Randall Delgado takes on Cliff Lee in game one of the season ending series. First pitch is at 7:10 PM EDT. Braves lineup:
- Michael Bourn, CF
- Martin Prado, LF
- Chipper Jones, 3B
- Dan Uggla, 2B
- Freddie Freeman, 1B
- Brian McCann, C
- Matt Diaz, RF
- Alex Gonzalez
Good to see Gonzalez back in the lineup after missing a few games due to injury.
Go Braves!
And by the way, Bacardi Oakheart tastes awful… a rep brought it by the bar to try and get us to carry it.
dcbravesfn - September 26, 2011
It sounds awful
Manning to Heyward - September 26, 2011
Its called oak heart
because they actually press out the absorbed liquid in the wood of the barrel to get this stuff. Its the dreg of dregs. and tastes like your licking the bottom of a rum barrel. Except if you actually did you might get a splinter, taking your mind off the bad taste.
dcbravesfn - September 26, 2011
It’s crunch time. Make or break. Gotta do it ourselves, can’t rely on those ’Stros.
GumpBrave - September 26, 2011
I wrote it in the attendance thread
but sorry for doing the Price is Right thing to your guess. I didn’t actually mean to do it, it was the random number that popped in my head.
dcbravesfn - September 26, 2011
.
Price is Right
leedawg - September 26, 2011
It’s cool. I got a tight window but I’m feeling real good about 44,111
GumpBrave - September 26, 2011
Let's Go Braves!!!!!
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
I won't
be able to watch the post season at all if the Braves don’t make it. Hopefully, they make it so I can watch some MLB playoffs.
LETS GO BRAVESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PhuckthePhillies - September 26, 2011
I'm going to call it
Matt Diaz’s first HR of the year coming up today
LEastCoastBears - September 26, 2011
yay..! another thunderdome thread...!
Bizarros - September 26, 2011
Braves just need to be patient
I know Cliff Lee throws a lot of strikes and the usual strategy is to attack him early, but he is on a pitch count, supposedly. A patient approach like what they did against Strasburg on Friday may just be what’s needed to get that elusive W.
LEastCoastBears - September 26, 2011
You know things have gotten out of control when seeing Alex Gonzalez back in the lineup is a cause for a parade.
AmgineRmEht - September 26, 2011
thunderstorm?
Hey im headed to the ted but am gonna be late, what’s the chances of a rain delay? Hoping were delayed 30 min or so!

The orange marker is Turner Field. They’ll be fine tonight. They may get a stray shower in two hours or so, but nothing that will impact the game.
AmgineRmEht - September 26, 2011
lets go braves lets win tonight and put the pressure on the cards !!!
unreel20 - September 26, 2011
Early runs for us would be nice. We should get 3-4 innings in before they get going
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Lose tonight and we're done.
That’s all.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - September 26, 2011
I guess you're writing Lowe completely off
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Absolutely.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - September 26, 2011
I'm more worried about us scoring
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Considering we just got Wang'd and Detwiler'd
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Well, that too.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - September 26, 2011
Cy Wang and Cy Detwiler are aces. Cliff “Hobo” Lee is some cast-off from the Royals, isn’t he? The Braves will hit him hard.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
WIN
that is all
TonyAlmeyda - September 26, 2011
From WSB
“One of the largest Monday night crowds in Turner Field history expected tonight”
AmgineRmEht - September 26, 2011
Maybe the fans will somehow will the team to win.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
I appear...
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
Time for Diaz to have 1 good game as a Brave in 2011
pbrfan - September 26, 2011
An early, career defining game for Delgado tonight
I can feel it
sidbreamsstache - September 26, 2011
I'm here, rooting for the BRAVES tonight.
Because, come October 28th, I will be wishing I could see even a mediocre playing Braves team on the field on my TV.
It’s a long time from Nov-April and I am going to enjoy these next 3 games no matter the outcome.
October Braves baseball will just be a bonus :-)
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
Let’s just hope you aren’t waiting Sep-April…..
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
this
leedawg - September 26, 2011
This is true
I’ll still be watching next season whether they play in the postseason this year or not.
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
Glavine in the booth. Maybe he'll bring some good luck
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
LET'S GO WANDY
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Very much, “LET’S GO WANDY”. A Cardinals loss and a Braves win today would restore confidence in the team and the entire fanbase.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
Am I being too cynical when I feel more comfortable about our chances of winning tonight as opposed to tomorrow night?
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
Lowe is going to pitch 7 shutout innings
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
You do know that there is no such thing as the Easter Bunny, right?
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
Braves can pull Lowe early if needed. They can’t pull Lee early.
pbrfan - September 26, 2011
I feel more comfortable tonight, but only because the Braves usually handle Cliff Lee reasonably well.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
I desperately want a win today.
Make it so, Bravos….make it so.
thenightstallion - September 26, 2011
Sherrill available to pitch to a batter or two tonight
so we’ve got that going for us
leedawg - September 26, 2011
lol
Undocorkscrew - September 26, 2011
What a relief
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
I wanna say small victories
but I’m not sure either word is accurate there
thenightstallion - September 26, 2011
Sherrill AND Gonzalez are back?!?!
GAME OVER.
AmgineRmEht - September 26, 2011
Veteran Presence FTW! -Fredileedawg - September 26, 2011
GO BRAVES!!! Win or lose, playoffs or not... I'll still love ya...
But I’d rather you make the playoffs.
707kid - September 26, 2011
My sentiments exactly
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Anyone wanna join me under the rock I'll be under for a month if we miss the playoffs?
Beachy Keen - September 26, 2011
My grandmother called me today to make sure I'm ok
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
If the Brewers and Diamondbacks finish with the same record, how is it determined who plays the Wild Card winner?
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - September 26, 2011
First team to call dibs.
thenightstallion - September 26, 2011
HA!
kreese555 - September 26, 2011
One game playoff
Beachy Keen - September 26, 2011
That’s only for ties for the WC or ties for the division, I believe
pbrfan - September 26, 2011
Yeah, youre right, miss read the question
Beachy Keen - September 26, 2011
D-Backs own the tiebreaker if we hold on
otherwise it would be Phillies-Cards
leedawg - September 26, 2011
Actually, this...
Wildcard will be the team that owns the season record against the other.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
rock paper scissors
unreel20 - September 26, 2011
if we dont make it...
do we really care….?
Bizarros - September 26, 2011
Assuming the wild card is in the same division as the Phillies, the Phillies will get whichever of those they had the better in-season record against (I think?).
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
And I thought wrong.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
lol
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
I feel more comfortable with Delgado pitching without a full house
It’s already the biggest game of his life and he’s on national television…..
Undocorkscrew - September 26, 2011
National television?
What channel
Classic17 - September 26, 2011
Did someone wake up Fredi?
GumpBrave - September 26, 2011
I hope he sleeps throughout the entire game
So I hope not….
Undocorkscrew - September 26, 2011
Good evening, all.
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
I'm feeling it tonight.
Good things will happen.
Classic17 - September 26, 2011
love it.
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
Rain delay??
My television says Phillies-Braves on MLBN, but it’s showing Baltimore-Boston…
I’ma be pissed.
-C
cthabeerman - September 26, 2011
My MLBN is Baltimore-Boston, too – but I live in the Baltimore-D.C. suburbs.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
I’m in Denver, so I don’t fall under a regional bias. One would think the NL game would be playing in an NL city.
-C
cthabeerman - September 26, 2011
see 3 lines below
leedawg - September 26, 2011
The way it works...
MLBN decides to show a particular game. If you are in the viewing area of one of those teams, it is blacked out and you get the alternate game. So only people in Blatimore/Boston are getting the Phillies and Braves
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
That can't be right.
I’m right outside Baltimore and getting the Baltimore/Boston game.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
That’s the way it was explained to me by someone who claimed to actually know. It’s made sense ever since then, so I figured it was true. Perhaps it isn’t…
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
Well, actually…your explanation is correct for 99% of cases. I think MLBN is just screwing with me tonight.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
Maybe it’s Brian Kenny’s fault.
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
i'm in new york city ...
and it’s blacked out here and mlb network is showing boston/baltimore. i’m’a cut a bitch.
calucas78 - September 26, 2011
Don’t you know, EVERYBODY would rather watch the sox.
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
Same with me
It says “regional coverage” of either game on my guide.
I’m in Kansas City.
Classic17 - September 26, 2011
Red Sox Nationleedawg - September 26, 2011
i’m in Florida, still get the AL game.
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
You got this Randy. Do work
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
OH MY GOD
C.B. Bucknor is the home plate umpire?!?!?!?!?
AmgineRmEht - September 26, 2011
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!!!!!!
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
Helping us out so far...
Undocorkscrew - September 26, 2011
Good start
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
good start
leedawg - September 26, 2011
Goos start!!
StapleGun - September 26, 2011
Good start.
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
Will CBB be kind to us tonight?
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
We can only hope
delicious_dimes - September 26, 2011
Well, who had Randal Delgado as our Game 1 pitcher in the first series of the 2011 Braves Playoffs?
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
This is a playoff series?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
play-in series, more or less
leedawg - September 26, 2011
what do you think…?
Bizarros - September 26, 2011
Might as well be.
thenightstallion - September 26, 2011
For all intents and purposes yes
Beachy Keen - September 26, 2011
CB f'ng Bucknor behind the plate
biggjoe404 - September 26, 2011
Generous calls so far
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
I hope McCann slipped him some greenbacks before the game
Beachy Keen - September 26, 2011
Good pitch
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
I really wish our fanbase would have shown up at the game tonight.
I mean, for pete’s sake. It’s basically a play-in series
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - September 26, 2011
They didn't?
Undocorkscrew - September 26, 2011
Looks at least half-empty.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - September 26, 2011
They sold over 40,000 tickets
ATL traffic sucks and they are still filing in.
AmgineRmEht - September 26, 2011
Delgado doing a good job working the corners thus far.
GumpBrave - September 26, 2011
Meals is at 3rd!
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
We get Jerry Meals too?
Good grief.
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
At least he helps us.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - September 26, 2011
Hope you’re right.
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
That’s who I saw ump in Philly when Philly walked off on us in the 9th
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
Home tomorrow, first Wed, we're screwed
Beachy Keen - September 26, 2011
meals loves us
Stephen M - September 26, 2011
I hear Eric Gregg is coming back from the dead to work home plate tomorrow night.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
Bill Hohn working game 3
delicious_dimes - September 26, 2011
How ironic would it be if we missed the playoffs due partially in part to a blown call by Meals?
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
Ironic is not the word i would use
Beachy Keen - September 26, 2011
LOL GLAVINE
“That was a strike a few years ago…not anymore.”
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
Whew Matty scares me out there
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Wow, why is Heyward not playing???
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
I was waiting for you to mention that
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Lefty pitching, I'd assume.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - September 26, 2011
Lefty pitcher, bro
AmgineRmEht - September 26, 2011
Future of the franchise, bro.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
Ahem. Diory Hernandez is clearly the future of the franchise.
Ivan the Great - September 26, 2011
/Constanza’d
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
Yes, let's give a guy some at-bats because he's the "future of our franchise", even though he's awful against lefties and we're in a playoff race.
Genius!
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - September 26, 2011
If you want to get Matt Diaz some at-bats against lefties, sit Prado – who has been worse than Heyward this year.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
Diaz’s defense scares me less than Heyward’s.
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
That’s like saying you are more scared of Martha Stewart than Adolf Hitler.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
I am more scared of Martha Stewart. She’s a sneaky bitch. I know what to expect with Hitler…
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
Makes sense to me...
Hitler can hardly hurt me from the grave.
And Heyward hasn’t exactly been great defensively…
-C
cthabeerman - September 26, 2011
He’s been exactly great defensively according to DRS, in which he leads all Braves. I think he’s among the RF leaders for all of baseball.
pbrfan - September 26, 2011
Does that measure laziness?
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
No, but it measures results.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
He does do a phenomenal job of fielding balls on a hop or two and getting them back into the infield…
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
You are speaking total nonsense.
It’s useless to further discuss this if you are going to make crap up.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
If I were gonna make something up, I’d come up with a three letter acronym and follow it with a plus or minus sign and some number in decimal form. I would not make up something like a simple observation, though.
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
Agreed 100%.
He is amazing out there.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
Jaded. I have no problem with disagreeing on it, but amazing? I’ve seen Hinske make more amazing plays in the outfield than I’ve ever seen Heyward make…
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
aaaaaaaand
we’re done here
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
ChopMaster? That you?
leedawg - September 26, 2011
lol, no not quite.
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
DRS loves him...
UZR says he’s okay.
Love his range, but his arm is not accurate at all and runners aren’t afraid to run on him.
-C
cthabeerman - September 26, 2011
And arm is the least important component of defense, but highly visible. Range is substantially more valuable
pbrfan - September 26, 2011
Both have him substantially better than Diaz. So that this is even being debated is ridiculous. Neither the metrics or the eye test support Diaz over Heyward in any universe.
pbrfan - September 26, 2011
I never argued anything about Diaz, either way. I don’t think Heyward is great defensively. He’s good, and as I mentioned, he’s got range. But he’s not infallible defensively, as some think.
-C
cthabeerman - September 26, 2011
Oh I’m not at all trying to say that Diaz is better. I’m just saying the he certainly doesn’t make me any feel less comfortable than I would be with Heyward out there…
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
You haven’t watched much baseball then. Heyward is an order of magnitude better.
pbrfan - September 26, 2011
Same results, but at least Diaz look’s like he’s trying. Heyward takes lazy routes and seems to give up on way too many…
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
Yeah, I’m not sure you are giving an accurate description of Heyward there.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
He “looks” like he’s trying, gotcha. Feel free to return with some objective evidence.
pbrfan - September 26, 2011
I don’t do sabre, I watch games. He looks lazy out there at times. That’s all I’m saying. With Diaz, at least I know he’ll give it everything he’s got…
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
He’s not lazy out there.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
Honestly, I think sometimes it’s his stride. It makes him looking like he’s jogging, so when he doesn’t catch up to a ball it frustrates me. But I don’t think that’s the case all of the time…
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
you know what the explanation is already
whether you like it or not, it is what it is
leedawg - September 26, 2011
I thought Fredi had grown out of this childishness when Heyward started like 8 games in a row.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
probably just happened to be 8 RHP in a row
leedawg - September 26, 2011
And yet, Prado starts every day and hits 2nd…
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
you know the response for that as well
Track Record, back of baseball card, etc… No point in even arguing about it today, just add it to your list of reasons why you hate FG, and fanpost it in the offseason- hopefully that’s not this weekend
leedawg - September 26, 2011
Has been all RHPs lately. Even though Diaz has been horrific as a Brave and Heyward has been one of the best hitters this month. Plus he’s substantially better in the field.
pbrfan - September 26, 2011
Alright lets get some runs!
StapleGun - September 26, 2011
GREAT JOB RANDALL

