The latest is that Zimmerman is still slated to start, but will be evaluated pre-game. Stammen will start if Zimmerman can't go

[Hawk]

Excited to see Hale pitch.

[AerchAngel]

No lineup yet?

Someone is slipping.

[NinersSBChamps]

No lineup yet?

Expecting a huge game from BJ.

[NYCBrave]

Wow, have you guys noticed the Nats lineup through the first 4 games? It's been changing every game, and now Harper is hitting 6th!!!

[NinersSBChamps]

Update your lineups in the first post you cunt.

Nah I am good.

[The Chosen One]

Nah I am good.

One week gameday thread creation ban.

[cajunrevenge]

I bet we would hit Zimmerman better than Stammen. I am going to predict both Uptons homer today.

[Hawk]

Seeing as Zimmerman is on the tail end of a pretty nasty bug, it wouldn't surprise me to see the Braves come out swinging.

[Julio3000]

Happy home opener, Zombie Expos.

Also, **** you.

http://i1239.photobucket.com/albums/ff511/poinsett/harper_yellingcopy_zpseb35ecba.jpg

[Braves1976]

Apparently David Hale has been sick with the flu too.

[NinersSBChamps]

I wanna see CJ knock some balls around today!

[NinersSBChamps]

I fully expect BJ to have his average doubled by the end of year!

[Hawk]

BJ just looks so overmatched.

[Braves1976]

Justin Upton is batting 5th when he's been our best hitter vs Zimmerman. That makes sense.

[NinersSBChamps]

BJ just looks so overPAID.

I agree.

[mossy]

Harper batting 6th? I'm surprised by that.

[NinersSBChamps]

Hale yeah! Sit down!

[AerchAngel]

Justin Upton is batting 5th when he's been our best hitter vs Zimmerman. That makes sense.

I think he told Fredi that his older brother's psyche is shot and switching them will give him a little confidence.

IMHO

[Murphfan]

If Craig Biggio, Jason Werth and Aramis Ramirez ever play on the same team, the Braves will NEVER beat them.

[Hawk]

Hale looking good.

[mossy]

Nice start!!

[Braves1976]

David looked great in the 1st. Now let's get him some runs boys!

[mossy]

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b171/JamieSanders/adam_zpsb4cbe0b1.png (http://s19.photobucket.com/user/JamieSanders/media/adam_zpsb4cbe0b1.png.html)

Adam looks old with that beard.

[AUTiger7222]

If Craig Biggio, Jason Werth and Aramis Ramirez ever play on the same team, the Braves will NEVER beat them.

Don't forget Carlos Ruiz, Moises Alou and Barry Bonds.

[JohnAdcox]

Adam looks old with that beard.

Glenn Hubbard finally had that growth spurt.

[mossy]

Joe Simpson sounds like he's suffering from flu like symptoms.

[The Chosen One]

UGGLAAAAAA

[Murphfan]

Danny!!

[zitothebrave]

Uggla>ALL

[gilesfan]

Outisde of the whole Brewers lineup, I don't know many other players besided J.Up whose hole in their swing is the center cut, belt high fastball

[AUTiger7222]

Dan Uggla is locked in right now! Love it!

[Hawk]

Despite BJ's continued struggles, it sure is great to see Uggla roping left and right. Can't have it all I suppose.

[mossy]

Uggla with the solid single!

[Hawk]

Evan. :facepalm:

[jpx7]

Joe Simpson sounds like he's suffering from flu like symptoms.

Joe Simpson is a flu-like symptom.

Chip has an apothecary he visits for treatment.

[Tapate50]

Gattis chasing on 3 straight. Color me shocked.

[JohnAdcox]

UGGLAAAAAA And the Gattinator laid off a pitch in the dirt. Small victories.

[Braves1976]

Zimmerman looks great so far too. Not surprising, I was really hoping we'd not have to face him this series.

[AUTiger7222]

I already want to see a lineup change.

1. Jason Heyward - RF
2. Dan Uggla - 2B
3. Freddie Freeman - 1B
4. Chris Johnson - 3B
5. Justin Upton - LF
6. Andrelton Simmons - SS
7. Evan Gattis - C
8. Pitcher
9. B.J. Upton - CF

[mossy]

I theorize they saved Zimmerman just for us. Can't prove it, but I'll bet they did.

[sturg33]

I'm encouraged by Uggla

[cajunrevenge]

Uggla needs to be moved to second.

[jsebe10]

Zimmerman looks great so far too. Not surprising, I was really hoping we'd not have to face him this series.

