MLB 6/18 ~ Tommy Hanson's 3rd ML Start ~ 1:10 PM today

[EricInCT]

Hanson is on the mound against the hapless Reds. He has a chance to start the year 2-0 after being bailed out in his first game and winning his second game against the Orioles. I look for a big game from him today and to halt the Brave's losing streak. I am guessing 6-3 or 6-4.

I don't know what you are talking about...they are playing already :?

 

[thefasterblade]

It was raining that's what I'm talking about. The field is wet.

With the Braves OF being this bad, do you think it'd be completely crazy to just bring up Heyward (when he gets back and proves his health)? I mean, it's really bad. They need to make a deal or something.

Yes.

 

[thefasterblade]

I think it's completely crazy to go out there with that OF everyday. I guess Adam Dunn wouldn't have been such a bad signing.

Not to mention Kotchman...

 

[Hallsgator]

I highly doubt the Braves can score 6 runs.

 

[Messier2]

I'm watching now....looking good so far.

Sad, but true.

Brad Mills just finished his first ML inning with his first ML strikeout. Not surprising that it was Ryan Howard.

I have followed Hanson for about 1 1/2 years now and hope he does well, he has so much raw talent... anyways, what is your general opinion of the McLouth signing by Atlanta and how he has done so far?

 

[EricInCT]

I sold a raw Hanson gold last week for $270.....bought a 9.5 BGS orange hanson for 260 yesterday for my sig

Someone has a case of the BBs.

Not so good, Braves need another bat before they can even think about contending. They also need to get rid of Failcouer.

control problems

Marco Scutaro just walked and went to second when none of the Phils were paying attention. Cool play.

 

[thefasterblade]

Nice he got out of it. Got to love the pitcher and Willy Tavares in that situation.

Does anyone realize that Willy Taveras is 1 for 44 in the month? That is an astonishing stat.


Put in Chris Dickerson, he couldn't be any worse!

Lets get some more runs on the board.
