Spectacular plays are cool and all but I prefer a guy who can regularly make routine ones. I think he’s probably pressing but whatever is going on, he and Troy Rodin over there at first are not helping things much here lately.
and this thread is contaminating the last thread! the astros are retroactively being awarded runs from previous innings. The only solution is to nuke both threads and start again from scratch.
Coming into this game, I never would have thought Minor would have nearly nothing to do with the outcome of the game. He was great; the rest of the team was not.
Yea Minor looked good. He is a AAA player just trying to prove he belongs. Someone said last week – good the be playing the Astros- a AAA team right now. Those AAA players will always play like the have something to prove. Bagwell has also made a difference in thier hitting.
THE TEAM THAT WINS THE DIVISION IS THE ONE THAT WANTS IT MORE.
I’m sure that fizzbot will say: "Phillies will catch us, we won’t make the playoffs at least two times in the recap (if there is one) and with at least two grammar errors.
I left for two hours and I checked the score what the hell?!?! Glad I didn’t have to witness the Astros and their “putrid” offense… man this sure blows.
bobby: we’re down 6, let’s bring in that japanese dude…. kawasaki?
eddie perez: you mean kawakami? dude, he’s at gwinnett
bobby: WTF? since when? WHY IS HE NEVER THERE WHEN I NEED HIM??
You know, I want to feel bad about all these bloops
And while they’re frustrating to happen at the same time, we’ve certainly been on the good side of some bloop hits and untimely errors by the other team. I mean that whole 7 run 9th inning against the Reds doesn’t happen if the 3B gets the ball out of his glove.
Every team benefits from bloop hits over the year. Face it – we lost the game – the other team scored 10 runs – doesnt matter how they got em – they got the hits to win.
My friends and I were playing a drinking game, where we took a drink anytime absolutely riddiculous happened in the braves game.
Now two of them are passed out in critical condition at the local hospital, one of em is dead, I’m fine, This one girl threw up 4 or 5 times, and i don’t know where my other friend is… so yep thanks guys
but we didnt really give up anything to make me upset either…and ankiel’s offense hasnt been so good…but his range is better than melkys…so thats something i guess
can’t even beat the Astros! Ankiel sucks, Gonzo sucks, Farnsworth sucks! Troy Glaus blows I WANT FREEMAN!!!! Hinske is a joke, we better sign Crawford because we are going nowhere this year and our only chance is to be good next year
!
Ok what happened, just got home and was watching my espn mvp game cast and all a sudden they scored six runs. any 1 want to tell me how the 6 run inning happened? Thank you
Oh lord McCann ha ha. Was that the only error in the inning.
Is it just me or has Moylan just really sucked when brought in to get a double play. Last couple seasons he was awesome and was an almost guaranteed DP

I didn’t expect us to basically rape any chance we had at winning though.

Didn’t wanna say that they “suck”. :)

So how many days before Bobby with trust Farnsworth again?
sleezer1788 - August 9, 2010 via mobile
I hope Never!
HEYJUDE - August 9, 2010
I feel the same way. That is two games already that he has screwed us. Chavez could have done that.

Why is everyone pinning this on Farnsworth
Our defense is just horrible, it is not just him
UltimaParadox - August 9, 2010
he did
miss the zone with half his pitches
drumzalicious - August 9, 2010
yeah
But his defense sure was pathetic
Even plays that werent called errors were terrible
Gonzalez should have covered 2nd
Hinske missed the cut off man

Have they hit a hard ball this inning, all bloops and ground ball singles.
MatM - August 9, 2010
No. They have seriously hit like 3 balls that were legit. Everything else has been a bloop or a seeing eye ground ball.

he’s only pitched in half our games.
drumzalicious - August 9, 2010
Fuckin pathetic!
a single turned into a fuckin HR!!!!! This is aweful its the worst team in the NL and they are winning 10-4
we come off a fantastic series against the Giants(one of the best) to completly shit the bed against the Stros(one of the worst)
This is the worst game of the season and we need to rebound or we are in huge trouble
Philly is too close to be losing games like this!
THUNDERDOME!!!! please can we have one?

