I really think we need to win this within two extra innings. I’m confident in Moylan and Farnsworth, but I really don’t want to see Martinez and there is no way Saito can go three days in a row if Bobby is hesitant to use him two days in a row.
Ah, I knew I was forgetting someone. I don’t have quite as much confidence in him just because it would be a high leverage situation and he is a rookie, but he is still solid.
I get the feeling Bobby really doesn’t trust Dunn and Farnsworth yet. I know Moylan should be good for two innings, but it still seems odd, especially with a lefty leading off.
TAKE HIM OUT! TAKE HIM OUT! TAKE HIM OUT! TAKE HIM OUT! TAKE HIM OUT! TAKE HIM OUT! TAKE HIM OUT! TAKE HIM OUT! TAKE HIM OUT! TAKE HIM OUT! TAKE HIM OUT! TAKE HIM OUT! TAKE HIM OUT! TAKE HIM OUT! TAKE HIM OUT! TAKE HIM OUT! TAKE HIM OUT! TAKE HIM OUT! TAKE HIM OUT! TAKE HIM OUT! TAKE HIM OUT! TAKE HIM OUT! TAKE HIM OUT! TAKE HIM OUT! TAKE HIM OUT! TAKE HIM OUT! TAKE HIM OUT! TAKE HIM OUT!

TAKE HIM OUT! TAKE HIM OUT! TAKE HIM OUT! TAKE HIM OUT!
Could we seriously please quit trying to hand teams games. It seems like almost every game we lose these days happens because we just royally screw up in key situations.
we’re one hot hitter away from lots of O knockin in those stranded runners and we just keep giving up runs real late… we have the pitching its just time to use it at the right time
I think our team needs to look at how the Giants are scoring their runs and try to follow suit. Only hitting solo home runs isn’t going to win us many games.
Epitome of the braves since the all star break. Terrible managing, losing the close ones, and no fire. Heyward had a good series off the DL now his avg is back below .260. Philly is ONE game back not fucking THIRTY. If the panic button hasn’t been pressed it has to be pressed now. NO way we make the playoffs playing near this type of baseball; disgusting and disheartening
and while I’m in rage mode…QUIT SUCKING BILLY! I know tonight wasn’t all your fault but hasn’t been good at all since the ASB. He’ll he got lucky last night that HR barely missed
It would be beyond unbearable to lose this division to the Phils. I hate them more than anything in the world. I still have faith in the Braves, but the Phillies are winning and hitting WITHOUT Utley, Howard, Victorino, etc. and that is just very disturbing
They won’t keep that up. Their bench is not good. They won’t get to play the Mets every game. And they also won’t get wins handed to them every game. We just have to be patient and realize that when we play them, we will be able to widen our lead in the division.
I really hate losing games like this. I like to at least feel like the other team just outplayed us, but the fact his we handed them this game on a silver platter. Seems like we have been doing that a lot lately.
Well it’s really no secret that we struggle against lefties. And Diaz had a big 0-fer which didn’t help, especially since he is supposed to rake lefties. And Glaus can’t get a hit to save his life right now. So those two struggling makes a team that already has trouble with lefties look even worse. The problem is, our solution to the Glaus problem probably won’t be any better against lefties.
Hardly. Glaus is the only glaring hole right now. And if he doesn’t get it turned around, we have a guy in the minors who can probably help. If he does get it turned around, it’s going to make this offense explode, just like it did in May and June.
Give as many people the day off as possible, let Melky play right for a game or two, Ross should get a start tomorrow, And give Chipper/Infante the day off.
Also, as much as losing this game sucks major balls, the Braves are still in first. Who knows? The Phillies could start losing tomorrow and the Braves could start hitting again and getting their big lead back.
There are 53 more games left. The season is not over.
How does anyone know if the Phillies will win tomorrow? Saturday will be Santana vs. Hamels while we have Tim Hudson pitching. There’s a good chance the Braves can win tomorrow and the Phillies will lose.
I expect the Braves to break their funk tomorrow and when all is said and done, the Braves will be the ones winning the East.

Moylan hopefully

JKowalek - August 6, 2010
This loss is going to be tough to swallow. (if we do actually lose)
Pitchers did extremely well and the defense blows it.
Not that it’s over, but man what a crappy way for the pitchers to have this hung on them (Wagner).

that'd be ideal
SouthernPanther - August 6, 2010
Nah, Brooksy
ATLforlife - August 6, 2010
but that requires hit with bases loaded = RISP
atl192485 - August 6, 2010
walks perhaps….
Joseph_C - August 6, 2010
i love me some aussie but lets get through this inning
JKowalek - August 6, 2010
That would be cool….I mean, if you’re into that kind of thing.
Scott Coleman - August 6, 2010
honestly, i don't expect jhey to hit a HR the way he is hitting
rubbles88 - August 6, 2010
sadly yes.
Joseph_C - August 6, 2010
Until he has time to let his thumb to heal
I don’t see him hitting for powah
HEYJUDE - August 6, 2010
I really think we need to win this within two extra innings. I’m confident in Moylan and Farnsworth, but I really don’t want to see Martinez and there is no way Saito can go three days in a row if Bobby is hesitant to use him two days in a row.
sleezer1788 - August 6, 2010
I'd be fine with Dunn too.
ATLforlife - August 6, 2010
Ah, I knew I was forgetting someone. I don’t have quite as much confidence in him just because it would be a high leverage situation and he is a rookie, but he is still solid.
sleezer1788 - August 6, 2010
come on moylan, don’t lose him
bpk228480 - August 6, 2010
Great start
bpk228480 - August 6, 2010
amazing though, Braves should have been up 3 games last night
umps epic fail and hand the phillies a win, and now there is a chance we could only be up 1 game after tonight
Jtpdolphins2009 - August 6, 2010

