Stop doing that. Seriously. :lol: I think you should start writing about how wonderful other teams are. Starting with the Cardinals.

Corky, yes, our Braves are the slowest team in baseball.

In fact, they just may be the slowest team in the entire history of our Braves dating all the way back to 1966.

KK strikes out Nix on a long at bat. Throws him an inside fast ball that backs up over the plate.

Votto doubles on the first pitch.

Wild pitch moves Votto over to third. One out.

KK needs to “Lowe”r the boom on these guys with some SOs.

A soooofffft liner over KK. Runner holds at third. 2 outs. I don’t think a ball can be hit softer and still be called a line drive.

That HR just snuck over the LF fence just inside the foul pole. Had the wind not been blowing out, it would have been the third out of the inning. Wasn’t a terrible pitch by KK, something high and outside, out of the strike zone.

Bruce only gets 1/2 a HR for that. The wind gets the other half. :D

Encarnacion flies out to right center.

KK really only made one bad pitch in that inning on the double to Votto.

He looked pissed after the HR and took a few pitches to get back into the groove.

Hope the Bravos can remember that Micah Owings is not the best pitcher in the NL.

Steve from OH, 2:18 pm “abwright–he missed his spot badly, though.

On the HR? That may be so, but he missed out of the strike zone and should have gotten an out.

Two strikes on KK on a couple of sucky bunt attempts.
