Bobby Cox is responsible for Frenchy not bunting correct? If so, he needs to be fired. Horrible managing by a horrible manager.

This past inning can best describe this inept offense to a tee. Instead of delivering the first blow, the Braves sit back and strand runners in the 3rd and 4th, almost to say…”Here, we’ll let you make the first move”. It has to be so frustrating being a member of this starting rotation, knowing each mistake is magnified with such inexcusable offensive production. I digress, much like most on here. Back to gameday to stare at the inevitable for another hour. Prove me wrong, and it won’t be the first or last time you did, Atlanta.

If this game keeps going like this and I’m JJ, I start calling some of these guys out. I know he’s mature for his age and is a professional, but he is young and can only take so much. Look for him to blast off soon. Of course, Beckett doesn’t look that great, so…

Are we the only team that doesn’t do that “let’s go” you fill in the blank chant. We’re a little more unique. Got the Tomahawk chop and since they really don’t play that unless we are rallying or scoring we don’t even get to hear that much.

You’re right. Nothing is impossible. But in 16 career starts against the Braves, Beckett has allowed 24 ER. “A run” is about all we’re gonna get…..if we’re lucky. Anybody feeling any sort of luck, of the “good” variety when discussing the Braves this year?

PeachTreeTV SUCKSSSSSSSSSSS. While as a Braves fan, I enjoy hearing the announcers doing a game from the Braves prespective, I finally decided to switch to the Boston telecast of the game.
Why doenst PeachTreeTV offer the game in high definition? From what I hear, people in Atlanta can see it in HD, however the rest of the country cant. I subscribe to the MLB Extra Innings package on Direct TV and PeachTreeTV never offers the telecast in HD. FoxSportsSouth offers it in HD, but not freaking PeachTreeTV.
Can any of you tell me why PeachTreeTV doenst offer the HD to the rest of the country?
By the way, both Mets and Phillies down 4-0, Jair pitching a good game for us, yet the offense cant do anything with Beckett.

Yes on Brian McCann for the All-Star game. No on anyone else including Chipper who shows signs of fading toward the end of his career. And, unfortunately, this team will finish fourth in the National League East. Fourth is like last place since Washington is currently on loan from the International League. Wish this was not so, but this day-to-day lineup has too many holes.

Using Chippers own logic: He’s 0-3 and Mac isn’t even in the game, meaning the Braves are going to find it hard to win this

Hell, as long as the Phillies keep losing we’re all good.
I used to want to disown myself of these guys when they play like this and lose. Sometimes I want them to lose just so they don’t get away with winning a game like this but now if the Phillies are going to lose one game after another I’ll take it to the bank.
We’re still in it no matter how bad they (Phillies) keep playing. And as far as I can tell, it’s going to get a lot worse before it briefly gets worse than that before before it gets bad before it eventually gets a little better.
I’m serious now. I would love to see a 1-0 loss tonight. That would be awesome.
