The Atlanta Braves Discussion and Collectors Thread

[70Chip]

WOW, I am amazed the Braves bullpen took that big of a turd on the field and gave up 9 earned.

 

[laroche17]

here is what watching that game felt like to me!!!

 

[Penno]

This is HILARIOUS,one of the worst innings ever.

If you thought that was funny, you should have seen the Phillies offense and starters the first two games.

 

[DaleMurphyCollector]

Sometimes Cox's loyalty to certain players drives me INSANE!

It also drives me nuts how when we win the 1st 2 games of a series, he always tinkers with the lineup giving typical non-starters starts. I understamd why he does it, but it drive me batty!

As far as I am concerned, EVERY game vs. Mets, Phillies, Marlins, Nationals are must wins and the A Team needs to be on the field!

I cant imagine it being worse then this.Walking in 4 bases loaded runs(or something like that)

bad new - bullpen blows another one

good news - we still win (and in a one run game no less!)

Offense still looking better than expected (McCann with 3 doubles last night!) but jeez, if the pen keeps giving stuff away FW is gonna have to shake things up sooner than later (Medlen and Hanson into the pen perhaps?)

I was at the game last night, and everyone was absolutely brutal on Blaine, and almost every other bullpen guy. We need help. Bad.

 

[EricInCT]

How many more starts for Tommy Hanson before he gets called up? Any guesses?

One of the doubles was a gift.

gift or not its still a double! at the end of the year no one will even remember that one of those doubles was a "gift"..

Kawakami making his Debut tonight...hope it's as successful as Schafer's was

 

[blitzerlover]

Anyone in here need a Smoltz auto? I have an extra one:

 

[PaulKonerkbro]

What an AB by Schafer....coming back from an 0-2 count to make it full and then double!

Yep...and Kelly Johnson is kicking butt after the slow start

 

[chuckbartowski]

did you see Diaz take a small step back like he was expecting it inside...pretty funny.

 

[chuckbartowski]

Schafer just continues to rake...3 for 4 with 2 doubles tonight.

Yunel raking too...another RBI single for him.

 

[chuckbartowski]

It's pretty obvious that the Braves need to send some of the guys in the bullpen packing...if for no other reason than to send a message to the guys out there. They have been brutal.
