Chicken or the egg – are these kids’ essays and papers so bad because they can’t be bothered to learn anything and express anything themselves, or because they’ve all gotten the idea of “short cuts” from someone “teaching” them how to write an essay to get into a “good” school?

It’s amusing to see people whine about Freddie is so good for a bit and then so bad for a bit. Apart from the fact he’s 22, if it were that easy to be good game after game for 162, .400 wouldn’t be so damn hard to obtain!

You right, nolie. These kids think of themselves as self motivated. Teachers need to take that self image seriously and challenge them. Kids will rise to the challenge if you give them assignments they think are worth their time. That doesn’t mean they rule the roost, though. I got a lot of old school in me, enough to create assignments that make use of material I know will stretch them. If you study the election of ‘68, make read nixon’s convention speech, make em watch campaign commercials from that election, then come up with an assignment other than a test that makes em use the material. In a history class, for instance, kids would rather be the historian than the history student. Prolly more than two cents worth, but….

Hudson seemed a little rusty but he won us the game. Hudson is my favourite Brave. Nothing aganist Jones or Mac but I love the way Hudson competes. Imagine if we still had Derek Lowe.
He is the league leader in wins. Only if we could have traded Jurrjens instead of Lowe. With Lowe we could have had atleast 3-4 game lead over the Nationals. Lowe over Jurrjens/Delgado.

…plus Mitchell is reduced to saying “they didn’t deserve to win”. It isn’t enough to actually, you know, win; gotta deserve it.
Every so often, I realize that it’s actually the D&G folks here who are the real Pollyannas, for they think that every AB should be successful, every pitch should be on the black at the knees, the offense should never score fewer than a dozen, and pitchers should never give up a run. Now, if that isn’t a rose-colored view, I don’t know what is.

I feel bad for the kid, because he can’t have just an ordinary, run-of-the-mill slump like any player goes through.
Still, his line drive percentage is up, his flyball percentage is up and his groundball percentage is way down. As long as he keeps that up, he’ll start getting his hits again and plenty of them will leave dents on the wall or become souvenirs.
I know process without results is an impenetrable fog to plenty here, though, so should still be plenty of room for calls to trade the guy, LOL.

Don’t get me all excited now. He does that normally. A surge, then a swoon, then another surge. After several of those he begins hitting with consistancy.
I do think he’s surging stronger this year and at a higher level than he has in the past. Give him another month. By June 1 we ought to know what’s up with him in regard to being moved up or not.

Stat of the day:
The Braves’ bullpen has a 1.64 ERA over the last 12 games.
In that span, Medlen, Venters, O’Flaherty, and Durbin have combined to pitch 18.1 scoreless innings, with only 7 hits allowed, 7 walks, and 18 strikeouts.
Kimbrel has given up two runs in this interval (his only two runs of the season), and Hernandez and Martinez have given up five combined in 15 innings.

I eman, the pitching at both ends has been good, the offensive depth is allowing them to withstand slumpy players and still score runs, and the defense has been…OK, defense hasn’t been great, fine.

Haven’t been paying attention have you?
Diaz in my opinion doesn’t belong in the big leagues anymore. Jack Wilson can’t hit his way out of a paper sack. He’s here to play defense and mentor Pastornicky. Ross, Hinske and Francisco are good bench guys for sure.
But this what’s wrong with the picture. We DO NOT HAVE a utility player. The kind of versatile athlete who can play multiple positions….ergo – Omar Infante. We do not have a true fourth outfielder, someone who can back up all three outfield spots. These two role players are missing, and they will become an issue the deeper we get into the season.

Juan “Flailing” Francisco has struck out 31% of the time so far, and only walked 1 time. But 6 of his 8 hits have gone for XBH, 3 doubles and 3 homers leading to a massive 571 SLG

From the little I’ve seen, it looks like Heyward is being jammed again and not adjusting.
I didn’t get a chance to watch any baseball this weekend (I know, I’m not a real fan) but the few Heyward AB’s I’ve seen lately make me think that he’s just hitting the ball to where guys are instead of where they ain’t.
He’s not striking out much, he’s getting his share of walks… how do you jam a guy who stands as far away from the dish as the rules allow, yet who also has an excellent command of the strike zone?
He’ll come around again and those balls that he’s hitting to people will start dropping. So long as he doesn’t get discouraged and try to fix something that isn’t broken.

Matt Diaz should be used in LF everytime Chipper doesn’t play and there is a LHP going against us. Diaz is on the roster for 1 reason only. To hit LHP, you keep running him out there until he can’t hit them anymore.
Juan Francisco should be used at 3B everytime Chipper doesn’t play and there is a RHP going against us. Francisco clearly cannot hit LHP, but mashes RHP.

This problem is gonna jump up and bite them in the butt sooner or later.
And you’ll be right there to brag about it

Again, no. I’m pointing out the problems before they become problems. Preventive maintenance prevents breakdowns. Wren will probably address these problems before the all-star break. and should he not…then I’ll be all over his butt, like white on rice, like stink on dodo, like sharks in the water. Then again, if Wren fixes the minor leaks, then I’ll be the first to praise the man’s baseball acumen. p.s. Wren has got this pitching thing down to a science.

Prado plays 2nd, 3rd and LF (could play first, too). Francisco plays first, third and outfield. Hinske plays first and outfield. Diaz plays corner outfield and catches. Wilson plays short and third. Seems to me that we don’t really need a utility player/
