By the way, Rockies starting pitcher tonight was Jorge De La Rosa. Next time you’re in trouble with your wife, girlfriend, significant other, whisper his name in your best Spanish accent in her ear. It’ll get ya out of hot water every time.

Braves are winning 3-1 (two-run single for Escobar in the 4th, RBI for LaRoche in the 9th) and BMac left the game a couple innings after getting a ball fouled off the bottom of his left wrist. He’s day-to-day with a bone bruise.

Sure am glad to see Yunel still in the game and not on the bench with a strained calf or the dreaded groin pull. It’d still be 2-1, and I’d be sweating MFIKY’s 9th inning appearance. Not much room to play with here, Rafael.

Tomorrow’s game is very important. If the Braves can finish off the sweep against the Mets by beating Pelfrey, then if the Braves are indeed worthy of putting pressure on the Rockies……then it should be a given that we should sweep the 7 remaining games against the Nationals. Their pitching sucks. Our pitching is superior to theirs.

Normally it’s hard to assume that a team is going to win 7 in a row against any team in baseball. However, I can actually see the Braves winning 7 in a row against the Nationals.

That would leave the 3 games next week against the Marlins as toughies.

I’d be happy if the Padres win one of these 3 games against the Rockies.

10:15 pm

In case you don’t recognize the stands taken here, it is that ole loser Dadgum…….also know as ROCKGUM

Here you go again RockGum. Let’s go back and see what you’ve been saying lately.

I think Wren needs to look at all avenues to keep Vazquez and Hudson as I have stated many times. RockGum 8/21 10:29

You told us MANY TIMES to sign Vazquez AND HUDSON

Don’t get me wrong I have nothing against Hudson but I am not mortgaging the farm and trading away Vazquez to be replaced by Tim Hudson. RockGum 8/21 2:38pm

This time it’s sign Vazquez but NOT HUDSON.

That will be Hudson’s job this year…to prove he is back and I for one am not going to annoint a start to someone coming off TJ and put him in a must win game (which all are from this point on). Gotta stick with KK, IMO, he ain’t that bad. RockGum 8/6 2:49pm

Hudson is not the way to go but KAWAKAMI seems like a good bet.

I am counting on nothing from Hudson this year but I am counting on seeing the big bats from the minors arrive to add lumber to the bench. RockGum 8/17 1:03pm

Counting on NOTHING from HUDSON but “BIG LUMBER” Conrad is coming to save us.

With Hudson (as with Glavine as with Smoltz) it is clearly not what you have done but what will you most likely be able to contribute. We know what Vazquez will give us in 2010 but regardless of how much Hudson will get to pitch (if any) this year I just can’t see the Braves picking up his option at 12 mil. RockGum 8/21 1:42pm

Now it’s NO HUDSON but I’ll take Vazquez again. Is there a stance you will not take if given enough time and a little success? I bet you’re back on the Prado bandwagon now that he is on a seven game hitting streak. And you forgot the 240/280/380/660 second half before.

DOB… thanks for the notes on the state of the Braves’ white shirts. (I’m always wondering what their thoughts are on the state of the team.) And a great article on Matty D! aka… the best kept secret in baseball.

Don’t know how the Braves fuzzies see it… but in ‘10 Matty D’s in my outfield fulltime. I ask you “what does a man have to do to prove his worth?”

And for whoever earlier stated that they would hate to see Matt at the plate in a meaningful at bat in the 7th game of the WS… well, for my $$$ I can name only one or two who I would rather see in that situation. He can look so bad on one pitch only to look so good on the next one… as good as anybody I’ve ever seen in that position… and the man’s never seen a pitch that he didn’t like.

Putting it simply… Matty D can rake! And kudos to him for going against the grain… on this blog anyway… and saying some very good and positive things about the best manager to ever don player’s cleats and a catcher’s mitt in the dugout!!

David, –
Thanks for the great story on Matt… do you think his defense has improved too? I recall Huddy teasingly called him Magellan a few years ago for the routes he takes to catch a ball… I know he has dropped a few, but my sense is he is pretty solid, not a defensive liability, pretty good arm, really hustles, improving. Did he really do the P90X in the off-season? As you probably recall, I am a fan… he asked me if I got my Diaz t-shirt at Good Will… a year later, I got him to sign it for me.
Are you taking the day off in NY or DC? Thanks, Bruce
