yeah, realistically, though, we could have a pretty decent winning record if the offense had been there.
I’m pretty sure a lot of these unforgettable pitching contests could have been turned into wins if, once again, the offense would have been there.
I agree.

Jo Jo and Kawakami are a combined 1-13 in their last 14 starts. What is going on with Bobby and Wren? The last game I watch Kawakami pitch against the Mets the announcers were stunned at how slow KKs curve was. He will never get anyone out at this level with a mediocre fastball and that Eddie Harris Vaseline curve ball he has. $8 million a year and we got this guy for another 95 plus starts. I want to throw up all over Frank Wrens pocket so every time he has to reach in to get money out he will feel the pain and disgust Liberty Media Group feels when they Pay this guy $308,000 every 1st and 15th of the month. Frank Wren and Isaiah Thomas are from the same school of GMs. It took a sexual harassment case to get Isaiah out of town. I hope we won’t need that much to get birdman to hit the road and go back to Birdland, Maryland.

Braveheart,
Maybe the KK situation would not be so bad if this team would have hit a little more and our record was something like 16-11. That would help. And he would have not lost so many games.

Did anyone Really believe we were going to win tonight with Jo Jo on the mound? I know that I knew we weren’t. Thats why I didn’t watch. Keeps the blood pressure down when I knew it was a gimme game to the philthies. Tomorrow should be much better.

Hanson will continue to push the Braves for a spot in the ML rotation with his performance. Medlin, though, has been just as hot and also deserves a shot. Morton is also reestablishing himself. There are 3 options if Jo Jo can’t improve and KK has to go to the DL.

CharlieAlphaBravo — I just went and watched the replay of Hamels’ dribbler. You’re right — the ball does change direction and it looks like it hits his left foot. You can see it most clearly from the angle of the camera on the 3rd base line in the upper deck. Good call. Jo-Jo should’ve thrown his arms up, started yelling and pointing at Hamels’ foot. At the very least, let it go foul.

I wonder, then, what the alternative is if Kawakami continues to falter? They couldn’t just release him cuz they would still owe him the money, right?

Necromancer, in hindsight, I’m sure the Braves privately regret the Kawakami signing. Looking at it now, it’s clear we would’ve been better off using that $8-9/year (don’t have the exact figure in front of me) on a legit LF bat. But you have to recall the situation at the time. We had not yet signed Derek Lowe so there were gaps in the starting rotation. Furthermore, I don’t think they had anyway of knowing that Hanson, Medlen and Reyes would be so successful in spring training (not to mention Morton’s fantastic start this season at Gwinnett). If they had passed on Kawakami and then missed out on Lowe, they would’ve really been in a bind filling out the rotation. They would’ve likely been forced to open the season with at least two of the youngsters in the starting rotation with no fallback plan in case they failed.

Hmm…so, if Lowe had been landed first by the Bravos, then we probably never would have fooled with Kawakami, then, I guess…
But now, we have at least 2 weak links in the rotation, Jo Jo and the aforementioned Kawakami. I’m just glad the decision making process isnt on me.

I’ve said this once and I’ll say it again about Tim Hudson. He has a very unique situation in his contract. There is a club option for 2010 at 12M however Tim has the ability to void the club option. This creates a funky situation. If the Braves are out of it say 10+ games by the end of July why would they want to start Tim that early. They would be better off if they rehabbed him until late August and only had him start 6-7 games. That way the sample size on his health would be limited and the Braves would be the only true team to be completely briefed on his health. This would eliminate the idiot Yankees and spend happy red sox from offering a kawakami style blind bid @ 3yr/30M. At just 6-7 starts to evaluate that is much riskier versus 13-15 starts.

As I said before…….KK is not a bad 4th starter………he is just that……….4th…………He is not supposed to win 20 games……… he is supposed to go something like 12-10 ( in a championship team), which he still can do………I think he is not the problem, If he was the problem, vazquez, JJJ and Lowe woulds be something like 10-3 added up, and they are far from it.