Stupid Chop This House commercial.
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
It seems like we started our slide when they started airing those
biggjoe404 - September 26, 2011
Could be worse.
thenightstallion - September 26, 2011
Oh you didn’t…. quick everyone minimize that!
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
That's why I added the title
I figured, given the circumstances, it couldn’t make anything worse.
thenightstallion - September 26, 2011
Good start!
HEYJUDE - September 26, 2011
PLEASE
can we get a run or two here and get an early lead
leedawg - September 26, 2011
Buck Showalter likely just had a heartattack in the Orioles dugout
He had to be taken out and it looked really bad
AmgineRmEht - September 26, 2011
Not good at all.
thenightstallion - September 26, 2011
Bourn is gonna lay down a bunt. Book it
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
some more bad hitting luck
LEastCoastBears - September 26, 2011
Poor Michael. Robbed again.
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
5 pitches 2 outs
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Against Lee
this doesn’t bother me too much.
Remember the games where we rocked him, everyone was swinging early.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
I know just giving updates
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
And he had a sensational game with 15 Ks. One of the luckiest wins possible.
pbrfan - September 26, 2011
I'll take 3 lucky wins today, tomorrow, and wednesday
leedawg - September 26, 2011
can't make him throw balls
leedawg - September 26, 2011

Yep, great to see :-)

