No worries. I was just poking a little fun at our “speed” guys. Agree 100% with your last post.
What’s the story (Steve in OH, you have the data, I am certain) on Matt Young up in Gwinnett? Is he close enough to give a shot?

Wow, then Wright hits one to almost the exact same spot. That little pocket of fans next to the batter’s eye in CF is getting more activity than the Braves and Vazquez would prefer.

Beltran’s hit more homers at Turner Field than anywhere except his home ballparks in Kansas City and NY.
No truth to the rumor he will name his next son Turner Beltran.

as soon murphy led off with a single thats when the pitching coach should get off his butt and call someone in the bullpen.. FOR THE third day in a row.. the braves have a lead by 2 or more and we cant hold a stinkin lead…… great coaching and managing.. sit on ur ass cox and mcdowell.. congrats to the braves coaching staff for another pathetic managing job..

Looks like the 40 or so stolen bases the Rays have this year have really pushed them into first place!
that would be somebody, though certainly not nobody with any sense
buit speed is great in baseball too, as long as the skills are also there to make best use of the tools
But not everyone sees it that way. Some would like to redefine the game to where the use of speed to steal bases is somehow “smaller” than using it as a feature or tool of the offense.

Wouldn’t it be nice if someone on our team could hit a homerun? Too bad. This anemic offense is still anemic. Bobby continues to throw the same guys out there and get the same results. Two hits so far in the game…not going to do. Hope the bats show up sometime soon.

yes because that’s good strategy…He pitches 5 excellent innings, gives up a home run, nobody warming up in the pen because there is no reason to have anyone up, but let’s pull him just in case he might give up the lead…

Wow, a 1 run lead and all of a sudden the Mets have their swagger back. The question for the Mets is not whether they can come back its whether they can hold the lead, right? I know the Braves offense sucks but their pitchers need to know they are able to be picked up sometimes.

Cabravesfan – Yank him before we start losing. Its not a crime to pull a pitcher before giving up the lead. (JEFF321)
well you see Jeffy it takes a bit to warm up a pitcher and Javy was cruising till the wheels fell off in about 6 minutes. But hell, pull him anyway and let the reliever warm up while pitching the game. Why the hell not? Maybe we can start a whole new trend. Sigh.

Then we wouldn’t have to lose again
And wouldn’t it be nice if we ate biscuits
Then our balls would land in the bullpen…
OK…that’s it for the biscuit thing…sorry, it was the only rhyme I could think of on the spot…

What’s worse — two hits off a pitcher whose ERA is close enough to being an admissible SAT score for a football player at Alabama or just being a team composed mostly of spare parts?
I’m watching Ovechkin vs. Crosby instead. At least there’s some mystery as to how that will turn out. With this, there is none. This is a team that should aspire to be .500. It is not a championship caliber team, even with its starting pitching. It just isn’t. And I consider myself an optimistic Braves fan — but all I can think of is Sgt. Highway to his new squad in “Heartbreak Ridge”: “The Marine Corps is looking for a few good men. You ain’t it.”
Maybe they’ll get it turned around. Maybe.
