Us real fans know this team is very good and have the potential to go all the way. We have belief, hope and support. Not hate.
One step at a time. One game at a time. Starting with tonight.

I’m really tired of Chip and Joe making excuses…Ross has to make that play. It was an awful throw.

Well, that should help stop any arguments about losing D when the Rev plays 2nd.
So, let’s argue about the offensive drop when he’s in vice Uggla.

Lousy call by the ump, Desmond was running inside line. Ross should of drilled him in the back.

great play by Pastornicky there. May have been some justice there on the questionable out at second.
Again, nice defense by Pastornicky

didn’t work but love the call sending the runner. does any manager hit and run anymore?? fredi g last did it, gee not sure when he last had that call on. managing scared these days
Feeble Fredi
August 22nd, 2012
8:08 pm
And THAT is why Fredi should be axed! WTF oh that last play!? Bobby would have been tossed and the umps would have been shaking in their boots after blowing that call!
Fredi is too timid to be a MLB manager!

lousy call at first and a great call at second. he was out
brian

nj braves – not an awful throw. You throw to 1B and if the guy is in the field of play he is hit by the ball and called out. You don’t throw the ball into RF to avoid hitting a runner out of the baselie
brian

toast – agreed after the relay for 2nd.
No replay needed of course for the lousy call letting the runner get to 1B

Brian… Yeah, he was out of the baseline, but Ross needs to give Freeman a chance to catch the ball. You don’t throw it in the runners back and hope the ump gets the call right…too risky. Ross needs to make sure he gets an out there.

Wonder if Braves can hit in batting practice. Hell Nats are stack have a forth outfielder that get in and a starter in AAA that can come up and win. Still say this is going to be an ugly road trip.

Never a big fan of letting a manager go during the season but firing Fredi might be the only way to salvage what is looking like another collapse.

I’m not that enthusiastic about having Pastornicky play second, but the other side is that I don’t like Uggla either. At this point, you could lay a big turd between Freddie and Yanish and I would be satisfied.

The more I hear about Jim Joyce, from the way he handled that blown Perfect game to the comments from players and officials about what a good umpire he is to this latest story about him and seeing him so gracious and humble after literally saving a life, I can’t help but think we need more people like him in the world. What a truly special man.

That’s 12 GIDP for Chipper this year. Alarming number considering his nuber of at bats. That one really hurt after JHey’s hustle.

OF COURSE, same result could have happen . nice patience chipper
40 year old, 100 game a year player batting cleanup. hard to build championships around 40 year guys who are past prime. hall of fame awaits, still sad testimony to lack of bats on this club.

Hey HOFamer! Think you might want to see a pitch or two? Think that maybe the reason you aren’t coming through lately in these situations is because the opposition knows you have the patience of a rookie and are chasing first pitches at an alarming rate?

you take both Uggla and Mac out of the lineup and they’re still having trouble scoring from 2nd with 0 outs. This is evidence suggesting team wide slump stuff rather than individual player slumping stuff

Just my personal opinion here, but I believe that if Medlen were allowed to be a starter for an entire season, he could very well bring the Cy Young back to Atlanta. You can’t convince me that this kid is not a legitimate top of the rotation pitcher. Not after what he did prior to his surgery and how he has carried himself since being inserted in the rotation.
Wow...
