hey, we did not lose any ground on the leaders. does that mean that we do not suck that bad? or does that mean that we are still in contention. How many times are we going to here from our broadcasters say “if we can stay at where we are at in the standing, we still have a chance to be there” hey guess, we suck and we will still suck in the later months

I think the hitting miseries lie in a fact that I heard on ESPN, I believe. One of the talking heads said the BRAVES were the second worst team in pitches per AB in the majors – only 3.22? pitches per AB. If true, aggressive hitting, or rather the lack of knowledge as to WHEN to be aggressive and when to be patient is sorely lacking on this club. Is the coaching staff and manager responsible for any of this situation, if its true?

In case there are any Mets’ fans lurking, today is the 65th birthday of Derrel McKinley “Bud” Harrelson, who I saw turn the double play to clinch the Eastern Division on September 24 a long time ago. I have this frightening memory for dumb stuff, and I always think of Bud on D-Day, since that’s when he was born.

Two full games after the Glavine episode, and the Braves have yet to score a run in either game. Wonder if the players are sending Braves mgmt an indirect, well conceived message that they did not appreciate the way things were handled in releasing Glavine. I wonder???

Foolish to decide that since one of the greatest closers of all time can be successful one inning at a time despite slow pitches, that a STARTER could do the same thing for 5+ innings with even worse stuff. Plus, does Glavine have a devastating change-up like Hoffman? Also, can someone point us to the last time period in which Glavine was successful?

DOB, what the heck happened to my pre-America’s Funniest Home Videos post.
It was a good one. More importantly, it was extremely long.
Kind of bummed about that to be honest. Or maybe extremely irritated.
I told Jeff Francoeur, the blogger, what an idiot he is because he he didn’t get I was making a joke about the unfortunate fact that both of the teams ahead of us in the division lost before we even started play tonight. It seemed as if they hardly noticed.
I was laying on the sarcasm pretty thick as I am want to do and he acted like a bitch and I wanted to tell him to stop being a dumbass.

Our offense is pretty pathetic right now. And it isn’t surprising-Kelly Johnson, Garrett Anderson, and Francoeur-3/8 of our lineup, have been almost the entire year out machines. So we rely on our best hitters being scorching hot. Right now, both McCann and Escobar are not hot. They have had weak performances in the last two series. And Chipper, with his injuries, just isn’t reliable. With Kotchman out, we really cannot be surprised at how little production we are getting.
Good news is McLouth looked really good tonight. There is little doubt in my mind (with his two hits, walk, and stolen base) that we probably would have plated at least one run if he lead off. Remember, that was Kelly who struck out with the bases loaded. Also Escobar’s base running miscue cost us men in scoring position with Chipper and Mac coming up. We reverse those two, and Esco’s single might have had McLouth at third.
But I don’t foresee any offensive production until 1) Chipper and Kotchman are both FULLY healthy, and 2) Garrett Anderson starts at least producing some power and around a .270 average (if either ever happen). Until that time, this will be a low scoring unit.

I was just looking at contending teams who have plenty of offense, yet could use some starting pitching. If the Toronto Blue Jays were to be serious about wanting to upgrade their starting pitching, they could be someone the Braves could deal with. If I was Frank Wren, I’d contact the Blue Jays and expressing an interest in working out a trade involving their right fielder Nelson Cruz and the Braves’s Javier Vazquez. A package of Javier Vazquez and Jeff Franceour might entice them to give up Nelson Cruz. I say “might” because Nelson Cruz is a fantastic power hitting right handed right fielder. Dude can flat out hit, has speed, and a good throwing arm. However, they need some starting pitching. Vazquez would give them a really good arm to join Roy Halladay in the rotation.
Giving up Vazquez would be a steep price, however in order to get quality, you need to give up quality. Cruz is eligible for salary arbitration next year, meaning the Braves will have him under contract for at least the next 3 years. I know that it would drastically increase the Blue Jays payroll. However they are in position to compete in the AL East. They need starting pitching. If the Braves could somehow swing that deal, that would give the Braves even more financial flexibility to improve the team. Imagine Nelson Cruz in this line-up:
1. Nate McLouth CF
2. Yunel Escobar SS
3. Chipper Jones 3rd
4. Nelson Cruz RF
5. Brian McCann C
6. Anderson/Diaz LF
7. Kelly Johnson 2nd
8. Casey Kotchman 1st.
9. pitcher P
That has the makings of a potent line-up. Plus it would add some much needed balance to the line-up.

The braves looked like a bunch of little leaguers that have not been coached on how to play the game. Are our coaches really making an impact on our players or are they there waiting to retire with Bobby? You know, bobby reminds me of my boss: old, with lots of tenure and corporate do not want to look bad and fire him. Bobby, its time to move on. Isn’t that what Wren and Schurholz said about Glavine?
Please. These are grown ass men being paid millions (well, most of them) to play ball. You think they got to this point and still need “coaching”?
My boss has a general idea of what I do all day but she doesn’t stand over me and force me to do this or that. So is she responsible when I mess up?
Hint: The answer is no.
Granted if I were to mess up a million times, every day, over and over again, she may speak to me about it but she can’t MAKE me not mess up…that’s all on me. I can change or be fired. And as far as I know, none of the Braves coaches have the ability to “fire” any of the players. And all Wren can do once the roster is set is look to the minors for a replacement or to the bench for a replacement, or make a trade. All 3 things have been done thus far and so far the results are no different. It’s time to stop blaming Bobby or TP or Wren and start blaming the men on the field.

