Let’s just say I’m pulling extra hard for him tonight and hoping Bobby is taking notes. McFann
Good luck with that…

jeffrey d., and I’ll bet Burnett has had more of those very bad outings than Lowe has this year.

Those who wanted Cody Ross: .188 w/ 2 strikes. Yikes!

Then there’s Colorado rookie Dexter Fowler, the Atlanta native who’s hitting .274 with 27 doubles, seven triples, four homers, a .374 OBP and 26 stolen bases….

The FLA SUN announcers have been talking about the no-no for at least an inning now…so, if it going to get jinxed…it’s already been thrown out there. Heck, these guys went so far as to talk about the last no-no for the Braves…. Kent Mercker in ‘94….
And the no-no is over.

This is starting to look like the 4th inning of the first game of the Mets series on Tuesday. Hopefully Hanson can get this last out.

The Braves could have had Wes Helms at the first of last season. Phillie released him and the Marlins signed him. He is as valuable as OI.

Regardless, taking a no-hitter to the fifth inning against a team as hot as these Marlins is impressive. Remember, they’ve had 10 or more hits in 16 of their past 17 games.
UNCBrave

DOB,
I think the ROY is between Kung Fu Panda Sandoval of SF, Happ of PHI, and Hanson of ATL

Well its a little “tenser” now…or as Joe Simpson calls it “a ball-game”
Paul Lentz
August 22nd, 2009
8:30 pm
At least we have the lead now. Time to score some more runs. 4 runs in the first, and nothing else for the rest of the game would pretty much be a repeat of Tuesday, when they went scoreless in the last 6 innings of the game.

Just a theory….Chipper is upset over the death of his gay mexican lover down in Texas.
How else can you explain it?????

Yep, let’s restart the offense and get some of these runs back…
Giants up 3-1 on Col top of the 2nd…

UNCBrave, Sandoval and Happ both have been in MLB before ‘09. Not that it means much, but it still aggravates me.

“The Marlins always feel they’re in a game, ”

You have no offense in the lineup tonight yet they manage to get you four runs! With the lineup the Braves put on the field tonight, that’s gravy!
So what does Hanson do? He tries to give it all back!
C’mon Tommy! Get your head outta your a## and bear down!
David O'Brien

UNCBrave: Pablo Sandoval isn’t considered a rookie, so he’s not eligible for Rookie of Year.
He had 145 at-bats last season, 15 more than the max to make him a rookie this season. Otherwise, I think he’d win going away. No, I know he would.

For some odd reason,
I don’t think four runs is going to be enough tonight.
Good to see the Braves ease back on the gas pedal just a bit though, to make this interesting. Ho-hum games are boring anyway.
NO MORE COX OR CHIPPER!
August 22nd, 2009
8:36 pm
Of course, the offense has completely shut down.
Tomahawkin
August 22nd, 2009

Seriously, I’m gonna lose it if Bobby and His Posse find someway to blow another game that was in the Bag!
Especially after that 1/2 Assed effort in the 9th inning of last night’s game

Tonight’s managerial decisions by Gonzalez would never happen by Cox. Cox would never have PH for his starting pitching in the 5th like that. Gonzalez does it…and he is rewarded with some runs. He has to use his bullpen a little more tonight, but hey, at least they are back in the game.

Tomahawkin,
So what exactly did Cox do in the top of the fifth that you disagreed with?
Should he have pulled Hanson after the second hit he allowed?
Tomahawkin
August 22nd, 2009

Big Red has been getting squeezed tonight. I dunno why either, he’s been fairly accurate tonight

Tim I can’t get anybody out Redding has one hit the Phils for four innings. Maybe we should start Acosta, Logan and Medlin this weekend.

CrimeDog

I have a question. I’m not attacking anyone, I’m just genuinely curious…
For all of you guys that constantly predict failure, losses and meltdowns: do you actually enjoy watching the Braves? I seriously would like to hear responses. I’m not trying to be a smart-a**.
It just doesn’t seem (to me) that there’s much enjoyment in watching a good (not great) baseball team when you have that kind of outlook. I see the team’s flaws just like everyone else. But to contstantly see the negative in every inning/game just seems depressing.
Any thoughts?
