Tim Hudson and the Braves go for the series victory tonight over the Cardinals at 8:05 pm EST. Hudson has been tremendous this year and Kyle Loshe has most certainly not been. The Phillies have already won against the Mets so the Braves need a victory in order to remain tied for first place. The Braves are going with a fairly normal lineup and so are the Cardinals. Let's take it to them.

For Joe Morgan saying the Phllies are sluggerz: 4.

I like the early OT!

Let's go Bravos!
Bobbys on ESPN right now. Sunday Convo.

romone_braves91 - September 12, 2010
Damn you, ESPN.
ipod it. lol
GO Braves GO
Chief Noc-A-Homa - September 12, 2010
Timmy turning in
The kind of performance he’s capable of, at this stage of the season on a national broadcast, could really burnish his Cy case. Obviously, that’s secondary to winning and we’ll all take a DLW from him, but it would be nice to see him eat these guys up in the bargain.
Sam Jethroe - September 12, 2010
Any other year, no question Tim would get Cy Young. This year, he is in an uphill battle. I think Doc will get it. Leading in the “categories” that the voters love.
romone_braves91 - September 12, 2010
And most Sabermetric categories, too.
At least last time I looked.
Sam Jethroe - September 12, 2010
I thought Roy and Wainwright were neck to neck
in almost all of those categories.
Jaymin Patel - September 12, 2010
Last I looked
It was Roy, Adam and Tim, in that order, pretty much down the line.
Sam Jethroe - September 12, 2010
Have a look
http://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/NL/2010-pitching-leaders.shtml
Those last 6 categories are what I meant by Roy doing so well in the advanced metrics. He’s got a number of traditional ones nailed down, too, so I think his case is pretty solid.
I want Tim to get some votes and if Halladay falters a bit, I still think he could pull a ’92 Maddux and sneak in.
Sam Jethroe - September 12, 2010
I want Hinske in left today....
He hits Lohse pretty well(yes, small sample size) and got arguably the biggest hit yesterdy before Gonzo’s 3-run blast.
Undocorkscrew - September 12, 2010
Hinske
Slowly but surely lost his starting spot (against RHP) in LF.
DreamWithinADream - September 12, 2010
BRAVES WINS WINS THREAD
Delaware Boiler - September 12, 2010
If you would have told me a week ago that Nate would be in 6 spot
I would have thought everybody was injured. Bobby had no choice.
romone_braves91 - September 12, 2010
He's responded.
Go with the hot hand.
Sam Jethroe - September 12, 2010
I’m glad Nate is hot right now. Gives me hope for the CF position in the lineup.
romone_braves91 - September 12, 2010
Woo! Finally getting around to watching some Braves baseball this weekend. Opening up the football season kinda ate my time.
AllSaintsDay - September 12, 2010
OT: Football related...
Anybody watching the Green Bay vs. Eagles game. Oh my goodness Packer are about to blow this game.
romone_braves91 - September 12, 2010
Me. I’m upset.
oVecKid - September 12, 2010
buahaha I'm glad
Kobe:The Legend - September 12, 2010
Nope. How many times has the GB line let Rodgers eat turf so far?
AllSaintsDay - September 12, 2010
A lot, earlier. Not so bad now.
romone_braves91 - September 12, 2010
Hakeem Nicks baby!
saved my FF team cause Schaub and Andre Johnson sucked for me
Anyways LeSean McCoy(also on my squad) is nasty
KINGSLYTUT - September 12, 2010
freaking Kolb is killing two of my teams. And those teams are going against Arian Foster.
romone_braves91 - September 12, 2010
Man I'm glad I'm not facing the guy in my league with him
this guy also has Gore, Matthews…burrr
KINGSLYTUT - September 12, 2010
and miles austin yet to play...
KINGSLYTUT - September 12, 2010
Awww, no Frost reference?
AllSaintsDay - September 12, 2010
I put in my frost reference earlier
haha
KINGSLYTUT - September 12, 2010
Mike Vick
has been nasty
KINGSLYTUT - September 12, 2010
Vick had a clear TD if he runs it
KINGSLYTUT - September 12, 2010
I agree, I thought he was going to do it.
romone_braves91 - September 12, 2010
Yup. He did.
oVecKid - September 12, 2010
Timmy
can really make a strong push for CY winning this game in dominating fashion
KINGSLYTUT - September 12, 2010
Let's do this!
Do You Remember, circa 1995.
frozendesert - September 12, 2010
Nate
I still get nervous every time McClouth comes up to bat. Even if he returns to form, the trauma of watching him during the first half of the season remains.
Asher Burk - September 12, 2010
I think that he’s secretly wearing a Pirates-branded undershirt.
frozendesert - September 12, 2010
can’t be worst than AnKKKKKKiel.
romone_braves91 - September 12, 2010
That’s true. Ankiel is only a viable option as a late inning defensive replacement or pinch runner. One think I will say is that Nate better not hesitate to throw the ball in from the outfield when the game is close. I got so sick of seeing him just stand there while a runner stretched a double into a triple.
Asher Burk - September 12, 2010
Not only is this game huge in real life...
But me making to the championship in fantasy also depends on Kyle Lohse NOT getting a W tonight.
s.r.j - September 12, 2010
you lose...
KINGSLYTUT - September 12, 2010
Somebody
in your fantasy league is starting Kyle Lohse?
frozendesert - September 12, 2010
Yeah he is the desparate streamer type. Picked up 3 random starters today.
And it’s a 14 team league
s.r.j - September 12, 2010
welp. I want you to win.
oVecKid - September 12, 2010
haha...
Yeah, I don’t think that this was a smart decision.
frozendesert - September 12, 2010
well...
He has been unsuccessful with Chris Volstad and Nelson Figueroa so far today.
s.r.j - September 12, 2010
No way?
Nelson Figueroa didn’t win against Roy Oswalt? Boy, am I surprised…
frozendesert - September 12, 2010
He actually pitched against
Carlos Monasterios today but… did not get a win nonetheless.
s.r.j - September 12, 2010
i hate ppl like that...
i almost lost last year because of that…so bury this guy…i just made the championship today despite latos’ start…
forgotten_glory - September 12, 2010
yeah its so cheap...
He’s made like 15 roster moves this week. And yeah I have Latos also and luckily he didn’t ruin my week today.
s.r.j - September 12, 2010
I'm almost late to the partay...
Ready for a Braves VICTORY tonight!
NCChopper - September 12, 2010
me too
GoBravesNY - September 12, 2010
I’ve already gotten 1 victory today – sure would like another.
Especially since the Giants, Rockies or Phils won’t lose.
NCChopper - September 12, 2010
Especially the Rockies…..won 10 straight now. We hateses them….they tries to steals our precious….
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 12, 2010

