keylargo,
You wouldn’t have gotten an argument from me with “Freddie 2 Scoops”. Has a gangland ring to it. And anything is better than that Fab Five Freddie trash.

Freddi is average at first, at best…

As I said, I’m a fan of Adam LaRoche, but Freeman is one helluva bargain (and a better overall player) at this point…

Beachy possibly going for a CG after this inning?

his picks have nothing to do with his lack of range. there are guys with as good a glove who aren’t fence posts

Carroll:
Maddux 1994 1.13
Glavine 2002 1.50
Jurjjens 2011 1.56
Maddux 1997 1.57
Lowest ERA through first 8 starts (since 1921)

yeah, nolie, I am with you, he had a pretty quick inning, would like to see him go back out there.

the 1994 season will not be beat. Maddux in his prime was as good as any pitcher to play the game, not as flashy, but just as good as anybody

Braves need to bat around, and add 3 – 4 more runs to take the Marlins completely ou of this game. Then Beachy can cruise to that complete game shutout.

I guess the concerns about Beachey not going deep enough into games are getting erased the way things are going now.
I sure wish that the same could happen to Minor and though Tommy Hanson has not been bad, we want more than 5 innings in the next start. We need to see Tommy give us a good 7 on a reasonably consistent basis. Next time I want 6 good IP from Tommy, is that too much to ask.
A needed win and overall, not a bad week, split vs the Reds and now a split vs the hated Fish.
On a note in another sport, how bout them Pacers, nice feel good story. Good for them and the Pacer fans, always thought they got screwed thanks to Metta World Peace. That team had a shot to contend and now the Pacers are in a position to make a long playoff run.
My definition of a good playoff run is to make it to a confrence final.

Great Effort by the Beach Man tonight
On a side note, was looking at wikipedia today, how appropriate that Minor’s picture on his page is of him watching a homer sail out that he had given up. Gave me a nice little laugh. Everybody else has a normal picture and his is one of distress.

Like it or not The only Braves fan, JJ was a good pitcher for us at times till he melted down early this yr.
What he has left, I don;t know. He won’t be tendered this off season so he will go somewhere else and try to make a comeback.
I hope he makes it back wherever it is.

I am serious about the way Beachey is pitching, I don;t know how long he can keep it up but its nice to see. We know one thing–he is doing better going deeper into games than he was as a rookie