And I don’t know how well this guy runs, but Moylan is easy to steal off of I would think.

Haha or not.

Lead off walks are fun.
I’m going to go start a humorous blog about it. My mascot will be fried scallops.

Why not?
cygnusxs - August 6, 2010
sounds too delicious for a humorous leadoff walk blog
atl192485 - August 6, 2010
5 outs til scallops.
Hmm, you may be right. I can only live in a world where scallops are 2 outs or less away.

he's really good..
I watch the Giants all the time. Just be glad Huff and Posey aren’t clicking this series or we’d really be in trouble..
jjhova12 - August 6, 2010
I advocated trading for him about a week ago.
The guy has been tearing it up since he was put in as the starting leadoff man.

he's like the giants version of angel pagan

How’d ya like that – walk, hit, caught stealing, dp. Sorta like the Phils last night – almost wasted a rally with a pickoff and a caight stealing
iamthesgt - August 6, 2010
I think it would only be fitting for someone to hit a solo home run to win this thing. I don’t even care who does it.

JKowalek - August 7, 2010

jjhova12 - August 7, 2010
I miss Andruw.
Scott Coleman - August 7, 2010
ANDRUWOO
He lost his MVP bag. Before that he was awesome.

AnKiel strikes (out) again...
Bob Mackie - August 7, 2010
Hey, didn't YOU have a Javier once?

13 Brave Strikeouts on the night = pitifully pitiful.
Joseph_C - August 7, 2010
Make that 14
Joseph_C - August 7, 2010
Rick Ankiel swings at every single pitch
CJ10JHEY22 - August 7, 2010
He hasn’t become acclimated to the 2010 Braves way of doing things yet.
sleezer1788 - August 7, 2010
Hinske vs a left hander?
Bob Mackie - August 7, 2010
they've had us look bad A LOT tonight
you gotta hand it to Zito and their bullpen
JayF - August 7, 2010
Only lefty we have not counting the SP
victor frankenstein - August 7, 2010
i think we've given up on manufacturing runs
now we are just swinging as hard as we can at everything just incase

BravesDawg16 - August 7, 2010
Of course Infante would get on base.
Let’s go HEYWARD
Duff_Man - August 7, 2010
Heyward,
Please do not become the third lefty to strike out pitifully in this inning.
sleezer1788 - August 7, 2010
These K’s are ridiculous
FitzFan - August 7, 2010
C’mon JHEY
Zeus12888 - August 7, 2010
190 abs without a HR and counting….
bpk228480 - August 7, 2010
that's unbelieveable
SouthernPanther - August 7, 2010
lost his power hitting
rubbles88 - August 7, 2010
how many for Glaus?
RichmondBraves - August 7, 2010
over 100…not sure how many exactly
bpk228480 - August 7, 2010
as long as no one is in scoring position..
Dee-Az - August 7, 2010
Omar
trying to make up for that dropped ball
HEYJUDE - August 7, 2010
Lets go Heyward
Bob Mackie - August 7, 2010
Come on Kid…you’re so due.
Scott Coleman - August 7, 2010
Hey, a ball finally!
iamthesgt - August 7, 2010
Tough call
Duff_Man - August 7, 2010
All B-Mac’s throws have been on the money tonight
FitzFan - August 7, 2010
Heyward walkoff grandslam any second now.
Infante NOT in scoring position. We can do this.
cygnusxs - August 7, 2010
or not,WHATEVS.
cygnusxs - August 7, 2010
grandslam with 1 runner on-base. Yeah.
iamthesgt - August 7, 2010
Poop
Duff_Man - August 7, 2010
...just leave a slider out over the plate
Dee-Az - August 7, 2010
More groundballs to the right side from Heyward
bpk228480 - August 7, 2010
Man, I’d love to see Heyward hit to left field sometime….
NCChopper - August 7, 2010
damn it
atleast he didnt K
Erihury - August 7, 2010
fail again
Jtpdolphins2009 - August 7, 2010
fail again
Jtpdolphins2009 - August 7, 2010

