Looks like the 2011 offense is creeping back in.McCann,Uggla,Janish,and the pitcher.Back to a 5 man batting order.

That was a lot closer at first than I thought possible when the ball popped away.
Sounds like the Perfect Game and No-Hitter bit the dust on that miscue.

“Another example tonight of why i think we lose a one game wildcard matchup….”
Offense is too dang streaky for anyone to feel good about a one game wildcard game. We could hit a Verlander, Strasburg, Kershaw or a top pitcher like that one night then get shutout by a pitcher with a 5+ ERA.

According to the broadcast, Stults is great the first time through the order (.076 BA against) but stinks it up the second time. I wouldn’t call “BALLGAME” just yet.

I’d expect Minor to be the one going to the bullpen at month’s end. Hanson is not going to the bullpen, just forget that option. So it’ll be either Medlen or Minor to the pen.
Hmmmm

Minor not very sharp but he’s managing to get out of trouble without them adding on, hope he can at least keep them from adding on

Keep pitching inside Minor – don’t mind the occasional hit batsman, but…2 on noone out, not a good start.

I don’t like the 1 game playoff for the Wild Card any more than anybody else, but why the doubt that we could win it? We have a pretty good record.
But heck, that’d force some of you folks to actually be a glass half full person I guess.

Just turned on #Braves. Should’ve kept up with Padres this year. To me, their lineup looks like Chase Headley and 8 lucky fans.

The Mike Minor we know is back tonight.
Hmmmm
August 13th, 2012

unfortunately for the Braves, the Padre pen is nearly as bad as the Mets (5th best out of 16) so getting to their pen might not change much
njbraves

Minor hasn’t been great, but you can’t win with no runs. Streaky offense at it again.
Hmmmm
August 13th, 2012

*isn’t nearly as bad.
they got behind early in Minor’s last start vs Hamels, and got shut them down. Got behind early last night, got shut down. Got behind early tonight … same thing

Through 5 innings the offense has ONE HIT – Minor wasn’t perfect, but he was pretty good, deserves better than he’s gotten his past 3 starts.
Braves O hasn’t scored when he’s pitched in about 21 innings??? (Consecutive) – Can that be right?

Glad I dont go to the park anymore. I said two months ago if we could switch managers I would want Black. Freddi moved Uggla up in the order because he hit in a few games. To me there both losers. Het Richards tomorrow another lost to a LH pitcher. 6 man rotation hell take Minor out they dont score any runs for him.

Not a single run the last 20 innings Minor has pitched. Did I hear that right?

No need to worry about the Padres bullpen, this will be a complete game shutout by Stults, only at 68 pitches.

Seriously, it feels like we give up entirely too many hits to opposing pitchers while our pitchers get next to none. I’d like to see a stat on that — how many hits we’ve given up to opposing pitchers.

And if Heyward’s bouncer off Alonso’s glove was an error, then it should have been ruled an error on Chipper, too. Chipper didn’t even have to move to field the one hit to him.
