that comment is 100% true. Check back on his starts. On the rare occasion he actually DOES get some run support, he’s scored on with in the next two innings every time.

It’s one thing to not have any production from the outfield the last two years but can we please get somebody who can catch the f***ing ball?
Come on Matt.

so the team just made a conscious decision not to waste their energy scoring any runs for him??

Can we please not blow this game?
Is that possible?
And by the way, when I said I liked the A-B-C baseball from the middle of the line-up guys I was being facetious.
They’re supposed to hit homeruns and doubles, not ground balls to the right side.

mr baseball: wow, I sure hope that “snotty” comment wasn’t directed at me. The first two words of my post were, “to me.” I wasn’t saying I was right and you were wrong, merely stating my opinion.
If that’s snotty, I guess I’ll sit back from here on out and let you engage the Tech fans.

One of my proudest moments as a parent was hearing my daughter say “Marteeeeeeen” when I was cooking dinner a night or two before she moved back to college. I felt like she would be safe out there in the big bad world after that.
Of course you should know that when I typed the above I misspelled the words ‘proudest’, ‘dinner’, and ‘moved’ wrong so make what you will of my mental state at this time.

Matt Diaz must have yet-again lost that fly ball in the lights. He is a MAJOR liability in the outfield.

Another late night of tutoring, and the Braves were kind enough to wait for me to start the game (and I promise I won’t go to bed after the 8th inning tonight, which someone talked me into doing last night – and you know who you are

That’s 25 steals for Wright in 34 attempts.
McLouth has 17 in 21 attempts this season with Pirates and Braves (10 in 14 attempts with Braves). Who’d have imagined he’d have eight fewer steals and eight MORE HOMERS than Wright.

Diaz has been hit by pitches nine times since Aug. 17, 13 for the season (sixth in the Atlanta Braves era). Big Cat got hit by 25 pitches in 1998.
Diaz nine times since Aug. 17 — one month.

Wall scraper. I’ll take it.
If Jeff ever actually did catch a ball at or over the well, it better not be one of BMac’s.
He never did it as a Brave. Don’t start now Jeff.
