I told You guys that this team only shows up when they play above .500 tams
The Braves are 13-7 against teams that are over .500 this year…
While They are 11-12 against teams that have played less than .500 baseball this year, letting their guard down against the Jubroni teams
Proof that this team comes correct when the play the good teams of the league

18 Wheels of Love: So the Giants, who are looking to add a big bat, desperate to add one, are going to trade Aaron Rowand in a deal that brings Francoeur to San Fran?
I don’t think that’s what they have in mind.

I’ve read this blog often enough to know that the headlive practically guarantees that the Giants will win today. One run ought to do it. You guys should be coming down for the series from the high of playing the Jays. Bye bye Braves

No, I don’t believe Bobby has been thrown out of a game this year. He is the all time record holder. I wonder if he has ever gone this far in a season without getting thrown out of a game.

I’m not watching the game, but is MaCann wearing his glasses when he catches? If not, maybe he’s got some problem seeing the ball coming to him clearly.

Bobby is using psychology on Vazquez. With men on, he has Bennett up in the blow-pen. Javy has to know that those men on base are coming in if he doesn’t get this guy at the plate.

JJ,
Not that I endorse their negative attitudes, but our offense is really crappy. And coming back from a 3 run defecit even against Jonathan Sanchez (who we are currently making look luke Bob Gibson as we frequently do against bad pitchers), is going to be tough.

That inning was disgusting…bet the umps wouldn’t call interference if the batter jumped on top of McCann.
And why in heck did Vaz throw to second? My gosh…they wouldn’t have scored so much if he’da made that freaking play at first! Dang dang dang…

Is It Me Or has AT&T park been a House of Horrors for the Braves…?
I still have Flashbacks of Chipper injuring himself on that torn up infield they had here a couple of years ago…But It seems like the braves bont play well here…
Well I do believe in 2005 Ryan Langerhans had his best career game here…

And now KJ triples to start off the 6th.
But please…..continue your ill-informed rant.

I’m ok with sending Vazquez out there in the 6th, but if he doesn’t retire the leadoff man… you’ve got to yank him immediately.

On the second ball 4, umpire awards Prado first base. (The 3-0 was low too, but got the strike call.)
1st and 3rd. No one out. Diaz at the plate.

PWH –
On the whole, the offense is pretty anemic. I agree we have definite problems in that area. But to proclaim that the game is over at 1-0 is simply idiotic. Not that that surprises me coming from those that are calling it quits in the 5th inning.

as far as big bats go – I went to the Myrtle Beach Pelicans game on Friday night and the big 3 put on a show. Heyward hit a HR to left-center field. Also had a stolen base in the game. Cody Johnson hit a bomb that had to have gone well over 130 feet – it went over the CF wall and the bigger green wall behind that. Freddie Freeman also had a couple hits including a double. They also could not be nicer to fans – both young and old. Rohrbough looked good – pitched 5.2 innings I believe and gave up 1 run. Very few hard hit balls against him. Control was a problem though.
Cody Johnson has to be moving back up the BRaves prospect list (though on his first bat he looked like a lefty Frenchy swinging at bad pitches). He is hitting .275 or so with now 16 home runs (at the end of Friday). If he continues to develop patience at the plate which he did show later in the game, he could make an impact. Except for maybe Michael Stanton in the Marlins organization Cody shows more power than any prospect I have seen in a long time

Sanchez has lost the strike zone ala Kris Medlen.
RC
May 25th, 2009
5:45 pm
But to answer the question on why KJ hits lefties so well, he’s said in interviews before that he is concentrating more on not “pulling off” of the pitch, since lefties tend to throw their breaking pitches to left-handed hitters more often.
