Sure would be nice if the Braves would start this series out with a bang.

I would like to point out that the Braves have no hits through four innings against a young man who spells his first name Mat. And his last name Latos.

It would appear the Braves are Latos-intolerant….

Paul Lentz – I like Dexter even more than Yunel!
Btw, I also picked up some great shows from reading this blog. Sons of Anarchy & Breaking Bad are top notch.

Season 1 was the best. Season 2 was second best. Season 3 was good, but the last episode sucked. The last episode was way too rushed

Still a lot of baseball left. However, our bats are awfully quiet so far tonight.

Remember when I posted this today?
DOB: Mat Latos is 0-2 with a 14.09 ERA and .417 opponents’ average in his past two starts, after going 4-0 with a 2.10 ERA and .186 opponents’ average in his previous four.””
What ya wanna bet we get the ace instead of the goat? That’s just the way things usually go for us with opposing pitchers.

EMABARRASING. CANT GET A HIT VERSES ONE OF THE WORST TEAMS IN THE MAJORS.
HORRIBLE.

Ahh what a boring game where in the world is our offense… hopefully were not going through one of those stretches again.

JJ pitching around the cheap hit. Nice. Now lets get him some runs!

Norris–what? I don’t speak yell.
Paul Lentz
August 25th, 2009
8:35 pm
I have to agree with Boog about the validity of those “judging” who should have gotten to a ground ball in a certain range. It is very subjective.
Heath
August 25th, 2009
8:35 pm
I wanna see a Diaz double…JJ moving him to 3rd, and Omar getting him in.

Did someone forget to tell the Braves offense that their day off was yesterday?
Everytime they have a day off, they show up flat. They can not afford to give games away that they should win at this point in the season.
Steve from OH
August 25th, 2009
8:36 pm
Paul Lentz:
Do tell. No, seriously, explain to me why UZR is subjective in your own words. I agree with Boog, but I have a hunch that you haven’t a clue what UZR is or how it is calculated, and just don’t like it because you don’t understand it.
NORRIS
August 25th, 2009

you try to vent your frustrations and mr ohio man wants to say i dont speak yell. Well i do. I am upset and yelling on my computer makes perfect sense

Can Vazquez pinch-bunt for JJ?
Heath

Here we go….another guessing game with the bunt attempt.
Paul Lentz
August 25th, 2009

With that hit, Diaz is up to .311 for the season.

I know the Braves seem to be enamored with this lose-the-first-game-and-win-the-rest thing, but it’s the freakin’ Padres.
