I hate the Braves.
I can’t watch anymore but I probably will cause I’m a retard, sort of like Matt Diaz. Just can’t lay off that ball ten feet off the plate.
That game was bull**** but they still should have won. People act like Howard destroyed us. They gor a bloop single, if not for that they would have only had 3 GD runs. Give me a break. We can’t score three damn runs?
It’s too late for “we didn’t swing the bats” BS. How about, “we suck”?

Furman Bitcher: We definitely have a better shortstop than the Phillies. Why don’t you go look at those numbers. I would also rather have Nate than Victorino going into next season. If you think the Phillies have better pitching than the Braves than you should leave. Other than Lee they have a very unproven and shaky staff. Pedro, Hamels, Happ, and Myers? versus our bottom 4 of Jurrjens, Hanson, Hudson/Kawakami, and Vasquez. Yes, our ace is supposed to be Lowe.

lee is going carve those braves hitters to shreads. the only good hitter in that lineup that could maybe put a fear in a pitcher is mccann. he’s not even in the class of howard,utley,or j-roll, but compared to the rest of that sorry a@! lineup he looks like mike schmidt or babe ruth. how pathetic of a team when a broken down 37 year old IF is hitting 3rd??? OMG, that is a freakin joke. HAHAHA

Still can’t figure out why someone who knows there team is likely destined for the playoffs feel the need to brag on a team that obviously is lesser than them right now. Here’s a hint, the Cards have a blog, oh and so do the rockies, dodgers, and giants. You know these are teams all ahead of the braves right now.
Cards are looking pretty good though right now. There reclamation pitcher project has turned in better results than yours to this point. But hey, for your sake I hope you guys win it all this year because we all know just winning it once isn’t good enough. I mean thats what you guys keep telling us braves fans. The Cards don’t look like they’ll choke like the cubs did last year so the competition looks a little stronger this year. On the AL side the Yanks are rolling along and the Angels are back again. No little upstart team to pick on this year like you did the rays.

as would anyone with a baseball brain. They would immediately know that he gave up enough run(s)
to be behind when he left and the Braves never tied it or got ahead. Man, anybody with even a modicum of baseball knowledge would be able to figure that out. Oh yeah, I forgot…

in all seriousness, if the braves get a real cleanup hitter for next year, like a fielder, old man jones can somehow make a comeback and if they can keep that pitching in tact, the braves have a good shot at being a terrific team. the nucleus is there to be good, but there are to many key pieces missing at this point.

I’ve seen his work B4. He comes to an awful lot of conclusions after just one viewing of a player. I kinda doubt he is an actual paid scout, and if he is he needs to watch more and write less.

Church’s back is bad again. Flared during game last night. He’s day-to-day again….
McLouth played four or five innings in first rehab game Friday,went 0-for-2 with a walk. He’ll be in Florida on Monday, but Bobby said he doesn’t know if he’ll be activated until Tuesday (Sept. 1), when rosters can be expanded. They’re having a hard time figuring out how to open a spot, apparently, so might just wait until Tuesday. I’m guessing that some folks could make a suggestion about how to open a spot, but hey….

Not suggesting these Braves are that kind of team, at all. Just saying, why do so many people here get obsessed with this mythical 90-win mark like it’s some sort of qualifying standard for postseason play?

They play 162 games a season to neutralize the luck. Assuming you did not care about the Braves and yet you had a chance to have front row seats at the World Series. If you ONLY had an interest in watching GOOD baseball what other teams besides the Yankees, Red Sox, Angels, Rangers(????), Phillies, Cards, Dodgers and Rockies would you want to see involved??
There are 8 teams that you would want to introduce baseball to for someone who had never seen a game and you were trying to assure he or she saw the best product.

not all that much. you can get an idea of his physical abilities, speed running etc, maybe some on his mechanics. but if you are really interested in a player you need to revisit him as often as possible with some spacing in between to lessen the chances of catching him on a hot or cold streak.
Think about watching Chipper two months ago and watching him now. Anybody who watches a guy once or twice and draws conclusions from a few radar gun readings eyc is doing a superficial job. But then this guy seems to be just trying to give an idea, which is ok in his line I guess, just don’t place all that much trust in such infrequent viewings. I don’t know if he will be right or wrong, but the “sample size” seems awful small.

Tarp’s coming on the field, and it’s getting dark from heavy clouds moving in….
Rockford: 20 years ago, about 50 current players would be put on their backsides for the stuff they do at the plate on a regular basis. But game’s changed, for better or worse (worse, in my view), and guys get away with standing and watching their long flies (some that don’t even make it out) without repercussion. Same thing for taking forever to get ready in the box, going through 10 silly steps before every pitch, calling timeout when a pitcher is going a little too quickly for their liking, etc, etc.
I haven’t noticed Hanley doing that (posing on opp-field line drive), but I don’t doubt that he’s doing what you say.