Nothing wrong with Larry Wayne Jones, Jr.
Bronn - September 26, 2011
Ahhh Uggla
a tad short. Good double.
nypeach83 - September 26, 2011
Seemed like he got it a bit off the end of the bat. Still a good swing.
StapleGun - September 26, 2011
Uh oh, someone brought their bats to the stadium today.
GumpBrave - September 26, 2011
Yes, he did
Kudos to the equipment manager! Without him, none of the is possible!
Bronn - September 26, 2011
I hope Fredi is taking notes, that might be his job next year.
GumpBrave - September 26, 2011
Ugglasaur!!
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
Uggs… now knock him in!!!
delicious_dimes - September 26, 2011
Uggs!
HEYJUDE - September 26, 2011
Uggla with a double
LEastCoastBears - September 26, 2011
get him in please
LEastCoastBears - September 26, 2011
UGGLA!!!!
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
DOUBLE
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
Hit'em hard, fellows.
Bronn - September 26, 2011
When I saw all the new comments explode at the bottom
I exhaled for the first time all inning. It’s going to be a long three days.
Classic17 - September 26, 2011
UUUUUUUGGGGGLLLLLAAA
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
Look at them, playing with all kinds of intensity.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - September 26, 2011
Ok, Freddie – show us the future!
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
Come on Freddie bring him in
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Blahz
nypeach83 - September 26, 2011
Attention lineup
More results like Chipper and Uggla.
Thanks,
Everyone
leedawg - September 26, 2011
+1
HEYJUDE - September 26, 2011
Ump sucks
Gameday shows that the ball fell like 20 ft behind the fence and they ruled it as a double
joshant - September 26, 2011
technically it did
Stephen M - September 26, 2011
oh i get it now. haha oops
Stephen M - September 26, 2011
Braves haven't had a lead since Friday's win
I missed that feeling
LEastCoastBears - September 26, 2011
After 1, Lee not invincible
Braves 1-0
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
Turner Field
Kryptonite for Cliff Lee
leedawg - September 26, 2011
Ok, so at the game on Saturday
in the 8th inning, when Marmol decided to keep the Cardinals playoff hopes alive by loading the bases, after every pitch in the Braves game, the entire Braves infield would turn around and look at the scoreboard.
I got a picture of Freeman and Wilson doing it…I’ll share it with you guys later after I upload it.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
I had a feeling they were doing that
biggjoe404 - September 26, 2011
Chipper showed up
Not surprised
Frozen Fan - September 26, 2011
Let's go Randall Delgado, shut em down!
Beachy Keen - September 26, 2011
Shut em down, Delgado.
AmgineRmEht - September 26, 2011
Keep it up Randy. Shut em down
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
And shut'em up.
Bronn - September 26, 2011
And send ’em home.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
Chipper. I tip my cap to ya..
ebraves - September 26, 2011
I feel like I time-traveled 10 years in the past watching Chipper hit that ball.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - September 26, 2011
The mushrooms I took early are really exacerbating that effect.
GumpBrave - September 26, 2011
Watching Chipper's comments there...
…makes me wonder just what kind of manager he would be.
How do you think he would manage this group of guys differently (or not) than Fredi?
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
We would certainly be higher on carpengi’s list of offensive categories.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
I still have my Chipper poster on my wall, 11 years later.
Maybe i’ll get another one.
TheMelkHasSpoiled - September 26, 2011
Does it have his name at the top and three pictures of him?
thenightstallion - September 26, 2011
Yeah, how'd you know?
Real big CHIPPER and under it, Chipper Jones, and 3 pictures.
TheMelkHasSpoiled - September 26, 2011
I’ve got the one that says “WIND” underneath him from about 1998. It was part of an elements series. Smoltz was Fire, I forget what the others were.
StapleGun - September 26, 2011
Loving
Randall’s high socks.
nypeach83 - September 26, 2011
Me too.
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
Fastballs are the only pitches Howard can hit....
Undocorkscrew - September 26, 2011
Wow, Delgago is pounding the corner perfectly!
Looking good so far.
TheMelkHasSpoiled - September 26, 2011
Don't walk Howard
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
96 on that last pitch
Undocorkscrew - September 26, 2011
Ugh… cheap hit.
delicious_dimes - September 26, 2011
It was ball 4 anyway
Undocorkscrew - September 26, 2011
True, true
delicious_dimes - September 26, 2011
Dang. Infield hit.
nypeach83 - September 26, 2011
Astrohitting bastard
Ivan the Great - September 26, 2011
Oh of course he spoils the shift!
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Partly because of the way he was being pitched.
Bronn - September 26, 2011
Well...kept throwing him out and away...
And then he fouls it off that direction.
Bronn - September 26, 2011
Yunel makes that play…
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
Ok, Justin....
Get off the horse. It’s dead.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
See below
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
Weiss* makes that play.
TheMelkHasSpoiled - September 26, 2011
*Come on, guys, we have to talk about what we talked about when we were winning!!!
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
Schafer is better than McLouth because he has SPEED
leedawg - September 26, 2011
there we go.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
Venters should be the co-closer with Kimbrel
leedawg - September 26, 2011
Freeman is a terrible defensive 1B
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
not to mention no power
leedawg - September 26, 2011
Send him to Gwinnett
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
with Heyward
save on cab fare
leedawg - September 26, 2011
FREE MATT YOUNG!!!
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
We need Barbaro in the lineup
Ivan the Great - September 26, 2011
how they gonna leave hanson off the all star team
goddam bruce bochy
eyy - September 26, 2011
Seriously doc, this lotion isn't helping at all!
Or wait….was that only baseball stuff?
thenightstallion - September 26, 2011
If we had only moved Prado to SS....

Goodness. Let’s DP this little hiccup.

Hey there gorgeous. Good to see you.

The theme song from this stand up is what Delgado should run out to

Please don’t let this guy beat you….
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
Hi Shane, I hate you.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - September 26, 2011
Ugh
Alex.
nypeach83 - September 26, 2011
Not sure they get Victorino anyways
AmgineRmEht - September 26, 2011
Looked like he had a good shot
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Almost a GIDP....but failed on execution....
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
CHIPPPEERRRRRRRRR
DustinSmith - September 26, 2011
I hate Victorino
Like I would actually assault him if I ran into him in public. Fines, community services, jail time.. it would all be worth it.. prick.
ebraves - September 26, 2011
lol

biggjoe404 - September 26, 2011
Jeez, how does Alex bungle that? I don’t know if you get Dicktorino there anyway, but really?
Ivan the Great - September 26, 2011
Damnit we had 2
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
yeah, missing plays like that is why are in this wc position.
ebraves - September 26, 2011
TAKE THAT CLIFF FUCKING LEE
DustinSmith - September 26, 2011
damnit
I think Sea Bass could have gotten Victorino
LEastCoastBears - September 26, 2011
OK enough stupid luck for one game already!
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
Welllllllllllllllll....gotta play clean baseball if we want to survive.
Bronn - September 26, 2011
sorry video stream way behind haha
DustinSmith - September 26, 2011
Ibanez scares me more than anyone.
AmgineRmEht - September 26, 2011
Sickening , isn't it?
Undocorkscrew - September 26, 2011
when he plays the Braves, it's like he goes into the phone booth and becomes
Babe Ruth Ibanez
leedawg - September 26, 2011
For me, it’s Mayberry.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
2 outs....
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
No more Scott Proctor for Ibanez to punish
LEastCoastBears - September 26, 2011
One of my friends (A Sox fan) sent me this facebook message
“Thank you, Scott Proctor!”
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
2 Down
C’mon Randy, strand dicktorino.
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
this could be a good nickname
randy skinny
eyy - September 26, 2011
Come on go after Polanco. Don't wanna face Ruiz
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Delgado just barely missing his spots so far tonight.
Bronn - September 26, 2011
yup, liking his location so far
keeping it on the outside corner and down
Stephen M - September 26, 2011
Pitching a lot down and away
If he can start hitting that corner a little more consistently, this game could get shorter by a few k’s
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
Yay!
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
nice
ebraves - September 26, 2011
Another solid inning by Delgado. Excellent!
fandave - September 26, 2011
Good job.
Now, more offense please!
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
Whew.
Good job RD!
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
Delgado looking sharp; hitting all his spots
I’d trust him over Lowe in the playoffs.
AmgineRmEht - September 26, 2011
I'd trust anyone on this blog over Lowe
thenightstallion - September 26, 2011
RAAAAAAAANDY!
Tim Goad - September 26, 2011
Well done. Let's score some more
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
I'm dying here.
And it’s only the 2nd. I’ve opened up all the doors and windows because I’m sweating like crazy and it’s only like 65 degrees in here.
Classic17 - September 26, 2011
Otis Nixon? That you?
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - September 26, 2011
Not cool
thenightstallion - September 26, 2011
I laughed.

I know, he's all hot.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - September 26, 2011
haha
I didn’t mind it, but too soon didn’t seem to fit. It was funny…carry on.
thenightstallion - September 26, 2011
Delgado is one of our 4 best starters right now
that is all
CharlestonSC - September 26, 2011

Sooo excited for next year.
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
...teheran
eyy - September 26, 2011
Indeed
I knew I was missing one.
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
Time for Mac to get it going
ebraves - September 26, 2011
that
was definitely strike 1 but i’ll take it
CharlestonSC - September 26, 2011
That would’ve been a double for Bourn.
StapleGun - September 26, 2011
Holy crap, how slow can you be
AmgineRmEht - September 26, 2011
wow, Mac is really really slow
LEastCoastBears - September 26, 2011
wow, the sky is blue
Beachy Keen - September 26, 2011
Freeman beats that out
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
i beat that out
unreel20 - September 26, 2011
Me too
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
I pay someone to do it for me.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
Chipper with a piano strapped to his back could have beat that out
leedawg - September 26, 2011
2nd straight start for Matty
LEastCoastBears - September 26, 2011
2nd straight LHP starter for opponent
CharlestonSC - September 26, 2011
I know
just saying that the continuity might help him
LEastCoastBears - September 26, 2011
10-4
CharlestonSC - September 26, 2011
Furcal beats that out. Why did we let go of him and why is McCann in the lineup?
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - September 26, 2011
Wait, what?
You do realize that Brian doesn’t play shortstop, right?
Aaron Meier - September 26, 2011 via mobile
/justincredibul'd
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - September 26, 2011
haha
whoosh
kreese555 - September 26, 2011
What in the Fredi??
ebraves - September 26, 2011
I love Brian McCann to death
but he has got to be about the slowest runner in baseball.
Aaron Meier - September 26, 2011 via mobile
even slower than tim hudson rounding the bases?
Stephen M - September 26, 2011
lol Huddy was TRYING to be slow
and I think he was still running faster than McCann does.
Aaron Meier - September 26, 2011 via mobile
Paul Konerko would give him a run for his money.
Classic17 - September 26, 2011
you can run as slow as you want around the bases
when you hit it over the fence
leedawg - September 26, 2011
An excellent point.
Classic17 - September 26, 2011
Nice!
BeatTehMets - September 26, 2011

