation and there’s no reason to think he wouldn’t continue to be good. You are WAY overrating the power of rust, presumably because you aren’t able to make an actual rational argument against KK starting.

Kenshin Kawakami.

Glad you see things my way, mvhs.

I see things the Kenshin Kawakami way.

You're being a douche

You're being a douche

what are you, an 8 year old?

I am the Walrus!

4.75 era is good?

thats odd since everyone complains about derek lowe and his 4.4 ERA

A) That's not his ERA in the rotation; it's 4.48

B) ERA is not a great indicator of performance; KK has been at least as good as Lowe, and actually pretty comparable to Medlen except for walk rate.
C) A 4.48 ERA is pretty good, actually.

I would take it

considering the fact that I can’t throw a fastball 60 mph

how is ERA not a good indicator of performance?

God I don't want to get into this now.

It’s OK, not great. Go read FanGraphs.

look i get it, you always take up for the guy nonstop.

My point is, we aren’t in a position where we can allow a guy 2 or 3 starts to shake off the rust. If you don’t think this time off will affect him, you’re nuts.

What makes you think

rust will take 2 or 3 starts to shake off? And what makes you think Minor can just jump right into the bigs and be above-average?

I stick up for KK because people are irrationally opposed to him. I oppose irrational people, generally speaking.

what makes you think he will jump right in and be so great?

Also, salary reasons aside, why are you so opposed to giving someone else a chance. You were the same way before Medlen got a shot in the rotation, and that turned out alright. I say throw Minor out there, it works for other teams all the time.

The Medlen part of that decision worked out

the KK part did not. My whole argument was not against Meds, but for KK. He needs to be in the rotation, Medlen thrived in the bullpen. Instead we put Medlen in the rotation (where he got hurt) and KK in the bullpen (where he was forgotten).

When you have a pitcher like KK who can pitch well in MLB, you don’t call up a guy who’s had like 4 starts in AAA. Other teams don’t have guys like KK.

Also, I never said KK would be great. But he would be plenty good for a 5th starter.

This is a lame argument to have in a game thread.

And you’re wrong.

So drop it, look up why you’re wrong in your free time, and then come back to us.

-C

how is an opinion wrong?

thats a very ignorant thing to say.

Brash, maybe. But not ignorant.

-C

Ignorant. The guy has a pint & isn’t wrong. Who’s to say Meds wouldn’t have gotten hurt in the BP?

KK isn’t good enough were he needs to be in the rotation.

it can be your best friend

or worst enemy

Performance and results are not necessarily identical

Especially when talking about pitchers.

over a long enough time,...

I disagree

Over a partial season, though,

they are often very different.

Man

our offense is such a joke

like a Smoltz joke?

“Our offense walks into a bar…”

Then

Jeff Francouer says to Alex Gonzalez…

OBP is important and mine is higher than yours

IF OBP were important...

It’d be on the scoreboard.

Frenchy’s OBP isn’t higher than Sea Bass’s, FYI.

-C

Just this year

Career

Frenchy .309 OBP
Alex Gonzalez .295 OBP

Both are pretty funny

They both suck, so what’s the difference

Are you a Mets fan

MBL1 - August 4, 2010 via mobile reply

Have you been watching the game

same old story except 4 errors?

1-9 RISP

right, becuase RISP sums up the offense

and doesn’t ignore the two solo HRs and the RBI double to bring in chipper from first

bravesforever16 - August 4, 2010 reply

Even though

we got the two home runs, this game would still be close, if we weren’t playing the ~~nationals~~ Mets defense

ehhh…mac and chip are having great nights….mets GREATLY helped us out tonight

yeah

missed their back to back earlier, Pelfrey has been pretty bad lately

Hinske has seen like 5 pitches tonight. #fail

Zeus12888 - August 4, 2010 reply

all mets need is an error from castillo

to complete the around-the-horn error sweep

sucks that Chipper won't get credited for the RBIs cause of the error..

could have had a huge night!!

i still love him

MBL1 - August 4, 2010 via mobile reply

isnt it a FC and an error…giving him credit for the RBI? since you cant assume a DP

Yes.

I like when you confirm what I say.

Yes, you do.

Still only one RBI though, no? Since the second advanced on the error?

Yes.

Kenshin Kawakami is better.

Phillies have the bases loaded in the top of the 5th

Marlins are making a pitching change. It’s Taylor Tankersley coming in to relieve Sanchez.

That does not bode well.

that's why

we need to win

I feel like Taylor Tankersley would be a better pitcher

If he had a better name.

