this could give you something intelligent to talk about on here besides trading Javier Vazquez for Mike Cameron.
When have I suggested this? Was I drunk? Is Prado proving valuable to the team right now? Are you completely obsessed with OBP at the expense of better metrics?
Answers are no, no, yes, yes.

Prado is my second favorite Brave behind Gregor.
God, I keep wanting to call him Omar.
How bout a homerun Brian McCann?

YES, he was.

Steve, go to atlantabraves.com click sortable stats and click OBP. That should help you learn which players should be in the lineup
Perhaps you should apologize to Braveheart and let him actually teach you something about baseball?

Attaboy, Prado. Looks like Kelly will be picking splinters out of his backside for a while.

“our bench players are better than our starters”
They do represent all our offense tonight, but i’d still rather see this lineup with Yunel and Nate. I think we only got to see that lineup with Prado 2nd and Yunel 5th once before he got hurt. It was productive.

McCann has been to aggresive at the plate. Him and Chipper are trying to do to much every AB. Chip just needs to hit like last year i’ll take 2 or 3 singles a night.

Steve,
Please shut up if you are going to be an a-hole. Also, I will definitely have no respect for you if you cannot *at the least* agree that if we want the Braves to start winning again Bobby Cox should either retire or be fired if he chooses not to.
Thank you,
A real fan

I lead the parade for Bobby Cox to be fired as well as for Terry Pendleton. I also understand that John Schuerholz left us in a tough spot, and Liberty Media could care less if we win. We lack Major League talent in many area’s. I would fire Bobby Cox, but also build for the future.

Not to seem funny here but maybe KJ needs to go see a psychologist or something. He obviously has the tools to succeed at this level, so I have to think its more mental than physical. I don’t know, but didn’t John Smoltz do that? Regardless I hope they continue to play Prado. We can’t afford to keep waiting to see if and when he’ll break out.
Bill (SC)

i prolly would have brought Diaz to pinch hit he is beast with bases loaded and his pinch hitting numbers are very impressive. Lets just hope Lowe gets us 2 more scoreless innings.
Mitchell

8:44 pm
Let ‘em off the hook.
Unbelievable. I didn’t believe DL was going to get a hit but I’m still in disbelief.
Jeff fails yet again. He can’t play this game. We’ve seen enough to know that it doesn’t get any better than that.
A double then a single and then he swings at the first pitch.
Why why why?
Salamander
June 30th, 2009

Why swing, you can’t drive that pitch
You saw who was batting right? (sarcasm)
Bases loaded? Jeff went up there determined to swing at the first thing within a foot of the plate.

The problem with playing Prado everyday, is that once Bobby Cox decides somebody is a role player he doesn’t change his mind.