HEYJUDE - August 7, 2010
Good lord Jason…that’s all you do anymore.
Scott Coleman - August 7, 2010
agreed, i'm worrying man
Kobe:The Legend - August 7, 2010
I'm only a bit worried- Mostly about the ground balls and chasing low pitches
He seems to have improved in terms of hitting to the opposite field
Londonjoe - August 7, 2010
sweet..
another grounder chopped into the ground right in front of home plate by Heyward
jjhova12 - August 7, 2010
ugh.... another chopper by the kid
BravesDawg16 - August 7, 2010
that was very predictable
Bob Mackie - August 7, 2010
Remember - I called three extra innings, tops.
Don’t let me down.
victor frankenstein - August 7, 2010
FUCK THIS IS PATHETIC
SouthernPanther - August 7, 2010
Weak. Weak. Weak. 3 outs.
ryantex - August 7, 2010
I meant: Weak. Weak. Good. Weak.
ryantex - August 7, 2010
Fricking Heyward perfecting the Mellky chop
HalleyGator - August 7, 2010
with as anemic as the offense is
we may take 20 innings to score a run
Jtpdolphins2009 - August 7, 2010
sorta scares me that the only way we are scoring is HRs now...and solo HRs for that matter
SouthernPanther - August 7, 2010
no martineeeeeeyyyy no one on
JKowalek - August 7, 2010
Maybe Chipper'll triple for the cycle now...likely? no.
iamthesgt - August 7, 2010
if chipper triples to lead off the 11th
how will we score?
atl192485 - August 7, 2010
Sac Fly.
Joseph_C - August 7, 2010
Anyway but 3 K's
iamthesgt - August 7, 2010
He will miss the cycle by getting an inside the park HR.
Duff_Man - August 7, 2010
He hasn't tripled all year.
iamthesgt - August 7, 2010
who thought that BENGIE MOLINA could do the cycle?
why not Chipper?
Kobe:The Legend - August 7, 2010
strike out, strike out, strike out but the ball gets by the catcher, chipper scores, and the batter is safe at first with a walk-off strike out
SouthernPanther - August 7, 2010
Lol...wouldn't thant be a great headline...esp. if it was by the pitcher (that's his spot)
iamthesgt - August 7, 2010
We will hit a foul ball and the ump will call it fair.
ryantex - August 7, 2010
99% likelyhood.
If Benjie can do it, anyone can.
cygnusxs - August 7, 2010
good point
iamthesgt - August 7, 2010
who comes in now?
pemo stays in?
SouthernPanther - August 7, 2010
Such a sad game.
Joseph_C - August 7, 2010
Granted he does that a lot..
but does it have anything to do with the ump calling the balls below his knees strikes.. It’s hard to get under those and drive them
jjhova12 - August 7, 2010
Another round of Moylan, or Farnsworth?
ATLandKC - August 7, 2010
DO WORK FREDDIE FREEMAN
2-for-4, 2B, R
Scott Coleman - August 7, 2010
WE NEED SOME RH BATS
HalleyGator - August 7, 2010
Outfield is 0 for 12
Bob Mackie - August 7, 2010
Braves are 2/136. Or at least it feels like that.
Joseph_C - August 7, 2010
6/36
which is not very good
Londonjoe - August 7, 2010
How many innings has it been since we drove in someone in scoring position?
ryantex - August 7, 2010
70
RichmondBraves - August 7, 2010
A
Dammit Jason! I have to go to bed soon, I need a walkoff
FitzFan - August 7, 2010
all this negativity
makes my stress for the braves even worse
Dee-Az - August 7, 2010
WALK HERE AND WE LOSE
HalleyGator - August 7, 2010
THROW STRIKES
Zeus12888 - August 7, 2010
NO LEADOFF RUNNERS WTF
atl192485 - August 7, 2010
Leavign Moylan in = bad news.
BullManUGA - August 7, 2010
Not again Pete…….
Joseph_C - August 7, 2010
fuck pemo...throw strikes man
SouthernPanther - August 7, 2010
PeMo still?
Bob Mackie - August 7, 2010
your so lucky
JKowalek - August 7, 2010
another leadoff walk really????
jjhova12 - August 7, 2010
Neat
bpk228480 - August 7, 2010