glad you got that out
i totally read all of it

Im liking Ross at C and McCann at C if so.

um
what?
Go home
drumzalicious - August 9, 2010
it's the truth
Kobe:The Legend - August 9, 2010
since he has been here
he has turned some magnificent double plays.
drumzalicious - August 9, 2010
yeah and he has made 5 errors and several mental ones.
Kobe:The Legend - August 9, 2010
i would say he’s about even with it then.
drumzalicious - August 9, 2010
even? two double plays? with 5 errors?
Kobe:The Legend - August 9, 2010
two double plays last night. In the time he’s been here he has turned more than that
drumzalicious - August 9, 2010
the mental errors and the 5 errors has cost us more, I would think.
Kobe:The Legend - August 9, 2010
And has 9 XBH in 22 games.
-C
cthabeerman - August 9, 2010
yeah, offense has been good, we're talking about defense.
Kobe:The Legend - August 9, 2010
23 including today

cthabeerman - August 9, 2010
I'm guessing you missed the two ridiculous DP's he started this weekend against the Giants
AuditDawg - August 9, 2010
1 came after an error
so it kinda leveled out
KINGSLYTUT - August 9, 2010
he does have 5 errors and several mental ones.
Kobe:The Legend - August 9, 2010
Which makes him Andres Thomas
Spectacular plays are cool and all but I prefer a guy who can regularly make routine ones. I think he’s probably pressing but whatever is going on, he and Troy Rodin over there at first are not helping things much here lately.

At this point you might as well say Farnsworth = fail. The Houston part isn’t really necessary.

after this game i believe everyone is erasing this inning from their minds
drumzalicious - August 9, 2010
I can't believe the bullpen and defense collapsed like that
I stepped away for 15 minutes to help my roommate move some furniture and it’s like I woke up in a nightmare
LEastCoastBears - August 9, 2010
did the furniture get moved alright?
SuperNewb - August 9, 2010
yeah, but the morale of the story is to not help people
LEastCoastBears - August 9, 2010
Farnsworth lives by that one.
Sam Jethroe - August 9, 2010
the pinch runner who came for the pinch hitter now is hitting
joshant - August 9, 2010
and its finally over

please
samxrm - August 9, 2010
Its no good!
and this thread is contaminating the last thread! the astros are retroactively being awarded runs from previous innings. The only solution is to nuke both threads and start again from scratch.
the cow - August 9, 2010
now all we need is 8 runs in the 8th
joshant - August 9, 2010
With our potent offense, I don’t see that being a problem.
BravesFan2010 - August 9, 2010
then 9 in the 9th!
if the blue jays can score 17 runs on 8 HRs, surely we can!
atl192485 - August 9, 2010
and we will win 21 to 10 looks like a Falcons game

That was the worst inning in the history of the world.

Scott Coleman - August 9, 2010
3rd game, you mean?
yea. i agree
atl192485 - August 9, 2010
Yeah…
Scott Coleman - August 9, 2010
12-11 Loss to PHI last year (like 2nd or 3rd game) I’d say was worse
GoBravesNY - August 9, 2010
Yeah
I left work and we were up 10-3. I got home and it was 11-10 in the same inning.