So, are the Phils the Yank of the NL in regard to the bottomless pit of money?

sounds about right

No

If they were they would have resigned Cliff Lee.

it's basically the Yanks, Phils, BoSox and Angels...

angels?

Angels have a lots of money

check the payroll for the past 3 years.

they are down a bit this year..

esco, maybe

but mclouth? no way…

Gonzalez’s numbers since coming here are hands down better than Escobar’s were this season.

-C

In a smaller sample.

i agree

but escobar’s OBP was valuable on this team, and personally i think our offense benefits from it more than a-gon

Escobar’s OBP was lower than Gonzalez’s is.

You’re judging Gonzalez based upon your perception of the trade, not how he’s done.

It’s okay, so is almost everyone else.

-C

has*

-C

AGon’s 2010 OBP: .303
Yunel’s 2010 OBP: .330

For the year, yes.

For the Braves, no.

-C

on a 70 PA sample size?

My argument was that he’s done better than Escobar did for us since he’s been traded here.

So yes.

-C

okay, then we are arguing apples and oranges

Actually, I’m arguing apples to apples. There’s just very few apples so far.

Everyone else is arguing apples to oranges.

-C

No he’s judging on facts. You are wrong. Esco has the better .OBP & has been better since the trade.

Even up 5,

It’s good to see AGon still firey after a DP.

That’s emotion too.

+1

Medlen's injury.....

Good thing the Braves didn’t trade their top pitching prospects at the deadline in such a garbage market. Can never have too much pitching depth….

The downside is(obviously Medlen getting injured is a downside) that there’s no way the Braves move Kawakami now.

Marlins got a run, its 4-2 now

they have 2nd and 3rd, 2 outs in the bottom of the 5th

Boy we could use a Marlins W

When I was in New York for the last series before the all star break, the Mets fans were saying Chipper is going to be just like Brett Favre and prolong his retirement and draw so much attention to himself..

aw c’mon. Chipper wouldn’t do that.

MBL1 - August 4, 2010 via mobile reply

Mets fans are green with envy he never played for them.

Let's go JHEY

Some insurance would be nice.

lol at smoltz.

MBL1 - August 4, 2010 via mobile reply

Heyward is due for a hit here.

Or not.

Maybe against Weedy McHempfiend.

heyward 0-5

ouch

DFA

I think he’s ROE a couple times

MBL1 - August 4, 2010 via mobile reply

Dammit

Heyward, to keep them from pitching you away, hit it the other way

AUTOgroundout

wow Heyward

So i just realized

that I only have 11 games left after this one until I move up to Pennsylvania and wont get to watch the games every night. Makes me kinda sad really

Chipper on base every time tonight!

Heyward for Cash

Do eeet Wren.

you for a mets fan?

do it wren lol

or worse a phillie fan?

damn chip….great game

Keith Hernandez

Just called Chipper “Darth Vader”

LOL

did he give any reason?

other than he's killin it

Nope...they were just commenting on...

him being the ultimate Muts killer

I didn't realize

Chipper was also an asthmatic.

His stache is trash.

Keith Hernandez is looking for another athlete for the just for men commercials

reports are he got mad at Emmitt Smith cuz he wouldnt teach him how to dance

Damn Mac

got the bat throw working, not as good as yesterday’s though

geez brian

how bout some pine tar?

He’s no Raw Dog.

raw dogging some randoms…

TWSS

another flying bat for Heap?

Chipper..

saves his best for the Mets.. Love it..

McCann.. Hold on to the bat for crying out loud!

No way Chipper is going to retire

after this season. He still loves the game too much, imo.

I think he's going to retire

except for the series against the Mets.

only way I see him going would be with a world series win. If we won though I bet he would go out on top

McCann is going to injure someone man

that guy

he hit with the bat last night, looked like he was hit pretty square

Was the guy not paying attention? I don’t get how he doesnt get his hands up to deflect it or something

not sure

they were checking like it hit him in the face

That’s what he gets for basically wearing a suit and tie to the ball game

haha

I noticed that too… I was thinking who is this douche

Douche = your comments.

LOL I saw that and said to myself “He probably deserves it”

i mean…even if you’re coming from work, you could always throw a shirt and some shorts into your car

So he deserves to be injured for being well dressed? That’s stupid.

McCann is gonna knock someone’s head off if he keeps doing that. Geez, dude.

MBL1 - August 4, 2010 via mobile reply

he pretty much did last night..

