I know Diaz is an adventure sometimes in RF but is there anyone more fun to watch hit and run the bases?

cabravesfan–
Oh yeah, I’ll take them now, too…just a good thing ssoR is catching instead of BMac–otherwise the ump never would have called that “the bat knocked the ball lose”…woulda just let the Reaper have the stolen base.
Thanks for the new Blog, Ms. Rogers!

I will be glad seeing Heyward in Loaf’s Spot this year, Loaf hasn’t hit all season other than June and July…

Okay, so we’re not gonna walk him. Lets see if TH can strike him out. Chances looking good. Notice, I did not do that stupid “first” thing.

Given that there are only 14 games left in the season and that we aren’t out of it (at least not mathematically) yet, just what is McCann being “rested” for? Golf in 2 weeks??

“But he thinks LaRoche has been a big reason why the Braves, in his words, that the Braves went from a .500 team to one that’s 10 games over .500 this morning. LaRoche is hitting .356 (57-for-160) since the Braves traded for him on July 31, and he’s led the team in home runs (12) and RBIs (33) since then.”
And Yet Bobby Continues to hit him no higher than 7th, Go Figure?
Thanks Bobby!

The first inning is a good example of why most of us want the HOF manager to watch games from the comfort of his farm next year.
2 players he never wanted to start this year (Prado and Diaz), who rode the bench while KJ and Frenchy were automatic outs, sparked the team with their hustle and talent. Meanwhile, broken-down Hoss continues to clutter the 3-hole. We have a new automatic out.
And Chipper, I don’t want you at 1B next year either. It’s been great to see good defense at one of the infield corners. We’re stuck with you, but hopefully the new manager will slide you down to 7th or 8th.

Roachy Will be the first person (And should be only) Person that the braves resign in the offseason
Roachy resigns for 3 years 22-25 Mill, “Bank On It!”
Feel free to mention anyone else that we need to go after in the offseason
I would love for us to try to talk to Jason Bay…I might be living a fantasy in thinking that we have a shot to get him but it would please the fans if the F.O. at least made an offer to him in the offseason

Besides Carroll Mac has an OPS OF .596 against LHP. I love Mac but Ross should get more at bats in this situation.
Roja

So in other words these last 14 games mean nothing??? Bobby sits McCann more in a season than Johnny Bench sat in his first 3 years. Bench only sat 60 games his first 6 years.

McFann – I agree that Ross had not faired much better against LHP but that in 38 at bats not 151 like McCann. Im just saying if you are going to give Mac a day off this might be a decent day to do it.

Brian McCann gets the day-game-after-night-game rest.
Shoulda saved yourself some keystrokes and just typed “DGANG”.

What is he being rested for? Um…like, the rest of the season…DUH. (Here ya go, Soph.)
You want him to play everyday in this heat and pass out? OK, that’s your business…

Neither did I. But McCann has played 4 less games this year than Chipper has before todays game (120 at 3b for Chip, 116 at catcher for McCann). Not often you see Chipper playing more than the young studs.
curtis jones
September 20th, 2009
2:28 pm
Sure would love to have McCann’s bat in the lineup more often on his days off from catching. Today would have been a good day to see him play in LF like he did in the WBC. Best hitter on the club, and his defense can’t possibly be worse than Loaf. As Cox continues to mis-manage, McCann will be worn out by the time he’s 30.
Carroll Rogers

Oh, I totally agree that this is a good day to give BMac a rest. Heh heh…not entirely sure why I gave ssoR’s numbers…didn’t even think about the number of ABs. Sorry ’bout that…

I’d like to see the best players in there ’til it’s over. And preferably BEFORE it was over too (like Diaz and Prado weren’t). And I don’t remember Bench passing out in the heat.

BMac went on the DL in late April/early May. Keep that in mind.

He played like…an inning of LF in the WBC.
Don’t know if it would be worth the risk…

RHR, you just don’t get the point of a blog, do you? Would I be that rude to Chipper if I were GM, no. Would I tell him that we would like to see him step up and be the guy we saw the 1st half of ‘09? Yeah, damnit, I would. Of course I’d phrase it different.

Since Aug 1, his OPS is .717

In my opinion Hanson pitch that is most impressive is the fastball that runs away from LH and into RH. That is the pitch that got Howard and the one that will take him from very good to special.