why do you keep asking that?
GoBravesNY - August 9, 2010
Maybe Minor doing so well, along with Heyward, will give them more confidence in the rest of their young guys and prompt them to bring up Freeman.
sleezer1788 - August 9, 2010 via mobile
cause he is teh bestes
KINGSLYTUT - August 9, 2010
Coming into this game, I never would have thought Minor would have nearly nothing to do with the outcome of the game. He was great; the rest of the team was not.
sleezer1788 - August 9, 2010 via mobile
our bullpen sure has been shaky lately...sorta concerning on account that picking up farnsworth was supposed to make it even stronger
SouthernPanther - August 9, 2010
Our defense hasn’t exactly been helping them out at all either.
sleezer1788 - August 9, 2010 via mobile
THE GAME ISNT OVER
Just thought i would let the team know that. They seem to just be throwing it away
drumzalicious - August 9, 2010
when was the last game we allowed 10 runs?
joshant - August 9, 2010
i feel like we allowed double digit runs to arizona a couple months ago...
and ofcourse that 17 run pounding at the hands of the padres at the beginning of the year
SouthernPanther - August 9, 2010
this is just a birthday prank for jhey, right?
or a debut prank for minor?
atl192485 - August 9, 2010
OK Everyone... PUSH THIS.

or play me heads up on full-tilt
bobbravesfan - August 9, 2010
i want to play you with the astros
and see if i can replicate this game. All the bloop hits and such
drumzalicious - August 9, 2010
i thought Minor looked Stellar for a debut. EVERYONE else sucked horrendously
samxrm - August 9, 2010
AAA players
Yea Minor looked good. He is a AAA player just trying to prove he belongs. Someone said last week – good the be playing the Astros- a AAA team right now. Those AAA players will always play like the have something to prove. Bagwell has also made a difference in thier hitting.
THE TEAM THAT WINS THE DIVISION IS THE ONE THAT WANTS IT MORE.

SuperNewb - August 9, 2010
Troy Glaus
Looks uninterested in every game he plays
KJDH2154 - August 9, 2010
right
considering Hinske and McCann just had the same expressions
drumzalicious - August 9, 2010
Ahhhhh, if you knew how to read
You would notice I wrote EVERY…..
KJDH2154 - August 9, 2010
right
like in May and June…..
drumzalicious - August 9, 2010
June?????
When he hit under .200??? Yes, that’s exactly what im talking about
KJDH2154 - August 9, 2010
you mean
.237/.364/.505 ? ? ? ? ?
6 HR
19 RBI
8 2B
oh ok
drumzalicious - August 9, 2010
His production
Far outweighs Hinske and McCann’s…..so you’re right, he’s the man, I was wrong
KJDH2154 - August 9, 2010
never did i say
it far outweighs him. But to pick on him for looking “uninspired” when Hinske and McCann both had the same expressions was a bit unfair.
Glaus has more than been a good player for us and this hate he is getting lately is quite unnecessary
drumzalicious - August 9, 2010
Maybe it’s because he had one super hot month, & another pretty good one.
FitzFan - August 9, 2010
yep
annd Hinske has been pretty much the same. Good in April and May. Nothing special since
McCann started slow in April but has been OPSing over .800 since then.
Its just funny to me that Troy could be slumping for 6 weeks and still be at the top of the teams leaders in production
drumzalicious - August 9, 2010
and if you're willing to put
McCann and Hinke’s production up against Glaus’s….since you want to defend him, then I’ll have that argument ANY day
KJDH2154 - August 9, 2010
considering
that with his slump he’s still leading the team in RBI’s and 2nd in HRs? Making a max of about 3-4 mil?
yea you win
drumzalicious - August 9, 2010
Ssdly that says more about the offense as a whole than Glaus's production
FitzFan - August 9, 2010
I never said he was the best in the league. Just that this bashing on him is un-needed
drumzalicious - August 9, 2010
they should release him in the morning
samxrm - August 9, 2010
yes
Release him!!!!
drumzalicious - August 9, 2010
who, the kraken?
atl192485 - August 9, 2010
we cant do that till after monday
The Return of PRADO!!!!
drumzalicious - August 9, 2010
This game was truly FUBAR
Bob Mackie - August 9, 2010
wait they only had four bloop hits?
felt like at least 10
SuperNewb - August 9, 2010
How many players made multiple bone-head plays today?
Mac: Passed Ball, Throwing Error
Alex Gonzalez: Fielding Error, Not Covering 2nd Base
Hinske: Missing Cutoff man
What else have I missed
UltimaParadox - August 9, 2010
Also
Glaus: typical poor covering of pick off throws
UltimaParadox - August 9, 2010
farns threw one away to glaus
atl192485 - August 9, 2010
they both failed on that one really
but most 1B get that ball TBH
UltimaParadox - August 9, 2010
it seemed like the throw was ok...
glaus just didnt really move his glove at all…
forgotten_glory - August 9, 2010
ball that got away from Glaus
MBL1 - August 9, 2010 via mobile
Heyward kicking the ball in the corner
Bob Mackie - August 9, 2010
ah forgot that one
UltimaParadox - August 9, 2010
Heyward’s mini-slide instead of continuing to run could have perhaps gotten an out but didn’t.
NCChopper - August 9, 2010
I thought he was ready to go but no one covered the bag?
AllSaintsDay - August 9, 2010
I think she is saying
If Heyward does not slide there, he catches the ball, but yeah Gonzalez did not cover 2nd
UltimaParadox - August 9, 2010
that was
a tough play though, to be fair
UltimaParadox - August 9, 2010
Yeah it was, I agree. But he stopped his momentum and might have made it if he had kept running.
And most definitely HE is not the reason the score is 10-4.
NCChopper - August 9, 2010
Well, he sorta is.
Otherwise it would be 10-3. :-(
AllSaintsDay - August 9, 2010
Indeed it would. Excellent point!
NCChopper - August 9, 2010
anybody else still listening to the benny hill theme?

