I have to say dude’s proven me wrong. I was ready to throw him under the bus after his abismal Apri/May.
Well, Supes, at least you have the desency to do such a thing. There are many many others here who haven’t quite gotten around to it yet.
That includes some who said they would back in May when some of us said that Garret Anderson would put up good numbers when all was said and done.

I’ve come to the conclusion that with a sizeable lead or the team is losing, Moylan is a safe bet but if it’s 1-2 run lead, then he makes you want to look away

Now it looks like we are seeing the “good” Moylan tonight. We could have used the “good” yesterday.
I guess that it is much easier pitching with a 4 run lead, then it is in a pressure situation like the one he came into yesterday in the 8th inning.

Moylan actually pitched a decent inning….
I like Glaus man…he would be a nice pick-up….or Overbay…I think they could both work!!!
And we could get them pretty cheap…The Blue jays would want more for Overbay then say the Cardinals would for Glaus however

Meanwhile, Peter Moylan, another one of Bobby’s Boys who should never, ever pitch in another ballgame again, gets the Mighty Brewers 1-2-3 in the eighth.
Good job, Petey.

Jeremiah,
No, no one fields 1B as well Kotchman. He is a good glove man though, and *can* be a good bat. Glaus is streaky like KJ, but with more power when he’s hot.

mlbtraderumors says:
the Braves are looking for a releiver possibly SAITO, MAHAY, or GRABOW
I would love to have anyone of those guys but what would they give up? KJ?
and
do they need a reliever worse than a bat?
it also says the Nats will trade DUNN for young pitching….would you give up MEDLEN, JOJO, and a couple other players (KJ and Schafer) to get him?

Moylan’s going to make a run, I think.
Maybe instead of cringing every time he’s brought into the game, we should celebrate his pursuit of that hallowed mark.

Did Dense actually say GD? I didn’t think he was a believer?
On Norton, I am still on the fence about him staying with the team long term this year. I was JUST NOT GOING TO GO APE SHEIT over them keeping him like about half you losers did yesterday.
It’s danged long season. If every team sent players packing when they had a slow start, we would have about a 1/4 turnover in the majors every year!

Frank Wren, Please do not bring Troy Glaus here. We don’t need him. Omar Infante will be coming back soon. If you are going to bring in a bat, bring in a bat off the bench and/or a big outfield bat. I’m not interested in Adam Dunn though. Too pricey and too much of a liability on defense. In addition acquiring Dunn would require giving up some prized prospects and the cupboard is already pretty bare. Getting Dunn would have desparation (read Mark Teixeira) written all over it.

No, no way. Schafer and Medlen together in a package for Dunn is gross overpayment IMO. His defense is just too bad…

Kirkinga, I gave GA a hard time at first, but not for his hitting, I figured that would come around, but for his defense..He just did not seem to have a sense of urgency..in retrospect, I think he may not have been 100% healthy, and as his health has improved, so has his defense…I still like that he gets time off to keep him fresh, because he is great Vet with WS experience…I love Vets

You guys need to let off Moylan too, he’s had a few bad outings, a couple due to defense behind him, but when he’s on he’s brilliant. I think he needs to follow McCann though and start wearing his glasses again.

keylargo………I want to see Norton and Kelly do good……IF……it is something that they can do consistently. However, if they get a hit……..ONLY to SUCK once again, then no, I dont want to see them do good. Kind of like with Francoeur. He would hit a homer…..and then suck for 3 weeks before he hit another double or homer. It’s like hitting a homer gave him a FREE PASS to suck some more.

kirkinga,
No trust me, I’m glad I was proven wrong about Anderson. I’m a Braves fan and I want our team to win and for all of our current players to succeed. I have no problem saying I was wrong. Glad for it. To be honest like Paul Lentz said…he started turning it around sometime in May, I still had my doubts but his June/July performance has been solid.
Guy can still hit. Good for us
Meanwhile, who kidnapped Moyland and replaced him? Looking great tonight! Just when I used moylanta for the 1st time, maybe I should use that more often?

There is a reason that many pitchers are relief pitchers. It’s because they aren’t consistent or good enough to be starters (except for the elite closers and some set-up men).
And you folks act surprised if they give up a run every 2-3 innings. Like I said, there is a reason they are relievers.

Coach Smith,
Like Steve from OH said, that would be a huge mistake trading away 2 young future pieces for Dunn.
Also, Dunn is a BUTCHER at 1B. Can’t do it.
He is “tolerable” as an OF b/c of his offensive production.
The Nats ARE NOT trading him. Their GM came out and publically said it last week.
Most likely Dunn will be there (and be discussed as a trading piece next year). His future looks like it’s going to be in the AL as a DH. Imagine him as a Red Sox or a Yankee in 2010?
Not that the Braves can’t use a pure power hitter. Just ain’t going to happen.

Great steal for McLouth and RBI for Prado to give the Braves a little insurance. Who said a Bobby Cox team never manufactures a run.
BTW, announcers just said that Detroit has released Josh Anderson. Maybe the Braves can undo that mistake and get him back. (That last bit was sarcasm by the way.)
