Can’t wait to get to the stadium tonight!

Hoping the Bravos can pull out this one, cus I’m not liking the KK vs. Johnson matchup, even though KK has pitched extremely well when facing elite pitchers.

If we win today we got a good shot at winning the series with Javy going against Rick “the Incredible” VandenHurk…

GO BRAVES!

How dumb to build a stadium in Miami and not put a dome on it. Think people, think. Of course that was waaaaay back in the day so apparantly minds have sharpened since then. Oh, how dumb of me, it was intended for playing football and real men play in rain…whatever. This fu***!! game had better not get postponed, damnit!

If the Marlins kept more of their players maybe more fans would show up. The majority of my family are huge Marlins fans but they won’t ever to pay to go to a game. They would rather watch on tv. Especially if the team is good, they know during the offseason they will dump all the players. Its hard to pull for a team who just continually wants the lowest payroll.

woogidy,

I would not give up Heyward and Hanson. But I also don’t believe any of the prospects the Jays are asking for are as good as Heyward and Hanson. Drabek is close to Hanson, but his distance from the majors makes him less valuable (right now). And Heyward is pretty much the #1 prospect in baseball.

I wasn’t blocked. But the person who was fake posting under my name was. I reported the comments and had a few email exchanges with the AJC. I verified my IP address and ID info and they blocked out the other one or two people who were faking other peoples names as well.

The AJC guys are on point when it comes to that.

Other than that, what the heck’s been going on here???

Puma –

I was just looking up the same stats and comparing to historical stats. We are not overusing the bullpen. Yes, Moylan (2nd), Gonzo (6th) are in the top 10 (and Soriano is 22nd) in appearances, but they are 29th (Moylan), 19th (Gonzo), and 16th (Soriano) in IP in the NL. They are on a pace to pitch in 90 (Moylan), 82 (Gonzo), and 74 (Soriano) games, compiling 75.2 (Soriano), 74 (Gonzo), and 70.1 (Moylan) innings. Compared to the last decade, these numbers would put them in the top 10 in appearances most years, but in the 10-30 range in IP in the NL only:

‘97 97 IP in 74-78 appearances was the mean / range of the top 5 most used relievers
‘99 94 IP in 70-79
‘01 99 IP in 75-79
‘03 87 IP in 76-78
‘05 93 IP in 78-79
considering only guys who had 0 games started.

Marlins fans, how frustrating is it to be a fan of that team when they constantly dismantle it? I couldn’t take it year after year. I read a little while ago where a fan asked if Ross would get moved and the guy said that he might because he’s starting to get pricey…that’s pathetic. It really is. Of course when you average, what, 8-10,000 people per game then it makes some sense but I think they know the team they’re paying to watch won’t be there next year, so why bother.

And really folks, is there a trade scenario ON EARTH I could mention that wouldn’t be heaping redundancy on toppa (how ya’ll like that word) ad-nauseum redundancy? EVERY trade, no matter the utter bafoonery of it, has been mentioned, re-mentioned, discussed, dissected, autopsied, biopsied, looked at under an electron microscope, thrown against the wall, then brought-up again, again, and again.

Yeah, I like BBQ talk. I LOVE baseball too! THAT is why I’m here. I actually love reading what y’all have to say about trades or anything else. I just feel at times like there’s nothing substantive I can add. Y’all do such a good job that it leaves me with BBQ, Agnes Moorehead, the plight of mankind as we know it, and not much else.

Whether or not the Braves make the playoffs this year, I think everyone should be able to recognize that Frank Wren has done a tremendous job this season as GM. From completely rebuilding the rotation in the offseason, to making the McLouth and Church trades before the Braves were too far out of the race for it to matter, he’s done a pretty good job in the GM chair. That’s definitely not to say he hasn’t made mistakes, but the overall result is looking pretty good about now. Bonus points for pulling of McLouth trade early enough to not fall back in the race (and not give the Pirates time to shop him around).

Heyward,

Not going to disagree with you about Kelly being a better hitter than Kotchman. But I’d be willing to bet the runs saved by a defensive right side of Prado/Kotchman over a defensive right side of Johnson/Prado outweigh the difference in runs scored by Johnson over Kotchman.

“Those guys in the pen would never know their role and they would just have more pressure knowing if they messed up the next day they would be sent down. Which would be harder to succeed. Eric from Mo

I’m not suggesting on a weekly basis, bring guys up and down. But seriously, did it REALLY take Bennett breaking his hand to get him the hell off the roster? THAT is what I’m talking about.

“As for Schafer, KJ and Frenchy; the manager can’t be blamed when he doesn’t have good alternatives. Gotta drop that one on the GM.” Wayne

Yes and no. Schafer? I liked the gamble. The kid can play defense, he can run and provided everybody else on the roster was doing their job, would have fit in just fine in the 8-hole of the lineup. That being said, a “backup” would have been nice in case (as he turned out to), NOT be ready.

Francoeur? Don’t get me started. Totally agree that he shouldn’t have been counted on. BUUUUUUT, Diaz was on the 25 man roster the entire season. Why did it take Cox so long to make the “switch”? Same thing on KJ and Prado.

The longer Prado has success, the dumber Cox will look (and many bloggers for that matter), on that decision.

