Samardzija was pretty good up till these last few starts. Unfair to think of him as a junk pitcher. Guy has great stuff, just spotty command. He’s on tonight. It happens.

Even the Braves telecasts are bland. There’s a website where you can vote for your favorite Fox baseball reporter … But her on Fox Sports South we have Tom Hart. Nice guy but give me some eye candy. Frank Wren might sign up Bea Arthur for the gig.

The Uggla / McCan’t combo continue to completely suck. Brian has been worthless since last August, and Worthless Dan has, for 5 weeks, played the same inept baseball, as his first 4 months of 2011. They are nothing, if not consistently bad.

McCann should learn to go with the pitch to left
Why? He’s making $13M a year to be a lump and hit .222.

I guess Parrish wasn’t as clueless as many of us made him out to be. Maybe we just have a group of hitters who are way too stubborn and,or just not as good as some lead you on to believe.

Samardzija came into this game with a 4+ ERA, and is taking the Braves’ lunch money the 2nd time through the order.
Maybe the third time through the order will be the charm.

Fredis quotes tomorow will be:
We hit into bad luck with Bourny itting a linedrive and doubling off Simmy
You gotta tip your cap to their pitching
We had some good at bats tonite…its coming..we will put up some crooked numbers..just wait n see
We will get on that bird friday and try ro beat a really good Philly team

Hopefully Hanson brought a shut-down inning with him.
Hate seeing the offense struggle to tie the game and immediately the pitcher gives the lead back.

Jason needs to recognize an offspeed pitch. Samardzija made him his bitch in that at bat.

“And we are tied. I know some of you will be greatly disappointed…”
Glad we tied it. Still disappointed that we only have 1 run on 3 hits with 10 K’s through 6. Not acceptable against a last place team.

Watch Hanson go out in the 7th and allow the Cubs to take the lead. That would be typical of the way things have gone lately for the Braves.

Think Cox knew something about JHey always hitting him 2nd? Seems like he shines there and puts way too much pressure on himself hitting 3rd.

What they normally do in this situation is give the run right back.
