Just get out of the inning with the lead. Captain K will take care of the rest.

huge strikeout there

Might need Craig to get a 4-out save.

Going to the 9th with the lead…that’s a good thing!

We might be getting a top RP somewhere before all is said and done. Everybody as been average or below other than Kimbrel.

Losing Furcal is still hurting the Braves.

That was close….

Nice job, EOF?

@cabravesfan…How you doing tonight? Tough one fro Huddy, but Braves win will be soothing.

I was screaming for Durbin’s head after the first couple of weeks of the season. He was pathetic! He was a rally for the opposition when he entered the game!

Hate to say it but I agree with Jason. Durbin is pitching pretty well of late while Venters is pathetic and EOF is up one day and down the next.

CaptMudd-

I’m OK. Tired. How ’bout you?

yeah cab, we are still winning, however tedious that might be.

Where is Cory Gearin? I liked that dude, he was pretty good most times. Nothing all that special, but had a lot of Moylan in him and thre harder. Oh and he’s from my parts

The last time EOF gave up a run was on May 7th.

Our pitching really has gone to hell this season.

Just not used to seeing this yet.

Hope Kimbrel is Durbinesque tonight….lol

How is winning tedious?

CaptMudd

May 30th, 2012
9:38 pm

@cabravesfan…yea, tired due to overwork at the new house and, of course, the southern heat/humidity.

ohhhhYEAH

May 30th, 2012

i hope kimbrel is kimbrelesque

CaptMudd-

That’s a good reason to be tired :) I was up all night with a crying dog

bunting Bourn here is huge. Pastornicky is fast but with Bourn running to first the fielder has really no time to try and decide to throw to first or make an attempt at second

CaptMudd – the only thing between me and a knee replacement is 25 miles a day on my bicycle. I can feel the stiffness and range of motion reducing after about 2 days of not riding.

I went for a month last year to New Smyrna Beach. I bought a month pass to Cape Canaveral National Seashore and rode that entire park area every day. That is one of the most undiscovered parts of Florida I can think of. All of that land around Cape Canaveral is obviously undeveloped but then you have Mosquito Lagoon and Merritt Island to name a couple.

I’ll go back there again late this fall to enjoy some temperature changes. :mrgreen:

Gearrin and his 0.91 ERA are stuck at AAA.

brian

I love Fredi bunting Prado there and Prado’s willingness and ability to bunt. Perfect

brian

cabravesfan

9:41 pm

Gearrin has struggled int he majors at times, but I’m thinking he will be called up after the Nats series when the team sends Boscan back down…

brian

May 30th, 2012
9:41 pm

that will do just fine!!!

way to go Uggla

Why do you bunt the first pitch after 8 straight balls?

At least take a strike.

BFChris27

cabravesfan

That will work…getting that run in is the most important thing

JNick

9:42 pm

Ok, what happeend to the real Uggla…he goes oppo-field again???

CaptMudd

May 30th, 2012
9:42 pm

@Key…sounds very stimulating and, a boost to your cardio training program I would assume–challenging:)

brian

Freeman went for HR number 2 there. Felt the breeze in NC with that swing

nolie

May 30th, 2012
9:42 pm

opposite field fly ball by Uggly to foil their dastardly plan

phil

May 30th, 2012
9:42 pm

Uggla tries to make up for the goof up….

Good job.

Yeah- I mean, it’s not like it was flawless or anything

Fred-EEEEEEEEEEEE

ohhhhYEAH

May 30th, 2012
9:42 pm

2K91, bc it got two runners into scoring position, both of which have now scored

brian

May 30th, 2012
9:42 pm

single works well to Freddie – great to have him back!!!!

