If Prado can’t run it out (hurt, tired or whatever) – I really wish he would move to a lower part of the order.
That’s twice tonight he coasted to 1st.
We are a foot here and a bounce there away from leading this thing...
BMac’s ball almost got out, JHey barely missed the catch that set up a run. Martin’s ball was inches away from being gone. Just terrible luck. Great effort by BB, he was every bit as good as advertised IMO.
But we have a chance to win in the most uneven pitching matchup in pennant race history (I have nothing to support this). I’m ok with we’re at right now, just gotta get a few late runs here.
Pitching matchup the next 2 games are Minor vs Halladay and Hanson vs Oswalt. Would you give the Phillies the edge in both games in terms of pitching ?
he is off and on against us…oswalt is usually just not good against us…and for the record we shouldn’t be losing to hamels…and a rookie kept up with him for a while
I posted…does that mean I am banned from here as well? i dunno how SBNation works so if you get banned is it a universal ban across the board or just a blog ban?
LET’S GO PADRES! LET’S GO PADRES! LET’S GO PADRES! LET’S GO PADRES! LET’S GO PADRES! LET’S GO PADRES! LET’S GO PADRES! LET’S GO PADRES! LET’S GO PADRES! LET’S GO PADRES! LET’S GO PADRES!

As awful as the Braves are in the postseason, it's an absolute must that we win the division and end up with home field throughout the playoffs. Otherwise, the season is over.
We need to get into the playoffs at this point. I want the division and home field advantage too. But it being a “must” is a bit ridiculous. Who know what will happen once we get to the postseason?
Go Braves!!!!!
hawves - September 20, 2010
So is anyone else surprised at the quick hook?
kidnarcolepsy - September 20, 2010
wait
who got thrown out?
forgotten_glory - September 20, 2010
Nobody got thrown out.
Bobby pulled BB after a 3-base error, a sharp grounder, and a single. I was kind of surprised that he pulled Beachy out of the game that quickly.
kidnarcolepsy - September 20, 2010
Yes
CalBravesFan - September 20, 2010
heck yeah!
HEYJUDE - September 20, 2010
No more of
that please.
hawves - September 20, 2010
How's Beachy looked?
Missed the game so far… is Hamels possibly hittable today?
ATLforlife - September 20, 2010
great and was but not anymore
Jaymin Patel - September 20, 2010
He left some balls up
but overall a good performance for the kid, imo
HEYJUDE - September 20, 2010
Only 1 earned run. I say, pretty darn good.
NCChopper - September 20, 2010
Beachy gave up WAY too many hard hit balls
He pitched worse than his line
kbertling353 - September 20, 2010
I wish Melky would get the quick hook
dude has cost us 2 runs already. game should be tied.

BravesDawg16 - September 20, 2010
Inconsistent strike zone is inconsistent.
Bronn - September 20, 2010
So the ump decides to expand the zone after the Phillies get the lead? Nice.
Ivan the Great - September 20, 2010
Whatever helps them to win?

given the ump
yes it was
Sir Veza - September 20, 2010
Looking back
you are right
BravesDawg16 - September 20, 2010
not really
it was inside- ruiz’s frame job may have tricked you, but not the ump
leedawg - September 20, 2010
Not even close to a strike
DreamWithinADream - September 20, 2010
Lol
Ruiz fooled the announcers with that sell job, but not the ump.

Not good enough
Prado was still out.
Bronn - September 20, 2010
Prado look a little slower today to anyone else?
Sir Veza - September 20, 2010
why couldnt he just strikeout........
MikeTrain - September 20, 2010
Weare a
A huge double play machine these days….good for giving opposing infields some practice it seems
Kevin McCarthy - September 20, 2010
Just Prado really
(and melky but he sucks at everything)
DreamWithinADream - September 20, 2010

Almost hitting HR's
HEYJUDE - September 20, 2010
yes, two double plays
Almost, doesn’t count.
Kobe:The Legend - September 20, 2010
Intentionally missing homrunes by one foot then grounding out to second
It’s like he wants us to lose.
Bronn - September 20, 2010
well that was fun
bpk228480 - September 20, 2010
yeah, while it lasted, it was fun

3 double plays in 6 innnings

Shit
I’m getting sick of fucking double plays
Bob Mackie - September 20, 2010
If Prado can’t run it out (hurt, tired or whatever) – I really wish he would move to a lower part of the order.
That’s twice tonight he coasted to 1st.

conrad?

Don’t freak out yet. Our offense doesn’t usually show up until the 7th.

And sometimes it never shows up...
Bob Mackie - September 20, 2010
no they showed up tonight
and just got killed by Melky twice.
this team isn’t that easy to come back on.

