Again, why would the Rangers give up Cruz for Lowe and his salary?
Don’t get me wrong, I would love to have Cruz, but it would take Lowe and Medlen to get him. Lowe alone will not do it.

How long can Melky, McClouth, Escobar, Glaus, etc. continue as is?
If any NL team has the pitching staff to go on an extended run it is the Braves. Give it some time, but don’t be satisfied with lack of hustle or playing herd.

I am stupefied by the anti-Chipper sentiment that sweeps through this blog the last couple years like a prevailing wind of near-sightedness. Some people have a kind of visceral reaction to his errors, injuries or his slower bat speed. He’s past his prime, folks. But he is one season removed from a batting title and before last night was hitting .380 for the week.
When Chipper Jones’ days as a Brave are officially over, you naysayers will be singing a different tune as we painstakingly develop some new bright-eyed prospect at 3rd or rent some guy like a David Wright in the winter of his career–when Chipper’s presence is no longer felt in that line-up, and a mortal baseball player who will never be mentioned in the same breath as Hall of Fame is standing in his stead, you’ll be eating crow.
Chipper Jones, deficiencies and all, is still wholly respected for his ability at the plate. Have you noticed how carefully thet still pitch him? Have you noticed they don’t offer him much near the heart of the plate? Have you noticed his number of walks–with Brian McCann in the on deck circle? How is this lost on so many die hard fans?
Ask 100 pitchers in the league who they’d rather see up in the bottom of the 9th with a man on 2nd: Omar Infante or Chipper Jones. Go ahead, plug in Omar, who is no slouch with the bat or glove, for a half season and see how opposing teams’ pitchers approach the Braves line-up. They used to say that how GM goes, so goes the country.
Until guys like Heyward and Freeman truly arrive as premiere players, the fact of the matter is: how Chipper goes, so go the Braves.
The guy deserves at least as much respect from his fans as he garners from pitchers. But apparently he won’t get it from some until he’s gone, and the reality of the post Chipper era sets in.

Has Cox tried Omar Infante in the OF leading off this year? To me, playing McLouth and Cabrera at the same time is a mistake. Especially with both guys struggling. I think Infante might really get it going if he played everyday. He was great last year before he got hurt. Maybe even rotate Infante into the infield at second and let Prado play first or third to give Larry and Troy some days off. My first reaction when I heard LaRoche would not be the bridge to Freeman was to let Prado play first for a year, let Infante play second, and then get a guy like Hinske as a back up for Prado if he had to leave first because of some injury to someone in the infield. Come on Bobby, we gotta do something to shake it up!

La Russa is batting his pitcher (Carpenter) eighth today and Brendan Ryan ninth, first time he’s hit the pitcher eighth since July. His logic is that Ryan is struggling and he wants to see if he’ll get some better pitches to hit not being in front of the pitcher in the order.

Chipper is getting kind long in the tooth. He makes a lot of errors and has the fielding range of a flag pole, he doesn’t hit as good as he used to and it seems like he strains or pulls something every other time he breaks wind.
But! He is still a pretty good third baseman, a good hitter, and a team player that cares about winning first and foremost.
He is still a Star of MLB and a marquee player for the Braves.
I think we should let him play out the rest of his career as a player, and cut him him some slack. But that’s just my opinion.

The Braves are already DONE!!!! John Smoltz said “you can’t win the division in April, but you can lose it in April”, also this goes to show the arrogance of this organization to think that Bobby Cox could change a washed up Troy Glaus and get a career year out of Melkey Cabrera and to get Chipper to play hurt was too much even for him to do. He has worked miracles (John Burkett, Jared Wright, Charles Thomas…. ect) But if you have garbage talent, then you get a garbage team. And this sucks because I love this team so much but I gotta call them like I see them.

gobravos — Yup, Infante hit leadoff in Saturday’s game against the Mets. 0-for-5 with 2 Ks, though I mention that just to let you know how he did rather than saying that’s how he would do every time up there. While I’d rather have him in there than both Melky and McLouth, his OF defense isn’t all that great.

Sometimes I wonder about the sanity of folks here. Under what circumstances would anyone imagine that the Rangers would trade Cruz to us for anyone? He’s their best hitter, he’s young, and he’s making peanuts.
Think about this: Would you entertain the Cubs if they wanted to trade Alfonso Soriano to us for Tommy Hanson? That’s how ridiculous a trade for Cruz involving Derek Lowe sounds to the Rangers. I don’t think some people understand how trades work.

Let me clarify my Chipper thoughts. Do I long to see a healthy Chipper in the lineup? Of course I do! Do I think that a healthy Chipper, even at his current age, is capable of putting up numbers that can help propel a team to wins! Yes! Yes, I do!
A gimpy Chipper as he currently exists, is not as productive as a healthy Infante. Has nothing to do with what Chipper is capable of when healthy. Chipper is not healthy, so he isn’t capable of producing like a healthy Chipper.
Now for all of you folks that think that the Braves are better off with only Chipper’s hat sitting on third base and that’s better than a healthy bench player…. you’re freakin nuts! You still believe in Santa! You’re longing for the days of your youth when heros were real! Chipper couldn’t walk on water last time I checked. End of story!