NOOOOooooOOO

NCChopper - September 26, 2011
Delgado is about to go yard.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - September 26, 2011
Fredi, this would be an acceptable time to bunt…
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
why lets go for the big inning i like this more
unreel20 - September 26, 2011
Yeah, Bourn beats out a lot of infield grounders...
Undocorkscrew - September 26, 2011
eh
may as well let him hack — alex will score from 2nd with 2 outs on allllmost any hit
CharlestonSC - September 26, 2011
I actually like him swinging away finally. You can’t bunt every single time. Teams are playing so far up the lines that the bunting has been very ineffective.
pbrfan - September 26, 2011
Let's go Bourn....
Gotta get a hit off Lee at some point in your career, may as well be right here.
Undocorkscrew - September 26, 2011
You must be at the game
BeatTehMets - September 26, 2011
Wow look at Chip on the bench
He’s STILL locked in, and looks pissed
biggjoe404 - September 26, 2011
LOVE IT
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
He looked like Michael Corleone
delicious_dimes - September 26, 2011
Hell yea
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
I for one am PUMPED about catching fire against Philly and steamrolling into the playoffs. GO BRAVES!!!!
abraves257 - September 26, 2011
Well hello there, kid
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
Hey there gramps! Haven’t been around much, just got back to Eugene. How have you been?
abraves257 - September 26, 2011
I’ve been busy.
But I’m excited to see some playoff baseball! It’s been a year!!!
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
Question for you....
IF the Braves make the playoffs and….
IF they win the NLDS and….
IF the Phillies also win their NLDS…..
Will you be heading to Philadelphia for games there?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
IF I can get a ticket, yes!
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
I’m seriously thinking about it, but I’d be afraid a Philly phan would pelt me with D batteries and vomit on me…. :(
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
I actually had a good time with them. After the Phillies walked-off on us in the 9th, I heard it from all sides, but it was all good natured.
During the game, one guy was trying to start crap with me about the city of Atlanta and the Falcons. The joke was on him though, as I’m not from Atlanta, and I’m a Jaguars fan….then again, the last part that I just said kind of makes the joke on me again…
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
I hate that year long gap before more playoff baseball… Also, how goes Operation American Jesus?
abraves257 - September 26, 2011
Obviously, I’m not saying that I’m some sort of white African space-Christ. That’s for others to say, that’s not for me to say…
oh, and it’s going very well. My weights are about where I wanted them to be, and now it’s time to start dialing in the cardio!
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
when the world slips you a jeffrey, stroke the furry wall
leedawg - September 26, 2011
Awesome.
Classic17 - September 26, 2011
You took me by surprise when you let me inside you
Inside you, Inside you
There’s got to be a part of me inside you
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
let's not serenade ME with that song
leedawg - September 26, 2011
I have crossed the barren desert to snap pictures of the poor
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
when they look back in music history..they'll say...Sgt. Pepper...African Child
leedawg - September 26, 2011
Nice reference….
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
He’s never been there but he’s really serious about it, and about potentially going there.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
What you did was very spiteful, but it was also very brave and very honest and I respect you for doing that. But the content of what you said has made me hate you. So there’s a layer of respect, admittedly, for your truthfulness, but it’s peppered with hate. Hateful respect.
leedawg - September 26, 2011
I don’t like the dynamics of this relationship.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
African Child the worst thing for Africa since the Arpatheid
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
I was watching the news one day and I saw footage about, uh, war, and I think it was in Darfur, or Rwanda, or Zimbabwe, or one of ‘em, and I thought, ’this isn’t right, is it?’ And I made some phone calls and it turns out, it isn’t.
leedawg - September 26, 2011
A few years ago, you’d have a couple of drinks, we’d be going back to our place for a three-way.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
Yeah, I just don't get how talent can be contained in one's spunk.
leedawg - September 26, 2011
Also awesome.
Classic17 - September 26, 2011
Oh I know, I just felt like it needed some bad ass Operation yada yada thing. And that’s great to hear. Just dont start trying to push through pain and hurt yourself, I know how easily y’all old men can break ;)
abraves257 - September 26, 2011
methinks you missed the reference…
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011

biggjoe404 - September 26, 2011
Nice.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
DROP A BUNT MICHAEL
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Randall could have beat that out
if he had better stride
LEastCoastBears - September 26, 2011
Maybe
But honestly I’d rather him go sit and chill for a bit before having to pitch again.
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
This
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
I’ll take a runner on 3rd with one out over a rested pitcher any day.
StapleGun - September 26, 2011
WTF?!?!?!
Undocorkscrew - September 26, 2011
Don't say things like that....
Some of us can’t see. It scares us.
Classic17 - September 26, 2011
This
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
I'm not even watching the game....
Undocorkscrew - September 26, 2011
RBI via AstroHit please
leedawg - September 26, 2011
Well rested Alex G= unstoppable force. ijs.
Adamal24 - September 26, 2011
Kinda like Takashi Saito last season?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
/racist
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
Nothing racist about it....
Don’t you remember that article Jacob wrote last year, showing that Takashi Saito was lights out on 2 days rest between uses, but was complete trash when used in consecutive game relief appearances?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
anytime you see “/racist” it’s probably a joke.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
I knew it was a joke, I just didn’t see the context for even attempting it. It confused me.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
You mentioned the name of someone of asian descent lol
abraves257 - September 26, 2011
Oh, that’s sufficient?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
yes. this crowd is easy to please.
abraves257 - September 26, 2011
You compared a non-white person to another non-white person.
lol
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
Oh, I see now. Wait….Alex Gonzalez is a non-white person!? WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME!?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011