FUCK
HalleyGator - August 7, 2010
WHAT THE FUCK PETER
atl192485 - August 7, 2010
SOMEBODY REALLY LIKES SCALLOPS
Well you can’t have any, Moylan.
cygnusxs - August 7, 2010
Do I discern a pattern?
victor frankenstein - August 7, 2010
We NEED Jesse Chavez.
Scott Coleman - August 7, 2010
Shut up.
Joseph_C - August 7, 2010
JESSE CHAVEZ!
Scott Coleman - August 7, 2010
WHY?
Joseph_C - August 7, 2010
HE'S A WINNAR!
Kobe:The Legend - August 7, 2010
FUCKIN A....STOP WALKING PEOPLE PEMO
SouthernPanther - August 7, 2010
I get the feeling Bobby really doesn’t trust Dunn and Farnsworth yet. I know Moylan should be good for two innings, but it still seems odd, especially with a lefty leading off.
sleezer1788 - August 7, 2010
Bobby
must be sleepy and want to go home leaving Peter in
Erihury - August 7, 2010
another leadoff walk
We are literally trying to lose this damn game
Jtpdolphins2009 - August 7, 2010
Horrible. HORRIBLE!!!!!
ryantex - August 7, 2010
why do we keep letting the leadoff man in...this is pathetic
SouthernPanther - August 7, 2010
WHYYYYYYYY???
TonyAlmeyda - August 7, 2010
WE NEED TO..
INTENTIONALLY WALK EVERY LEADOFF HITTER
HalleyGator - August 7, 2010
pemo
18 pitches…7 strikes
SouthernPanther - August 7, 2010
Another walk?????? They only got 3 ****in hits!
iamthesgt - August 7, 2010
THROW STRIKES NOT BALLS.
Scott Coleman - August 7, 2010
19 pitches, 7 strikes
Londonjoe - August 7, 2010
Throw a motherfucking strike man
Zeus12888 - August 7, 2010
christian martinez up
great
atl192485 - August 7, 2010
o yeah get martinez up
bpk228480 - August 7, 2010
you guys dont get the moylan pattern
walk-gidp walk-groundout
RichmondBraves - August 7, 2010
Ump wants out also, drops strike zone.
victor frankenstein - August 7, 2010
Those are strikes, though…
sleezer1788 - August 7, 2010
Wait, isn't this why we got Farnsworth?
FitzFan - August 7, 2010
No kidding…
Scott Coleman - August 7, 2010
I guess he’s already on Bobby’s shit list after 1 outing
FitzFan - August 7, 2010
not even fucking close right now
bpk228480 - August 7, 2010
As I tell my girlfriend all the time: Nothing good ever happens after a leadoff walk.
Duff_Man - August 7, 2010
but…but…last inning?!
Joseph_C - August 7, 2010
what about back to back walks??
jjhova12 - August 7, 2010
DAMMIT PEMO
HalleyGator - August 7, 2010
NO!
Dee-Az - August 7, 2010
goddamnit pemo...
how fucking hard is it to throw strikes man…atleast get them around the fucking plate
SouthernPanther - August 7, 2010
GAME OVER
FUCK YOU PETER MOYLAN
atl192485 - August 7, 2010
Some nights, Peter doesn’t have it – can’t leave him out there like this.
NCChopper - August 7, 2010
I agree this is a coaching problem.
SuperHeyward - August 7, 2010
should have let Venters pitch the 9th
Jtpdolphins2009 - August 7, 2010
That would have prevented A-Gon and Zombie Jones from being retarded?
cygnusxs - August 7, 2010
maybe
Jtpdolphins2009 - August 7, 2010
frack
ByrneSupremacy - August 7, 2010
great another walk
just leave him in Bobby
Erihury - August 7, 2010
MOYLAN SUX TONITE
HalleyGator - August 7, 2010
Back to back walks?
Are we giving up or what? Fucking take him out Bobby.
Scott Coleman - August 7, 2010
arrrrrrrgh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
iamthesgt - August 7, 2010
where the fuck is Farnsworth?
Kobe:The Legend - August 7, 2010
I mean, if we’re not even going to use him, why did we trade Collins?
Scott Coleman - August 7, 2010
Exactly! Pemo does not have his control tonight. Bobby can be so frustrating at times.
FitzFan - August 7, 2010
Yeah, good start to this inning so far.
cygnusxs - August 7, 2010