Since the Braves have so many hitters who are struggling, I wonder if Bobby has considered doing what the Cardinals coach did?
Make our pitcher hit higher up (6th or 7th), and then maybe Glaus and McLouth will get better pitches to hit.

I’m a fan of 1. Infante 2. Prado too. I think it can work. Infante is a gamer man. Guy plays real hard, which I don’t see from some guys on our team. If you have guys like him and Prado starting things off it will provide good momentum for the others. You gotta throw to Chipper or Mac when guys are on base in front of them. I think both of them are pressing right now and and swinging at some bad pitches because thats all their seeing. John Smoltz said that Mazzone used to tell him to get around a team’s best hitter by getting all the other guys out. That philosophy is working against the Braves right now. No one is going to throw anything that can be hit well to Chipper, Mac, or even Heyward when they know there are at least 5 or 6 other outs around them in the Braves lineup. It seems like Chipper is swinging at a lot of pitches he would normally lay off because he knows he’s got to do something to get the team going. Same thing goes for Mac.

While I agree with Smoltz that you can lose the pennant in April, I disagree that the Brave already have. They’re only 3 GAMES OUT! Now if Philly had dropped a 17-2 to start the season and we were 9 games out, then it might be a more daunting task to dig out of the hole. But at 3 games out with a ton of games left to play against EVERYONE in the division, this thing could turn around within the span of a week. Not saying it will, but it’s not that much of a stretch. I would argue that given the way everyone is playing in the East, April almost the perfect time to go through these struggles. As the weather warms up, this patient Braves hitting approach is bound to start wearing down some pitchers. And some breaks are bound to go their way. Just like when the Suns fell behind last night while Portland hit every shot in the first quarter, you knew that shooting couldn’t continue. And when Portland started missing, the Suns caught up. Some of those line drives with men on base are going to fall. Soon…. I hope….

The Braves are still getting some of the best pitching in the league on a nightly basis, including six strong innings last night from Tim Hudson
Until a non-starting pitcher let an inherited runner score to tie the game and another non-starting pitcher gave up the go-ahead run. And even one of the runs that Hudson did personally give up was un-earned. Have we had an error-free game this year???
And Lowe’s ERA isn’t among the best pitching in the league.
I agree our offense does come up short in the clutch but our defense has really stunk it up. Looked like bad news bears in Braves unis in more than one game. Sometimes I think that if our offense scored 7 runs a game that somehow our defense would give up 4 and our bullpen would give up another 4 on the nights our starters didn’t do it first.
Not too sure about this team. It’s like a few of them gave up and just stopped caring after the Phils beat them in the second game of the series.

Tomahawkin my man. Look there are a lot of differences between the 1992 and the 2010 Atlanta Braves. #1. The year before the Braves went to the World Series. This team had a team that lost 5 in a row and to the Nationals. The 1992 team had hitting Justice, Gant, Pendelton, the hitter not the hitting coach. They had defense Lemke, Blauser, Nixon, Gant, Justice, D. Barryhill/ Greg Olsen. And Smoltz, Glavine, and Avery. This Team has Jason Heyward, B Mac, Tommie Hanson Moylan and Hudson. They don’t have the talent and they have to play against tougher competention, The Phillies the 2 time defending National League champs are in our division. In 1992 our biggest competitor was in another division, the Pirates. So when I say the Braves are DONE I have evidence to back it up.

My sense is that not one of the people who so regularly bash him on this blog would ever have the courage to make any of those comments to his face.

DOB- How about a story on who the Braves are considering as Bobby Cox’s replacement. Too early for that? I’m sure they’ve started looking around. It’s been maybe7-8 months since they announced it’s Bobby’s last year. I’m sure nobody inside the organization will go on the record. However, somebody somewhere must have been talked to.
How about more on the Chipper-Jordan flap. What is really the deal with all Chipper’s injuries.? Remember when Smoltz called out Chipper a couple years ago. What’s his training routine?
Here’s another one: John Hart (former Indians GM) On MLB-TV said “don’t be surprised if Bobby Cox is not retiring–that he’s managing a team other than the Braves next year. What?! That’s begs all sorts of questions. Does Bobby really want to manage some more? Why not the Braves? Did he get pushed out the door a little bit. What really is his relationship with Wren? That’s what I’d like to read about. And thanks for allowing me the input.

Games should always start at a time that ends with :05 or :35.
Tell that to the Blue Jays. They start games at 7:07

Plug me into the 3 hole, I can hit as well as most of the guys you got in the lineup!

Playoffs –
1. Yes, it’s too early to worry about that. The time for starting to be concerned about that is the day after the season ends.
2. The Jordan/Chipper story has already been blown to about ten times what it should be. Enough of that.
3. Yeah, Daniels is a real authority on the Braves organization and Bobby Cox…

In the interest of accuracy, let me just add some observations to DOB’s praise of Glaus. Yes he was 3 for 29 before last night. One of the 3 was the pop fly to CF that Pagan lost in the sun on Saturday in NY. After loafing to first, Glaus barely made it to second (chug, chug).
One of his 2 hits last night was a seeing-eye, 20-bouncer up the middle that would have been a patented Glaus 6-4-3 had it been hit 20 feet to the left. Let’s see some actual power before we start proclaiming him an actual # 5 hitter.

I think that J Schafer could hit .204 so call him up. He will be hitting 80 points higher than Melkey, McClouth, and Glaus.