“Not overusing the bullpen. “Based on innings pitched.”

You’re reasoning or assumptions are flawed. Without writing a long post. Its mostly about allowing the muscles,tendons,ligaments enough recovery time between throwing 100% and also each individual is different. One man might can pitch every other day no problems, but the next guy’s arm won’t let him whether he throws 1 inning or 2. A good coach learns his players limits.

njbraves………..dude, I never said that Kawakami was better than Tim Hudson. I recognize that the Tim Hudson before the surgery was better than Kawakami will ever hope to be.

However, two things factor into my decision to say that Tim Hudson should be used in short relief:

1. It’s hard to depend on a pitcher coming back from elbow surgery to go 6-7 innings during crucial late season games. While the Braves know what they will be getting with Kawakami……..they arent sure which Tim Hudson will show up the last part of the season, if he is used as a starter.

2. The Braves have a PRESSING NEED for a power arm to join Soriano and Gonzalez to help close out games. Imagine how powerful a 3some that Soriano/Gonzalez/Hudson would make? It would only be for the rest of the season. The bullpen would improve without having to make a trade or give anything up.

I mean, who would you rather see come into the 7th or 8th inning (especially on days that Gonzalez needs to rest) of a tight ballgame…………Tim Hudson or Peter Moylan?

Also, on days that Soriano has pitched back to back games, Hudson could be called to come in and get the 1 or even 2 inning save.

Having Hudson available to pitch short relief would give Bobby Cox a number of options at the end of games.

You seem to be conveniently forgetting that Infante was playing some second before going down, and Prado was a big banged up. Francoeur is all on Bobby, though with the adventures of Diaz in right, I can’t say I blame him too much on that one.

Church makes the ocassional Diaz in right bearable. Church is getting most of the play there. So, an argument can definitely be made that there was not a good option for Frenchy.

But then again, we come back to Bobby’s forte. He sticks with a guy, sometimes WAY too long. Sometimes it works, sometimes it don’t.

Tn Brian–yes, it’s hard to watch the team get dismantled year after year. So many players are former Fish! I sit at Turner Field watching game after game and say to whoever is sitting next to me “former Marlin” countless times no matter which team is playing. Honestly, I’ve gotten used to it. It’s almost expected now. Low(est) payroll–they can’t keep players that way.

As for the attendance at whatever their calling the stadium these days–it’s terrible, for sure. Maybe the new stadium–retractable roof and all–will draw more fans, but I have to wonder.

Paul Lentz,

Totally agree that Hudson is most valuable out of the pen. One other thing that’s important to note….in the playoffs, Cox will go with a 4-man rotation (at most). So by preparing Hudson to come out of the bullpen now, that’s one more bullet you’ll have to shut down the other team in a playoff series (unless you’d bench JJ, JV, Lowe, or Hanson over Hudson….I wouldn’t). Kawakami would slot into the “long relief” role in the playoffs, and *hopefully* not see a whole lot of time. If this was the beginning of the season, I might see things differently. But with about a month for Huddy to build up arm strengh, PLUS the knowledge that he wouldn’t be a part of a playoff rotation, I think you’ve got to use him out of the pen when he returns.

There is a bit of revisionism here regarding the Johnson/Prado situation. Infante had started platooning with Kelly, with Kelly even sitting for several games, and was hitting the daylights out of the ball before his unfortunate breakage. And Kelly wasn’t looking quite as bad in May as he was by the end of June. Bobby had watched Kelly weather slumps before, and he had always eventually hit his way out, usually with a hot streak at the end. Also, at the time Prado was struggling with his groin (as many of us do from time to time) and his average had gotten down to the .240’s, though Bobby was still giving him time at first and third. June makes the two look a lot further apart than they looked at the end of May, thanks to Kelly’s nosedive and Martin’s hot streak, but to say that Kelly batted .210 all year and Prado batted .330 all year is to take a lot of liberty with the truth. But, as always, why ruin a good story, huh?

they would be a much better team with halladay, but they are a very good team without him, and if i were the phillies it just wouldnt be worth giving up my best young players…their versions of hanson and heyward. (just an example, i dont know if their prospects are as good or not.

Not suprisingly, based on their metrics he’s been the 2nd best defensive 1st baseman in the NL this year. What WAS suprising was who has been #1……none other than Ryan Howard.

Norris, I think Joe must be pulling our legs. I would be shocked if something happend other than obtaining bullpen help.

“I hope Boston and Toronto can work things out… I dont want to see Halladay in a Phillies uniform..”

I don’t want to see that. So Boston can win the next two years? No thanks. I’d like to see him stay put. I still think there is a good chance that happens.

Shamus, maybe Joe is late is talking about the new Coke bottle or hopefully they’re bringing the cow down. Now that’s good fast food. Chickfila is the best.

I love ALL good Q, but my two favorites are dry rub ribs, and pork w/ a mustard base sauce!

I love burgers, but not from the chains.

Wayne, that S&M stuff don’t fit on a family blog!

Boston = New evil empire

I hate them more than dare I say it the Phils, Mets, and Yanks. I’ve got way to many friends that became fans of theirs after 2003. They try to tell me how great Fred Lynn was. Very annoying!