I knew this wouldn’t be easy (vs) Hamels – but I sure wish we would put up a bit more of a fight.
NCChopper - September 20, 2010
game isnt over
drumzalicious - September 20, 2010
I know that. why I want them to fight more.
NCChopper - September 20, 2010
how many pitches does hamels have?
forgotten_glory - September 20, 2010
If we weren't beating ourselves
I wouldn’t be as upset
DreamWithinADream - September 20, 2010
this wouldnt be as bad if it we weren’t losing from our own ineptitude
bpk228480 - September 20, 2010
agreed 100%
the Phillies haven’t played that great, but the Braves keep shooting themselves in the foot.
nuftjedi - September 20, 2010
exactly
DreamWithinADream - September 20, 2010
they tried.
Melky didn’t get the memo.
nuftjedi - September 20, 2010
Shitty luck as well
That Prado almost 2-Run HR to a double play was killer
DreamWithinADream - September 20, 2010
We’re putting up just enough of a fight that it will break the Phillies’ backs and destroy their morale when Conrad hits a 3-run HR in the 9th.
kidnarcolepsy - September 20, 2010
2 outs for Peter!
NCChopper - September 20, 2010
We are a foot here and a bounce there away from leading this thing...
BMac’s ball almost got out, JHey barely missed the catch that set up a run. Martin’s ball was inches away from being gone. Just terrible luck. Great effort by BB, he was every bit as good as advertised IMO.
letsgobravos - September 20, 2010
+100000000
once again, the ball hasn’t been bouncing our way. this one isn’t over yet.
lingsched - September 20, 2010
and a McClouth AB vs a Melky AB
just one of them would have had at least one more run.
nuftjedi - September 20, 2010
what the heck
that was just a strike against hamels
drumzalicious - September 20, 2010
Peter is nimble tonight.

How did the kid look?
musicman - September 20, 2010
looked solid
when he got the ball down, didn’t get any help on D
lingsched - September 20, 2010
not bad but felt like he tip-toed all night
SuperHeyward - September 20, 2010
He left some pitches up
But I thought he looked pretty good.
kidnarcolepsy - September 20, 2010
Good for the most part
left the ball up some, but pitched out of trouble, and kept us in the game.
HEYJUDE - September 20, 2010

Considering the conditions, very good

when is there a day there isn't fail?
Sir Veza - September 20, 2010
Remember that day in Chicago?
Heyward went 4-4 with two doubles, two homers, and two walks? There was no fail that day.
Bronn - September 20, 2010
not by Heyward
but the Cubbies failed it up pretty good, enough for both teams in fact
Sir Veza - September 20, 2010
We generally ignore Cubbie failure.
It’s basically a given.

Okay, I'm guessing Madson comes in the for the 8th
So we pinch hit McLouth for Melky, then we can get Hinske in the pitcher’s spot, then we get the top of the order up.

That's how we get our lefties in

I’ve had too much beer to notice the sarcasm font. My bad.
kidnarcolepsy - September 20, 2010
off to the gulag!
Sir Veza - September 20, 2010
Uh... um... hmmm....
Which direction is it again?
kidnarcolepsy - September 20, 2010
to the left points to the right
Sir Veza - September 20, 2010
Good, then he’s due to fail
NCChopper - September 20, 2010
Let's go Braves,
no reason you can’t even it up.

