Stolen base on a pitch out. Ross dropped the ball on the transfer.
Now they’re intentionally walking Berkman.
This team is looking more and more like a team from the 80s every day.

Today, when there’s any kind of break (between innings, change pitcher etc.), it stays on break. I have to cancel it and then log in all over again. I keep missing parts of innings. If the inning is short enough, it could be back to break again. Fortunately, I have satellite radio, so I’m not missing the action. To sum it up, MLB compucast SUCKS (thanks for teaching me that, McFann)

You guys can post all you want but until Bobby is gone its going to be this year after year. Not fair to the fans or organization that one man (very old washed up man) is holding the Braves back from moving forward.

Glad Schafer is out of the leadoff spot, 3:40 pm, “abwright- maybe he should have thrown it… into center field”
No. Moylan should have held the runner on second, so that he didn’t get such a lead that he could take third without a throw.

“No. Moylan should have held the runner on second, so that he didn’t get such a lead that he could take third without a throw.”
Didn’t we have a pitchout on? A runner going to 3rd is almost dead to rights on that play… if the catcher doesn’t drop the ball.

There’s a big difference in “gifts” and “fundamental baseball”. Moylan was in a generous, gift giving mood today.

I’m so glad that we ran into the Astros when our resident geniuses assured us that they were having more trouble than the Braves scoring runs. Might have been embarrassing otherwise.

And logic is beyond yours, Coach. But it’s ok. We’ll see how the Astros’ ABC baseball strategy pays off this season…
Pretty doggone easy to steal when Moylan is daydreaming on the mound…
abwright

mbatl The pitch out was on Bourn’s steal of second. After the intentional walk to Berkman, Bourn stole third uncontested, I think on the first pitch after the IBB.

abwright, your’re right… my bad…
Hey, on Moylan, the guy has been very good since his first two outings. He still doesn’t have his command back completely. Plus, sometimes pitchers give up runs. Sorry to make excuses, but I think he’ll be okay. Just need a 3-run homer and all will be fine!
abwright

Chipper follows with a line drive to right field.

Ya know, with all the injuries to Chipper (early), Anderson, and with McCann’s vision problem…..makes me think of Lou Brown from Major League 2 right before he had the heart attack in the lockeroom.

Tom O’Hawke– I have not had the problem you describe since the first few days of the season. I know how difficult it is to contact them on phone or email, but give it a try fairly early in the daytime, like tomorrow morning. Also, your broadband connection might well be weak. That has been a problem for me in the past, when DSL modem had issues, or signals from Verizon had problems

Diaz hits a line drive to left. Berkman slips in the outfield. Escobar scores. Chipper to third.
Kotchman to pinch hit for Ross. I guess Sammons will come on in the eighth.

I’d like to add to your post…if I may.
With all the gripping, b&^%hing that goes on….it could be worse. How’d ya all like it if we were Pirates fans? They’ve been worthless since 92. SO I think we have it better than some fans…albeit not good, but better than some.

That 1 out to 2 out hitting with RISP has to do with guys trying to do too much with less than two outs…like hitting a HR. That’s what I think and oh yeah, we need Mac’s butt in that lineup ASAP!!

Are you two having trouble with MLB Video using Nexdef? I have it turned off and haven’t really had any problems at all today.
That said, last year Nexdef was much better.. So, even though the quality isn’t as good with only 4 bars.. Its usually reliable.

The Krotch works the count back from 1-2 to draw a walk. Diaz to second.
Schafer needs to be patient here. He’s gotten bitten by the strike out bug lately and Geary has not been that close to the strike zone.
