“Right Shoulder Fatigue.”
I didn’t know that’s what they were calling throwing meat these days.

Braves are 4-2 in their last six games before this one, despite hitting .240 in that stretch and scored two runs or fewer four times (had a 1-0 win and a 2-1 win)

DirtyYuni,
“Right Shoulder Fatigue” is only the name in the National League. In the American League, it’s an “Injured Toe” (Wang of the Yankees).

You know, I’d occasionally like to see the pitch and not that obnoxious camera angle from the Suntrust club.

Got to be an uncomfortable feeling for a corner infielder charging the plate on what they think will be a bunt and the batter pulls the bat back and swings…Make ya grab a handful of grass and pray for a swing and miss…. Or at least hope they hit it the other way.

Yeah, I’d hate to be a 3b having to charge what I thought was a bunt. Furcal used to be the best at showing bunt and then “punching” a hit….I actually saw him “bunt” for a triple once….over the 3rd baseman’s head, and by the time the left fielder got there he was sliding into 3rd.

Ankiel was the only hard hit ball of the inning.
What was up with Kotchman on that cut? Did you see Ross jump up like he was shot when Kotchman cut it? Ross didn’t seem to be a happy camper with the cut.

They’ve not been hit well but the inning was set up by being aggressive on the base paths early in the inning instead of just playing dead there and waiting for the three-run homer that doesn’t come.

Actually, catcher is supposed to make the “cut” call, since that was where the throw was coming. From his reaction, don’t think Ross yelled “cut it.”

I agree brvs1fan. Bloops indicate it probably won’t keep up and he can give us a few more innings. Hard hit balls indicate it might be time for the showers.

While Kotchman has no HRs, his 9 doubles is one off of the MLB leading total of 10 — so he isn’t just a singles hitter.

The bigger question is what are the Braves and Cox thinking putting a power hitter Chipper in front of singles/doubles hitter. Most managers in little league know better, but not the Braves.