HEYJUDE - September 20, 2010
so do the padres and rockies play later tonight?
bpk228480 - September 20, 2010
No
ruxsin - September 20, 2010
Nope
lose and it’s a one game lead in the loss column
DreamWithinADream - September 20, 2010
Dissapointed with the hitting
But we have a chance to win in the most uneven pitching matchup in pennant race history (I have nothing to support this). I’m ok with we’re at right now, just gotta get a few late runs here.
ruxsin - September 20, 2010
Bobby sending Peter out for another.
NCChopper - September 20, 2010
And now that's done
ruxsin - September 20, 2010
Not for long
HEYJUDE - September 20, 2010
Leadoff walk (the 6th we’ve given up this game).
Now we need a VIDRO.
NCChopper - September 20, 2010
yay for more walks
bpk228480 - September 20, 2010
Beachy did his job. Too bad the defense let him down. It’s not over yet but poor play spoiled a great debut for BB.
BullManUGA - September 20, 2010
It sure did
HEYJUDE - September 20, 2010
That and the lack of O...
yep
Mr. Sanchez - September 20, 2010
Heyward, Prado, and Melky
DreamWithinADream - September 20, 2010
Farns and Dunn warming.
BullManUGA - September 20, 2010
i just arrived
how is the team doing?
joshant - September 20, 2010
it was going great till MVHS showed up
then the bottom fell out
Sir Veza - September 20, 2010
BB, pretty dang good, hitting poor, defense poor. The pen is up and down.
BullManUGA - September 20, 2010
Phillies lead
on 2 unearned runs
DreamWithinADream - September 20, 2010
Beachy had a good outing, and was pulled too soon, imo
a Heyward error cost us
HEYJUDE - September 20, 2010
Bah
Moylan was awesome for four outs, hate to see him leave like this.
Bronn - September 20, 2010
He’s tired. It’s breakfast time in Australia.
BullManUGA - September 20, 2010
Dunn’s ERA is on the line.
Joseph_C - September 20, 2010
technically it always is
SuperHeyward - September 20, 2010
He’s not responsible for the runner on 1st, but yes, yes it is.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 20, 2010
Dunn’s probably the luckiest pitcher to ever pitch 14+ innings.
BenDuronio - September 20, 2010
Jeff Bennett?
ATLforlife - September 20, 2010
nice
kbertling353 - September 20, 2010
but he’s a bulldog!
bpk228480 - September 20, 2010
I was thinking more like Rick Camp
Bronn - September 20, 2010
http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=1001901&position=P
if he had a career 3.89 K/9 and a 3.21 BB/9
how the hell is his career FIP sub 4
kbertling353 - September 20, 2010
ugh
Mr. Sanchez - September 20, 2010
it's not hard to not give up a run
when you’re coming in the game with 1 or 2 outs in the inning
kbertling353 - September 20, 2010
What?
It would be harder then…
DreamWithinADream - September 20, 2010
STFD Utley
pray for mojo - September 20, 2010
how was Heyward error?
joshant - September 20, 2010
depressing
drumzalicious - September 20, 2010
sucked
bpk228480 - September 20, 2010
botched a line drive
ruxsin - September 20, 2010
epic
Sir Veza - September 20, 2010
catchable
kbertling353 - September 20, 2010
missed a fly ball off his glove I believe
Sir Veza - September 20, 2010
skipped off his glove on a ball to right center.
Bronn - September 20, 2010
frustrating
Cayla - September 20, 2010
dropped a deep fly... hit the edge of his glove and fell out...
Sean Lavery - September 20, 2010
Pathetic really
He took a terrible route to the ball and had it go off his glove. It was a line drive but still.
DreamWithinADream - September 20, 2010
K!
Cayla - September 20, 2010
got him
drumzalicious - September 20, 2010
Ryan Howard ... you're dunn.
ruxsin - September 20, 2010
Dunn looking good thus far
HEYJUDE - September 20, 2010
1 more out here would make me happy :-)
NCChopper - September 20, 2010
Me too!
HEYJUDE - September 20, 2010
You're easy to please
I’d prefer at least 3 more runs.
Bronn - September 20, 2010
this
leedawg - September 20, 2010
I said “here” – we’re not at bat.
I’d be delirious if we got 3 or more runs.
NCChopper - September 20, 2010
K!
pray for mojo - September 20, 2010
STFD Howard.
kidnarcolepsy - September 20, 2010
ryan howard strikes out..
that never happens…haha
forgotten_glory - September 20, 2010
STFD!!!!!
Sir Veza - September 20, 2010
wow
apparently our whole bullpen will be up in this game
EOFMoylanDunnFarnsworth warming up
drumzalicious - September 20, 2010
not KK
leedawg - September 20, 2010
No Farnsy please
HEYJUDE - September 20, 2010
so long as it isn't Venters or Kimbrel
unless it’s a save situtaion
Sir Veza - September 20, 2010
Still have Venters, Kimbrel, Martinez, Marek, and Wags down there.
Bronn - September 20, 2010
Martinez is worth it
Mr. Sanchez - September 20, 2010
and its only the 7th
drumzalicious - September 20, 2010
We can use KK if it goes into extras.
Bronn - September 20, 2010
wait
since when did Marek arrive?
drumzalicious - September 20, 2010
Hmm
I said Marek, but was thinking of Proctor.
Bronn - September 20, 2010
Dickhead on the field
Philly is such a shithole
bpk228480 - September 20, 2010
Diaz (Caveman) doing his part to take him down!
NCChopper - September 20, 2010
Idiot Philly fan on the field
Big surprise
Cayla - September 20, 2010
Yep seems about right
dumbass phillie fans
DreamWithinADream - September 20, 2010
I've seen em run on the field in ATL too
E-Lizz - September 20, 2010
I was at the Red Sox game last year
when a fan run on the field. Police clotheslined him into the grass then piled up on him. It was awesome.
Sir Veza - September 20, 2010
bahahaha
idiot just ran on the field
drumzalicious - September 20, 2010
Hi Philadelphia. Good to see your fans respect the game.
Ivan the Great - September 20, 2010
Taze that MFer
ohhhhhh MATTTY DDDDD WITH THE TAKE DOWWWWWWN
letsgobravos - September 20, 2010
they can't do that anymore
Mr. Sanchez - September 20, 2010
Matt Diaz is the f-ing man.
Bronn - September 20, 2010
The trip was nice, but if he would have pulled a Gaby Sanchez it would have been epic
bpk228480 - September 20, 2010
Diaz takes him down! Epic!
BenDuronio - September 20, 2010
Glad he didn't get hurt
Mr. Sanchez - September 20, 2010
Matt Diaz is my new hero.

