Wonder why it’s OK for an infielder to deceive a runner like Uggla did on that flyout to JHey, but it’s a balk if a pitcher deceives a runner at first? Lots of inconsistencies in baseball.
David O’Brien @ajcbraves
#Braves manager Fredi G gave backhanded compliment to Francisco today, said defense wasn’t bad. Said he’s as good as a 40-year-old Chipper
Beacause he’s on it now and you have to have someone to put in the 25th slot. Is baseball this difficult for you to grasp?
I know that, and I’m telling you that he shouldn’t/won’t be on the 25 man roster come playoff time. There’s no reason, the guy sukks. Maholm is gonna take his roster spot with Gearrin staying up here, at least that’s what I hope.
The Braves ought to sweep the Marlins. Miami is so depleted by trades that now they are more like a AA team. Even Uggla should be able to get some hits from such a lousy team.
and with the bases loaded..on a three two count..Lee gets out of it unscathed…meanwhile…Strasburg stayed on the bases all inning and we all know how much he loves the heat!
Greg Walker has done something I have never seen… He has gotten the hitters to take pitches. Clerance Jones, Don Baylor, Terry Pendleton or Parrish couldnt do it. I am amazed
Medlen’s averaging just over 10 pitches an inning. Nolasco’s averaging about 25. Gotta love it. Let’s get into their ‘pen and ruin it for the rest of the series.
Actually, they were working the count in 2010, too. Not to this extent, but that’s why our offense dropped off so badly last year is because we stopped working the count.
McCann has 9 HR and 21 RBI in 18 games beginning 7/5, same day Braves began the 16-5 run they’re on now. Hitting .306 with 1.100-plus OPS in that period.
