When was the last time the braves had 2 pitchers hit homers in a season?
I’m guessing it had to be back during the Mike Hampton DL era?

He does this goofy half-swing, stop and strike a pose thing in between every pitch…

We have found our number 3 starter for the playoffs.
His name is DEREK “BUZZED” LOWE.
YAAA!!!!
Now all we need is to find our 4th starter.
DEREK LOWE RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m telling you folks (some know), that Gonzo and Freeman deserve more credit than they are getting for this teams success this year. Their D has made a huge difference in our team.
As much as I’d love to see ole Sea Bass getting his OBP up, he’s still a huge asset!

Lowe might end up being very crucial down the stretch for this team. Even a solid outing every 5th start will be extremely helpful.
We need either Hanson or Jurrjens back though……

I just went to mlb.com and to the Braves’ boxscore and saw “Diaz, RF” and thought, “Is there another RF in baseball who’s last name’s ‘Diaz’???” I then learned it indeed was Matt Diaz, as I hoped.
Welcome back, Matt. You’re certainly one of my favorite Braves of all time.

“Not everyone likes that garbage, though.”
Clearly McCann is, though.
I am not a huge fan of the T-Pain/Khaled branch of hip hop music but it has its time and place.
It would appear Freddie Freeman’s taste in hip hop is better since he goes with Lupe Fiasco for his at bat music.

But in the end, he shuns the dark side and saves Luke, so he is actually the positive one.

“BTW, just because Mac uses that music, doesn’t mean he particularly likes it. I’ve heard him say several times he uses rap because it gets him more pumped up than the country he prefers.”
As far as I can remember he’s had some rap song or another for at least three years now; before this one he had “Amazing” by Kanye West. Of course as long as he keeps hitting home runs and making All Star teams he can listen to polka for all I care.