calucas78 - September 26, 2011
I had this happen to me last year
LEastCoastBears - September 26, 2011
I dial down the video quality and it seems to stay in sync with the tv feeds. Doesn’t alter video that noticeably, IMO
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
Nice job by Bourn regardless
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
wow..
patience…
Bizarros - September 26, 2011
so we can´t hit single so far
joshant - September 26, 2011
37 pitches for Lee.....
Undocorkscrew - September 26, 2011
Lee already at 37 pitches through 2 innings
Great at-bat by Bourn though; total flip-flop from yesterday’s mess.
AmgineRmEht - September 26, 2011
Supposedly is on an 80 pitch count…
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
75
unreel20 - September 26, 2011
I’d take that too.
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
Yeah
2 runs!
fandave - September 26, 2011
i hate
watching on mlb.tv (though i do like it in HD on my tv vs on the computer) because you guys always see everything 10-15 seconds before me
CharlestonSC - September 26, 2011
I use MLB.tv and never have this issue. Are you watching it on a ps3, perhaps?
Ivan the Great - September 26, 2011
I’m using my PS3 ATM, so I’m delayed as well.
When I just use my computer, I think I am actually ahead of the FSS feed.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
I’m definitely ahead of most people watching TV here on most nights.
Ivan the Great - September 26, 2011
Apple TV
CharlestonSC - September 26, 2011
Do the Braves not get blacked out for you? I’m assuming you’re from Charleston.
GreatestEver - September 26, 2011
/banned
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
this
leedawg - September 26, 2011
Do you guys have beyond severe quality issues with the PS3 app, or is that just me? I have a fine connection, but the picture at best looks like it was put through a blender or something.
Shocked - September 26, 2011
It’s hit or miss. Right now, it’s fairly good.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
I don’t feel that way…unless I’m watching the game on my phone (but then I wouldn’t be on TC)
LEastCoastBears - September 26, 2011
It is because of the NexDef plugin. You can disable it.
pbrfan - September 26, 2011
I think you’re right. I never use NextDef and I’ve never had lag.
StapleGun - September 26, 2011
Wish we coulda gotten more there, but we’ll take it!
Especially with getting Lee’s pitch count up.
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
Yeah this is pretty much glorious after the past 2 games
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
a run a inning ill take !!!
unreel20 - September 26, 2011
Getting a runner in from third with two outs
would probably have exploded the universe. I’m content with one, as long as RD can keep dealing.
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
Shut em down again Randy
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
would be sweet
if the Braves just knock Lee out of the game
LEastCoastBears - September 26, 2011
I don't remember the last time bourn drove in a run
and he’s been up in several situations lately where a hit could be at least 1 run
leedawg - September 26, 2011
I just wish he would at least try a bunt hit.
It seems like forever since I’ve seen him do it.
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
Didn't he try a bunt on the first pitch of that AB?
Undocorkscrew - September 26, 2011
It went so fast, I must have missed it.
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
He's just trying to fit in.
Aaron Meier - September 26, 2011 via mobile
Hello Friends!
Sorry I’m late…I thought that the game would be televised here on MLBN…but I forgot that there are only 2 teams in baseball…the Yankees and Red Sox, so of course, they show Boston vs. Baltimore on MLBN. FMFL!!!!
DolphinNation - September 26, 2011
Why goodday sir! Don’t be angry, 3 more games until we are on National TV again.
abraves257 - September 26, 2011
Evenin’ fella…how was the trip out West?
DolphinNation - September 26, 2011
Smooth, yet expensive. Flew out and shipped most of my stuff which is extremely less expensive, and am just about all settled in
abraves257 - September 26, 2011
Attaboy!!
DolphinNation - September 26, 2011
Yep! plus no car means less chance of driving drunk, ya know?
abraves257 - September 26, 2011
8-9-1
don’t sleep on Cliff Lee though
leedawg - September 26, 2011
He hits DINGERZ!
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
1 pitch 1 out. Nice
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Keep comin with the PBP brother!
Regards,
No link, no broadcast, no nada
DolphinNation - September 26, 2011
Will do
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Free outs are good....
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
Kelly Johnson took offense to that.
ebraves - September 26, 2011
I’d much rather have free outs than two if i’m pitching
abraves257 - September 26, 2011
I guess I was referring to Johnson’s dropped pop up catch a couple years back. (last out i think?)
ebraves - September 26, 2011
I was making a pun… a terrible one at that
abraves257 - September 26, 2011
The dude in the center (with the sign) has a pretty run-of-the-mill hat, not a wild one.
Ivan the Great - September 26, 2011
Explain thyself
abraves257 - September 26, 2011
There were some fans — with a “wild hats for wild card” sign.
The guy on the left had an octopus hat that was orange. The guy on the right had a Native American headdress. The guy in the center had a regular cowboy-y hat on.
Ivan the Great - September 26, 2011
They let the Village People in the game?
leedawg - September 26, 2011
we may need a screenshot of this octopus hat
abraves257 - September 26, 2011
You aren’t missing anything. pretty lame.
Aaron Meier - September 26, 2011
Did anyone notice...
How fast Freeman ran down the line during his groundout? He nearly beat it out. Great sign on his hip/quad injury.
AmgineRmEht - September 26, 2011
I did. He was really busting it
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Cliff batting above the Mendoza line
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Who’s pitching for HOU tonight?
delicious_dimes - September 26, 2011
Wandy Rod
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Wandy I believe
nypeach83 - September 26, 2011
Wandy Rodriguez
Beachy Keen - September 26, 2011
Wandy Rodriguez, I believe.
DolphinNation - September 26, 2011
Roger Clemens
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - September 26, 2011
Pre-steroids. That growth hormone is serious.
GumpBrave - September 26, 2011
Hope he pumped himself full o’ roids beforehand.
delicious_dimes - September 26, 2011
Nolan Ryan
leedawg - September 26, 2011
Roy Oswalt
joshant - September 26, 2011
Winnar!
DolphinNation - September 26, 2011
winner
he has to start for them tonight, then Philly tomorrow. Perfect
leedawg - September 26, 2011
Cliff Lee has a .205 avg?
Is that like a record?
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
He’s taking some good hacks
biggjoe404 - September 26, 2011
Mike Hampton/Micah Owings say nah.
Ivan the Great - September 26, 2011
Owings is a career .286 hitter.
That’s nuts.
Classic17 - September 26, 2011
For Cliff Lee, yes
Undocorkscrew - September 26, 2011
he took Tommy Hanson deep earlier this year
LEastCoastBears - September 26, 2011
Don't walk Lee
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Knock this shit off Cliff.
delicious_dimes - September 26, 2011
Easy, Randy....
Undocorkscrew - September 26, 2011
Loving this start. What happened earlier is irrelevant, As Dany from a Song of Ice and Fire would say “If I look back, I am lost”
GumpBrave - September 26, 2011
Nice
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
that's the key
it doesnt matter how you get to the playoffs, getting there is all that matters
Stephen M - September 26, 2011
so glad he didn't walk Lee
LEastCoastBears - September 26, 2011
great inning again
LEastCoastBears - September 26, 2011
Delgado is dealing....
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
Could Randall
be in the postseason rotation?
nypeach83 - September 26, 2011
if we made it to the nlcs yes but not the nlds ive herd and he should be in insted of lowe but we know that wont happen
unreel20 - September 26, 2011
If JJ and Hanson are both still out
And with the new postseason schedules making 3-man rotations less of an option, I’d say it’s definitely possible.
Andy Kim - September 26, 2011
If he keeps this up, I’d certainly consider it. Out of all the rookies (save maybe Beachy), he seems the most unrattled by pressure
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
Indeed. That’s why I’m hopeful. I love the composure.
nypeach83 - September 26, 2011
Im not so sure he is eligible.
Atleast not until the NLCS with possible implications. The Braves dont have a player on the 60 day DL to replace, nor was Delgado, or for that matter Teheran, on the 25 man roster on Aug 31st this season. Both were reassigned before the 31st and called back up a week or so into sept.
aRC - September 26, 2011
doesn't matter
just have to be in the organization by the 31st
leedawg - September 26, 2011
As per wikipedia and how I have always understood the rule...
aRC - September 26, 2011
DOB has been over this several times
and you just quoted wikipedia, so you’re 0 for 2
leedawg - September 26, 2011
Wow
Just wow. Youre cool tho.
aRC - September 26, 2011
Being eligible is one thing. I figure most people know that he IS eligible as is everyone in the org., thats besides the point. What I was focusing on is the fact that there wasnt a player on our roster on the 60 day DL. Which IS the rule.
Nevermind that tho, I forgot Moylan just went down for the season. Most likely on the 60 day DL.
Please dont be an asshole. Its insanely unbecoming.
aRC - September 26, 2011
9-pitch inning for Delgado
AmgineRmEht - September 26, 2011
it could've been 3
Lee got 7 pitches
joshant - September 26, 2011
Nice inning! Let’s get another one, hows about it.
delicious_dimes - September 26, 2011
the match up stl/hou one is suppose to favor hou
so lets hope that’s right !!!
GO BRAVES go ASTROS
unreel20 - September 26, 2011
Considering the massive difference between the two lineups....
….I don’t buy that.
Undocorkscrew - September 26, 2011
pitching wise the guy whose on the mound for cards has never won against astros and the guy for the astros dominates cards
unreel20 - September 26, 2011
The 2nd part is much more important than the first. Wandy can be a great pitcher when he is on his game, we just need to see if that Wandy shows up.
GumpBrave - September 26, 2011
If we sweep the Phils
none of that matters :-)
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
true but i would like a win for us a lost for them tonight makes the pressure on them much much higher
unreel20 - September 26, 2011
9 pitch inning for RD makes me happy :-)
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
Honestly,
Chop The House Down would’ve worked a lot better
biggjoe404 - September 26, 2011
I’m hesitant to say anything, but this isn’t the same Philly team that gives us fits. Their batters are just kind of throwing the bat out there and going “Mneh.”
Ivan the Great - September 26, 2011
Sssshhhhhhhhhh
let us have our moment.
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
I like it here in my bubble, so hush. ;-)
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
you shut your mouth
leedawg - September 26, 2011
Go fly a kite
abraves257 - September 26, 2011
J Roll another 1 pitch out. Awesome
9 pitches for RD that inning
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
1-7-1
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Wooo
37 pitches through 3!
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
Randall Delgado: Not intimidated.
Bronn - September 26, 2011
I like this Delgado kid
Beachy Keen - September 26, 2011
Love him
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
pitches seen by cliff lee = 7, pitches seen by ruiz and rollins = 2
Stephen M - September 26, 2011
Delgado is dealin'
HEYJUDE - September 26, 2011
Let's keep tacking on runs
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
If we make the playoffs...
I would LOVE to hear how Fredi would justify putting Lowe in the playoff rotation over this kid.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - September 26, 2011
"experience"
or “a feeling” no doubt
CharlestonSC - September 26, 2011
Let’s see what Lowe has tomorrow
sidbreamsstache - September 26, 2011
I’ll give you a preview:
4.2 IP, 9 H, 5 ER, 2 Ks, 4 BB
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - September 26, 2011
What is that guy thinking?
Either he forces his girl to wear Braves gear tonight, or she stays at home. It’s that simple.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - September 26, 2011
Negative
The relationship should never have gotten started in the first place
thenightstallion - September 26, 2011
Very true.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - September 26, 2011

Ew, what is that? Is that a snake? Ew.
Classic17 - September 26, 2011
Honey badger is the worlds leader in bad-assedry in nature. don’t f*ck with a Honey Badger…
abraves257 - September 26, 2011
You know who narrated the video, right?
He’s only known as “Randall.” I think it was Delgado.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - September 26, 2011
Oh man, how could I have not seen this before?
He’s even more brilliant then I thought.
Classic17 - September 26, 2011
Yes? Go on? What did you then think?
:)
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
So far Bucknor's giving the corners to Delgado, but not Lee
Undocorkscrew - September 26, 2011
Bucknor’s zone is uh… yeah.
Ivan the Great - September 26, 2011
Yup.
BeatTehMets - September 26, 2011
If Uggla somehow fouled a ball of his bicep, he wouldnt feel a thing
Beachy Keen - September 26, 2011
Off to play some catch with the roomies
GO BRAVES!
abraves257 - September 26, 2011
at least Chipper made Lee work there
LEastCoastBears - September 26, 2011
Oh Chipper, you can’t take that…. again.
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
Swing the bat Chip. You know he's gonna give you a strike
Great pitch though
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
If someone told you at the start of the season...
that Chipper would hit .279 18 HR 69 RBI AND still be playing at the end of the season, would you take it?
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
Yep...
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
Not if he plays 162 games.
BeatTehMets - September 26, 2011
Yeah probably
And for sure given the fact that scoring is down this year.
Andy Kim - September 26, 2011
Is anyone else rooting for the Red Sox to make it too?
saipol - September 26, 2011
Hell no
DolphinNation - September 26, 2011
Why not?
saipol - September 26, 2011
Because I can’t stand Red Sox fans. They’re almost as annoying as Yankee/Phillies fans.
DolphinNation - September 26, 2011
Red Sox and Cubs fans are Yankees and Phillies fans who think they have character
GumpBrave - September 26, 2011
Who cares…they’re all d-bags.
DolphinNation - September 26, 2011
Nope...
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
No way
delicious_dimes - September 26, 2011
Are you kidding? I am so sick of the red sox stuff outnumbering Atlanta stuff at my college in Alabama. I’m taking notes and looking forward to some serious taunting.
Redeeming factor: Since Red Sox fandom is a lowest common denominator kind of thing, lots of really hot girls are Red Sox fans..
GumpBrave - September 26, 2011
Minor ankle injury for Showalter.....
Undocorkscrew - September 26, 2011
Shouldn’t start a post with “Minor ankle injury”
pbrfan - September 26, 2011
The original thing posted here speculated that it was a heart attack..
GumpBrave - September 26, 2011
Lol @ Glavine
delicious_dimes - September 26, 2011
Pitch #50 incoming for Lee
AmgineRmEht - September 26, 2011
Rough inning there. Lee at 50 pitches through 3
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Only 2Ks for Lee and they both just happened.
We can’t let him “settle in”
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
At this point, he only has 25 pitches left before getting pulled (probably after the fifth, but still)…
-C
cthabeerman - September 26, 2011
I think, like Joe and Glavine said,
that he’s going to pitch as long as he wants to
leedawg - September 26, 2011
That's fine...
because they don’t have any control over it. The Philly pitching coach said 75, unless someone’s lying to me.
-C
cthabeerman - September 26, 2011
it was the impression they got from talking to the Philly people it sounded like
leedawg - September 26, 2011
ok, Cliff Lee
you’re back to form, go take yourself out of the game now
LEastCoastBears - September 26, 2011
Cliff Lee already at 50 pitches through 3 innings. I like where this is going.
AmgineRmEht - September 26, 2011
It would be fantastic if Cliff Lee got knocked out after the 4th, then the Phillies have to burn their bullpen early, when they were already planning on pitching a Bullpen Committee Game for Wednesday.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
Well crap
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
is mlb.tv taking a dump for anyone else?
SouthernPanther - September 26, 2011
mine is fine.
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
mine keeps loading the advertisement
and then just stops loading when the game comes back on….wtf
SouthernPanther - September 26, 2011
Whatever happens, we're going to have to pitch our way through this.
can’t expect to knock cliff lee around every inning, or their really good bullpen.
walknbalk - September 26, 2011
Really good bullpen?
Undocorkscrew - September 26, 2011
My thoughts exactly
Bullpen has been iffy at best lately.
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
Hopefully with the starters being on pitch counts we’ll get to the pen early. They will be using top relievers too.
StapleGun - September 26, 2011
Alright pretend like we scored there RD
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Lol this.
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
So. Many. Comments.
BeatTehMets - September 26, 2011
Active Game Thread this evening. Wonder why?
DolphinNation - September 26, 2011
The Phillies always draw a large crowd
thenightstallion - September 26, 2011
Not to mention the circumstances
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Thanks for not getting the jokes we were both clearly making
thenightstallion - September 26, 2011
Sarcasm
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Is this game important for some reason?
BeatTehMets - September 26, 2011
Yes. If the Phillies win, they will become just the 3rd Phillies team to win 100.