what's wrong with that?
it was a slow day in sports
atl192485 - September 12, 2010
I know I didn’t watch much NFL today, maybe 2 minutes of Steelers, but still…
AllSaintsDay - September 12, 2010
1st Sunday of NFL?
7 team (including STL) playoff hunt in the NL?
I hope that it was sarcasm on your part, atl19248
frozendesert - September 12, 2010
i guess i should’ve used the sarcasm font :(
atl192485 - September 12, 2010
Good.
I was worried there for a second.
frozendesert - September 12, 2010
Ayup. Go Dream!
AllSaintsDay - September 12, 2010
they got beat today though
by Sue Bird. That white girl can ball
Jaymin Patel - September 12, 2010
Sue Bird
Is awesome in every possible way.

I’ve ben impressed by Bradford today
GoBravesNY - September 12, 2010
Peyton and Foster Dominated for my team today.
oVecKid - September 12, 2010

NCChopper - September 12, 2010
Hahah nice.
AllSaintsDay - September 12, 2010
Oh, and who's beating the Cowboys tonight?
AllSaintsDay - September 12, 2010
tonight?
No one.
RichmondBraves - September 12, 2010
Skins.
oVecKid - September 12, 2010
I am a fan of anybody who beats the Cowboys!
NCChopper - September 12, 2010
I agree.
AllSaintsDay - September 12, 2010
The "Last Channel Recall" button

Sam Jethroe - September 12, 2010
I'll be in the bar. Two TVs for the win!
AllSaintsDay - September 12, 2010
I'm anxious for the Braves game to start....
I’ve been counting down the minutes for the past 5+ hours.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 12, 2010
OT: I knew Mick Vick would blow it
and he did
Jaymin Patel - September 12, 2010
Whoever put that Maxi-size curse on the Hokies
Had a little left over for him.
Sam Jethroe - September 12, 2010
vick didnt blow it at all
he played a fine game, packers dominated up front and out-play called eags…
15ks - September 12, 2010
Go Braves!
whodat? - September 12, 2010
Go Braves!!!
Need to keep pace with the Phillies.
LEastCoastBears - September 12, 2010
The guys on MLB Tonight are gushing over the Phillies right now....
It’s making me sick.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 12, 2010
All the more sweet when we knock them out of the playoffs on the last day of the season.
king of games - September 12, 2010
I would be down to knock them out the first game of that series
rather than the last
CalBravesFan - September 12, 2010
No, that's not possible.
World Series is gonna be Yankees/Phillies!!! They’re TEH BESTEST!!!
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 12, 2010
All the kewl kidz sez so!
It must be true.
Sam Jethroe - September 12, 2010
Oh, and the 2010 Phillies are better than the 1995 Braves, because Halladay/Oswalt/Hamels is comparable to Maddux/Glavine/Smoltz, but the Phillies have the advantage because of Utley/Howard/Ibanez. I vomited in my mouth when they said that.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 12, 2010
raul ibanez???????
.775 OPS raul ibanez???????
atl192485 - September 12, 2010
Don't ask me...
That’s what they said. I’m guessing it’s because Ibanez plays for the Phillies, so he’s TEH BESTEST!!!1
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 12, 2010
I love the way
That any three man staff that’s above .500 is suddenly the new Big Three.
Sam Jethroe - September 12, 2010
Hamels=Smoltz
as
Aspirin=Morphine
But then again, I’m pretty sure that’s what Phillie fans take instead of aspirin, anyway.
frozendesert - September 12, 2010
They’ll need the morphine to numb the pain of not making the postseason.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 12, 2010
;-)
NCChopper - September 12, 2010
Nope, they need the morphine to live with themselves after they made the decision to be lifelong Philly Fans (after 2008, of course). If they don’t make the postseason, buy stock on suicide booths in Philadelphia. Or the Eagles.
frozendesert - September 12, 2010
In '12 and '13...
When they’re immersed in the same soup that the NY Mutts currently are, most of these people will be quietly slipping all thier Phileez stuff into the nearest Glad bag and taking it to the corner.
Sam Jethroe - September 12, 2010
nah, they take tasers
GoBravesNY - September 12, 2010
You gonna be with us the whole game? I hope so.
NCChopper - September 12, 2010
Me too. Just ran to get some food for the first time in about 25 hours. I may check out a little early to go to bed, but I hope to be here for at least most of the game
GoBravesNY - September 12, 2010
Good. We’ll try and keep you awake :-)
NCChopper - September 12, 2010
Better hope this game doesn’t go as long as yesterday’s…
If it does, I’m not sure I’ll be sticking around.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 12, 2010
Dear baseball analysts who just can’t seem to stop saying that the Braves are going to need a few more runs down the stretch:
http://espn.go.com/mlb/stats/team/_/stat/batting/year/2010/seasontype/2/league/nl
And we play at Turner. And they play at my high school field.
You are welcome,
Braves Fans.
frozendesert - September 12, 2010
at this point of the year
it’s an old, sad, stupid tripe that the braves offense is incompetent.
atl192485 - September 12, 2010
Old, sad, stupid tripe = most network analyst’s bread & butter.
Sam Jethroe - September 12, 2010
Seriously
This is just plain crap at this point.
frozendesert - September 12, 2010
Okay, kids. I'm off to the bar for the non-MLB.tv game. See you in the postgame thread.
AllSaintsDay - September 12, 2010
Don't make us have to come bail you out!
Sam Jethroe - September 12, 2010
Come on Braves, I need one of my teams to do something worth a damn today.
Lennox - September 12, 2010

EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 12, 2010
I think, there’s a salve for that.
NCChopper - September 12, 2010
Me too.
I haven’t been this excited for a game in a while.
frozendesert - September 12, 2010
What station is the game on tonight?
Lennox - September 12, 2010
ESPN
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 12, 2010
Cool, just wish I had the SAP option.
Lennox - September 12, 2010
mute it and listen to ESPN radio. It’s got Boog
GoBravesNY - September 12, 2010
Usually the picture and sound isn’t synced, which drives me crazy.
Lennox - September 12, 2010
Use
the MUTE option
hawves - September 12, 2010
Ha, I usually just put on some music or something to drown out the talking, but still loud enough that I can hear the crack of the bat.
Lennox - September 12, 2010
Adieu, mes amis.
Can’t miss HALL OF FAMER Jon Miller’s scintillating open.

joe morgan would vote for heyward for ROY
WHAT? SANITY??
atl192485 - September 12, 2010
It’s just because the Phillies don’t have a viable candidate.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 12, 2010
uh roy halladay?
first year in the nl
15ks - September 12, 2010
Good point.
I’m sure Bud Selig will be amenable to changing the rules so Hallday can win ROY. It’s already in his name. And the most important criterion is met – he’s a Philly.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 12, 2010
and because he can’t vote for himself
GeneParmesan - September 12, 2010

Hey guys!
Go Colts…wait…what? I really hope my Boy’s and Braves don’t suck tonight!
bpk228480 - September 12, 2010
If Joe Morgan says that Heyward deserves ROY… then does that mean he actually doesn’t deserve it?
frozendesert - September 12, 2010
He was just reading from a teleprompter…..so, it doesn’t count as him saying it.

This.
Detroit already got screwed by the economy.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 12, 2010
The automotive industry is weird to begin with
What’s happening to them is probably, to be honest, a market correction. There’s so many car companies and there just isn’t the demand to serve them all.

Why do the Braves have a 87% chance of making the playoffs while the Phillies only have a 75% chance ?
BravesFan2010 - September 12, 2010
Because the Phillies’ path to the postseason goes through the Braves.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 12, 2010
Nice
BeatTehMets - September 12, 2010
because there are 6 games that Phillies must to play against us

BravesRaleigh - September 12, 2010
because we are better than the Phillies
no matter what ESPN says
hawves - September 12, 2010

Duh

Colby Rasmus is a horrible 5th hitter...
.271/.357/.505 with 21 HRs is horrible Joe. Not to mention it’s .264/.354/.534 when he’s hitting 5th with 12 HR and 12 2Bs in under 200 at bats.
Mr. Sanchez - September 12, 2010
Isn't holliday the 5th hitter?
Braves24 - September 12, 2010
Nope, 4th...
but Joe Morgan said Colby Rasmus is a problem hitting 5th.
Mr. Sanchez - September 12, 2010
oh yea that's right
Braves24 - September 12, 2010
4th
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 12, 2010
i can't tell if this is sarcasm or not....
atl192485 - September 12, 2010
Clearly it has to be
Since those are great numbers, but it’s weird since Joe Morgan wasn’t really arguing the reverse.
Bronn - September 12, 2010
He said...
their problems are the leadoff spot and the 5th slot. As if Rasmus was a problem hitting after Holliday.
Mr. Sanchez - September 12, 2010
I think he said “after the fifth spot,” which includes a ton of bad hitters like Feliz, Molina, and Ryan
Bronn - September 12, 2010
if he did, I’d agree, but I don’t think that’s what he was saying.
Mr. Sanchez - September 12, 2010
then you are not...
listening to Joe Morgan. Good for you.
Mr. Sanchez - September 12, 2010
Should be easy win tonight, Hudson vs Loshe. I predict Braves win 6-1.

