Lowe is just pitching horrible, he is by far the worst pitcher in this staff, and that includes Kawakami.

I feel sorry for KK. he wasn’t that bad. didn’t get much run support. then he gets punked to the bullpen in favor of Mr. Blister. I’d say we should trade him and some other guys fora power bat next year and eat part of his salary.

Could you imagine the Braves with a 30 homerun/ 100 RBI guy?
That’s not even fair. If we just had uh guy, a single, solitary dude with 30 homers… things would be different.
I hate when we get behind like this. They just seem like they have nothing. We have to get a run here.

Looks like it might be one of those games fellas, I mean I really hope not, but we have 1 hit through 2 innings against a guy that is 8-12 with a 5.46 ERA and whose fastball is topping out at 87 mph. They need to stop rushing and wait on the pitches.

Was hoping Lowe would shut me up and prove me wrong, but he left two pitches down the middle to their only power threats in their today, Zimmerman/Willingham. All we can hope for is he settles in and the offense can dig out of the hole Lowe’s put them in.

Let’s turn this attitude around. If anyone thought that we were going to run to the end of the season without some close games or scary situations, I want whatever your smoking. Games like this is where we find out what kind of heart this team has. If they want it they will go and get it!!!

Remember you’re talking to folks who thought the season was over back in May, then in June, July, August, and surely was over after the Reds sweep, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that some people still insist on calling the game after 2-3 innings…lol!

The Braves aren’t going to go undefeated over the next week. They need to make sure they save a loss for the Marlins series. I think they should hope they can go 6-2 starting today.
Loss to Livan today wouldn’t be the nail in the coffin but I would rather save that loss for the Marlin series. They need to beat this guy.
Mitchell

They finally trail somebody and then show no signs of fighting back.
This is discouraging.
I love how they keep trying to portray Livan Hernandez as having been beat up by the Braves over his career… except, uh, in the playoffs. Don’t bother to mention that.

Jurrjens, trailing and losing is the same damn thing, dont jump on this guy because you dont know better. If someone says, hey, they are losing to the Nats, then they are right, because they are losing to the Nats at this very moment, so cut the person some slack.

Settle down people. It is 2 runs.Not 5 or 6. If he gets through the 6th. It is a solid start. But he does look like he is battling! But this game is NOT out of reach.

When Lowe starts out in trouble and keeps getting into trouble in multiple innings, it generally gets ugly before the day is over.
Glad he was able to wiggle out of that last one, but Lowe would have a really short leash today if I were Cox.
Yes Because.....
September 27th, 2009

I thought Smoltz was pitching today. Does anyone know why he isn’t?
Because his shoulder is shot and he’s in pain but he wants to pitch in the playoffs one more time so he and the Cardinals are doing everything they can do to see his shoulder doesn’t go BOOM before the playoffs.

Proving that there is karma out there in the world:
~Eric Gregg was fired after he (and his umpiring colleagues) tried to strike.
~Eric Gregg became a whiny fatso, crying for his job.
~Eric Gregg was never re-hired because he was so fat and unhealthy.
~Eric Gregg had a stroke and dropped dead.
Think I’m still angry over that game!?! I’m still think the mob bought out the fat jerk.

I still catch hell from my NY friends about the Braves not winning more rings with their great 90’s teams. Damn, we would have won it all that year if Mr. Gregg hadn’t umped it. That was before umps were assigned to the post-season based on ability, right?
