I tried to be Murph-like, insightful; intelligent; confident; etc…….re: Uggs….I am not that insightful obviously.

would be nice to give Venters and Kimbrel the day off. If Beachy gets through 7, maybe Meds can finish it off.

Beacahy has retired 11 in a row since Braun’s single in the third. at 88 pitches after six

Bourn hasn’t lost the ability, Umpires are lazy and just assume things. Just because it was a great throw to 2nd base and it beat the runner doesn’t mean its a automatic out, The fielder still has to tag the runner…. MLB really needs to address this issue. Same thing happened to me in softball last night at a play at the plate. He tagged me on my head when I slide but I clearly touched the plate 1st..

Amazed that Beachy is through 6 innings. Feeling good about Hanson, Minor, and Beachy right now. Can’t wait to see how Huddy looks when he gets back.

So far, this is a well played baseball game by the Braves.
Really impressed by Beachy’s composure. Could have ‘lost’ it after that second, but got right back in there and has continually challenged the batters. Good performance.
And by Nick’s estimation (Uggla is horrible), we’ll see at least one more run: Uggla HR.

FF’s gonna find some holes soon.
BTW, it’s weird how many Braves have alliterative first and last names. Brandon Beachy, Freddie Freeman, Jair Jurrjens, Mike Minor…

Jerry

katherine, that shortstop’s name is Simmons and he is currently hitting .400 in the minors. And I agree, can’t wait to see him playing up here. I don’t even care if he hits because he is worth the price of admission just to see him play defense.
Lawton

yes, Jason. Heyward’s liner to left was a bullet.

Yeah. Seeing guys like that Marine reminds me why it’s so annoying when Joe whines about players being “fatigued” in July…

even Gamel thought that was a strike
katherine

Umm, when even the hitter thinks its a strike, chances are, IT’S A STRIKE
bravesgrl4life

Another missed call on that pitch. Gameday shows it as a strike.

Time to pull Beachy.
JasonInFL

It is so hard to get a feel for how close the pitches are on Gamecast. Every pitch except the 1st and the last were strikes according to Gamecast.
VaBravesFan
April 15th, 2012

All 3 of those balls called inside are clearly strikes on gameday… not even borderline.
katherine
April 15th, 2012

so much for home field advantage…twice the umps have screwed the braves so far

Here comes the trouble for Beachy, little good can come from a lead off walk for him.

Can FG manage not to use the big three today unless it gets tight?
bravesgrl4life

VaBravesFan

Terrible calls, clearly over the inside of the plate, it wasn’t even close.
JasonInFL
April 15th, 2012

I don’t like to harp on the umps too much, but baseball does need to do something in regards to the strike zone. It is clearly defined. It needs to be called consistently as defined in the rule book, IMO.

Also, I swear Bobby’s constant chirping used to get the pitchers a strike or two later in the game. Fredi just sits there…

That double play helped a great deal. Fine outing from Beachy to go along with Minor’s superb outing on Saturday. Now the Bullpen needs to record 6 outs with at least a 4 run lead.

Beachy really settled down. Still has a long way to go but if that’s the type of performances we get can get from No. 4 and No. 5 5-7 times this season we’ll be in it for the distance.
Need Huddy back.