K out throw out DP
king of games - September 12, 2010
I really like these red jerseys.
BravesFan2010 - September 12, 2010
Joe Morgan would like us to know...
That even though that was not a GIDP… it still resulted in two outs!
SuperNewb - September 12, 2010
He is so informative.
BravesFan2010 - September 12, 2010
Can't possibly facepalm hard enough.....
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 12, 2010
strike em out and then throw em out.
Braves24 - September 12, 2010
C'mon Huddy

As a Catcher
I approve of the Strike ’em out, throw ’em out DP.

Strike 'em out - throw 'em out
NCChopper - September 12, 2010
Shumaker is not Shumacher
shumaker looked so slow there or Bmac throw was really fast?
joshant - September 12, 2010
Why didn't we just walk Pujols ?

romone_braves91 - September 12, 2010
Pujols HR....
Thankfully, the Cardinals gifted back one of the runs.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 12, 2010
Good thing Schumaker ran.
Bronn - September 12, 2010
uh oh
BravesRaleigh - September 12, 2010
Well the double play was big...
BravesDawg16 - September 12, 2010
well…
Braves24 - September 12, 2010
Warning: Joe Morgan is announcing
Don’t expect much sense to come from your TV
CapnKevHa - September 12, 2010
DP saves us a run
joshant - September 12, 2010
Let the ESPN slobberfest begin...
NCChopper - September 12, 2010
I mean...
He’s kind of worth slobbering over.
SuperNewb - September 12, 2010
As if they needed any encouragement to slobber over the Cardinals
NCChopper - September 12, 2010
He’s pretty good, that guy.
BeatTehMets - September 12, 2010
theres no way they could felate him half as enthusiastically as 90% of the regular posters here
15ks - September 12, 2010
not a terrible pitch
good thing we get to bat against Lohse
LEastCoastBears - September 12, 2010
ok, that got a lot more of the plate than I thought
LEastCoastBears - September 12, 2010
That Pujols guy is good
GoBravesNY - September 12, 2010
Votto or Pujols for MVP?
Braves24 - September 12, 2010
Too early too call.
GoBravesNY - September 12, 2010
Carlos Gonzalez
BravesFan2010 - September 12, 2010
Ryan Zimmerman
Bronn - September 12, 2010
We should sign him
king of games - September 12, 2010
And he's a free agent after this season. You think the Braves would be interested in him ?
BravesFan2010 - September 12, 2010
some guy named Freddie Freeman
might have something to say
Jaymin Patel - September 12, 2010
what team wouldn't be interested?
Braves24 - September 12, 2010
dammit
Bravely going forward - September 12, 2010
Ugh... Joe Morgan
I hate him. That’s how you hit a sinker ball…. its a flat fastball down the pipe. A crippled could do that. Idiot.
cmdpsu15 - September 12, 2010
Timmeh!

SuperNewb - September 12, 2010
Huddy needs to settle down
First inning runs can be overcome, but Huddy needs to actually start hitting the strike zone tonight
royhobbs - September 12, 2010
working with a tight Strike Zone tonight I see
romone_braves91 - September 12, 2010
Hudson just left one pitch up against Pujols.
BeatTehMets - September 12, 2010
I've decide to watch Football
and have game on the picture in picture. Joe Morgan just ruins baseball for me.
cmdpsu15 - September 12, 2010
come on huddy
Bravely going forward - September 12, 2010
we can IBB Pujols w/bases empty for the next time?
how many times IBB w/bases empty has happened?
joshant - September 12, 2010

BeatTehMets - September 12, 2010
A fair bit to B-Roids back in the day.
Ivan the Great - September 12, 2010
Ha!
Cards trying to save some trade value with Rasmus
king of games - September 12, 2010
I'm totally for the Braves signing Pujols in the offseason. I think he would be a great addition to the team and an improvement over Lee or Glaus.
BravesFan2010 - September 12, 2010
you missed the sarcasm font
GoBravesNY - September 12, 2010
I’m generally opposed to sarcasm font, on principle. Sarcasm is more funny when it’s clear enough to be understood without visual aids.
Bronn - September 12, 2010
It is. But if it’s something that stupid than it should have the font
GoBravesNY - September 12, 2010
Don’t feed the trolls!
BeatTehMets - September 12, 2010
what if he is a…
Braves24 - September 12, 2010
And we could field a team with 4 players on it with the money we would have to pay him.

