A bullpen ERA of 7 or 8 is about equal to what? Giving up 2 runs a game. I don’t think 2 runs is going to do it.

its only equal to 7 or 8 runs a game if their bullpen is out there for the full 9 innings… so yes, Min04 is right. if they are only out there for 3 innings then its like giving up a couple of runs…

No Braves HD feed tonight on DirecTV. D-Backs broadcast crew, which includes Gonzo, are the most boring duo. No enthusiasm whatsoever, even with their team up.

For those not following on TV:
The last time the Braves came back from a deficit of at least 4 runs after the 6th inning was June 2, 2009 against the Cubs last year. The Braves were down 5-0 entering the 8th inning and came back to win 6-5, scoring 3 in the 8th and 2 in the 9th. Jeff Francoeur hit a walk-off, two-run homer off Kevin Gregg.

I’m not sure why everybody assumes we are gonna score a bunch of runs tonight. Guy has an ERA just above 3.00. That’s pretty darn good for a guy who pitches in that offensive haven. Plus the Braves are likely all hit out from the Brewers spurt. Hoping for a reverse jinx here

How long can Chipper hang on to the third spot in the order? I would think that you have to do whats right for the team to win. What about having him in the 7 spot. when he starts hitting, move him back.

Steve, Pens were exhausted and Crosby just didn’t have a good series. All that being said, that was a game where you just needed Fleury to step up, and it just didn’t happen for whatever reason. Most important thing for 2010-2011 for them is to get a full consistent season from Fleury. I mean, it’s never really happened for him. Malkin, to a lesser extent, needs to have a great, top ten in points type year. I hear people saying on Pens blogs that they should trade Staal or Malkin for a winger…..I think that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Their strength up the middle(Crosby, Staal, Malkin) is what makes them who they are.

I sure hope that Jo Jo is left in Gwinnett after his rehab starts. The last thing this team needs is a pitcher that absolutely cannot win at the major league level.

Go Arizona! Only state brave enough to enforce the law. Let’s go to Mexico and see how long we can stay there illegally. Never paid much attention to the legal status of people before, but I will now. If baseball pull out because of this, I will never watch another game.

Kawakami probably deserved a better fate tonight. Our pen has a pretty good ERA, but they seem to let a lot of KK’s inherited runners score. Dude has deserved better.
Medlen is looking like a stud! If he puts in another good start against the Mets, KK might end up being the 5th man.

Efrim–I agree, but I do think they rely too strongly on Crosby and Malkin because they do lack a bit of depth, but that’s ok for the most part because you have Crosby and Malkin. I know you probably like Fleury, but I think he’s a bit of a headcase. He’s too talented to be turning into a sieve as often as he does. He would just make me nervous were I a Pens fan.
What do you think they’ll do with Gonchar?

I have a question for those of you out there criticizing Chipper… if he didn’t give a crap, why didn’t he just retire LAST YEAR? I mean, really, he’s well enough endowed financially, it wouldn’t hurt him. I mean really, some people just LOOK like they don’t, but I think he does.

Tomahawkin – the organist doesn’t play songs because he thinks they’re good. He plays something clever that goes with whoever is up to bat for the other team. UPTON – UPTOWN … .get it?