Oh my goodness.

Falcons are rated 4th best team in the NFC!
AuditDawg - August 9, 2010
Matty Ice for MVP!
KINGSLYTUT - August 9, 2010
I'd be okay with that
AuditDawg - August 9, 2010
hopefully Turner gets back to 2008 form
KINGSLYTUT - August 9, 2010
He just needs to quit being fat like he was last year
I think he’ll be fine otherwise.
AuditDawg - August 9, 2010
Personally
i think we as of now the 3rd best team in NFC behind Dallas and Green Bay
KINGSLYTUT - August 9, 2010
and dallas will choke in the playoffs…

that is what

So what was the last game we actually were beaten? Seems like every game we have lost lately we have just given away.
sleezer1788 - August 9, 2010 via mobile
+100000
samxrm - August 9, 2010
that’s actually probably a good thing.
BenDuronio - August 9, 2010
It is as long as they quit doing it.
sleezer1788 - August 9, 2010 via mobile
i agree completely
sadly though, whether the opposition beat us or we beat ourselves, its still another game in the L column
ByrneSupremacy - August 9, 2010
why we always lose against pitcher with 5+ ERA?
joshant - August 9, 2010
because
we lose road games no matter what
UltimaParadox - August 9, 2010
We didn’t lose to him. We got 4 off of him, and if our bullpen and defense wouldn’t have blown it, it would’ve been enough to win.
sleezer1788 - August 9, 2010 via mobile
You know, I want to feel bad about all these bloops
And while they’re frustrating to happen at the same time, we’ve certainly been on the good side of some bloop hits and untimely errors by the other team. I mean that whole 7 run 9th inning against the Reds doesn’t happen if the 3B gets the ball out of his glove.
AuditDawg - August 9, 2010
turd in the punch bowl
Braves Biceps - August 9, 2010
exactly
Every team benefits from bloop hits over the year. Face it – we lost the game – the other team scored 10 runs – doesnt matter how they got em – they got the hits to win.
llabyug - August 9, 2010
My friends and I were playing a drinking game, where we took a drink anytime absolutely riddiculous happened in the braves game.
Now two of them are passed out in critical condition at the local hospital, one of em is dead, I’m fine, This one girl threw up 4 or 5 times, and i don’t know where my other friend is… so yep thanks guys
Braves Biceps - August 9, 2010
Ankiel Ks
what a surprise
Bob Mackie - August 9, 2010
sheesh... Ankiel 1 for his last 17
leedawg - August 9, 2010
really?
i thought he had a good series against the Giants for some reason . . .
drumzalicious - August 9, 2010
aaaannnd
my memory lied to me lol
drumzalicious - August 9, 2010
Rick Ankiel is bad at baseball.
Lennox - August 9, 2010
MVP will save us!
atl192485 - August 9, 2010
we had been robbed on that trade
Chavez > Fanrsworth
joshant - August 9, 2010
Greg White > Ankiel
leedawg - August 9, 2010
15 errors in the past 10 games
that is pretty sad
UltimaParadox - August 9, 2010
how many GONZO?
KINGSLYTUT - August 9, 2010
Not sure
