The Atlanta Braves (thread 1)

It's going to be a travesty if Tommy Hanson gets a loss today.

I agree.

If he can continue to improve that changeup to go along with a plus fastball and plus plus curve he will win alot of games for you guys.

Loving the New Balance tennis shoes with cleats on the bottom Ankiel is rockin...

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Wow. Largest 3 game total attendence in the short history of GABP. That's awesome.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

And now the fun beings with Cordero in the 9th...

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

I'm not sure why they keep saying it would be such a travesty if Volquez gets the W. It's not like he gave up 12 hits and rockets were hit everywhere. He simply made pitches we he needed too.

5 BBs 6 Ks. That needs to not happen anymore haha.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Very surprised he is taking Hanson out. He has owned Votto today and he is still very much in line for a win with Cordero coming in next inning...

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

His mechanics are all fouled up. Arm dragging behind his body every pitch. Once he fixes that he is going to be real tough.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Wow. Nice AB.

God that kid can run the bases.

I don't disagree but that absolutely cannot happen, that's on the Reds OF's nothing more.

He does that once a series. Its on the OF'ers for loafing after the ball, but after he tiptoed over to get it, I doubt that a perfect throw gets him.

In defense of the outfielder, the ball wasn't hit very hard and it was over in the gap. Plus, there's no way he could have expected Heyward to even be thinking about taking the extra base with 2 outs.

Great instincts for sure but the loafing is asinine in a 1 run game.

It's s 1 run game and OrangeWilly said he does it once a series. Surely the coaches let that be known prior to the series. Perhaps not...

 

[OrangeWilly]

This is the type of game that the Braves were winning in the first half. Really hurts that Prado can't play.

I'm afraid we could see a lot more losses like this one over the next two weeks...one run games....SOB!

 

[OrangeWilly]

Good news is the Mets are getting hammered and the Nats and Phils are tied up.

 

[005]

Daniel Hudson showed his stuff a little bit against the Mets.

Jon Niese... did not.

 

[OrangeWilly]

Phils have a one run lead in the 11th...Not good.

 

[005]

2 run lead. Colin Balester was feeling generous today.

 

[OrangeWilly]

Well boys its a 2.5 game lead on Aug 1st...Its going to be very interesting.

 

[jwells]

ugh

Well, Howard did get hurt in the Phillies win...

Big series against the Mets, lets get back on track!

 

[Mini Me]

Update: Escobar is batting .323 with 3 hrs since joining the Blue Jays...

 

[NYYVol]

I really hope the Braves can hold on, mostly because of Bobby's last year and all, but I just don't see anyway they can.

This team has serious flaws and should have taken on water a long time ago.

Hope they prove me wrong, though.