BeatTehMets - September 26, 2011
Long time lurker
Figured I’d change things up and see if I could help the team.
Classic17 - September 26, 2011
Welcome!! So far, so good. However, if they start to get beat, you’re banned forever. ;)
DolphinNation - September 26, 2011
Anything for the team.
Classic17 - September 26, 2011
We aren’t as bad as we seem. I lurked for a long time before posting, now I consider myself a happy, well-adjusted member of TC.
GumpBrave - September 26, 2011
Very true,
but we still hate you.DolphinNation - September 26, 2011
"Well-adjusted member of TC"
An oxymoron if I ever heard one….
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
Well-adjusted to TC
BeatTehMets - September 26, 2011
So….well-adjusted to not being very well-adjusted?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
It’s all about context I suppose.
GumpBrave - September 26, 2011
My superstition brought me here. We always seem to win games when I’m on the thread. Do I really believe in that stuff? Not really. But now isn’t the time to mess around…
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011

SuperHeyward - September 26, 2011
Nice coverage of 1st there by RD
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
Delgado needs to learn to locate his off-speed stuff
That’s the reason for the lack of K’s, but he’s looking great otherwise.
Undocorkscrew - September 26, 2011
Who got bumfuzzled?
GumpBrave - September 26, 2011
If you knew the real definition of that, you’d be asking who didn’t

I imagined Joe using Snoopy Dog voice.

I know his name isn’t Snoopy Dog….typo

MLB Network just cut out from the Braves
To show the Red Sox. I’m angry.

But hopefully not surprised.

And now back
What the what?
VolnVA - September 26, 2011
Welcome to the club! Pissed, aren’t ya?
DolphinNation - September 26, 2011
in the last week yahoo has ran 4 main page stories about the red sox collapse
and none for the braves. irritating but kind of nice not having it in my face all day
Stephen M - September 26, 2011
Yea I like the Red Sox collapse taking the brunt of the scrutiny from us, even though both collapses were almost identical.
StapleGun - September 26, 2011
There’s actually got to .5 games, and if they complete the fall, it would allow a divisional rival to go to the playoffs.
I completely understand why it gets more attention.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
Oh good lord,

Wow. If Fredi pulls him, I will go ballistic.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
+100000
DolphinNation - September 26, 2011
If he pulls him for Linebrink, yes
pbrfan - September 26, 2011
If he pulls him for any lesser pitcher…which unless he brings in O’Ventebral, it will be.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011

I’m not worried about that run. Let’s get this 3rd out and get out of here.

leedawg - September 26, 2011
Heyward would've caught that
joshant - September 26, 2011
He certainly would have come closer, but I doubt anyone catches that ball.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
he would have had a Jeter-esque moment
catching it and flipping into the stands… He would then lead off the bottom of the 4th with a grand slam
leedawg - September 26, 2011
righhhhht.

SuperHeyward - September 26, 2011
Delgado at 72 pitches/
Who is available to do long relief tonight?
sidbreamsstache - September 26, 2011
C-mart/vizzy/varvaro?
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
Minor?
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
C-Mart pitched 2 innings yesterday. He's not available more than likely.
AmgineRmEht - September 26, 2011
Ah
Still, we have options other than Linebrink.
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
Medlen.
nypeach83 - September 26, 2011
Not true.
thenightstallion - September 26, 2011
Soooo…are you as mad as I am that we can’t watch this? LOL
DolphinNation - September 26, 2011
The Ghost of Oscar Villareal
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - September 26, 2011
Linebrink?
Aaron Meier - September 26, 2011
Every member of the bullpen should be prepared to go multiple innings with the lead. The fact that Linebrink was warming is utterly bizarre to me. Off the top of my head, he’s the 5th or 6th best option out of the bullpen.
pbrfan - September 26, 2011
Kimbrel
Venters
O’Flaherty
Sherrill (for lefties)
Varvaro (for righties)
Martinez/Medlen
Vizcaino
So if you need 1 out, Linebrink is actually the 9th best option
pbrfan - September 26, 2011
GREAT work by Delgado to get out of that with the lead
A rookie with veteran poise. He belongs in the postseason.
AmgineRmEht - September 26, 2011
This
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
Concurred.
nypeach83 - September 26, 2011

biggjoe404 - September 26, 2011

wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Holliday with a double.

C’mon FF
HEYJUDE - September 26, 2011

justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
I can't decide if I want to find the online feed or not.
I’m not sure I have the stomach to watch.
Classic17 - September 26, 2011
Is Freddie the most versatile hitter on the team?
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
When playing well, I’ll go with Prado.
DolphinNation - September 26, 2011
Prado doesn’t walk though. He slaps and can occasionally turn on a ball.
Freddie can hit to all fields, hit for avg, hit for power and take a walk.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
I have the most confidence in him with an 0-2 count
thenightstallion - September 26, 2011
I have a good bit of confidence in Sea Bass with an 0-2 count…..and Diaz. They both seem to get a lot of big hits in that count.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
If he can cut down on the Ks next year, pure awesome.
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
I’d say so. Love to see him using both sides…
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
yep!

mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
Good patience Fredi. Don't miss the fastball coming
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Prediction:
Delgado will pitch until he gets back to Howard in the lineup, then Sherrill will pitch to Howard, Dicktorino, and Ibanez
leedawg - September 26, 2011
Makes too much sense. But he can’t pitch to Victorino if Howard gets on.
pbrfan - September 26, 2011