My friend, Im sorry to tell you that after 5 starts, he looks as an upgrade to James………. dont even need to think for a split second.
I would take any day 5 and 6 IP and 2-3 ER out of my 4th starter…………Maybe he could have stayed further in the game if our powerful lineup was not to be shut down and our defense letting pitching down.
When he exits game 1 he was ahead………….when he exits game 3 the game was tied. Both games lost 3-4. Hey if your offense is not scoring theres nothing you can do.

go to the continental AND have the BIG BANG breakfast this morning.
the pancakes and the two eggs thing is off the charts.
it will wipe away all the i-95 traffic.
when we flew in to philly last week we stood around for at least 30 minutes waiting for our luggage to arrive.
in that time i noticed a guy who was somewhat reconizable.
it was BRUCE BENNEDICT. the ex braves catcher, he is now a sec basketball official. we chatted about him and tommy lasorda’s comment about him and pregnant women finishing thrid in a race.
great guy. we talked about the 82 team, the rainout when they were up.
talked about claudell, knucksie and the murph.
very grounded guy. looked like he could still play.
asked him about i-285 pascual perez, all he said was no comment.
he loved joe torre and bobby cox, same guy.

We can analyze this team to death, but it all comes down to this:
1) Starting pitching has been above average…Great sign, but Kawa./Reyes are costing us games which hurts, especially when the offense happens to show up for that game.
2) Pen has been average to above average…Good sign but health ?’s still remain with the three big boys
3) Offense has a huge spark with Mac back, but still don’t get on enough…needs to improve
4) Defense has been shakey in ‘09 for some reason and needs to improve…has probably cost us a few games already, including tonight
5) Management is stubborn and grows man crushes on guys when showing them the door is neccessary…TP really stands out in my mind here since I don’t think it’s a coiencedence that our hitters are about as streaky as a group of hitters can be. Not chewing guys out when game after game they make the same bone-headed mistakes makes me think guys are too pampered, really stands out to me too.
Hopefully things kinda work themselves out for this team throughout the long season.

Agree w/you Doc. KK has been what he is: a 4th starter. He had one AWFUL start, but aside from that, he’s given his team a chance to win his other four starts. Sure, he needs to show better command and be more economical with his pitches, but he’s been a solid fourth starter other than that one horrible outing @ Cincy. Of course, he had to get a cortisone shot in his shoulder the day after that start.

After reading countless posts and thinking all sorts of different scenarios, why not do this:
Send Parr back to AAA, move JoJo to the pen as a lefty specialist (check his numbers v LHH, they’re outstanding), and bring up Medlen if they’re so worried about starting Hanson’s clock…would still rather see Hanson, but I will never discount what Kris Medlen has done so far…
At this point, someone else deserves a shot to get the ball come Wed. as I feel they’ve given JoJo every opportunity and while he’s had some good pitching performances, he follows those up by falling on his face in the next 3-4 starts after that.
Hope tomorrow goes better, but the game tonight proved why we’re where we are and why the Phillies are where they are!

Tied for 3rd fewest amount of HR ……….that is our of this world………..I mean, this is not that weak a team on paper……….. KJ, Chipper, JF, Mc, GA, CK, yunel…….all capable of at least 15 and some of them 20 -30 HR…………they all are on pace to hit 10 – 15 with some luck.
Dr. Van Nostren
May 9th, 2009
1:45 am
Braveheart, I think we’re better off if Francoeur sacrifices a little power to shorten his swing and reach base more consistently. I’d rather see him hit .285 with 20 HR and 100 RBI than .255 with 28-30 HR and fewer RBI. I think his power will come as he gets used to his new stance and approach at the plate. If you’re expecting 30 HR, you’ll be disappointed, but I really think he’ll end up with around 20 HR by season’s end.
P-Town Brave
May 9th, 2009