Chipper

if he gets hot, it could be huge going down the stretch.

If he gets hot

man look out

If he ~~gets~~ stays hot

I remember when it was Julio Franco doing that on a nightly basis.

He swung one handed

while eating 15 egg whites

Screw it, this deserves to be linked tonight.

"We got Cy Young winners over here!"

one of the best commercials ever

Never gets old. Actually gets even funnier post-steroids.

That commercial

never ever gets old.

see above

this made me very happy!

That has to be the most epic forearm bump ever.

They need to play that on the big screen Friday

MBL1 - August 4, 2010 via mobile reply

of course the phillies load the bases with 1 out in the next half inning

it IS the marlins bullpen...

Brooksy at 3rd. :)

MBL1 - August 4, 2010 via mobile reply

Farnsworth????

Wags….warm up!

we're winning by 5

I know, but um...

it’s Farnsworth

Nice to get Farnsworth back out there

It's nice to have a non-nail bitter for once.

Farnsworth better not fuck this up.

I hope Wags is stretching in the pen

I mean they BOTH gave up a run last night

we'll be fine no worries

Wags needs the down time.

and venters

Both

No question about it

I’d like to see him get a couple days off

is it bad that i want fransworth

to plunk reyes, then charge him at home plate?

That's perfectly acceptable as far as I'm concerned

AuditDawg - August 4, 2010 reply

plunk reyes..

charge Frenchy in the dugout..

Nah...I picture

Nolan Ryan vs. Robin Ventura

Good news everyone! If Farnsworth is in, then....

Braves game?

ding ding ding

MBL1 - August 4, 2010 via mobile reply

Going to the game. I’ve mentioned that a million times, but I’m as excited as a 5 year old, haha.

MBL1 - August 4, 2010 via mobile reply

I hope the weather cools down for ya.

Retiring Glavine’s #, could be a long evening, but well worth it.

Like Greg Norton's at bats last year

I’m Out! Have a good night TC followers.

Back atcha

Kyle Farnsworth in 2010

is no different than he was in 2005.

He didn’t get better, or older. Just five years crazier.

not the closer. Big Difference.

They said in KC...

he’d learned to scale back a bit more and less it sink. We’ll see though. First impression, I concur.

come on farnsworth

nice out pitch

Nasty

farny this is not funny

1 more = series win

first one since before the ASB

we beat the Padres, didn't we?

did we? I was working 8 days straight that week i think..

series get kind of blurry..

yes, we did

Won the first and third games.

yea.. I just checked.. good call..

well.. still, one is not enough i say!

I remember those….

One more

please

How much is this worth?

Well…nothing now.

HAHAHAHAHAAHA.

Go sit down Reyes, or Farnsworth will take your thyroid medication away.

he can hit 100

Farnsworth has awesome glasses

Mr Magoo

Give 'em the heater Ricky

Ball 4, ball 8, ball 12

I only got one thing to say to you...

How can they lay off pitches this close?

"Do you want me to go get him?"

“Na, let’s see how he reacts.”

Dave Mustaine says

“Winning is our business and business is good.”

cmon get him!

SMH

Make him put the ball in play for Chrissssakes

I like how the old man was the first off the bench, there

Cat-like.

Prado is hilarious.

I’m laughing my ass off at the dugout antics.

Same here. Especially Chipper scrambling.

MBL1 - August 4, 2010 via mobile reply

Odarp lol

LMAO

Martin Prado is the fucking man.

hop on a plane and go to the final series of the year against philly….I think I’m making the 13 hour drive down

ill definitely think about it. I’ll see if the $$$ and school schedule work out

I only have classes monday and wednesday so I’m good there…money is always a question too

I've got tickets for Bobby Cox night

they suck, but I don’t even care.

If i decide within the next few days that I’m going I’m buying the cheapest tickets for all three games and making it a weekend.

I do like Jair too...

I hope we can find a way to move KK and Lowe in the offseason to keep him.

I don't think we have to move those guys to keep him.

We need to move at least one, if not two (and make room for Mike Minor)

Although...

if we can just move KK, I can see leaving Minor in AAA as 6th man (injury)

Farnsworth has already throw 24 pitches

lol Prado has a glove for catching the balls

MBL1 - August 4, 2010 via mobile reply

and a shield too!

I love Marteeen so much

MBL1 - August 4, 2010 via mobile reply

that was funny

Hurry up Farnsworth

lets go

Damnit

ahhh come on farns….

Just throw at him and get this PA over with.