BFChris27

May 30th, 2012

Love it!!! Our team is back.

ohhhhYEAH

May 30th, 2012
9:43 pm

And now comes Wayward, the rally killer

brian

May 30th, 2012
9:43 pm

shows how strong freddie is there – inside pitch, hands pulled in and still got it out into RF

CaptMudd

May 30th, 2012
9:43 pm

Kudos to the Skipper

I think any questions about why Freddie was struggling after the Colorado series have been answered.

phil

Chip couldn’t even tell it was a hit til it bounced….

Must be into the booze.

Heyward is awful.

I hate it when folks pile on, but even I gotta admit that Jason looks really lost in a lot of his at bats

Brava

May 30th, 2012
9:46 pm

Indeed, Capt. :)

phil

May 30th, 2012
9:46 pm

Well done, FF.

We sure need him and Mac to help fill in the cavern in the lineup that is Jason…

Nativebird

Three words: Jason Heyward: Bust.

ncgary

May 30th, 2012
9:46 pm

someone had to make an out there so kimbrel gets the save

David

May 30th, 2012

Would Jason benefit from a AAA stint? He looks lost.

Joe in SoCal (not as miffed)

nice inning by the bravos right there…put the heat right back on ‘em.

CaptMudd

May 30th, 2012
9:46 pm

@cabravesfan….What happened to the pooch which led to this episode you spoke of earlier via post?

Rilo

May 30th, 2012

no walks please….no walks

CaptMudd

May 30th, 2012

We are “Free–Man” of that poor streak…onward Bravos, onward with vigor!

CaptMudd-

Just an upset stomach – VJ, God bless him, took her out twice at 4:00 & 5:00 this morning…I was up from around 2:00 until about 6:00 and had to be up at 7:15 to go to the gym…long night :)

cabravesfan

May 30th, 2012
9:49 pm

Kimmie knew that was a strike :)

JNick

May 30th, 2012
9:49 pm

Oh sit down Freese, that pitch was right in there….

CaptMudd

May 30th, 2012
9:50 pm

Kimbrel…froze him…he be Freesed!!! :(

brian

May 30th, 2012
9:51 pm

1 more Kimbrel – looking great so far

JNick

May 30th, 2012
9:51 pm

Kimbrel is nasty again tonight…

Ric Flair to Right

May 30th, 2012
9:51 pm

Hey-Bust has to have to the biggest hole in his swing I’ve ever seen…then top it off he might have the slowest bat in the bigs…I just dont see him being anymore than a bench player…hopefully I’m wrong and he figures it out

Powder Blue

May 30th, 2012
9:51 pm

Kimbrel is a beast.

brian

May 30th, 2012

Minor versus Strasburg – why should I be concerned?

Joe in SoCal (not as miffed)

May 30th, 2012
9:51 pm

thats the kid we know and love…put this baby to bed!

2K91

May 30th, 2012
9:51 pm

OYEAH

I agree with the bunt but lets make the pitcher finally throw a strike – he might have walked Prado which would have also moved the runners into scoring position without giving up an out.

Prado could have bunted after the pitcher threw him a strike.

JNick

May 30th, 2012
9:52 pm

That slider should be outlawed…that was wicked…lol

cabravesfan

Wow- the Mariners are up 17-0 (NOT a typo) over the Rangers in the 5th inning

brian

I will say it again – stick with the heater!!

JNick

Way to field that one with your purse, Hack…

brian

9:53 pm

who is at SS now??? Seriously?? Come on Jack

Powder Blue

May 30th, 2012
9:53 pm

Again, why do we even bother to run Pastornicky or Wilson out there?

nolie

May 30th, 2012
9:53 pm

If this is not the worst defensive infield that I have ever seen, it sure does a great impression…

brian

May 30th, 2012
9:54 pm

that;s OK Kimbrel – I know you wanted to strike out the side!!!

phil

May 30th, 2012
9:54 pm

Send Kimbrel to AAA….

Stretch him out.

Start him every game. Complete games. He can do it. No one else seems to be able other than Durbin.

phil

Hack looks at the ground as if the ground caused that pathetic play at short…..

Give us a break.
