big problem is all the auto outs. Mac is fast losing his ticket to stay in Atlanta. Uggla, well I don’t beat dead horses. The guy who makes out the lineup(supposedly) should probably go away too.

It just makes me giggle everytime the Braves lose. Time to box up baseball season and concentrate on the only sport that matters…..FOOTBALL. College, Pro….it doesn’t matter. Baseball is like life. You spend all of your time bored and waiting for something to happen. Then when it does, you were reaching for a beer and you have to wait until the next game. A bunch of men wandering around in an open field waiting for someone to hit a ball to them. Meh….give me blitzes, tailback sweeps, post patterns and 4th and inches. It’s like the difference between riding the merry-Go-Round Ibaseball) or riding the Roller Coaster (football). I’m a Roller Coaster guy. You get more out of it.

The Braves lost last night because half of them were wearing long pants, in a Monday game, anyone that knows anything about the Braves, should know that.
Also, thay almost never hit well against a new pitcher, debuting into the Big Leagues.
I think that the Braves will win tonight.
go braves

Carl – It is useless to try to bring in some reason and balance into a discussion. It seems that anytime someone tries to do so, a barrage of insults follows. Of course, I have seen personal insults go the other way, too. I wish people would realize that whatever reasonable point is being made gets lost amid the personal insults. Sadly, I expect a personal insult to come my way in 5 4 3 2 . . .

If you have a 4 game series against the Braves and if you desperately need to sweep them in order to bypass them for a wild card. Just call up 4 pitchers from the minors and start them against the Braves. That should do the trick. Another shutout. How many does that make this year? I wonder how far they are from the 15 I projected for them.

First inning. Second batter. Close play, but Prado is SAFE at first… Wait — what?? He was called OUT? Prado argues, but to no avail.

Gonzalez just… sits.

Hey, Fredi: show the players that you have some testículos and that you have their backs once in a while, and who knows — maybe they’ll play harder for you, and maybe the Braves will get a close call once in a while.

Why is it that everyone thinks it’s the coach’s fault? He doesn’t hit, he doesn’t field and he doesn’t pitch. Has it ever occurred to anyone that maybe we don’t have the horses…consitant horses…to get over the hump? Baseball managers are different from basketball and football coaches in that there aren’t the constant substitutions, play calling and time management. The Braves just plain don’t have the horses and if they can’t do their job, they aren’t right for the team. Good pitching beats good hitting…but then again, good hitting usually beats good pitching. We are just a middle of the pack team. The coach/manager has little to do with that.

I looked up the stats and came up with the following: the Braves have lost shutouts to the following pitchers: (1) Ramon Ramirez (Mets); (2) Joe Blanton (Phillies); (3) Paul Maholm (Cubs); (4) Strasburg (Nationals); (5) Nova (Yankees); (6) Hammel (Orioles); (7) Chen (Orioles); (8) Zito (Giants); (9) Hamels (Phillies); (10) Billingsley (Dodgers); and (11) Kelly (Padres). Hopefully, I did not miss any.

It seems like this group of pitchers consists of a number of quality ML starters as opposed to pitchers just called up from the minors. I have not analyzed each and every Braves’ game, so there might be some more instances of rookie pitchers having their way with Atlanta. If I had the time, I would do it. The point is that one should not jump to any conclusions without the proper research.

We still have folks making a deal out of a loss at the hands of a ‘first time out’ pitcher. Folks, these guys are not all slugs. Some will end up as the 1 or 2 guy in a rotation for the next decade and more. Where did some ATL fans gain all this insight and then conclude that debuting pitchers in MLB should have some built-in disadvantage during their debut regardless of talent/ability? Not all rookies ’shake in their boots’ the first time out. Some behave like seasoned veterans right out of the gate. I’ve witnessed many times a rookie who gets a hit-including a HR-the first plate appearance. We need to get some of you therapy sessions so we can get to the root of this odd way of assessing the performance of our ball club.

Reckingball actually has a point about the Braves and new or rookie or pitchers they see for the 1st time. It seems that everytime the see any pitcher for the 1st time we always lose. Also young Leftys give us headaches for ome reason. But I dont believe in that dumb Monday curse. But the Braves have lost something like 7 or 8 in a row when Uggla and McCann is in the line up They are killing the team. And yea I know Uggla had a hit last night but it only because the Padres were playing him to pull instead of playing him at DP depth like they should have since a runner was at 1st and it was less than 2 out but Uggla does need all the help he can get.

Carl – Please note that I wanted to point out some research as suggesting that the Braves have not necessarily struggled against new pitchers THIS YEAR as some lament. I realize my research is incomplete. And, to the extent that new pitchers have performed well against the Braves this year, I agree with what you say.