i can't fucking believe our bullpen is whats falling apart tonight...
SouthernPanther - August 7, 2010
this game is over
we blew this game
the way we are playing, we dont deserve to be in 1st place
Jtpdolphins2009 - August 7, 2010

Dee-Az - August 7, 2010
yeah, furcal's on the dodgers
iamthesgt - August 7, 2010
I was at that game too!
Scott Coleman - August 7, 2010
Bobby is asleep
bpk228480 - August 7, 2010
Fuck bobby
and his shit management of the BP
Bob Mackie - August 7, 2010
Could we seriously please quit trying to hand teams games. It seems like almost every game we lose these days happens because we just royally screw up in key situations.
sleezer1788 - August 7, 2010
like hitting with runners in scoring position...
or blowing saves b/c of awful defense
SouthernPanther - August 7, 2010
It just seems like it’s something different every time. We just need to get out of this funk and get back to playing up to our potential.
sleezer1788 - August 7, 2010
if i'm juan uribe
i keep the bat on my shoulder until i walk or strike out looking.
RichmondBraves - August 7, 2010
or K on a bunt foul
iamthesgt - August 7, 2010
haha this
SouthernPanther - August 7, 2010
Please dont let that fat fuck Juan Uribe beat us
Zeus12888 - August 7, 2010
Christhian Martinez?
Cla Meredith?
Everth Cabrera?
FRIENDS DO NOT LET DRUNK FRIENDS NAME THEIR CHILDREN
victor frankenstein - August 7, 2010
Christhian is normal for the hispanic names... although not written like that.
Kobe:The Legend - August 7, 2010
what happened to wags tonight?
i wasnt around to see it

jjhova12 - August 7, 2010
WAGS PEGGED LEADOFF HITTER
HalleyGator - August 7, 2010

