It is really funny how some make those snide remarks to DOB then when he responds in his way of responding they just shrink up and start smooching up on him.

“Need to make Kennedy work, their bullpen sucks”

Yeah and our offense will make them all look like Mariano Rivera

Just in case this wasn’t mentioned last inning…INFANTE’S A FREAKIN’ RETARD!

Yet another Braves baserunning blunder. Blame the coaches. Somebody should have told Infante to plant his ass on second base with Heyward batting.

Stupid.

I’m glad we have Chipper hitting 3rd. Sure is a heck of a 3 hitter. Average down to .233…nice.

Line on Jo-Jo Reyes for his rehab outing tonight in Gwinnett….2 IP, one hit, no runs, no walks, two strikeouts. 23 pitches (7, 16)

Thanks Carroll. Jo Jo is one fine AAA pitcher, no doubt. Let him put up some good numbers down there and then trade him for whatever…

Thats a heck of a throw by the catcher there. Nice play. Right on the money. I wonder what its like to have a catcher who can throw.

Chuck James was Solid until the 6th!!!

I wasn’t kissing up on him. I didn’t say shite to begin with except wondering why he took all that time to respond to somebody explaining he was not on vacation when there was actual baseball to be talked of. That’s all. I didn’t know there were two people covering today, you would have figured they’d of had the update on Jurrjens. Now go shiver into a ball lady.

Carroll Rogers

Hard to tell on the angles they just showed on that replay at third. I could tell Heyward didn’t like the call – hence the dirt he threw. Maybe he got in on the back side of the base.

He we clearly out. Just a great throw. But with Chipper and McCann behind him, he felt like he had to get to third. They weren’t going to get a hit to drive him in.

Rob (from SC)

Last 80 games, 7 Homeruns. This is not a fluke. He is old and it is showing

Mr. Enigma

I have no idea what Heyward was thinking trying toi steal third when you’re down more than one run. Didn’t we just go through this with Jody Gerut and the Brewers on Thursday?

Mr. Jones wiffed with a man in scoring position, after calling him brethern out?

Heyward was out but only because of an absolutely perfect throw. I mean it was as perfect as a throw can be.

Right before I jump off the ledge, Rob.

Lil' Barry Bailout

Chipper’s 0.233 average is a quiet 0.233. Anybody remember the last time he had a hit that mattered?

MFin04

May 14th, 2010

At some point Braves management needs to stop pretending that Chipper and McCann aren’t hitting .233 and .237.

Rob begging for props on ripping Chipper daily? Stick to your guns RHR, even if Chipper is through he does not deserve the constant disrespect that Rob and a few others are always slinging around.

Wednesday. A pinch-hit double that drove in a run.

I thank Chipper for everything he has done. The problem I have is people like RHR still think he is a superstar and deserves no blame.

Based on their thinking, we should have Glavine and SMoltz in our rotation

“Wednesday. A pinch-hit double that drove in a run.”
–wasn’t that like the 9th run in a blowout win?

I believe the young Jonny Venters is up warming in the bullpen

MFin04

Wednesday. A pinch-hit double that drove in a run.- That hit didn’t matter. It was 7-2, or 8-2 at that point when he got the hit.

unproductive out by Chipper then bad decision by J-Hey. The rest of the players owe KK big time tonight.

Arizona is was 0-6 at home and swept by Milwaukee. Their only wins this month against Houston. Come on lets get back to fundamentals and get into their bullpen!

It’s a shame that KK kept them in the game and he gets nothing.

MFin04 – I hear you but after Bobby waited on Glaub and he turned it around, I think one of these guys will get going. I predict Brian over Chipper.

Chipper is at that Kirk Gibson point in his career where he wobbles up to the plate with his sore groin and hits the game winning pinch hit homer.

njbraves

Rob…. We get it, you think Chipper is done. No need to post it a million times. You’d think he was the first guy to ever strike out with a guy on second.

Lil' Barry Bailout

Good catch Mr. E, but the Braves were up, what, six runs at the time?

Not such a big deal.

Maybe Mac needs a weight clause like Horner’s. Horner evidently bought Big (Mac)s with his lard-bonus money. Kinda ironic when ya think about it.

Glaus has hit the ball hard all year long. McCann and Chipper have looked bad at the plate. There is a different. They have to come around for this team to win, but the management needs to put them in places in the order to succeed.
