RF Werth is really playing over in L-C and more shallow than you’d think he should for such a pull hitter with power….

As I hit submit comment on that last one, ‘Rochy pulled it, but didn’t get all of it, else it’s to the wall for an easy double where Werth was playing.

I just cannot like Cox as a Manager, Mclouth leads off with a double, and he decides to sacrifice the teams hottest bat, and in the end he does not move him over. My problem with that is that Prado could drive him in or hit behind him and move him over so why sacrifice him. HE MANAGES THE SAME way in every situation,little wonder we cannot win the big games.

Great work there Ryan.
Come JJ, 1-2-3.
I thought GA hit his ball way out and then I thought Yunel’s ball was going to be a bloop single. Very odd.
Keep hitting Braves.

Only real improvement would be if McCann got his crap together and if Bobby would put Esco in the 4-hole. Right McFann?

For the season, LaRoche came into this game batting .339 with a .624 slugging percentage in 51 home games, and .180 with a .307 slugging percentage in 52 road games.
Before being traded to the Braves, he had hit just .159 with a .287 slugging percentage in 45 road games, and had one homer and nine RBI in his last 26 road games.
Since the trade, he’s hit hit .320 (8-for-25) with a homer and four RBIs in seven road games.

We might need a sweep, but the main focus should be to avoid disastrously getting swept. we need to win two. that way we’ll at least make headway vs. the wildcard field. if we sweep, even better

I do agree with you in this case about Cox. It’s the first inning against the Phils. You know that you are going to need more than one run in this game. Let Prado swing away. If it were the 7th or later in a tie game then bunt, not in the first.

Cricket, I heard and read good stuff about District 9. I still want to see Moon, which is on at the Plaza here in Atlanta (or at least it was before today, hopefully it’s still there).
I saw The Cove this week. Powerful documentary that’s as suspenseful as a studio thriller. It’s about the illegal slaughter of dolphins in a little town in Japan, where officials look the other way and actually help keep out anyone who tries to get in the way of the lucrative practice.

Freddie G: Prado is still hitting well, but is not the team’s hottest hitter right now. He’s hit .283 with a .310 OBP since the break; Braves have seven guys hitting over .300 since the break, including five hitting over .320, four of those with OBPs above .390 since the break.

What is wrong with you? He’s putting too much pressure on himself. He’s not a natural 4 hitter.