come on we need a VIDRO
Erihury - August 7, 2010
corners, 1 out
we need another VIDRO!!
Jtpdolphins2009 - August 7, 2010
20 VIDROS!
Scott Coleman - August 7, 2010
GDP! Please!
iamthesgt - August 7, 2010
Hard to do when you can’t reach the ball.
NCChopper - August 7, 2010
moylan is not near the plate
bpk228480 - August 7, 2010
The last time Kung Fat Bastard was up the defense fucked us.
BullManUGA - August 7, 2010
STRIKES DAMMIT
HalleyGator - August 7, 2010
TERRIBLE
HalleyGator - August 7, 2010
Hey we got inning-ending DPs the last 2 innings
iamthesgt - August 7, 2010
Good luck never lasts long.
Joseph_C - August 7, 2010
why is Moylan still in?
Jtpdolphins2009 - August 7, 2010
well, thats half of a gidp
We just need a full one now.
RichmondBraves - August 7, 2010
Classic example of the "given" force at second.
When he took the throw he was already past second.
victor frankenstein - August 7, 2010
Moyland can't throw strikes....so we walk the bases loaded
bpk228480 - August 7, 2010
exactly
ryantex - August 7, 2010
Ugh…not sure if i like this or not.
Scott Coleman - August 7, 2010
dont wanna pitch to sandoval behind in the count
ATLBRVS_19 - August 7, 2010
You mean the guy that’s hitting .266/.324/.385 and leading the league in GIDP?
Ron A. - August 7, 2010
Walk ’em full to get to Burrell?
NCChopper - August 7, 2010
who's 2-2 with two walks
Londonjoe - August 7, 2010
no faith in the offense
Dee-Az - August 7, 2010
what the crap?
iamthesgt - August 7, 2010
why isn;t bobby coming out
JKowalek - August 7, 2010
HOPE MCLOUTH IS UP
FOR SAN FRAN
HalleyGator - August 7, 2010
You’ve got to be kidding me.
Ron A. - August 7, 2010
so we walk Sandoval to get Burrell who has 2 hits tonight?
Jtpdolphins2009 - August 7, 2010
epic thinking fail there
Jtpdolphins2009 - August 7, 2010
HE IS SLOW AS SHIT
HalleyGator - August 7, 2010
McDowell: Throw strikes Pete.
Moylan: What are those?
jjhova12 - August 7, 2010
why did we just walk the bases loaded there?
SouthernPanther - August 7, 2010
matchup i guess...
jjhova12 - August 7, 2010
Which pitcher will get to blow it?
Joseph_C - August 7, 2010
C'mon guys, we couldn't win one for Tommy H
but can you still win one for Tommy G???
BravesDawg16 - August 7, 2010
Need a ground ball not in a hole and not hit too slowly…
sleezer1788 - August 7, 2010
ball 1
ryantex - August 7, 2010
Oh my god. Strikes please.
Scott Coleman - August 7, 2010
ugh
i have a bad feeling about this but wishing for the best
Erihury - August 7, 2010
Senior moment
.Burrell zoned out there for a second.
victor frankenstein - August 7, 2010
pemo - 30 pitches, 19 balls
SouthernPanther - August 7, 2010
that would require Moylan to throw a damn strike
Jtpdolphins2009 - August 7, 2010
STRIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JKowalek - August 7, 2010
Best time to pull Moylan: Bbfore the inning began.
cygnusxs - August 7, 2010
before*
cygnusxs - August 7, 2010
WTF STRIKE
Dee-Az - August 7, 2010
worst moylan appearance of the year?
Bob Mackie - August 7, 2010
to be fair
his era is 0.00 in this game, technically.
RichmondBraves - August 7, 2010
i hate the decision
if it works i’ll like it but i think it was ill advised.
RichmondBraves - August 7, 2010
ball 2
ryantex - August 7, 2010
I've never seen a manager stick with a guy this long
when he has nothing
bpk228480 - August 7, 2010
Shows how much he hates the alternatives
FitzFan - August 7, 2010
nice frame by heap though
JKowalek - August 7, 2010
Not Burrell. Hate that douche
FitzFan - August 7, 2010
i wish he played for us
RichmondBraves - August 7, 2010
c´mon Moylan
joshant - August 7, 2010
CRAP

