Just triple checking…

That WAS 3 consecutive outs for Linebrink?

Gonzo to swing wildly at 3 high fastballs…this will not be surprising.

“That WAS 3 consecutive outs for Linebrink?”

Now THAT’S how to make an exhausted reliever work hard! Do we have a lick of sense collectively as a team? My bad…stupid question.

Another player was simply trying to hit a homerun. Nobody is attempting to work the count and get an inning start in a positive manner.

Linebrink is settling down well, now we need offense, and deeper performances by starters give all the bullpen guys some much needed rest.

That’s typical Don Sutton…he stinks doing play by play. Speaking of stinks, that would be our offense…

MOST PITCHERS GET A 5 RUN LEAD AND CRUISE TO AN EASY WIN

LOWE GET A 5 RUN LEAD AND PISS IT AWAY IN RECORD TIME

THAT MAN NEEDS TO BE TRADE BAIT, SON. I DONT CARE IF THE BRAVES HAVE TO EAT PART OF HIS CONTRACT. GET RID OF THAT MAN. YALL GOTS 2 KIDS IN THE MINORS ALREADY TWICE AS GOOD AS LOWE.

And hey, thank Lowe. You da man! Fu**** choked up a 5 run lead. Unreal.

Im sorry, but this offense had it coming.

We have no speed…we can’t hold runners on…McCann isn’t very good defensively….does that help?

And by the way, we’re in big trouble…

If the Braves see more than 6 pitches this inning it will be a moral victory.

Sherrill and position players (how cool would it be if the Reds got beat by another position player??)

Phils used their 2nd base to pitch the Reds on their marathon game. Maybe Uggla is a better pitcher than hitter.

YALL GOTS TO FIND A WAY TO WIN THESE GAMES, CUZ U GONNA BE IN A LOT OF EM. SOLID BULLPEN CAN HOLD TEAMS IN CHECK, BUT YOUR LIMP-DICK OFFENSE GONNA BE IN A LOT OF TIGHT GAMES, WHICH MEANS A LOT OF EXTRA INNINGS.

Which position player would you like to see pitch for the braves? Wilson Valdez had obviously pitched before in his life, he was tossing up 88-89mph fastballs with relative ease.
