jo jo looks pretty good
maybe with a good team behind him that could score some runs, he would be a winning pitcher

Jo-Jo looks very good, people! No complaints at all from me in that 1st. Hopefully he doesn’t get JJ’d and get no run support. Here we go…OWWWW, my hand!

There’s your ballgame people. The putrid Braves offense won’t be able to crawl out of this one. Is it me, or is Chipper slowing down a little on the defense? MUAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHA

Jo-jo is looking good today, just had some bad luck on that inning. By the way Joe Simpson is calling Jo-jo Reyes 92mph a changeup.

More of the same sh!t. Give up a run in the first on a free pass to get behind early… and ground into a double-play in the bottom half of the inning.
propp

you know if the braves only got runs by hitting into double plays…the offense would be better

It sure would be nice not to be so predictable every once in awhile and hit and run with runners on base and a contact hitter at the plate and a 2-1count. I mean we’re not hitting and why not open up the infield.

The Braves are an average team at best, and I love the Braves; but, they are average. In fact with proper coordination, I would pay all takers $1 for every game over .500 if I could have the same for each game below in the final standings. That are totally unremarkable, little speed, little power, they are not an especially smart team (like the Cardinals), the SP is average, the bullpen is average at best, and the fielding is average at best because of the lack of speed. In short, the Braves do not have the talent to be much above .500 at the end of the year. This will be proven to be a fact in about five months.

none of the braves hitters have any patience whatsoever.. no one wants to learn from chipper.. leadoff single chipper walks and we hit into a DP with the count 3-1.. and kotchman swung totally at ball 4. and same thing last night.. escobar no patience whatsoever in the 8th inning ..and we give a free run again.. moylan walks the pitcher pinero and he scores the winning run.. and we hit rasmus and walk pujols and then molina hits him in.. yet the braves cant do jack when they have those opportunities..

Kotchman SUX. Last night in the eighth inning and tonight in the first when Chipper walked it was if he made an out because you just knew Kotchman would not be able to come through. Kotchman in the cleanup spot is another Cox genius move.

so the braves either get two on and two out with the pitchers spot up, or one on and one out and hit into a double play. thats the story of the past few games