SouthernPanther - August 7, 2010
lolbraves
Kobe:The Legend - August 7, 2010
Good game. Goodnight.
AnEternalEnigma - August 7, 2010
FUCK ME
HalleyGator - August 7, 2010
Wow…awesome. If this score sticks we will lose on an unearned run, and RBI groundout, and a freaking sac fly. Sweet.
sleezer1788 - August 7, 2010
Plus we couldn't get one damn single with RISP. This game is painful to watch. What a waste if we loose.
FitzFan - August 7, 2010
This is ridiculous. Thanks Bobby! You idiot.
BullManUGA - August 7, 2010
Bobby isn’t an idiot—never has been, never will be.
Joseph_C - August 7, 2010
Might as well be a walk off
Bob Mackie - August 7, 2010
O hey bobby nice to fucking see you
bpk228480 - August 7, 2010
game over??
joshant - August 7, 2010
I see no postgame wrap.
victor frankenstein - August 7, 2010
now bobby comes out
Jtpdolphins2009 - August 7, 2010
WTF did he not pull him?
FitzFan - August 7, 2010
So we walked the guy (Sandoval) that has grounded into the 2nd most DPs in the league...
Why?
jjhova12 - August 7, 2010
NOW it’s time to pull him?!
ryantex - August 7, 2010
this is how you win the division
gg braves
JasonHeywardisGod - August 7, 2010
thanks bobby thanks
Kobe:The Legend - August 7, 2010
how could we lose this one?
forgotten_glory - August 7, 2010
We lost?
sleezer1788 - August 7, 2010
Unless we score in the bottom of the 11th—and not let the Giants score (again).
Joseph_C - August 7, 2010
yes...
forgotten_glory - August 7, 2010
this team sucks right now
PERIOD!!
Jtpdolphins2009 - August 7, 2010
I said this last week
this team is not better than the Phillies right now, I could care less what the standings say
Jtpdolphins2009 - August 7, 2010
i care more about the standings
then a random comment by Jtpdolphins2009. You don’t get into the playoffs based on random comments by Jtpdolphins2009.
RichmondBraves - August 7, 2010
you dont get into the playoffs
with 2 errors while leading by 1 run in the 9th inning either
Jtpdolphins2009 - August 7, 2010
you dont get into the playoffs
based on one game either. I guess Cincinatti won’t get into the playoffs because “you dont get into the playoffs by giving up a 6-run lead in the 9th”
RichmondBraves - August 7, 2010
newsflash
we had a 7 game lead in the division not 10 days ago, now its about to be a 1 game lead
guess you are right, the standings do matter; when you lose 6 games in a division in 10 days; YOU ARE NOT THE BEST TEAM IN THE DIVISION
Jtpdolphins2009 - August 7, 2010
you are
if you’re still leading the division.
remember when we lost 9 in a row and were quite a few games back? Look at us now.
RichmondBraves - August 7, 2010
well we arent playing like the best team in the division
Jtpdolphins2009 - August 7, 2010
there we go
i can agree with that
RichmondBraves - August 7, 2010
What the hell? He waits until AFTER Moylan screws us to take him out? Holy god.
BullManUGA - August 7, 2010
GOOD OLF BOBBY
HalleyGator - August 7, 2010
can we all recognize that our pitching is NOT the problem here.. wher'es the O?

hi mike. why are you so late?
ryantex - August 7, 2010
Bleep you australian jerk off!
Wu Tang Financial - August 7, 2010
LOYAL BOBBY BLOWS ANOTHER ONE
HalleyGator - August 7, 2010
He had 3 more damn pitchers outthere.
FitzFan - August 7, 2010
MattyD
doesn’t have a cannon arm out there, not that he could have got him anyway, just sayin’
HEYJUDE - August 7, 2010
Breaking News
Bobby Cox asleep in dugout. Eventually grumbling home fans wake him up and he realizes that he’s a ML baseball manager.
RichmondBraves - August 7, 2010
Haha
HEYJUDE - August 7, 2010
Why didnt heyward sprint across the field to catch that and then double up Huff?
CJ10JHEY22 - August 7, 2010
Too many walks with moylan,
so lets put in dunn
Bob Mackie - August 7, 2010
SADLY...
A WIN TONIGHT WOULD ONLY MASK OUR HUGE PROBLEMS
HalleyGator - August 7, 2010
Which are?
cygnusxs - August 7, 2010
inability of late
to hit with RISP.
RichmondBraves - August 7, 2010
we are like 2/100 w/ RISP
we really aren’t playing very good defense…pitching is our only bright spot right now
SouthernPanther - August 7, 2010
NO OFFENSE
2 SOLO SHOTS, NO RUNS PRODUCED
HalleyGator - August 7, 2010
Hitting w/RISP is very flukey.
Sometimes there is no underlying reason, just unbelievably bad luck.
cygnusxs - August 7, 2010
yup
this is not a 1st place team right now
Jtpdolphins2009 - August 7, 2010
not really...
we’re one hot hitter away from lots of O knockin in those stranded runners and we just keep giving up runs real late… we have the pitching its just time to use it at the right time
Dee-Az - August 7, 2010
lately, we had blown a lot of game
1 against Padres
2 against Marlins
1 against Reds
1 against Mets
joshant - August 7, 2010
and know we are blowing 1 against Giants
joshant - August 7, 2010
Looks worse than it actually is.
cygnusxs - August 7, 2010
it looked pretty bad from my seats in dolphin stadium. it sucked
ryantex - August 7, 2010
that looks bad to me
RichmondBraves - August 7, 2010
and we will blow many more in the near future, i’m afraid
ryantex - August 7, 2010
brad lidge syndrome?
Dee-Az - August 7, 2010
fuck this is so frustrating...
that is like the 4th or 5th blown save since the allstar break…we are giving the fucking division away at this point
SouthernPanther - August 7, 2010
pathetic
Kobe:The Legend - August 7, 2010
I think our team needs to look at how the Giants are scoring their runs and try to follow suit. Only hitting solo home runs isn’t going to win us many games.
sleezer1788 - August 7, 2010
Yeh, they really need to force more errors and HBPs.
Ron A. - August 7, 2010
well putting the ball in play with RISP helps...
instead of striking out constantly
SouthernPanther - August 7, 2010
Or hit balls to the right side of the infield and into the outfield with men on third….
sleezer1788 - August 7, 2010
And here I’m sure they were thinking that striking out was a pretty safe bet. Somebody really needs to tell them they’re misinformed.
Ron A. - August 7, 2010
I’m not entirely sure what you are trying to point out to me here.
sleezer1788 - August 7, 2010
Shocking.
Ron A. - August 7, 2010
oh well, it was fun while it lasted
gotta get used to this. i won’t be surprised if we’re out of first by next week, the way we’re playing.
rubbles88 - August 7, 2010
could be tomorrow...assuming we don't score any runs int he bottom of the 11th we will have a 1 game lead over the phils
SouthernPanther - August 7, 2010
yep, the good teams find ways to win, like the phils have done lately.
us, we find ways to lose.
rubbles88 - August 7, 2010
we're a good team...
just hitting a rough patch…we need to get prado back and we NEED to fix our hole at 1B…sorry glausy but you’ve been awful for 2 months now…
SouthernPanther - August 7, 2010
“Good teams don’t win close games—they avoid them.”
Ron A. - August 7, 2010
That's right - you're leading your division!
What’s that like?
victor frankenstein - August 7, 2010
Hey look...
Strikes!
jjhova12 - August 7, 2010
i like who's up right now
Dee-Az - August 7, 2010
:(
Epitome of the braves since the all star break. Terrible managing, losing the close ones, and no fire. Heyward had a good series off the DL now his avg is back below .260. Philly is ONE game back not fucking THIRTY. If the panic button hasn’t been pressed it has to be pressed now. NO way we make the playoffs playing near this type of baseball; disgusting and disheartening
maizebaseball10 - August 7, 2010 via mobile
and while I’m in rage mode…QUIT SUCKING BILLY! I know tonight wasn’t all your fault but hasn’t been good at all since the ASB. He’ll he got lucky last night that HR barely missed