HEYJUDE - September 20, 2010
LOL. Did they show it on TV?
BullManUGA - September 20, 2010
yeah
hhahaha and they are advocating tazing philly phans
Sir Veza - September 20, 2010
I agree in that situation...
in any park. Taze them
Mr. Sanchez - September 20, 2010
yep
Mr. Sanchez - September 20, 2010
Only to show what Matty did :)
HEYJUDE - September 20, 2010
Never do.
Bronn - September 20, 2010
Not at first, but showed Diaz taking him down.
ruxsin - September 20, 2010
I bet there was a big debate over it in the van
ruxsin - September 20, 2010
Yeah — they showed it only to show Matt Diaz trip the guy.
kidnarcolepsy - September 20, 2010
That dude looks like a big red condom

In all seriousness,
Matt Diaz should make Sportscenter tonight.
kidnarcolepsy - September 20, 2010
He should make Sportscenter for just standing around!
Capt. Caveman is the man!

So was that Nightman or Dayman?
kidnarcolepsy - September 20, 2010
Why is Melky still playing??
DreamWithinADream - September 20, 2010
clutch-ness.
Bronn - September 20, 2010
Clutchness fail.
kidnarcolepsy - September 20, 2010
He's a true Yankee
And he has the same number of rings as Chipper Jones. That makes him as good as Chipper Jones.
Bronn - September 20, 2010
Freakin' Melky is still in.
Bronn - September 20, 2010
I think we'll pull this one out

I seriously question melkys ability to hit a baseball well
Bob Mackie - September 20, 2010
Glaus' bat looks slow
ATLandUNC - September 20, 2010
Do we ever get a hit when we're ahead in the count?
Scott Coleman - September 20, 2010
that's why you don't play matchups
sitting mcclouth and his hot bat has cost us 2 runs tonight already
nuftjedi - September 20, 2010
Yep. This is ridiculous.
E-Lizz - September 20, 2010
Melky is bad at his job
Yet he keeps getting assignments
ATLandUNC - September 20, 2010

looked good off the bat

Wow. Right at him.

Mr. Sanchez - September 20, 2010
OMAR HAS TO GET A HIT
MikeTrain - September 20, 2010
it's ok
their closer is Brad-blown save-Lidge
Sir Veza - September 20, 2010
he has been lights out lately
Kobe:The Legend - September 20, 2010
Yeah, I don't have as much faith in him blowing it
E-Lizz - September 20, 2010
I've heard that nasty rumor on teh interwebz somewhere....
Sir Veza - September 20, 2010
F Hamels
Not even that good today
DreamWithinADream - September 20, 2010
It should be 1-1 still. We let them have the game.
Scott Coleman - September 20, 2010
or lets explode to the 9th
MikeTrain - September 20, 2010
Is it bad of me to be mad at Heyward for that error?
HEYJUDE - September 20, 2010
No
I am
DreamWithinADream - September 20, 2010
But I probably won't be tomorrow
Find it hard to be mad at him for long
DreamWithinADream - September 20, 2010
Me either
HEYJUDE - September 20, 2010
no
Bob Mackie - September 20, 2010
Is it bad of you to expect good defense in a tight pennant race?
No, not at all.
ATLforlife - September 20, 2010
of course no
Kobe:The Legend - September 20, 2010
No
I daresay we all are.
Cayla - September 20, 2010
It was a bad error
SuperHeyward - September 20, 2010
The 2 errors tonight, we couldn’t afford.
NCChopper - September 20, 2010
Nope.
I guarantee you that he’s madder at himself than any of us are at him.
kidnarcolepsy - September 20, 2010
I'm sure he is too.....
HEYJUDE - September 20, 2010
Nope
he’s a big boy now.
bpk228480 - September 20, 2010
Perhaps
But if the Braves don’t score any more, it wouldn’t have mattered anyway.
Bronn - September 20, 2010

