I am noticing that the board members are perking up fo KK, I figured that we all had some unreal expectations for KK initially. Now we know what he is and we changed our expectations. I am a big fan of Javy, D.Lowe, JJ, and Tommy Boy!

One could argue that KK has been better than JJ & Lowe this month. 9 straight starts allowing 3 runs or fewer. Thats pretty consistent.

Brooklyn Braves, KK has proven himself to be a very good big hype game pitcher, and even in his other starts he hangs around and settles in. I’m a fan.

Just shows how perceptions differ. Medlin got them three up and three down and some here said it was a good inning. Yes it was a good inning with no baserunners. But two of those outs were shots off the bats of the Yanks. I actually hope Medlin has a little more than he showed that first inning.

Another reason why the rumors you hear about the Braves trading a starting pitcher during this season, while they’re still in the race, are most likely not coming from anyone connected to the team.

I have to think the reason that Bobby mainly keeps sticking with KJ over Prado is because Prado is not fully healthy. Otherwise can’t see why.

Between innings on the huge video board, where they play Dream Weaver and show fans who look like characters from TV shows, they did Sopranos characters tonight. They showed a guy who looked a lot like Tony, particularly the body type and the outfit. Crowd got a kick out of that.

McFann, I can paraphrase what Sutcliffe said:
He mentioned talking to McCann recently and he said something about wearing the glasses because that’s all he can do until the off season when he gets surgery.

They all look like Tony Soprano if you ask me.
By the way, let’s get some runs because we’re kicking their @$$e$ otherwise.
I didn’t like Medlen at first. I wanted to see Glavine on Tommy Hanson before he ever made a start but I gotta admit, he’s a baddass.
Sorry for the language.

RHR………it isnt that anyone “wants” to trade Vazquez. I have repeatedly stated over and over again that I think that he is a really good pitcher. He pitches a lot of innings, keeps the team in games, never gets hurts. What is there “not to like”.
However, the way our offense is set up now, there is NO WAY that the Braves can stay in this race. The Braves NEED some right handed power.
So knowing that, either the Braves keep the roster the way it is and “hope” that our starters can keep shutting the opponents out……..or………the Braves can trade our best prospects (because that is the only other way that the Braves can get a slugger if Vazquez isnt used as trade bait).
So RHR, let me ask you this. If the Braves dont trade any of our starting pitchers for a slugger…….how would you go about improving the offense?
By the way……….15 up, 15 down.