LEastCoastBears - September 12, 2010
I thought I said… no more errors!
NCChopper - September 12, 2010
You say that every game, but they never listen….
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 12, 2010
You trying to say that they don’t listen to NCChopper?
Braves24 - September 12, 2010
Ugh...
That can’t be good
BravesDawg16 - September 12, 2010
Ok, this is getting ridiculous. We are flushing this game down the toilet and it’s only the first inning.
BullManUGA - September 12, 2010
this is fun
BravesRaleigh - September 12, 2010
BMac has got to be tired
BeatTehMets - September 12, 2010
that's BS
you can’t run on a third strike unless 1st base is open
WisdomVendor - September 12, 2010
Not with 2 outs
you have to make the play as the defense
BravesDawg16 - September 12, 2010
This
Live ball with 2 outs. Doesn’t matter
cmdpsu15 - September 12, 2010
Fundamentals....
You block it, not drop a mitt on it. WTF Mac.
cmdpsu15 - September 12, 2010
mythical four-out inning
royhobbs - September 12, 2010
five outs, actually
if you include the omar error
atl192485 - September 12, 2010
about as mythical
as the top 10 VA Tech Hokies?
I’m done
GoBravesNY - September 12, 2010
Gonna lose next week too
MikeTrain - September 12, 2010
JMU, JMU, JMU!!!
SuperNewb - September 12, 2010
BSU, BSU, BSU!!!
GoBravesNY - September 12, 2010
JMU screwed BSU... I fear
SuperNewb - September 12, 2010
I know. My favorite though, was I saw ESPNs bowl predictions after week 2, and they had BSU vs Oregon in the Rose Bowl. Explain that one
GoBravesNY - September 12, 2010
hahaha
They also predicted my Irish playing Tech in the Orange bowl…
Optimistic to say the least… for both teams.
SuperNewb - September 12, 2010
non AQ has to go to Rose Bowl
if Big10 or Pac10 goes to NCG
Delaware Boiler - September 12, 2010
You missed that
the two teams play in a few weeks. Explain how after that both get to the Rose Bowl
GoBravesNY - September 12, 2010
THATS THE SECOND TIME THATS HAPPENED RECENTLY
both times on sliders from RHP, if i remmeber correctly
atl192485 - September 12, 2010
Time to get some runs
we do comebacks pretty well this year at home
LEastCoastBears - September 12, 2010
Well the way I look at it
there is no way that this can be worse than the Panthers game.
MikeTrain - September 12, 2010
finally
time to pull out Lohse
i´ll take 5 runs in the 1st
joshant - September 12, 2010
I know everyone says we have Freeman so why go after an aging Pujols, but Pujols is still a great player and I think would be a better addition to the team over the next 7 or 8 years than Freeman would.
BravesFan2010 - September 12, 2010
You do realize that the Braves can’t afford Pujols, right?
Oh wait, you’re just trolling. Move along.
Ivan the Great - September 12, 2010
at least reply to yourself

this isn't fantasy baseball and we aren't the Yankees
so get over it
leedawg - September 12, 2010
Oh, you're actually not sarcastic.
Here’s a hint-the Braves traded Javier Vazquez to save $5 million. They’re not going to spend $100 million+ on Pujols.
Bronn - September 12, 2010
yes, he would be a great addition
CAN’T AFFORD HIM THOUGH, WE’RE THE BRAVES, NOT THE YANKEES
BravesRaleigh - September 12, 2010
Go Omar!
BeatTehMets - September 12, 2010

We could get 80% of his production for a fraction of the cost

BullManUGA - September 12, 2010
AUTO HIT PRADO!
BeatTehMets - September 12, 2010

to move Heyward to #3
drumzalicious - September 12, 2010
Its been time
Since May
ATLandUNC - September 12, 2010
I’m fine with the lineup so far
GoBravesNY - September 12, 2010
This
I mean, it’s obviously working as is. His walks actually serve much better in the 2 spot than the three spot, and hits like that are great for when Infante is on ahead of him.
Bronn - September 12, 2010
meh
I think the lineup could be better. With McLouth hitting better i think he could be great leading off again or Prado leading off again where he is more comfortable.
drumzalicious - September 12, 2010
Looking very hittable tonight.
He’s laying meatballs down the middle
ATLandUNC - September 12, 2010
I don't like ESPN...
But I’m so down with them showing JHey’s swing in slomo over and over again.

Bah you’re***
BeatTehMets - September 12, 2010
?????????
not even best player on his team
Jaymin Patel - September 12, 2010
He’s not even the MVP of the Rockies….
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 12, 2010
Seriously
Look at the numbers, and by numbers, I mean the rate stats. Then you need to realize that not only is he a shortstop, but a really good defensive one. And look how much better his team is playing now that he’s back compared to when he was out.
Bronn - September 12, 2010
The one flaw with that
is that CarGo hasn’t really been out for comparable numbers
GoBravesNY - September 12, 2010
Not even close
CarGo has played in 25 more games than Tulo.
Bronn - September 12, 2010
WHAAAAAATTT???!!!
SuperNewb - September 12, 2010
I guess contending for the triple crown isn't good enough to be the best player on your team?
SuperNewb - September 12, 2010
nope
Braves24 - September 12, 2010
I seriously think, if you give Tulowitski back about 30 of the games he missed
He’d be right there in the Triple Crown hunt. Of course, the Triple Crown uses stupid numbers, anyway. Tulowitski has 20 points on CarGo in terms of OBP.
Bronn - September 12, 2010
It doesn't matter... because he missed those 30 games
SuperNewb - September 12, 2010
Yet he's still right there in terms of overall value
Check it out. Higher WAR than CarGo, he’s less than half a win behind Pujols, and his wOBA is actually higher than Pujols’. And he’s a shortstop. He’s been huge for Colorado’s resurgence in that NL West race.
Bronn - September 12, 2010
Hey, is this the VMA chat forum?
CapnKevHa - September 12, 2010
Did anyone notice...
Jay kind of throws like a girl.
Does he always do that? Or was he just taking it easy. Watch that throw in on the Prado F9. It was like David Eckstein, RF.

well it is pretty important since we have 3 teams right behind us in the Wildcard standings and they are all in the NL West

Only 2 of them….seeing as one of them has to win the NL West.

