Wow, Bourn’s comments sounded much more articulate when you read them than when you hear him say them…

Good job, Braves fans. You failed to get Bourn into the All-Star Game. Yippee.

Bourn lost out on a lot of the early votes. I’m sure most Braves fans voted Chipper and never thought to vote again.

Hmmm, Stanton has been out for a few games. Maybe Bourn will get to go to KC after all.

To follow up on what they are talking about on tv regarding Bourn possibly replacing Stanton:
Giancarlo Stanton indicated Thursday that the Marlins haven’t ruled out the possibility that he’ll undergo arthoscopic surgery during the All Star break to remove a loose body from his left knee.
That’s the last resort, of course. The Marlins have already ruled Stanton out for Friday’s game, but he will take part in full pre-game activities to test the readiness of his knee. He is questionable for the rest of the first half, as well as the Home Run Derby and All-Star Game.

Flande has a 4.79 ERA vs Lefties with a .280 BAA and a 3.22 ERA vs Righties with a .235 BAA

Freddi is going to be, already is, a good player. He, Simmons and Heyward would benefit greatly if the veterans would start hitting.

Annoying how they kept cutting to the dugout when it looked like BMac was working his shoulder or something after a couple odd swings. Once you could even see Fredi and Lovey kinda watching him. I’m like, “Hey!! Stop showing nothing in the dugout! I’m trying to watch!…
”
Just hafta keep an eye on this…if they let me…

How Francisco had a 16-pitch at bat earlier is beyond me because he swings at so much slop. I guess he did swing at ball four at least a couple of times during his at bat in the first inning though.