Good night for infante
Bob Mackie - September 20, 2010
he’s decided he doesn’t want the batting title after all
SuperHeyward - September 20, 2010
He’s really hurting his chances right now.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 20, 2010
can't imagine they would run Hamels out there for the 9th
we might have a good chance there, especially with the heart of the order up
LEastCoastBears - September 20, 2010
can we please make a new thread?
MikeTrain - September 20, 2010
I knew this one was evil
MikeTrain - September 20, 2010
Sigh
It’s not like Hamels is throwing unhittable stuff.
pray for mojo - September 20, 2010
I’m disappointed we’re losing, but I didn’t really expect us to win the rookie going tonight.

At least that rookie…

CT's #1 Braves Fan - September 20, 2010
Pitching matchup the next 2 games are Minor vs Halladay and Hanson vs Oswalt. Would you give the Phillies the edge in both games in terms of pitching ?
BravesFan2010 - September 20, 2010
Yes.
BenDuronio - September 20, 2010
Um.
Yes.
E-Lizz - September 20, 2010
nope
Oswalt not so good against the Braves in his career…
forgotten_glory - September 20, 2010
Neither was Cole Hamels...
just saying
BravesDawg16 - September 20, 2010
Hamels hasn’t beaten us as much as we have beaten ourselves.
BullManUGA - September 20, 2010
he is off and on against us…oswalt is usually just not good against us…and for the record we shouldn’t be losing to hamels…and a rookie kept up with him for a while
forgotten_glory - September 20, 2010
I still have to give him the edge over Hanson
He’s been absolutely dominating since the trade.
E-Lizz - September 20, 2010
So basically you're saying, odds are we're going to get swept ?
BravesFan2010 - September 20, 2010
You asked if the Phillies have the edge in pitching.
I said yes, they do have the edge in pitching. I’m scanning my comments and “sweep” was never written.
E-Lizz - September 20, 2010
Also, the point of Manuel's decision
WAS to put the pitching edge with the Phillies. So yes, they do have the edge and that was the entire point of him scrambling his rotation.
E-Lizz - September 20, 2010
depends which hanson shows up..

Kobe:The Legend - September 20, 2010
WTF
they have 5 hits and 3 runs
we have 6 hits and only 1 run
joshant - September 20, 2010
We have 2 errors and they have 0.
BullManUGA - September 20, 2010
Three base error and walks.
BenDuronio - September 20, 2010
i know that
it make how important is not to walk and make errors
joshant - September 20, 2010
they also have 6 walks…and we committed two errors….so there you go
bpk228480 - September 20, 2010
Yes, they’ve definitely out OBPed us. Heyward is, of course, the only one who drew a walk for us.
Bronn - September 20, 2010
Farnsworth pitching in the 8th inning just gives me nightmares

I want the Braves to play all their home games at Coors.

that place is ridiculous

I still think we’d lead the league in WTP
bpk228480 - September 20, 2010
Heyward would hit 755 homers.
BullManUGA - September 20, 2010
And why would we even want to read this?

Did you also know that they’re in first place? And they’re leading the Braves in this game?

he's hitting first
we’re down 2 runs
. . . . .

SuperHeyward - September 20, 2010

so you’re saying we shall go into overtime.
i would prefer to just end it now. 3 back to back HR

Maybe he had to shake off the Royalness.

I don't care we struck out 2 times and went 1-2-3 against Lidge

EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 20, 2010
As awful as the Braves are in the postseason, it's an absolute must that we win the division and end up with home field throughout the playoffs. Otherwise, the season is over.
BravesFan2010 - September 20, 2010
I meant as awful as the Bravse are on the road.
BravesFan2010 - September 20, 2010
Thank you for the contribution
We need to get into the playoffs at this point. I want the division and home field advantage too. But it being a “must” is a bit ridiculous. Who know what will happen once we get to the postseason?
E-Lizz - September 20, 2010
unless Melky starts.
then you know it will be a loss
nuftjedi - September 20, 2010
Yes, this is true.
E-Lizz - September 20, 2010
well for that to happen
we have to win all 5 games left with the Phils and match their record in our other 6.
if we lost another game head-to-head, the division is lost.
nuftjedi - September 20, 2010
tomorrow and the day after we are facing RH
so No Melky in the lineup
joshant - September 20, 2010
Oh good, we should be able to win the next 2 since we're facing RH's.

IF we both make the playoffs it doesn't matter who wins the division...
The spoils go to the team to win the NLCS