Golf or tennis. Both are infinitely harder than hitting a baseball, IMO.
royhobbs - September 12, 2010
I agree, although maybe not on golf.
GoBravesNY - September 12, 2010
I disagree, on both counts.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 12, 2010
this
Braves24 - September 12, 2010
Why? A tennis ball is going nearly 20 mph faster than a baseball, and roughly the same size
GoBravesNY - September 12, 2010
racquet = bigger than bat
atl192485 - September 12, 2010
no
its that speed when it leaves racket, it slows rapidly and u mave a much bigger hitting surface
15ks - September 12, 2010
It’s also brightly colored, and you can hit it off of a bounce….which significantly slows it down. Plus, see below.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 12, 2010
*above
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 12, 2010
Further away, plus you’re playing it on a bounce, after it has slowed down. Plus, they have to serve into a certain area or it doesn’t count at all, plus they don’t grip and can’t put the same kinds of movement on tennis balls that they do on baseballs. Plus, Tennis racquets are broad and have nets in them.
Bronn - September 12, 2010
not so sure about tennis….
atl192485 - September 12, 2010
The endurance alone to play a five set match in tennis
Not to mention reflexes and skill necessary to actually be good
royhobbs - September 12, 2010
i agree with the endurance part
but i think the argument re: hitting a baseball is that it’s the hardest skill to master
atl192485 - September 12, 2010
100 mph serve has the same reaction time as a 90 MPH fastball
Obviously people can exceed these speeds. Tennis players have an advantage with a racket as opposed to a round bat, but baseball don’t have to cover 40+ feet on a serve.
CapnKevHa - September 12, 2010
Hmm, really?
Bronn - September 12, 2010
Well, hitting the respective balls with the respective tools is easier—the racket is bigger and the golf ball isn’t moving.
But hitting them to get the intended purpose—well, that’s up for debate.
/obvious post is obvious
Ivan the Great - September 12, 2010
Look at the averages for contact. Hitting a baseball, let alone a hit, is about fifty percent. Golf and tennis you hit it with more regularity. Baseball players can’t direct it as well as a golfer or tennis player.

Jaymin Patel - September 12, 2010
Because someone hit a weak flare?
BullManUGA - September 12, 2010

he’s a groundball pitcher
Jaymin Patel - September 12, 2010
And Orel just said fisted.

Just a note:
Huddy’s BA is higher than McClouth’s. That’s not a misrepresentation of talent difference IMO

Hint: Don’t hit it to Feliz.
Ivan the Great - September 12, 2010

That’s still the greatest fanpost of the season. I think Heyward read it and got angry.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 12, 2010
I think he read it and channeled more of his unholy energy
Clearly, he really wasn’t trying until then, trying to keep it fair.

No, Joe, it wasn’t McCann’s 75th RBI, as, guess what, he didn’t just drive in a run.
Do you even pay attention to the game at hand?
Ivan the Great - September 12, 2010
They prefer to talk about stuff than to watch the games.

heyward for pujols?
Jaymin Patel - September 12, 2010
No.
Ivan the Great - September 12, 2010
NO!
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 12, 2010
Obviously not
Pujols is a free agent next year.
Bronn - September 12, 2010
ya but
what if you got him extended for 8 more years at 25 mil
Jaymin Patel - September 12, 2010
you don't give up cost-controlled players that will be/already are stars
so you can pay the premium price for current stars- see the Phillies in 3 years
leedawg - September 12, 2010
What if the Braves had an infinite source of cash for player revenue?
Then it really wouldn’t matter who I’d trade for, since if I had any problems, I could just sign the top free agents the next offseason.
I refuse to pretend that contract and financial situations don’t exist. If i had one month of Pujols now versus one month of Heyward now, I’d obviously take Pujols since he’s by far a better hitter at the moment. But the cost efficiency of Heyward over the next five years plus the fact that Pujols should be in his decline phase make Heyward superior. At some point, though, Heyward will probably become very expensive as well.
Bronn - September 12, 2010
Nope.
Age and injuries.

I keep waiting for them to say:
“This game brought to you by the Philladelphia Phillies, your soon to be NL champs”

Wtf, ESPN knows that the Padres exist?
When did this happen?
Ivan the Great - September 12, 2010
The Phillies played against them at some point.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 12, 2010
Josh Johnson spits on their Cy Young discussion.
Bronn - September 12, 2010
No joke
BeatTehMets - September 12, 2010
He has single handedly saved my fantasy year
GoBravesNY - September 12, 2010
They mentioned Jimenez and Chris Carpenter and didn’t even bring up Johnson.
Bronn - September 12, 2010
exactly
Jaymin Patel - September 12, 2010
Been way worse 2nd half..

