Talk about pitch counts. The only guy in Major League history who has thrown back to back no-hitters, threw 196 pitches in the second no-hitter. 196, lol. Talk about how times have changed, lol.

Btw, Chipper Jones is on pace to break his “personal best” 25 errors in 1995.

You don’t often see Chipper swing at junk like that.

Sanchez is pretty over the middle today. I don’t think we’ll see a no hitter.

Heath (Cleveland)………be patient. Right now, Sanchez’s stuff has movement on it right now. Let’s see how his stuff is moving come the 4th-5th inning.
Heath (Cleveland)

Sanchez over 20 pitches in the first inning. That’s a good start….wear him down.

Might be a lot of strikeouts tonight. Hanson struck out 2 in the top of the 1st, Sanchez 3 in the bottom of the 1st.

McCann has awful splits against lefties…should have had Escobar in the clean-up spot.

Anybody know why McLouth is in such a funk? (MF)
cause he’s a .260 hitter and that’s what they do on and off?

Jonathan Sanchez curveball ain’t working so far but his fastball and slider are. I love the camera angle, calling balls and strikes is easy from this vantage point.

For all those who are interested:
Buddy Carlyle pitched the first inning of the Gwinnett Braves game today. He had a 1-2-3 inning, striking out two. His fastball topped out at 92 mph.
Looks like that much-needed bullpen depth is on its way…

Don’t think Escobar minds hitting sixth. We asked him about hitting there today, and he said it’s not a big deal, in so many words…..
Sanchez hasn’t given up a hit in 11 innings, going back through a relief appearance before his last start. in case you were wondering.
Hanson is making this interesting. Strikeout Pablo Sandoval twice on nasty pitches, yet walk the pitcher.
Paul Lentz
July 20th, 2009

5 strikeouts for Hanson. But leaving too many pitches up. Hopefully he will settle down. What would help is for the Braves offense to pick him up and score a few runs. It isnt like Hanson is going to pitch a shutout every time out.

Hanson is so filthy. If either Diaz makes that catch, or Hanson doesn’t walk the pitcher, inning over. He’s obviously still a work in progress. Problem, Braves need him ready now. But gosh it’s hard to watch Tommy and not get excited, even when he is making mistakes.
Now let’s get some freaking runs.

That’s when you need the Leo Mazzone touch! The kids didn’t relate to Leo, (so some of the remaining staff vets said when Leo left) but they were scared shatless of Leo! There weren’t too many bases loaded walks or walks to the opposing pitcher when Leo was around. He just didn’t put up with that crap!