if we could only score some RUNZ or get HITZ

Dunn got it done.

Whats our record in extras?
Bob Mackie - August 7, 2010
5-5
TonyAlmeyda - August 7, 2010
you cant win when you cant hit and more w/RISP
you cant win hitting only HR. i think the last hit we get w/RISP was Ankiel single with bases loaded against Mets
joshant - August 7, 2010
I suppose I’ll put on my rally cap…. sigh
Joseph_C - August 7, 2010

HalleyGator - August 7, 2010
An error fueled blown save and an extra innings loss.
Frustrating, but it doesn’t really mean anything about the team. It’s just one of those nights.
cygnusxs - August 7, 2010
we have been having those nights a lot lately
when you are up 7 games in the division and then are only up 1 game just 10 days later
There is something very wrong
Jtpdolphins2009 - August 7, 2010
Exactly. We are pooping ourselves
FitzFan - August 7, 2010
Shit happens.
Sometimes in an unbelievably long succession of never-ending shit, but it doesn’t necessarily having any true causation.

HEYJUDE - August 7, 2010

BullManUGA - August 7, 2010
I just don't get it
The Phillies lose all those big time guys to the DL, and they can’t lose. That is just so disheartening…
BravesDawg16 - August 7, 2010
just shows how good they are.
rubbles88 - August 7, 2010
Well, to be fair, they did lose last night, but the asshat umping 3rd base probably had money on it.
sleezer1788 - August 7, 2010
Still...
It would be beyond unbearable to lose this division to the Phils. I hate them more than anything in the world. I still have faith in the Braves, but the Phillies are winning and hitting WITHOUT Utley, Howard, Victorino, etc. and that is just very disturbing
BravesDawg16 - August 7, 2010
They won’t keep that up. Their bench is not good. They won’t get to play the Mets every game. And they also won’t get wins handed to them every game. We just have to be patient and realize that when we play them, we will be able to widen our lead in the division.
sleezer1788 - August 7, 2010
No I understand.
I still have confidence in this team, but the hate I have for the Phillies is just clouding my thinking right now
BravesDawg16 - August 7, 2010
People have been saying that for weeks now, who knows maybe they will
FitzFan - August 7, 2010
I really hate losing games like this. I like to at least feel like the other team just outplayed us, but the fact his we handed them this game on a silver platter. Seems like we have been doing that a lot lately.
sleezer1788 - August 7, 2010
It honestly felt like we wanted to lose
The offense has transcended bad and entered a realm of extreme ass sucking. that game was fubar. Fuck.
Bob Mackie - August 7, 2010
wow
we should’ve won that one…phils 1 gb…
forgotten_glory - August 7, 2010
That's a backbreaking loss.
This season is fucking over. Congratulations to the Phillies on their 4th consecutive NL East title.
AnEternalEnigma - August 7, 2010
The Phillies won the division? That nap must have been a couple months longer than I planned on it being.
sleezer1788 - August 7, 2010
so much for a big send off to bobby. send him to the showers.
rubbles88 - August 7, 2010
This game is annoying, but lets' not get crazy. They are not even in 1st yet.
But we need to do something about 1st base & the OF. And Bobby needs to use more than 4 RP.
FitzFan - August 7, 2010
Stop being such a debbie downer dude.
Still love you though. <3
cygnusxs - August 7, 2010
i didnt feel like this before
but call up Freeman. DL Troy
Erihury - August 7, 2010
Another EPIC FAIL
joshant - August 7, 2010
I'm starting to get used to it.
This way, I won’t get disappointed come playoff time.
rubbles88 - August 7, 2010
I am amazed the Braves are still in 1st with way they are playing!
Wu Tang Financial - August 7, 2010
The recap is going to be mighty depressing
hopefully mvhsbaseball or whoever can cheer us up.
RichmondBraves - August 7, 2010
Braves got 6 hits, 3 from Chipper
WTF
joshant - August 7, 2010
and 1 big error to get the go-ahead run for the Giants
rubbles88 - August 7, 2010
but before that, Wagner HBP
joshant - August 7, 2010
Yep, then AGON error
rubbles88 - August 7, 2010
that was ominous
rubbles88 - August 7, 2010
Well it’s really no secret that we struggle against lefties. And Diaz had a big 0-fer which didn’t help, especially since he is supposed to rake lefties. And Glaus can’t get a hit to save his life right now. So those two struggling makes a team that already has trouble with lefties look even worse. The problem is, our solution to the Glaus problem probably won’t be any better against lefties.
sleezer1788 - August 7, 2010
Prado needs to get back like last week!
Wu Tang Financial - August 7, 2010
There are glaring holes in this lineup right now that will ultimately keep us from deep postseason play
Our pitching can only cover our asses for so long
ATLBRVS_19 - August 7, 2010
Hardly. Glaus is the only glaring hole right now. And if he doesn’t get it turned around, we have a guy in the minors who can probably help. If he does get it turned around, it’s going to make this offense explode, just like it did in May and June.
sleezer1788 - August 7, 2010
Yup.
The same holes that have been there ALL YEAR.
cygnusxs - August 7, 2010
while were at it
TRADE HANSON NOT A WINNAR
Erihury - August 7, 2010
This game,
based on context, pissed me of more than any other this year. Welcome back April.
Bob Mackie - August 7, 2010
wow, worse loss of the season...probably and hopefully (that's it)
I’m really, really depressed by this loss
Can’t believe we gave them two runs without the benefit of a hit. This was just terrible. I need to refrain from banging my head on my laptop or desk.
LEastCoastBears - August 7, 2010
if things don't change quick
division is all but loss
JasonHeywardisGod - August 7, 2010
You have to believe.
cygnusxs - August 7, 2010
i believe
but its hard with how glaus is hitting, and we didnt make an jaw dropping move at the deadline
JasonHeywardisGod - August 7, 2010
Speak for yourself. I saw the name "Ankiel" and my jaw DROPPED.
(Guess the punchline.)
cygnusxs - August 7, 2010
lolol
JasonHeywardisGod - August 7, 2010
After a game like that...
Give as many people the day off as possible, let Melky play right for a game or two, Ross should get a start tomorrow, And give Chipper/Infante the day off.
ATLandKC - August 7, 2010
So we can make sure we lose tomorrow too?
cygnusxs - August 7, 2010
At least Hudson is on the mound tomorrow.
ATLandKC - August 7, 2010
and we had Hanson tonight, allowed just 3 hits and 1 run
though that run was his fault because he cant hold the runner
joshant - August 7, 2010
Note to Bobby: DO NOT PITCH WAGNER TOMORROW.
Also, as much as losing this game sucks major balls, the Braves are still in first. Who knows? The Phillies could start losing tomorrow and the Braves could start hitting again and getting their big lead back.
There are 53 more games left. The season is not over.
TonyAlmeyda - August 7, 2010
The problem is,
while the braves are trending downward, the Phillies are trending upward.
Bob Mackie - August 7, 2010
and without all their star players
SuperHeyward - August 7, 2010
How does anyone know if the Phillies will win tomorrow? Saturday will be Santana vs. Hamels while we have Tim Hudson pitching. There’s a good chance the Braves can win tomorrow and the Phillies will lose.
I expect the Braves to break their funk tomorrow and when all is said and done, the Braves will be the ones winning the East.
TonyAlmeyda - August 7, 2010
Braves hitting RISP since ASG
.181 (34-188), the last RBI hit was Ankiel against the Mets. Diaz and Glaus had hit w/RISP in that game but the runner didnt score.
The Braves had surrendered the lead against
Padre (1)
Marlins (2 times)
Reds (1)
Mets(1)
Giants(1)
That means if we won all those games, it would be 3 more games lead.
Playing like this you cant win and probably you will lose the lead of the Division
joshant - August 7, 2010
You can cross off the Marlins losses.
They don’t count due to the Fish being complete evil.
cygnusxs - August 7, 2010
I'm more shocked they they got 34 hits.
One the plus side, this means a wicked hot streak w/ RISP is just around the corner.
FitzFan - August 7, 2010