BeatTehMets - September 12, 2010
Yep.
He’s going to be lucky to make it through 6.0 IP.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 12, 2010
I’m more worried about our ability to score runs off of Lohse and whatever random relievers are in the Cards for us than our bullpen’s ability to shut them down and keep them from scoring further.

nah
he’s a Cowboys/Yankees fan…….the worst combo you could have
a hooter's baby - September 12, 2010
Plus he’s also a big time LeBron fan. Probably the biggest.
Bronn - September 12, 2010
He has to love white girls
BeatTehMets - September 12, 2010
He’s taking his talents to Landover
a hooter's baby - September 12, 2010
Gonna play more of the Bobby interview when we’re at bat – shouldn’t they do that when the opposing team is batting since we’re the home team?

Phillies are the home team. Phillies are always the home team – even when they’re not one of th teams playing.

GoBravesNY - September 12, 2010
they did?

yes. Because of what Bronn said

NOPE
atl192485 - September 12, 2010
Melky Cabera's CHONE projections
.296/.367/.441. But not 20 HRs.
Even that looks completely optimistic.

haha i just was like are you serious

Melky
.300? 20 homeruns?

Did anyone ever think that?

Not even Melky thought that

what the fuck is Joe Morgan thinking?

he isn't

Bronn - September 12, 2010
Is JM serious?
Did anybody here really believe Melky was going to hit .300 and 20-30 HR’s? Can he hear himself talk? Does he actually believe this crap? How has he not been punched by his color guy in the 20 years they’ve been together?

BeatTehMets - September 12, 2010
But what if Chipper coming back isn't best for the team?
:(
ATLandUNC - September 12, 2010
Chipper is still a presence
Much stronger than anything that Infante or Prado can provide, despite how well they hit.
BigG1392 - September 12, 2010
Not at all
ATLandUNC - September 12, 2010
I don't think that's the case.
There just aren’t that many better third basemen in the league, even in a poor year by Chipper’s standards.
Bronn - September 12, 2010
anyone surprised
that chipper didn’t say “grandfather” that interview?
atl192485 - September 12, 2010

I hate Matt Holliday and his end of the bat bloops turning into base hits tonight
AuditDawg - September 12, 2010
Of course the Braves hit deep drives to that fucker Rasmus and Holliday gets a bloop like that.
AnEternalEnigma - September 12, 2010
come on Huddy
LEastCoastBears - September 12, 2010
I think Hudson is just overmatched against Pujols :(
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 12, 2010
Unfortunately most pitchers are
AuditDawg - September 12, 2010
Well, if Hudson is…..that statement kind of becomes a truism.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 12, 2010
Pujols will make you pay
BeatTehMets - September 12, 2010
Pujols could make Randy Johnson look bad, I bet.
MBL1 - September 12, 2010 via mobile
Has he?
check Baseball-Reference
a hooter's baby - September 12, 2010
Pujols versus Randy Johnson
.458/.500/1.208
5 HR, 13 RBI in 26 PAs
Bronn - September 12, 2010
That's a big fat yes.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 12, 2010
I'd say that a 1.708 OPS is pretty good against a guy.
Bronn - September 12, 2010
He Has!
a hooter's baby - September 12, 2010
haha
that’s pujols for you
Braves24 - September 12, 2010
Let's see... Albert = RBIs/Runs
Here’s an idea – let’s not pitch to him anymore.
NCChopper - September 12, 2010
Just walk Pujols please...
SuperNewb - September 12, 2010
at least everyone but me can be happy pujols is hitting cause he’s so awesome and such a great guy, enjoy “braves fans”
15ks - September 12, 2010
dude
there is a HUGE difference between rooting for pujols because he’s good and rooting against pujols but respecting him because he’s good
atl192485 - September 12, 2010
This
I will never root for Pujols…
SuperHeyward - September 12, 2010
Well unless it’s good for the Braves to root for him
SuperHeyward - September 12, 2010
FVCK
this guy was sucking before plays against us. why always a guy who was sucking a lot before play against, instaneatly he got hot and hit everything

Let’s get a vidro, get some momentum, and crush Lohse.
Ivan the Great - September 12, 2010
what was Lohse ERA before the game?
Poll
what will be the Lohse ERA after game?
joshant - September 12, 2010
6.85 right now
joshant - September 12, 2010
-1.00 from what it was before the game
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 12, 2010
Braves making great contact this game won’t be down for long
BeatTehMets - September 12, 2010
Youve seen a braves game this year right? We have no luck… we only have big games with bloops… line drives we lose every time
SuperHeyward - September 12, 2010
Like the way we just hit the batter?
NCChopper - September 12, 2010
He's not a batter
He’s Yadier Molina.
king of games - September 12, 2010
When did Hudson become bad?
SuperHeyward - September 12, 2010
September
king of games - September 12, 2010
i mean.
Pujols is kind of the best hitter in the league . . . at least it isnt Carpenter hitting HRs
drumzalicious - September 12, 2010
yep… he just also pretty much assured there won’t be a triple crown… unless Car Go hits like 10 HRs in 17 games
SuperHeyward - September 12, 2010
c´mon Huddy
joshant - September 12, 2010
SHUT UP ABOUT PUJOLS NO ONE CARES!!!!

