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.

#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

The thing I like most about Medlen is that he just throws strikes. He rarely beats himself.

Why would JJ still be on the team come playoff time?

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.

JJ is a black hole and needs to go.

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.
