Rob in Mobile, 8:20 pm, “abwright, Fowler is the Rockies number one prospect. He’s not going anywhere….
After all of the “trade young pitching for aging ball players” talk, I thought I’d throw out a “trade young pitching for dynamic young talent” post. Just wishful thinking on my part.

You fellas betta lay offa my honey, Jeffy Baby. Of coourse he is a miserable hitter look who his hitting coach is, the master batsman, Terry Pendleton. Just rememba, its so much mora important to be a handsome likeable guy that to be a good playa.
My goodness how the average Atlanta fan just cannot get enough of my Jeffy Baby. It is even hard for me to believe how gullible and stupid those fans ara. Just keep the money comin’ honey, just lovin’ the $3.5 mil this yea.
By the by, who is this Chino and why is he always singin’ about his FUPA?

I consider myself to be more of an optimistic fan of the braves, even picking them to win the division this year. With that said, I think two things can be made of tonight’s game thus far. KJ can thrive lower in the lineup and Frenchy can thrive on the pine or with a change of scenery. I think Frenchy is a great guy and a good face for the hometown team, but his abilities have diminished severely over such a short period of time. His talent, or lack thereof, is wearing thin on all of our patience at this point.

So Chip was talking about pitching around Barmes with the pitcher on deck. JJ goes aggressively after Barmes and strikes him out on three pitches to strand Iannetta at third and pick up Mac for the throw into the runner.
I don’t mind announcers strategizing. But, Geez, at least react to what’s going on in the actual game.

Nice play by Kotchman and Jurrjens to retire Helton. Ball ricocheted off Krotch’s chest away form the bag. He stuck with it and fed to Jurrjens who stayed with the play and covered first.