delicious_dimes - September 26, 2011
That has to increase our chances, right?
Classic17 - September 26, 2011
Is that because
they will be high on Blue Magic?
Aaron Meier - September 26, 2011
lol nah his badassness will rub off on them
unreel20 - September 26, 2011
We’re getting hittable pitches, just missing.
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
That's Lee's MO, I think.
Classic17 - September 26, 2011
It is, indeed.
Cliff Lee is a strike throwing machine. He just locates them well to cut down on solid contact.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
63rd pitch for Lee coming up.....
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
He's leading off the next inning....
Classic17 - September 26, 2011
Ok mac
Lee just threw you a 92 mph fastball straight down the middle… and you fouled it. C’mon man, get it together.
As I type this it happened again.
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
That’s ok… he’s having a good AB.
delicious_dimes - September 26, 2011
Swing is way off
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
He's gotta be hurt.
He’s just gotta be
thenightstallion - September 26, 2011
His body looks out of sorts in his swing. Too busy, falling all over the place.
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
That’s his M.O. lately.
Aaron Meier - September 26, 2011
Why did Bucknor look at Mac’s face after the check swing? Strange
pbrfan - September 26, 2011
Noticed that.
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
I think he was looking at the bat for some reason.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
I think he was trying to judge his reaction to see if he knew he swung or not.
pbrfan - September 26, 2011
7 straight for Lee. Not good
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Can only throw 10 more if we can believe the 75 pitch count.
sidbreamsstache - September 26, 2011
If you bought that
I’ve got a bridge I’d like to sell you….
thenightstallion - September 26, 2011
I could use a good bridge…
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
If you are in Memphis
I can sell you one shaped like an M
thenightstallion - September 26, 2011
I think that’s a bit of a ruse.
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
agreed
though I would love to see a pinch hitter lead off the 5th
leedawg - September 26, 2011
well looks like he's only gonna go 5
Stephen M - September 26, 2011
A pop up.... from a Brave???? Certainly not!!!!
SuperHeyward - September 26, 2011
lol Heavens forbid!
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
65 pitches through 3.2
AmgineRmEht - September 26, 2011
this should be his last inning according to ajc hes on 75 pitch limit
unreel20 - September 26, 2011
I should be studying for law school, but this game is too important.
Chipper Pwns - September 26, 2011
That's what I like to hear
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
You're a great man
thenightstallion - September 26, 2011
I'm supposed to be writing a cover letter.
Classic17 - September 26, 2011
Trust me, this game is more important than torts
JCal - September 26, 2011
Great role model
Grey Rider - September 26, 2011 via mobile
RD has not been getting that call
SuperHeyward - September 26, 2011
lets go super D
Grey Rider - September 26, 2011 via mobile
This would be a great time for Cptn. Caveman's first HR of the year.
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
wow ouchhh
unreel20 - September 26, 2011
Robbed.
nypeach83 - September 26, 2011
Polanco just pulled a Zimmerman.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
did he rob Cptn. caveman of a HR?
If so, Imma have to smack him.
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
From 3rd base?
Aaron Meier - September 26, 2011
Huh??
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Nvmd. Forgot what position Polonco played
Move right along….
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
I hate the Phillies
SuperHeyward - September 26, 2011
Ughhhhhh Polanco
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Wandy gets out of a jam.
Middle of the 2nd in Houston, 0-0.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - September 26, 2011
37 pitches. One of the worst bullpens in baseball unfortunately.
pbrfan - September 26, 2011
wow.
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
Lee's already at 69 pitches through 4
He may already be done if he’s on a 75-pitch limit
AmgineRmEht - September 26, 2011
Wow MatyD robbed
HEYJUDE - September 26, 2011
Hey HeyJude!
abraves257 - September 26, 2011
Just….wow.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
Ugh our luck...
Of course he caught that.
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
Still 0-0 in Houston.
Astros up.
nypeach83 - September 26, 2011
Bottom 2
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Ugh
Aaron Meier - September 26, 2011
Gameday actually behind the streaming radio tonight. Weird.
UMDBHIK - September 26, 2011
On MLBN earlier, someone mentioned that Lee was on a 75 pitch leash tonight.
Anyone else heard that?
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - September 26, 2011
Apparently it's legit.
AJC reported the same.
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
5th and final for RD?
SuperHeyward - September 26, 2011
Cardinals blow 1st and 2nd with 1 out
Still 0-0 going into BOT 2
AmgineRmEht - September 26, 2011
come on pinch hitter...........
leedawg - September 26, 2011
Anyone know what the team BABIP has been this month? I bet it’s under .280
UMDBHIK - September 26, 2011
Ok…switching to the mlb.tv on the computer now…MNF is about to start.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
I need the Cowgirls defense to get me 7 points or else I lose for the week.
Ivan the Great - September 26, 2011
I need like 20 points from Davis. lol
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
I think they'll let Lee pitch the 5th..
Give him a chance to pick up the W. He is a Cy Young candidate…
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
Yep
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
And alllllmost hit a homer.
Whew.
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
If Kershaw doesn't win it
it’s a total injustice
thenightstallion - September 26, 2011
Agreed…
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
this
leedawg - September 26, 2011
but kershaw doesnt pitch for the phillies
thats one of the rules right?
Stephen M - September 26, 2011
I thought they were giving Verlander both Cy Youngs this year
Classic17 - September 26, 2011
if i had to guess he'll go out for the 5th and if he stays out of trouble will finish the inning
lets cause some trouble though
Stephen M - September 26, 2011
Alright Randall get a quick inning
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Wow…are you kidding?
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
Lee is still batting
and almost hit one out
LEastCoastBears - September 26, 2011
Wow Prado scares me out there. Way to hold on.
delicious_dimes - September 26, 2011
whew
leedawg - September 26, 2011
Good catch Prado!
HEYJUDE - September 26, 2011
All star play.
Warrior!
Grey Rider - September 26, 2011 via mobile
Good play Martin. Ball really jumping
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
And they wasted an AB of Lee....
I’m ok with that, as long as they pull him in the middle of the bottom half of the inning. Of course, if Fredi were managing the Phillies, he’d be replaced going into the bottom half.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
At least Proctor isn’t here to replace him with anymore
Sky Hawk - September 26, 2011
Welp
Ivan the Great - September 26, 2011
damn it
LEastCoastBears - September 26, 2011
son of a........
leedawg - September 26, 2011
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Fuck. Rollins HR… 2-2.
delicious_dimes - September 26, 2011
focking shiet.
walknbalk - September 26, 2011
I hate Jimmy Rollins....
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
Screw off J-Roll.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - September 26, 2011
WTFFFFFFFFFUUUUU???
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
There ya go. Of course.
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
second time through the order.
Grey Rider - September 26, 2011 via mobile
The ball is flying out tonight.
AmgineRmEht - September 26, 2011
Going to have to score 3 at least tonight. Offense have it in ’em?
UMDBHIK - September 26, 2011
Lee is likely going to go only one more inning
And then it’s 4 innings against the bullpen
AmgineRmEht - September 26, 2011
Damn.
nypeach83 - September 26, 2011
Shit
Aaron Meier - September 26, 2011
Randall, you probably want to keep the ball down so that that doesn’t happen anymore.
Ivan the Great - September 26, 2011
We're ok here
Get thru the 5th please?
biggjoe404 - September 26, 2011
2 runs was never gonna be enough
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
And we have to stop scoring a run or two and stopping.
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
K I’m jinxing us….be back later.
DolphinNation - September 26, 2011
running away, eh?
abraves257 - September 26, 2011
So the key is to not hit it on the ground tonight eh?
It’s carrying for them, they do a little spring jump and catch all of ours.
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
Nice play Dan.
delicious_dimes - September 26, 2011
1 more out....
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
Damn, that took the air out of me...
Womp
TheMelkHasSpoiled - September 26, 2011
I'd almost rather that happen than him get on and start a rally.
Aaron Meier - September 26, 2011
Home runs are rally killers
pbrfan - September 26, 2011
Screw the Phillies
Seriously, I am not an angry person but I have so much disdain for everything about them. Infuriating
BravesDawg16 - September 26, 2011
heyward would've caught that
joshant - September 26, 2011
Frenchy definitely does
thenightstallion - September 26, 2011
Get your man Randall
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
that was a strike
leedawg - September 26, 2011
Jimmy Rollins' first home run since August 17
AmgineRmEht - September 26, 2011
Naturally
BravesDawg16 - September 26, 2011
okay, let's get the lead back
Come on Braves
LEastCoastBears - September 26, 2011
Silver Lining
He didn’t throw a lot of pitches
AmgineRmEht - September 26, 2011
Alright… let’s get the lead back now. At least that wasn’t too many pitches for Randall.
delicious_dimes - September 26, 2011
He's probably done. Spot due 2nd
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
this
2 lefties up in the 6th… perfect spot for sherrill
leedawg - September 26, 2011
Ah
Good call
delicious_dimes - September 26, 2011
Good to see him settle down..
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
That was the quick inning that RD needed
JCal - September 26, 2011
GET SOME F-ING RUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SuperHeyward - September 26, 2011
Alright RD
Fredi better not pull him after 82 pitches
BravesDawg16 - September 26, 2011
ummm i think he should actually
SuperHeyward - September 26, 2011
You know he’s gonna.
Ivan the Great - September 26, 2011
I think we should PH. His spot is due and they've adjusted
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
this
Aaron Meier - September 26, 2011
it’s gonna happen.
thenightstallion - September 26, 2011
He should pull him
Especially w/ Christhian in the ’pen
Sky Hawk - September 26, 2011
Randall Delgado fields a comebacker off the bat of Tallahassee for the final out.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - September 26, 2011
CMart warming up.
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
Can we get a runz thread?
Beachy Keen - September 26, 2011
Runs runs runs !!!!!!!!!!!
cali viking - September 26, 2011
Kids hangin tough!
Grey Rider - September 26, 2011 via mobile
NKOTB! Good times.
nypeach83 - September 26, 2011
Nobody thought it’d be easy. Gotta climb that hill Bravos
GumpBrave - September 26, 2011
Runz please
Probably Lee’s last inning of the regular season. Don’t make it good for him.
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
RD is done. Let's get him a chance at the win here
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
We can get him a WIN if we score some RUNS here.
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
I like how you all caps'd the words we don't understand
thenightstallion - September 26, 2011
;-)
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
Yep, that’s it for Randall. Come on runs people.
delicious_dimes - September 26, 2011
For all my fellow football fans
Faith Hill > Charlie Daniels Jr.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
Agreed.
That starting already or in 15?
delicious_dimes - September 26, 2011
Just started.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
just kicked off
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
Loved her opening last night.
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
I can’t even get to where I focus on what she sings or what it sounds like…
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-MEN!!!!
thenightstallion - September 26, 2011
wow.....
Hank Williams Jr
leedawg - September 26, 2011
Oh my…that’s what I get for doing 5 things at once.
That’s worse than “There’s” from earlier.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
Georgie will PH
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
No JeyHey? WTF Freddi?
JCal - September 26, 2011
He doesn’t believe in lefty-lefty matchups
Sky Hawk - September 26, 2011
Constanza is LHB. Ross should have been the guy there but I can’t remember the last time he PH’d.
pbrfan - September 26, 2011
If McCann gets hurt, who plays C?
This is the same reason why you never see an OFer PH or an IF – because if the starter gets hurt, then nobody else can fill in there.
It’s against the rules of baseball.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
That Bosco kid (or something like that) I think plays a little catcher
pbrfan - September 26, 2011
Didn't they call up Boscan for just this very reason?
UMDBHIK - September 26, 2011
Fredi does not understand your logic.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
I don’t totally mind that. Save J-Hey for an impact PH hopefully against a righty.
GumpBrave - September 26, 2011
Impact PH? Bottom of the 9th, down 1, bases loaded? GIDP?
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
Jason Heyward is trending in the right direction, you can’t assume that
GumpBrave - September 26, 2011
He has one of the lowest GDP rates on the team
pbrfan - September 26, 2011
Delgado is done for the night.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
Screw you Bucknor
biggjoe404 - September 26, 2011
Lee is coasting now
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Lee feeling his oats and the possibility of a win now...
…ugh.
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
Pujols with a double
Runners on 2nd and 3rd. Two out.
nypeach83 - September 26, 2011
well so much for the 75 pitch count
unreel20 - September 26, 2011
Amazingly, Constanza still almost beat that out.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
Cardinals have 2nd and 3rd with 2 out
Holliday up
AmgineRmEht - September 26, 2011
Damn you Polanco just fall down!!!!
SuperHeyward - September 26, 2011
Nice 1 pitch out. Apparently we want Lee to go 7
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
I’ll bet he goes 7
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
If he can go as long as he wants
My guess is 8 or 9
thenightstallion - September 26, 2011
…….with a pitch count of 120. Yep. Charlie would do that to us.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
“Well, shoo, I was just tryin’ to maintain the integgirty of the game!”
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - September 26, 2011
Randall could've seen at least 3 pitches
joshant - September 26, 2011
Do they want 100 wins more than we want the WC?
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
Cards threatening...2nd and 3rd with 2 out.
Aaron Meier - September 26, 2011 via mobile
1-0 Cards.
Got the third out, though.
nypeach83 - September 26, 2011
Cardinals take the lead 1-0 but Pujols thrown out at the plate.
delicious_dimes - September 26, 2011
bourn and mac lost at the plate
leedawg - September 26, 2011
literally about to say the same thing.
Stephen M - September 26, 2011
Back in sad town
GumpBrave - September 26, 2011
Population: Braves fans.
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
MAKE SOME FUCKING CONTACT!!!!!
SuperHeyward - September 26, 2011
So we go from swinging (and scoring) to taking pitches and sitting down without contact.
Color me confused.
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
Even the crowd has gotten silent.
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
With good reason
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
what is there to get loud about
we’ve done nothing since the 2nd inning
leedawg - September 26, 2011
Cardinals lead 1-0 after 2 and a half
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Cards 1-0, Pujols thrown out at the plate.
Aaron Meier - September 26, 2011 via mobile
Halladay only went 6 yesterday
Lee’s at 78 pitches. They aren’t going to go with him much longer.
AmgineRmEht - September 26, 2011
STL 1, HOU 0 - MID 3
Matt Holliday RBI single. Albert Pujols thrown out at home to end the inning.
AmgineRmEht - September 26, 2011
Cardinals up 1-0, because everyone else is saying it..
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
How many people are going to say what happened in the Cardinals game.....
TheMelkHasSpoiled - September 26, 2011
All of the people.
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
BECAUSE IT MATTERS
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
I motion for WPF to be the only updater
leedawg - September 26, 2011
Second.
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
Seconded
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
Hahahaha – Chip says NO!
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
Fourth'd
Classic17 - September 26, 2011
Why are they showing Heap’s game tying and winning HRs against Houston???
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
No idea… trying to pump us up?
delicious_dimes - September 26, 2011
I’ve got it. They are clearly setting the stage for a Jason Heyward walk-off.
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
Ah
foreshadowing… I feel ya.
delicious_dimes - September 26, 2011
was wondering the same
unreel20 - September 26, 2011
to show how even terrible offenses can beat Houson????
SuperHeyward - September 26, 2011
how i yearn for those days
Stephen M - September 26, 2011
Trying to inspire him imo
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Well if the seasons over, might as well reflect on the good times we’ve shared
thenightstallion - September 26, 2011
ASTROS UP 11455-0. CARDINALS DIED.
TheMelkHasSpoiled - September 26, 2011
Meteor.
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
C Mart to pitch the 6th
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
If our approach can’t win the game despite the fact that we’re constantly trying to swing for the fences anyway…
Ivan the Great - September 26, 2011
i'm surprised that we don't got with Sherill here
LEastCoastBears - September 26, 2011
This.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
C-Mart pitching here could be a mistake
He’s pitched a lot the last 3 days
AmgineRmEht - September 26, 2011
And in to pitch to Howard?
biggjoe404 - September 26, 2011
It worked.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
Results > process!
pbrfan - September 26, 2011
Frediball
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
Thank God
biggjoe404 - September 26, 2011
Against LHP as well. Don’t get it
pbrfan - September 26, 2011
isn't this
Why we have Sherrill?
drumzalicious - September 26, 2011 via mobile
Bleh. Not sure I agree with pulling Delgado here. We need our starters to eat up some innings.
drumzalicious - September 26, 2011 via mobile
lowe will tomorrow
unreel20 - September 26, 2011
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA
justincredubil02 - September 26, 2011
I wish I had faith bordering on delusion.
delicious_dimes - September 26, 2011
Doesn’t matter if they have the rest of the fall and the winter off. Need W’s, one at a time.
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
Hey look we retired Howard
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
Should've had a Subway breakfast flatbread, Ryan!
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - September 26, 2011
Jesus, Pujols was out by 20 feet.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - September 26, 2011
Of course his stays fair.
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
and then I'm all like
“Hey….wha happen?”
Classic17 - September 26, 2011
I was comparing Freeman’s ball that juuuuuust barely went foul down the LF line… to Dick’s that stayed fair down the RF line.
Their luck > ours so far.
NCChopper - September 26, 2011
Their luck ALWAYS > ours
PhillyLuck™
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
Wow
Speedy Victorino.
nypeach83 - September 26, 2011
I hate Victorino so much.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
WHY ARE WE USING MARTINEZ A 3RD STRAIGHT DAY
AmgineRmEht - September 26, 2011
Fucking Victorino. I've got a bad feeling
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
BUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
SOMEONE KO HIM
SuperHeyward - September 26, 2011
Hmm… Fredi
delicious_dimes - September 26, 2011
Sherrill coming in (I assume). Correct decision!
pbrfan - September 26, 2011
In AL WC news...
Baltimore is now tied 2-2 with Boston, still batting in the bottom of the 5th. Rays have taken a 4-2 lead over the Yankees, also in the bottom of the fifth. Tonight could be veeery interesting if those scores hold up.
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
Very interesting since I’m not sure how ties get scored at the end of the season
B4TheFlop - September 26, 2011
Aye, misspoke there.
But even if Boston wins, if the rays also win to keep pace…
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
Predictable.
TennesseeQuackAttack8 - September 26, 2011
And he immediately pulls Martinez.....
Fredi confuses me.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
Have to get a K. Sherrill has a ridiculous K rate against LHB. This is exactly the right decision.
pbrfan - September 26, 2011
No, the confusing part was bringing Martinez in to begin with.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
Agreed. Lead with Sherrill
pbrfan - September 26, 2011
Man, this game is going downhill.
Still tied, we need a K here.
TheMelkHasSpoiled - September 26, 2011
freddi over manageing again
unreel20 - September 26, 2011
Bring in VIZZY!
TheMelkHasSpoiled - September 26, 2011
And yeah,
screw dicktorino.
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
Sherrill time
leedawg - September 26, 2011
Chipper needs to follow through next time. It’s Victorino.
BeatTehMets - September 26, 2011
EOF coming in. Wow
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
I don’t hate it.
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
Nor do I.
But I’m thinking he’s going to bring him back out for the 7th too.

