Concerning KJ, could it be that pink ensemble he was seen in last evening with matching flats?

Love the Braves. I grew up in Alabama but moved to Australia about 20 years ago. Have a new baseball league in Australia now sponsored by MLB, so the game is growing here – very exciting.

@TNScott, he definitely is. I like when he’s just “effective” though – makes me less nervous. I keep waiting for him to hang one to Bautista.

Katherine – are you sure you did mean McCann throws like a girl? KJ safe by 10 feet even in the tutu. The throw may not have even been within 10 feet of the bag.

I thought minor did a good job last night
Me too. But all the haters on here are gonna say, well, he only went 5 innings. He pitched well enough for his team to win, and that’s all that matters. Hope he keeps this up.

The line on Medlen last night looks impressive.
LOL…that was a funny mistake by Braves TV…”Solo Homerun, First HR by Beachy this season” – Smoltz probably did that.

Folks I think Constanza will be the one sent back down when Chipper comes off the DL. The hot hitting didn’t even last 2 weeks this time.

I would LOVE to know what he said…:)
JNick

@ncbravesfan90 – could be – or could be Boscan. No reason to keep 3 catchers on the roster, now that Ross says he’s 100% again. We’re also down a man in the bullpen, so…could be both!
JNick

@cabravesfan, who gets called up for the bullpen?
cabravesfan
June 8th, 2012
8:37 pm
No idea where Bourn thought he was going, but he was nearly half way to 3rd on that…while Beachy was pretty much anchored on the 3rd base bag

Fols

If Constanza is unable to move a runner over…and the man on base is a pitcher….then he is no longer working in the 9 hole. He’s an energy boost, not an everyday player.
cabravesfan

JNick-
Don’t know- honestly don’t follow the minors much at all. But I bet they call up an arm for the pen…maybe Gearrin?
JNick

Sluggla up with the sacks full….
keylargo
June 8th, 2012
8:39 pm
I don’t agree with all this announcer BS about Beachy not scoring from third for whatever reason. He’s one of the top 5 athletes on the team and played baseball in college as an everyday player. He can run the bases.
JC Brave
June 8th, 2012
8:39 pm
Uggla….
Oh well…
ncbravesfan90
June 8th, 2012
8:40 pm
I’d say the arm would be Gearrin as well, he’s on the 40 man roster and has a nice 1.14 ERA as well.

Yeah, this is two nights in a row where Constanza couldn’t get a sac bunt down. Looked worse than our pitchers.
JNick
June 8th, 2012
8:40 pm
@nolie, maybe, but also don’t want to send Beachy into a possible collision with the catcher. Anyone else on base would have been sent, I think…

Look up Uggla’s numbers with the bases loaded since becoming a Brave. Or the team as a whole…

If JHey could’ve came through with that at bat with a base hit that probably would’ve ended this game imo. That’s the way JHey is though kills is one night and you think he’s gonna get it going and then he sucks the next night…