but he has 5 in 23 games, so pretty bad either way
UltimaParadox - August 9, 2010
Amazing we’re still in first place with stats like that. We better FOCUS the rest of this series.
NCChopper - August 9, 2010
i'm thinking this will be a bit of a wake up call
SouthernPanther - August 9, 2010
I cant believe we gave away Chavez for Ankiel and/or Farnsworth...
thats a shame Chavez will be great one day
KINGSLYTUT - August 9, 2010
haha
UltimaParadox - August 9, 2010
actually
im kinda more upset about the LH Reliever we gave up
drumzalicious - August 9, 2010
Loved Collins.
BenDuronio - August 9, 2010
i don’t know as if I’d go that far
samxrm - August 9, 2010
oh lord
KINGSLYTUT - August 9, 2010
NET ZERO
I agree. The trade with the Royals was a net zero trade. NO IMPROVEMENT.
llabyug - August 9, 2010
agreed
but we didnt really give up anything to make me upset either…and ankiel’s offense hasnt been so good…but his range is better than melkys…so thats something i guess
forgotten_glory - August 9, 2010
Ignoring the whole trade
I have always really hated Gonzalez
Bob Mackie - August 9, 2010
He's had a rough 3 years with his baby boy in a coma:(
HEYJUDE - August 9, 2010
that
stinks for him
MBL1 - August 9, 2010 via mobile
Sure does,
surprised he can play at all :(
HEYJUDE - August 9, 2010
At least we have two more chances to win the series
I’m going to stick with the Bobby mantra. As long as we keep winning series, we’ll be okay.

This is the 3rd lose of Braves during August. the 3 losses were braves beating braves
1 against the Mets
1 against the Giants
and now this
joshant - August 9, 2010
Ok what happened, just got home and was watching my espn mvp game cast and all a sudden they scored six runs. any 1 want to tell me how the 6 run inning happened? Thank you
PhuckthePhillies - August 9, 2010
it was a fuckus
forgotten_glory - August 9, 2010
Braves allow a "inside park GS"
joshant - August 9, 2010
Wait what? ANOTHER FREAKIN INSIDE THE PARKER?
Was it Farnsworth or mainly Moylan?
PhuckthePhillies - August 9, 2010
Farnsworth left the bases loaded and Moylan gave up two singles
the second after a series of error, all the runners scored = 4 runs, just like a inside park Grand slam
joshant - August 9, 2010
Sorry to be so annoying but what were the series of errors? ESPN MVP was all jacked up
PhuckthePhillies - August 9, 2010
http://atlanta.braves.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=10795833
really, just one error
joshant - August 9, 2010
Oh lord McCann ha ha. Was that the only error in the inning.
Is it just me or has Moylan just really sucked when brought in to get a double play. Last couple seasons he was awesome and was an almost guaranteed DP
PhuckthePhillies - August 9, 2010
Farnsworth pick off error
joshant - August 9, 2010
Geebuz. Minor do ok?
PhuckthePhillies - August 10, 2010
Chavez > Farnsworth
Not even he would’ve done this.

Oh God, why am I not more drunk than I am?
At least Minor looked great.
