No no no Pete. Even Joe Simpson said it. It didn’t bounce, it skimmed. Don’t look now though, the Braves are about to blow another inning.

An out was going to be made there- at least the guys were all wise enough to move up so we still have runners in scoring position

I don’t know really who to blame but it seems like almost every Braves pitcher gets ahead of a batter and then starts to pick around the corners instead of attacking…

Oh it was definitely a strike on there, but the Padres didn’t get that call a bit ago so its even now.

Yeah….Maholm wants to lose.
brian

still trying to figure out why pitchers try to sneak a fastball by Uggla. He can tomahawk the high pitches as well. SHould be nothing but breaking balls, especially with 2 strikes

Geebus. Volquez must have swung about 2 feet above that curve ball.
Trainer is going to have to untie the knots that Volquez twisted himself in.

Maholm was definitely “lights out” on those last two batters. Maybe he settles down now.

not the quick top half of the inning I was hoping for but kept them scoreless anyway. Time to jump back on Volquez

Uggla has 8 extra-base hits (3 HRs) and 16 RBIs in past 16 games, after hitting .110 w/ 4 extra-base hits and 9 RBIs in previous 42 games.

So, the Braves have 2nd and 3rd with no outs and don’t score. The Braves are bumbs.
The Padres strand the bases loaded with one and and the Braves pitching is outstanding. Got to the weak part of the Padres order and shut them down.

McFann, I just read your comment on the previous blog, since I have been sleeping pretty much the whole day. Yeah, I know all about that wisdom teeth thing. They pulled mine out, in boot camp, on my 20th birthday. All they did was give me Novacaine, in my gums. I was conscious through the whole thing. At least, they put you to sleep for that
TuffShhhtuff
August 15th, 2012
8:30 pm
Thought I would try to “cheer” you up even more “SP”. These numbers should do it.
Uggla -earned approx. 72% of salary so far this year so that’s 15 HRs @ $624,000 per HR AND
with 62RBI @ $151,000 per RBI
Taint pretty when you get it down to the penny is it? As I said, a part time hitter making $13M per yr.

I will take that run. Volquez would have got Janish at home but no way any other IF would have. Too bad volzquez didn’t hit that ball a little higher and further in the air

Good job Jason. I really like the direction he is headed. I know our offense looks helpless at times, but with Heyward, Freeman, Prado, and Simmons we do have a good core of talent. Can’t wait to see what Wren decides to do this winter. No way does he stand pat like last year. We got pieces to fill.
