Our pitchers except Lowe, Is just as good as the Phillies. Our bullpen is just as good as the Phillies. Our hitters are just as good as the Phillies. But the Phillies always find a way to win. And that’s the difference in these 2 teams !

I keep reading about Hunter Pence, well let me ask you, look at Mclouth, and Uggla two park adjusted hitters now look at where Pence plays, do we really want to go down that road a third time?

Hello every one! Sorry about the lose,but we still are in second place,and we still have the Wild Card. Had a bad feeling on Lowe. Thats why I didn’t come on before work today,but we have Jar tomorrow, and more of a chance to win.Don’t trade Hanson. Trade Lowe,Agone,Nate, and put in K.K. for a package. Some one would want that.

Lowe and KK Ward? 21.7 million worth of rubbish! with all due respect, i mean that honestly. There is no one under God’s green earth that will take on those two turds.
NO ONE!
face it at seasons end McLouth 7.75 will be gone, KK 6.75 mill will be gone, Gonzalez 2.5 mill might be gone,other than that the Idiot in Charge has handcuffed the payroll of this team with Jones, Uggla, and Lowe!

38 million dollars tied up in 3 useless players, couple that with the need for an additional starter, gaping hole in CF, arb for Jurrjens, and possibly the loss of your starting SS this team is in the toilet big time, with only 15 mil to spend.
a quality bat say Kemp(9) mill or some player of that ilk, leaves 6 mill for 3 spots!
hardly a position of leverage.

DOB, it’s early, yes I look at the standings, but I also watch every game and what I see is pitching holding this team up right now, but as they wear down, I will say this team is a 4th place club. even if they finish in 2nd there will be no wild card, no playoffs, and moving forward no better! I am not biting on this club this year, just like being in 1st last year and dropping the ball, it is what it is, Heyward, Hanson, Schafer? I gotta ask are you kidding me? go ahead pin your dreams of playoffs on these overrated over-hyped kids if you want. I see it differently.

I will quizz you another, when was the last time other tha Adam Wainwright the Braves developed a bona fide ace? Hint see Tom Glavine,John Smoltz era! no Aces, and no sluggers other than Andruw, and Chipper.
poor ingresients for success there, either Bobby Cox was pure genius, or one lucky SOB!

Gregg Maddux was the Ace!

JoeBrave
June 25th, 2011
4:09 am
Sure Doggie won a lot of games but I would say Smoltz was the Ace, no one could do what he did! want him to start okay 7 innings of dominate ball, need him to close okay 50 saves! I would say Smoltz was more of the ace.

Fred Mcgriff,was a great hitter. Justice was good.Mac is pretty good.Uggla is good. He will only get better.Murphy was good hitter, Bob Horner was a good hitter.J. Lopez could hit. Our team was based on defense, and solid pitching too.

not since 98-99 have the braves developed a true power hitter, 21 hr from McCann does nt qualify, I am talking 35+ hr.
not since 88-90 with the lone exception of Wainwright have the Braves developed a true ACE!
Scouting, and development have taken quite a nosedive since Bobby Cox stepped away from the GM post!
Schuerholz only reaped what Cox planted!, and Wren well he is still hunting a clue!

Uggla? we’ll see, some think he will get better, I think he was park adjusted just like Nelson Cruz, Hunter Pence, Nate mcLouth, put them in a pitchers park and CLUNK! leave the small park hitters to the small park teams.
By the way Justice, Lopez, Murphy, Horner were all pre 1998

Last night’s game was a tragedy. Hopefully Braves got all their yips out on that one.
You had to know that the San Diego series was going to be a let down on offense. Their pitching is pretty good.
Giving up 11 runs to the SD offense should have the boys hanging their heads in shame.

I want Braves to be first in the east, I grew up seeing my team in first but now fans are okay with a 2nd place finish? what happend to our 90’s pride that we had? Did we focus on the wildcard back then?

I would love to trade Lowe to the Yankees for Nunez. Yankees need a started and we could use a shortstop for next year. Perfect move but I don’t think the Yankees would make that trade. Wish Braves would have called up Gearrin instead of Asencio I don’t understand that move at all. Also I would love to trade for Chris Heisey of the Reds he can play all the outfield positions and is righthanded.