Now I hate it.
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
Meh. Sherrill is perfect right here. Need the K
pbrfan - September 26, 2011
wow EOF in the 6th?
leedawg - September 26, 2011
I don’t understand it at all.
If Fredi was willing to bring in a lefty to face Ibanez, why not just use a lefty to face Howard and Victorino too?
Ivan the Great - September 26, 2011
he was saving EOF for a high leverage situation
this definitely qualifies
LEastCoastBears - September 26, 2011
should have just used EOF in the 6th
and viz in the 7th against the bottom of their order
leedawg - September 26, 2011
Astros have 1st and 3rd with 0 out
But the pitcher is up
AmgineRmEht - September 26, 2011
They will score at least 1. Guaranteed
wpf3211 - September 26, 2011
WTF?
EOF wtf?
Ok, someone in the dugout please replace the batteries in the Fredibot. It’s making even more random decisions than usual.
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
Has Sherrill pitched since being activated?
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
since he was activated today
No he hasn’t.
drumzalicious - September 26, 2011 via mobile
Exactly why I wouldn’t have used him there. Definitely to start the inning, but not with the guy on third…
Kudzu Kid - September 26, 2011
C-Mart coming in was really a head-scratcher
WTF goes through Fredi’s mind, I don’t know

AmgineRmEht - September 26, 2011
Wow. That could be ballgame right there.
UMDBHIK - September 26, 2011
dont say that
supposedly the phillies bullpen has sucked of late and we should be able to get some runs off them
unreel20 - September 26, 2011

I wouldn't say no...
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
Wins are an even more meaningless stat for relievers than they are for starters.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
I'm aware
I just find it kinda odd.
mebravesfan - September 26, 2011
Ok, you want a real explanation for the oddity?
EOF pitches in a lot of high leverage situations (think tie games, late innings), so when he does give up a run (the few times), the team falls behind. When you factor in that the offense has sucked almost all year, they rarely come back from late deficits, so….EOF gets hung with the loss.
EricGreggWasPaidOff - September 26, 2011
STL 1, HOU 1 - BOT 3

If I were the PA guy, I'd so provide it
"Attention Braves country. Ted Turner has just re-purchased the Braves, and is promising what he calls “flabergasting” sized playoff bonuses for everyone on the roster!"

this bullpen looks like when we had players like
Tyler Yates
Manny Acosta
Blaine Boyer

Freeman plays terrible defense.
Scoops don’t matter much at first base.
Also, he has no power.
