Melky obviously forgot the kid is a rookie. If he’d been here for more than a couple months, he’d know to hit a weak ground ball to the second baseman.
Melky has definitly improved and is playing around what was expected, but a huge bounce back like this makes him a trade piece if we decide to upgrade the outfield.
Well i still have a hell of a lot more confidence in Medlen – a couple of nice catches earlier or not. Sometimes a pitchers need the guys to make a nice play behind em.
A few hard hit balls in one inning isn’t going to change 13 starts where it looked like i was watching the home run derby every 5th day.
I would be scared if our manager called for a bunt with our pitcher with two outs. I would fear he was having a stroke and thought Kris Medlen was Otis Nixon. Chief.
alright Mitchell. you’ll learn when some player retires citing all the pressure of the AJC DOB board. Your careless anger has the power to inflict great harm on our team.
You should be much more careful with your insults and disdain. After all Chipper posted here several time as Diaz and others were here too. You wield much more power for destruction than you know.
Avery looks like he could still pitch. But then again he wasn’t around that long….Only had 3 or 4 good years and 11 season as a pro…but yeah he looks good.
Avery hasn’t aged a day. Dude was a dominant lefty back in the early nineties, and I personally believe he would have been the fourth horseman of the apocalypse, had he not gotten hurt early on. Great to see Steve again.
Nova Scotia Steve….I met some folks from there in Cancun several years ago….they were nice and could out-drink me (I swear)….(and they were worried about Bears going through their garbage at night…..) NUTS!!
Noleeee, your comments to Mitchell should apply to all of us. We don’t realise the power the blog truly has. No, I’m not just tootin our horn! Ask DOB, if yall don’t agree.

Doggone American League. They used to suck. That’s been a while ago, and maybe it coincides with the arrival of the DH. I’d like to see the NL go with the DH too, only to even things out.