C’mon Veer, we all want the Braves to be in first place. But most of us are damned happy to be in 2nd place at this point in the season, considering that our offense has been pretty much non-existant (except for Mac, Chipper and glimpses from others……)
When (if?) the bats get untracked, if the pitching holds, the Braves could be formidable this year.

Pretty cool to see Jurrjens and Hanson 1st and 2nd in the NL in ERA. Also JJ is tied in win with 9. Both guys should get some cy young consideration and certainly atleast one of them will be in the AllStar Game.
My Spring Training Predication was Brian McCann would have a monster season and be a dark horse MVP candidate. So far i’ve been right, there’s just no way he doesnt get some votes playing the Catchers position and being the clear cut best offensive player on the Braves. Right now among everyday players he’s top 10 in Slugging and OPS. Also to note among he has the least amount of K’s of the top 10 OPS hitters. He’s also 4th in the NL in Intentional Walks.
I believe McCann will flirt with almost 30 homers this year, and eclispe the 100 RBI for the 1st time in his career. He’ll be a top 10 MVP candidate.

Do you seriously think any of us care that you’re fed up with people who have no control over what the Braves do on the field? Proud of being in second? Hardly you damned fool – we’re just aware that complaining about it on a daily – hell, much more frequently than daily – basis changes nothing.
We don’t hit, we don’t field, we don’t pitch. All we do is remain awake and watch while these occasional bad games occur. Nothing whatsoever that we do affects anything on the field. We can’t change personnel. We can’t even ask for changes cause the process doesn’t include us.
As for not realizing that a three game losing streak puts us under the Wild Card leader? WTF? It’s still June. There’s half a season left. There are players that will return from the DL. There’s the potential for a deal to get more offense. Why are you even concerned about the Wild Card with three months of baseball left in the season? You don’t think that the WC lead will change a multitude of times by the end of September? Why are you even concerned about the WC before September anyway?
Yeah, we want the Braves to be in first place, too, but realize that not only is it not under our control, but it’s still too early to be freaking out – much less to be pissed off at the fans for not slitting our throats or jumping off a bridge.

He was halfway to the house, making that familiar walk from the barn across the gravel he had brought in last summer. A hot Virginian sun was setting, another day on the farm was coming to an end. As he looked out across the yard something caught his eye. A baseball. Not the white baseball you buy in stores…but a ball that had seen some mud and was ready for a game. The kind of ball he used to strike fear in the hearts of batters with. He looked out across the pasture and smiled. How’d that get there. But then he looked down at his hand. There was no ring there. Not that he’d wear a World Series Ring around the farm…but that didn’t matter…it wasn’t there. He looked out across the pasture again…south…toward Atlanta. The smile was gone. His jaw tightened. It was time.

Are these the numbers of a World Series caliber team? The last place, worst team in baseball, Astros have scored more runs than the Braves. The Pirates have a better batting average and OBP than the Braves. The punchline Royals have a higher OPS, and half of their team is Braves cast-offs.

As I said every team in the has has some really bad games… No reason to freak out. People that just wanna bash the offense and use numbers and compare us to other teams , why dont you try be positive and doing that same exact thing with our pitching cause it shows we have the best overall pitching staff in all of baseball, We have a offense that has struggled most of the year but hey we have the 2nd Best record in the NL, this offense easily has the chance to be great. Heyward is starting to hit, you have to think Dan Uggla will produce eventually and we dont even have Prado right now. We’ve had injuries as well and wouldnt you know it were still one of the best teams in the league, so quit crying please.

Veer– you do realize that Gonzo is producing and playing to his norm right? He is who we thought he was. He’s played excellent defense and provided a little pop and has his usual very low OBP. How can you place blame on him? He’s done what is expected.

IVAN – I’m fine – Just Jousting With the Idiots (sounds like a new game show). (Lew)
That’s funny, Lew.
“Jousting With the Idiots”, a new game show originally spawned on the in-game blog. It’s popularity spread to the overnight blog and now has finally reached the morning crowd.
Cable will probably air it next, and if successful, maybe a major network. Can you say, “prime time”?
Unfortunately, only ONE character plays the majority of the idiots. He’ll probably hire Boras as his agent.
Good morning, Venice Jim. What time are you two going to San Diego, today?

Interesting quote by Freddy last night after the game. Just stating the obvious of course when it comes to the offense…but you have to think that upper management is trying to look for ways to improve this team offensively. I just don’t see their pitching staff keeping them in this many games for the remainder of the season. Does anybody else???