Braves??…A manager is supposed to do just that; MANAGE. fg is out managed by almost every manager out there. The poor thing is way over his head, and doesn’t have a clue. I am still pi$$ed that he didn’t do something when Prad was called out at first base. I think it could have been one of two things….nobody wanted to wake him, or he didn’t know or didn’t care. What a waste of another season.

Then trouble in all our lifeless losses is the lack of trying to create runs. Bourn is slumping why not bunt now and then? Same for the bottom of the order. Hitting the ball hard at someone is just a loud out. Rather a quiet bunt hit. Then a steal and sac fly. Remember the 1960’s Dodgers? BTW do we ver hit and run? Beats the crap out of me.

I happened to look at a Texas Rangers message board a couple of week ago. There was much criticism of the team and the manager. And that is a team in first place with two trips to the WS in the last two years.

The problem with the current Braves is the same issues that we have had for the last 15 years.

With only ONE championship since beginning play in ATL in 1966, I’d say the team has had the referenced issues for a lot longer than 15 years.

For those of you who couldn’t wait until the Braves got over that tough 10 game stretch, so they could play some sub .500 teams, well, here they are. How did that first game go for you? BTW, how do you disassemble a lineup that just won the last two games against SF, go back to your previous standard lineup that had just gone 2-6 and had been the lineup that has been saddled with most of the losses this year?

There’s obviously a history here that I wasn’t aware of. (I don’t post much on the Braves blog.)

I was just wondering about the filter. Is it the same one for all AJC comments–or does each columnist have and maintain his/her own? I haven’t had problems today, but it’s been a major pain in the tail on many occasions in the past.

I wish the AJC used a filter(s) that indicated the reason(s) for rejecting a post. Many are kicked out for no apparent reason (i.e., vulgarity, racism, etc.).

I follow what you are saying J-Man. While I tend to side with the Fredi defenders like lobosolo, I do not like how he goes about insulting people who have genuine concerns and criticisms about Fredi’s managing. Fredi’s decision-making and overall managerial skills should be ripe for a good debate. We all will not agree. I try to point out issues that people may tend to jump to criticism too quicky and that managing a team is probably more difficult than we realize. That is my opinion, and I offer it not as the gospel truth.

Like the Braves, the Red Sox imploded last year. They changed managers, and look where they are now. The Braves reacted differently, and they are in the playoff hunt today. I have to believe that Fredi has done some good work to help steady the ship, especially after the dismal spring training and 0-4 start. You can disagree with my opinion, and the debate can be engaged. But, I am not an idiot or a sack of ??? for thinking the way I do, and those that criticize Fredi are also not idiots.

Have I stated anything unreasonable?

With McCann, Uggla, Janish and the pitcher batting consecutively, half the lineup is absolute dead weight. The Braves really only have 3 innings a game they can realistically score in. If any of the other hitters are on a bad stretch, the whole thing collapses.

Was at the game last night-stared for 2.5 hours at absolutely nothing. Just a listless performance against a nervous kid pitcher. With a golden opportunity to gain 1/2 a game, they fell back to 5 out. Really pathetic

Well thats my whole point Tumble, is that everything should be open to debate. But people narrow-minded as lobosolo want to throw insults and say people dont know nothing about baseball. Well instead of throwing insults and names why dont you debate your point and explain your point of view. I have challenged him to a deate numerous times yet all he does is call me armchair , J-Whine or say I dribble, vene though he means drivel. But hey I guess he is mentally handicapped to actually go through a true debate.

I love this…….we’ve decided that he was a nervous kid pitcher. He probably had some anxiety–like all of us would–but I’ve seen many who loved it and couldn’t wait for the chance. This ‘kid’ was probably one of those and he did pretty good. Can we agree that, perhaps, the reason the Braves lost could have been just a little bit a result of a good pitching performance? I love these beer drinkin’ bubbas who sit back and decide when a team –for no particular reason–gave up a chance to gain a half game. We have nitwits from the west coast to the east coast. I’m glad we don’t have a nitwit monopoly here in ATL.

I think it is important to debate Fredi and other issues involving the Braves players. There was alot of grief over his decision to play Hinske in left field the other night. I thought it was important to give him some game action as we may need some production down the road from him, and he needs to stay involved. I did understand that maybe he should get his time at first base rather than left field. But, perhaps Fredi did not want to lose Freeman’s bat and thought that the team overall would be better with him in left field. The decision turned out to bite Fredi in the butt. However, I can see the reasoning in playing Hinske in left field despite the bad outcome. Players do need their rest for the stretch drive.