LOL. Rob Dibble is one of the few people to leave Washington that wasn’t voted out. Thanks Don.
BullManUGA - September 12, 2010
Huddy at 92 pitches
NCChopper - September 12, 2010

When it rains, it pours....
4-1, Cardinals
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 12, 2010
the bullpen has worked a lot in this series.
joshant - September 12, 2010
wow that was pathetic
Jtpdolphins2009 - September 12, 2010
why can't we get pitchers out???
leedawg - September 12, 2010
Un fucking believable. 2-out RBI to the fucking pitcher.
TV off. Welcome back to second place. Goodnight!
AnEternalEnigma - September 12, 2010

lingsched - September 12, 2010
This.

AnEternalEnigma - September 12, 2010
Oh it's you.
Bronn - September 12, 2010
stfu?
Braves24 - September 12, 2010
Well it IS only the fifth. I’m frustrated too. But we don’t need to freak out.
Of course, we ARE the worst team in the history of baseball.
MBL1 - September 12, 2010 via mobile
Especially since we came back from a 4-1 deficit in the bottom of the 6th on Friday. What the hale.
Sarahbeth - September 12, 2010
Screw pitcher RBIs!
king of games - September 12, 2010

Good work Hudson... thanks for being an Ace until it REALLY mattered
SuperHeyward - September 12, 2010

Hektor DiPaula - September 12, 2010
Just setting up for the comeback, right guys?
Ivan the Great - September 12, 2010
Was that ball hit that hard? it looked like it took Gonzalez forever to react to it on the replay.

Hektor DiPaula - September 12, 2010

LEastCoastBears - September 12, 2010
Too soon
BeatTehMets - September 12, 2010

Hektor DiPaula - September 12, 2010
Minimize?
What does that word mean?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 12, 2010
6-1, Cardinals
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 12, 2010
Hmm... game over?
SuperHeyward - September 12, 2010
umm...
i think so…. we only beat the good pitchers….
Hektor DiPaula - September 12, 2010
Braves will hit this game! Patience!
BeatTehMets - September 12, 2010
yeah but If he gives up a couple runs theyll just pull him and then we have to face some pretty decent relievers…
SuperHeyward - September 12, 2010
No one has a good bullpen

EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 12, 2010
Or that.
Gotta get to Lohse now, time is basically out with this deficit.
Ivan the Great - September 12, 2010

Lennox - September 12, 2010
I should probably watch this show sometime.
Bronn - September 12, 2010
yes, yes you should
GoBravesNY - September 12, 2010
Like most things, it got crappy eventually (most recent season).
But decent enough until then.
Ivan the Great - September 12, 2010
Good show, except for last season, but I think they’re going to turn it back around this year.
Lennox - September 12, 2010
good show
watch it
Braves24 - September 12, 2010
Neil Patrick Harris should do a guest spot on NCIS sometime, since those shows are on the same network. He’d be good for something there, I think.
Bronn - September 12, 2010
He’d be good anywhere
GoBravesNY - September 12, 2010
I’m done. Good luck for the rest of the night everybody.
BullManUGA - September 12, 2010
Huddy has been up in the zone all night.
king of games - September 12, 2010
yes he has been bad
SuperHeyward - September 12, 2010
its time to pull out Huddy
joshant - September 12, 2010
Moylan?
BeatTehMets - September 12, 2010
Tim Hudson has not been the same in his past 3 starts.
If he doesn’t turn it around our season will be going down.
Also, why are there so many damn Cardinal fans in Atlanta?
BravesFanScout - September 12, 2010
I don’t get all the fans either.
BeatTehMets - September 12, 2010

MBL1 - September 12, 2010 via mobile
let KK pitch
it’s not worth it to pitch the regular BP guys. wave the white towel, bobby.
atl192485 - September 12, 2010
the game is not f*ing over!!!!!
we’ve ripped it all night
15ks - September 12, 2010
this is unbelievable
our Ace vs their 5th starter and we are losing 6-1
joshant - September 12, 2010
What has been Huddy's run support his last 3 starts?
NCChopper - September 12, 2010
1 run.
Ivan the Great - September 12, 2010
probably same as most our pitchers… negative 2
SuperHeyward - September 12, 2010
This.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 12, 2010
he’s given up 6, 4 and 4 runs so who cares
DCP916 - September 12, 2010
I do, or I wouldn’t have asked
NCChopper - September 12, 2010
Last 8 games he has pitched...
4-1, 3-0, 1-0, 3-2, 4-5, 12-3, 2-4, 0-5, and tonight….
mvandonsel - September 12, 2010
feel like if rasmus misses the nate homer, this might not have happened
15ks - September 12, 2010
i doubt that clears the fence
atl192485 - September 12, 2010
what?
that was no doubt his arm was against the wall 2 feet up
15ks - September 12, 2010
not quite
he was 1-2 feet in front of the fence when he jumped, then fell backwards.
atl192485 - September 12, 2010
Yeah
It was way over actually. Rasmus has some mad ups.
king of games - September 12, 2010
Hudson is pitching ala Carpenter.

GoBravesNY - September 12, 2010
why do we pitch to Pujols and Ryan Howard?
It’s retatrded. If a team has ONE guy that kills us every time we should pitch AROUND them.
sigh