BH-
Thats because Terry Pendleton’s theory was to turn him into a punch and judy singles, hit for average player…
I keep saying that I would rather Jeff hit .260 and have 30 HR than .290 w/ 12-15.
Also, I heard the guys talking on BT about how the D-Backs fired their manager and hitting coach partly because the talent they brought up through the system in 07 was supposed to produce largely, BUT they have all seemed to regress over time…
Sound familiar (ie Kelly, Yunel, Jeff, among others)

again, the only problem with bringing Medlen up is that he has been a reliever for most of his career- I am not sure he would be capable of pitching more then 5 innings at a time right now…I would rather have him pitch a (mostly) full season in AAA and call him up in September then risk an arm issue because he isn’t “streched out” as they say- we can always call up Charlie Morton if need be (and weither you like him or not, Glavine might be the best option- we won’t know until he tries)
a643dp
May 9th, 2009

It is getting better with Omar playing but Yunel and Frenchy swing at the first pitch is killing us. Jordan cant hit a fastball and after the pitcher that gives us 5 hitters to work the count. Average pitches per at bat is 3.76. Frenchy and Yunel cost the team around a combined 8 pitches a game they dont take vs the average. That could mean the difference between a starter going back out in the 6th or the 7th meaning that the weakest part of a MLB team (the bullpen) is not exposed. This team is not playong team ball. We need hitters that can hit with 2 strikes period no excusses. The fact that they don not take pitches is flat out selfish. Why do you think the Micah Owings of the world love to face us. Also we keep their BP fresh so when they do need to use them they look dominant. Bottom line until we start working counts and getting to the BP we will continue to struggle offensively.

Looking only at HR, I’d project the following: Chipper around 20- maybe low 20s, KJ 15-18 HR, Kotchman 12-14 HR, McCann low 20s, GAnderson 12-15 HR. Plain and simple, this team is going to need to do a much better job of hitting w/men on base. We’ve got plenty of guys who should post solid batting averages, we just need folks to step up w/clutch hits to knock more of those baserunners in.

You might be right, but I think they are walking the secure path…….which is letting him hit for average, make contact, get on base and get his confidence back…………when they achieve that, fully………they can go back to plan A, which is HR and RBI.

like my old man said, “talk is cheap”

cabravesfan- We are seeing the aftermath of Mannyless LA Dodgers. Go Blue. Did you see Bill Plaske on espn? Dude was in tears… Dodgers are good but Manny their fuel.
Doc- We’ve gone 8-15 , lost 3 games in standings. No beast in the East this year.

Lovin McMuffin-
Plaschke is a moron…I stopped reading him years ago. Every once in a while he will write a truly brilliant column, but they have become few and very far between.
Dodgers are good, but they are also lucky they play in such a p*ss poor division

one of the guys in my office was nearly in tears yesterday when the story about Manny broke (of course, it didn’t help that I cracked up every time I read a new story about him and his female fertility drugs
)

Let me guess Bobby – we are only 3 games out right? Yep…. 3 GAMES OUT OF LAST PLACE!!!
The Nats are getting things together and we could easily end up last this year folks.
BOBBY BALL IS BORING AND PLAYED OUT!!!!!!!

I think it’s time to try someone else in the 5th starter spot. Maybe Hanson?

Braveheart is correct, the N.L. East is going to be a dogfight all season long.
The question is, can our Braves hang around long enough to be part of that fight?
We know the Phillies, Mets and Marlins are all in it. They are all within a half game of each other. Those Nationals were finished before the season even started. Our Braves?
Well, lets just say it’s a long slippery slope before September gets here.

while more homeruns would be good braves really need fewer strikeouts and more stolen bases.
TP needs to go….he has not been able to do anything with the batters….look at JS….leads the league in strikeouts.
CK belongs at first….true he has little power, but he has a great strikeout to walk ratio.
KJ belongs in left field with Diaz or Anderson off the bench….trade the other.
BC is too attached to yesterday and not focused on today and tomorrow.
Unfortunately, braves will be living the sins of the fathers for some time…bad trades by JS and bad player assessment by BC….remember the bad moves by BC and JS were when braves had a great pitching rotation which braves no longer has.
