Pitching Coach tossed – too funny. CB is not a good ump, but you knew that coming in

Martin can now make the pop bunt completely moot (and I apologize for not using the official blogism – would have said mute but someone would have undoubtedly corrected me)…

KevKat – not trying too jinx, he pitched out of the jam earlier (a skill some of our starters are still trying to master) – so….show them how to shut down a team after you get the lead.

Great job by Warthen. Those non calls were killers. Warthen got his moneys worth.

The muts are all fired up about a couple of calls against Bourn and when Bourn called time and stepped out of the box.

@Capt. Mudd: funny. Cuz every time I think of the Mets manager I want to say “Tom” Collins – a drink I love. The guy makes me thirsty.

Loved how Collins was trying to avoid getting thrown out by crossing his hands over his chest.

Nice sac, ‘Teen!

Santana will be at 90 pitches after this inning – think we see the bullpen early again. Sheets is probably going to go one, possible two more innings. Advantage Bravos

That’s why so many of us were “yelling” for FG to give JHey a chance at hitting lefties early in the year.

And Chipper once again hits against the Mets. You know they’ll be glad to see him gone in 2013

Wow! Sheets pitching a gem and the offense exploding in the 5th! What a game! BTW, NEVER TRADE PRADO!

Jerry

I like Santana and naturally I feel for him to a certain extent because he acts like a professional, but all 6 of those runs never should have happened. That being said, I am a Braves fan and I’ll live with it.

That inning was lots of fun. Hopefully there is no letdown by Sheets allowing the Mets to have a chance.

Santana isn’t the same pitcher since the injury. He’s fallen big time.

A LESSON FROM WARTHEN

Fredi needs to take a lesson from Warthen on how to support his players and argue a bad call — with fire!

so far, a great day for the home team

Hugo Z Hackenbush

And once again, this is why you don’t bet on baseball games…pitcher out of the league for two years vs. Santana…a real no-brainer, eh?

Mixxo

Someone predicted a 1-2-3 bot. 5th earlier.

Looks like that didn’t work out. :D

Y’all may have thought I was joking when I said….”hitting party!”

Sheets happens. So, does Bourn, Freddie, Martin, Chipper, JHey. And, a big BB for Janish. Big inning against Santana. Braves can now afford to pay worth for another pitcher, not more than value.

Mixxo

Smooth Janish…..smooth.