This and other issues involving Fredi can be debated quite well without resort to name calling.

Until it becomes unacceptable (from the top) to be dominated by a young pitcher making his debut or an early start… nothing’s going to change.

It seems every player has it in his head before the game even starts. That “here we go again” mentality. THAT has to change and THAT is where the manager and coaches have to make that happen.

I’ve never seen a big league team so fragile.
Late night travel, next game a dud…

I think the thing that amazes me the most about FG is that he waits until the last possible millisecond to react to what everyone else in the stadium has noticed x-amount of time before-hand, and then what he does in his reaction is always a “waaaaay too little, waaaaaay too late” scenario. Like shuffling the lineup around in the game agains the Giants in FINAL reaction to holes in the lineup, covering that up by saying it was more about getting Hinske some at-bats rather than just calling a spade a spade in that the lineup he’d been trotting out night after night simply wasn’t getting it done. But what does he do? He sticks H

inske in LF, puts Prado at SS (possible Prado’s weakest position) and leaves Ugly Dan in at 2B. In other words, Rather than take the practical route and put in a great defensive lineup (like say, Janish at SS, Prado at 2B, Ross at C) he puts a ridiculous lineup out there in answer to all the criticism of his coaching skills as if to say, “See guys, nothing I try works!” It’s total BS, the guy is a tool, and a useless one at that…

Hey Carl, you’re right! The Braves are supposedly in a pennant chase but get 3 hit by a guy making his first start. To express disappointment over that effort makes anyone an idot. I’m sure he’ll be a first ballot HOFer. Sitting about 100 feet away he just didn’t look as unhittable as you think, but hey nobody knows baseball like you.

You are also correct that there couldn’t be a realistic expectation that the Braves might take advantage of the situation-I mean the Padres are pretty unbeatable, especially when they get a commanding 2 run lead early. Tip you’re cap and move on, right Carl?

I believe everything should be up to debate. I believe Fredi is a below average manager at best, I believe Uggla should be benched or sent to AAA, I believe McCann is hurt and shouldve been placed on the DL two weeks ago. I believe Hanson shouldnt be a starter anymore, Degado deserves another shot and has better stuff. I believe we need to get back to stealing more bases and working the count instead of swinging for the fences everytime. We need Fredi to show some fire and argue some bad calls. Also remember last season we had a better record and a much bigger WC lead so there is good reason to have doubts. Now thats how I feel if you want to debate me good because I love hearing the other side of the coin. But if your gonna drop insults and lame name calling then that cool too because you just lack the intelligence to properly debate me.

Hey, J-WHINE… Im here…. before I get started, would you please, for the sake of some legitimacy, learn the usage of your and you’re… You still haven’t looked up drivel and dribble yet, either… I try to help you, but you’re just too adamant to be taught anyhting… I use the same tactics you armchairs use, which is derogatory name-calling… It sees to be the only language you can understand…. just another case of crybabies being able to dish it out but not take it… Long ago, I tried to explain some of the finer points of baseball to you, but it was you who failed to listen and respond with thoughtful discourse…. Instead, you posted more idiotic blather using my name and your poor writing…

I will debate anyone who has an idea of what they’re talking about, but when you run off at the mouth with comments that show no sense of baseball knowledge (nor proper use of “your” and “you’re”, for that matter… adds to your “hayseed” armchair quotient) and can do no better than disparage, I will happily stoop to your level…

Didn’t realize your feelings were so easily hurt not realizing I name other armchairs ( note: see Larry, Ralphie, alexis, Mitchell, billybob, bravesfaninwisconsin, etc., etc… lots of them for those that notice things)… It’s just that your posts have that certain something-something that sets you apart as an extra-uninformed baseball whiner…

There really is a book called Baseball for Dummies…. get it, man… Be sure to read up on the dynamics of calling up and re-calling players from the minors… might just be a good way to prevent yourself from some of your more imbecilic suggestions…

I must really get to you, Jayster… you’re (that’s the one you seem to always use “your” for) pre-empting your rags like your brother Lumpman… all you need to do is learn before you excoriate…

I’ll repeat it for your benefit, although there is no reason to believe you actually learn… I come on here to call out idiot remarks… no other reason… I love my baseball and love my Braves (since they moved here from Milwaukee)… I don’t need to cry over baseball, snce there’s none of that in it… My posts are at least as legitimate as yours and your armchair friends’, so get used to it… and try, try, try to understand the game a little better… it won’t hurt you a bit and you might actually gleen some fortitude to handle an exciting pennant race…