I love the idea of moving McLouth to leadoff and getting another power bat. Just one problem– Someone would get fired for shipping Cruz and replacing him with Frenchy. Why would they do that? We’re not giving anything that’s considered a “Murderer’s row”.

we can still add one more bat but that still will not solve all the problems. The manager will obviously not be fired, but it is time for Terry Pendleton to bear some responsibility for the chronic hitting woes the braves have had. I wonder if Ned Yost would be a hitting coach. The Braves need someone to light a fire under them.

Epinephrine……………You are correct, I’m playing in a couple of online poker tournaments while trying to type this out. My bad.
Even though I was wrong about which team Nelson Cruz plays for (he plays right field for the Rangers, not the Blue Jays), the fact that the Texas Rangers are in first place, and need pitching…..makes the posting I made make sense for them as well. They are 3 1/2 games ahead of the Angels. It is a given that the Angels be active in the trade market and make a run at the Rangers. Just like the Blue Jays, the Rangers can score runs. However other than Kevin Millwood, their starters are struggling to get deep into games. They could use a Javier Vazquez to solidify their starting rotation, just like we need Nelson Cruz to add some punch to our offense. The trade would be a win win for both the Braves and the Rangers.

cabravesfan – I waited several days to watch last week’s episode. I have been known to record final episodes and wait a long time to watch – most notably, China Beach, which took me about two years to watch the last six episodes (I will admit an unhealthy attachment to Dana Delany (good Irish boy that I am), which was not enough to watch the last season of Desperate Housewives).

Shoeless Joe…it isnt so much that the Rangers would “crave” Franceour. It’s the fact that they desperately need a starter pitcher who can go 6-7 innings and give them a chance to win ballgames. Also, with if they were to trade Cruz to the Braves, that would create an opening in right field for the Rangers. I’m just speculating here. Maybe the will see Franceour as being a “serviceable” right fielder…..given that they have a strong need for starting pitching. Remember, you have to give up quality to get quality.

Yes, If I mess up, I take the blame but when I am sucessful he gets all the credit by doing nothing.
Coaches and Managers do have influence on performance.
In baseball, its the simple fundamentals. if a pithcers is breezing through the line up when our batters are swing at the first pitches, does it make sense to take a couple of pitches and make the pitcher work a little harder to get our players out?
when escobar got thrown out at second, where was the 1st base coach assisting him on where the ball was going to land?
when fielder hit his second homerun, where was the advice to pitch around him?
Bobby has influence over the line up, actually he creates the line up. Has this lineup worked for us thus far? Yes players are also to blame, you can’t really fire a player. does firing coach make more of an impact on players, absolutely.

So I had to add the “J” to the end of my name because there was a someone with the screen name “Mike” on here a few days ago that was a real idiot and he was pissing people off.
I havent posted lately and I wanted to chime in on the recent goings on…
1. Excited about Hanson. Enough said.
2. The Glavine thing sucks. I agree that Hanson will be the better option, but the Braves should have handled Glavine better. He deserved better. Regardless of what he has done in the past, he worked his butt off for a chance to come back and finish his career in a respectable fashion on his terms with his team, and the Braves took that from him. We should have just been honest with him when he re injured himself that we were counting on him earlier in the year and that by the time he is ready, Hanson will be and they want to get Hanson started. Then offered him a bullpen spot or a coaching spot, or to just retire. But certainly not at the last minute when Glavine thinks he has finally made it back. I have been happy overall with FW ’s moves, but his employee and public relations suck big time. He has completely mishandled 2 Braves icons.
3. Like the McLouth move. I feel it helps our club now and in the future. Too bad he is also in a slump.
4. This offense is TERRIBLE! No one is having any impact. We have been held scoreless 2 nights in a row against the Brewers. Its too bad that this pitching staff has to deal with this offense. If we had even half the offense of the Phils, we’d be in first place. I am so disappointed in the whole team offensively. It seems that every time I am watching a game or reading about sports, that some other ballplayer has more homers that ANY of our guys. We have NO POWER…its embarrassing. I am a huge Chipper fan, but I am highly concerned. He seems to be out more than usual. We cant count on him, and all he is doing is hitting enough singles to be at .300. I’d rather he hit .280 but have twice as many homers. Home runs impact games. Even our regular 25 home run guys are on pace to hit like 15-18. This whole team is in an offensive toilet. Something drastic has to take place, and its not trading for guys like McLouth.
This team is killing me. But I still love ‘em. GO BRAVES!!!

Turtsnap: Go to the link below. You’ll get ranks for AVG/OBP/SLG and home runs etc. at the bottom. TP’s first year was ‘02 or ‘03.

Everything else is just fun- and a break from all the negitive…stuff flowing around here after a loss- feel free to ignore them

So much for the impact of the Mclouth trade. Not exactly like the Crime Dog.Not blaming him, just no excitement generated for the team.

If Hanson stinks it up tomorrow, there is going to be riot on here. Think I’ll stay home and watch.

Should’ve mentioned that you have to click on the individual links to get those rankings…

I proposed that same idea earlier this week with Smoak as a PTBNL and people on this blog shot it down even with Smoak added to the deal! Most people were saying they didn’t want to trade Vazquez at all

You can bet your bottom dollar on that one. If he hets rocked which I have a feeling he will most people will wish we had traded him for Peavy

Thanks Steve. I’m beginning to wonder if the Braves should fire TP…. It is getting frustrating watching this team day in and day out!! Beginning to think ‘09 is a lost cause!

If we are 8-10 games out around the end of July, do you think the Braves will sell shop? By that I mean, trading Vasquez, Soriano and Gonzo. Thoughts?

Truth, we all have to remember the Wild Card. There is not a team that I can see that is going to run away with that thing. A move or two, and who knows?