Not suggesting these Braves are that kind of team, at all. Just saying, why do so many people here get obsessed with this mythical 90-win mark like it’s some sort of qualifying standard for postseason play?
2008 WC – Brewers 90-72

2004 WC – Astros 92-70
2003 WC – Marlins 91-71
2002 WC – Giants 95-66
OK..so, it’s easy to see that the average number of wins required to win the WC is around 90. Can it be won by winning less than 90? Sure. Is it likely this year? Probably not. I don’t mean to sound confrontational with you sir, but I don’t see how you don’t understand why people don’t use the 90-win plateau as a general rule of thumb to win the WC. The proof is in the pudding, so to speak. It’s really not that hard to see when you look at what the Rockies, Giants, and Dodgers are probably going to do this year and what previous WC winners have done in the past.

How ’bout if Braves go 21-13 the rest of the way, to finish with the same record the Dodgers had when they won the wild card in 2006? How ’bout if they go 22-12 the rest of the way, to post the record the Astros had when they won the wild card in 2005?
How ’bout, it doesn’t matter? All that matters is finishing with one less loss than the next-best non-division winner. And yes, that’s going to be difficult.

This last series against us, in the first inning he hit a liner to Diaz’s right in RF. Diaz cut it off, but with Hanley’s speed he could’ve possibly stretched it. If the ball was right at Diaz, he would’ve had a shot at a 9-3 putout.

You are right, you only have to have 1 less loss than the next best team in the WC race. But, you think that the Rockies and/or Dodgers will finish 2nd in their division with only 87 wins…or 88…or even 89? I think that is the main point that people are trying to make when they use the 90-win plateau in their argument. More times than not, the WC winner wins 90 or more and this year’s race doesn’t look any different. The Braves, as a team, needs only to focus on their games…focus on winning every single game. Us outsiders, though, can see that they had probably, in all likelihood, better win 90 or more if they want a shot.

Better win 90
Exactly, the BRaves can’t get into how many, they just focus or should on the game at hand. 90 wins is a minimum, the Rockies can get there by playing 2 games better than .500 the rest of the way.(You certainly got to figure that’s the worse they will do) I figure we need 92 wins though to win it outright or to tie. Quite a task. Lose tonight and tomorrow and your talking mathmatically possible but a minor miracle would be needed!

I’m getting conflicting reports that the rain is about out of there… nope, looks like the radar is showing a huge cell moving in within the next half hour. Then again, it could move just north of Philly which would probably cause little rainfall in which they could play in. Then again…

We’re having a sun shower now. Supposed to be 20-30 minute delay to start….
Hey, they’re playing what’s-his-name on the blog’s favorite tune right now, Kings of Leon’s “Use Somebody.”

Heath, if you want to look at that “90 wins or bust” senario than by all means, do your sh**. Me, I’m just waiting to see if Chipper can be Chipper again because for me, he’s the key the rest of the way.

Got a couple of CDs this morning here in Philly, the recent one by Levon Helm (Electric Dirt) and new one by Arctic Monkeys. Good stuff. Also got Stones’ remastered Tattoo You, since I only had the first-edition CD and they had all the remasters on sale.
Here’s a clip about Helm’s Electric Dirt.

scoots,
You’re just not a good evaluator of talent. nolie isn’t, either. If I sent Lentz out to scout a guy, we could take his evaluation as Gospel truth. You see, it’s about rectitude. Lentz has it in spades. Don’t hate him because he’s always right. Hate yourself because you can’t be him.

Back when Imus was on MSNBC, he had Levon on quite a bit. Really enjoyed those sessions and interviews.

TnBrian -
Facts are facts and that is what I just posted. If you think the Braves can win the WC with less than 90 wins, so be it. I want to see the Braves do well and get in the play-offs, irregardless of how they do it. I just look at the Dodgers, Rockies, Giants, and to some extent, the Marlins, and think that 88-89 wins is not that likely… History supports that and looking at how the competing teams will likely finish up the season also makes it look difficult too.

Oh, love that one.
I get it now.
They’re sort of like a gritter version of the Jonas Brothers.

Don’t hate [Dentz] because he’s always right. Hate yourself because you can’t be him.
Well, Chop, “hate myself” might be a little much, so maybe I’ll just look at my poor-by-comparison as an opportunity for personal growth, LOL.