How? He's throwing 93-95 mph biscuit fastballs down the pipe with NO movement and our hitters are just swinging through it like there is a hole in their bats.

[The Chosen One]

Christ BJ. You can't even get that ball in center?

[NinersSBChamps]

Show some hustle out there for goodness sake. If BJ sprints instead of a casual trot he could have made a play.

[VirginiaBrave]

Give it an effort BJ smh

[The Chosen One]

BWUAHAHAHARPER

[yeezus]

**** YOU

[Hawk]

Haha Bryce Harper is such a tool. I enjoy seeing him fail.

[NinersSBChamps]

Thought for sure Gattis was gonna send that one to center field.

[The Chosen One]

CRAPOLO>

If Freddie scooped it that's an out.

[Dalyn]

Nice move from Fredi & Friends.

[yeezus]

The fact that was close is insane

[Hawk]

Lawd, Simba.

[NinersSBChamps]

Desmond beats it out anyway.

[TURBO]

Nationals announcer just said Desmond has just as much range as Simmons.

[jpx7]

Evan. :facepalm:

Yea, I might be worried more about him than Upton at the moment—though that is largely due to expectation/need considerations.

[Hawk]

Nationals announcer just said Desmond has just as much range as Simmons.

FP Santangelo is like a young Hawk Harrelson. Dude is out of tune with reality.

[jpx7]

Haha Bryce Harper is such a tool. I enjoy seeing him fail.

I sincerely hopes he never even reaches half his proclaimed potential.

[Braves1976]

Good job by Hale, now pitcher leads off next inning for them. Some runs for us would be nice.

[VirginiaBrave]

Hale not looking great but so far so good.

[jsebe10]

I sincerely hopes he never even reaches half his proclaimed potential.

I hope he breaks his legs.

[NinersSBChamps]

Nationals announcer just said Desmond has just as much range as Simmons.

Your first problem is watching the Nationals telecast.

[jpx7]

Nationals announcer just said Desmond has just as much range as Simmons.

That's funny.

[The Chosen One]

http://cdn3.vox-cdn.com/assets/4240523/Poor-Bryce_medium.gif

[VirginiaBrave]

All the Nats media are tools.

[Hawk]

All the Nats media are tools.

I think Washington is the tooliest organization in MLB, from the GM on down.

[JohnAdcox]

Uggla needs to be moved to second.

He does play second.

[The Chosen One]

"Let's see if BJ Upton (and the Braves) can take advantage of that gift"....


Hmmm no

[TDlxANDER]

Good job by Jason to clear Bossman...

[Julio3000]

Nationals announcer just said Desmond has just as much range as Simmons.

Jeez, and we think OUR guy is high most of the time.

[chopdrew]

Dan Uggla keeps putting bat to baseball. I like it.

[gilesfan]

BJ never had his BA up to .200 until September 3rd and then immediately went 1 for 36. HOly ****.

[NinersSBChamps]

Good job by Jason to clear Bossman...

Assuming he doesn't try and run.

[The Chosen One]

BJ made contact. :Gasp:

[Hawk]

At this point, simple contact is progress.

[NinersSBChamps]

Very nice.

[AUTiger7222]

B.J. made contact on a 94 mph fastball. Baby steps.

[Braves78]

Did my eyes just deceive me? Did BJ just make contact with the ball? With that being said anyone know the record foe being stuck out in the first week of the season.

[The Chosen One]

I said I was expecting a huge game from BJ. So far he's made contact and hasn't disappointed.

[skillet]

BJ nothing like 1 for 14 with 7 K's. He's only striking out half the time.

[Braves1976]

Well, at least we cleared BJ that inning.

[jsebe10]

At this point, simple contact is progress.

Pshhh. At this point a foul tip makes me antsy

[gilesfan]

Nice job, Freeman. Almost a disaster

[The Chosen One]

A foul tip makes me snap my head back. What a roller coaster.

[NinersSBChamps]

BJ nothing like 1 for 14 with 7 K's. He's only striking out half the time.

But on the plus side he isn't striking out half the time either.

[JusticeForAll23]

BJ nothing like 1 for 14 with 7 K's. He's only striking out half the time.
See, he's already down from 60% from last game. Before you know it he'll actually start putting the ball in play 2-3 times a game, and hell, he may even start collecting a hit once a series or at least once every other series.

[NinersSBChamps]

At this point a fly ball gets me super excited!

[cajunrevenge]

Uprons making almost 30 million this year and combine for less than a .150 batting average. How do we lose any ganes with studs like this.

[Hawk]

See, Upton has wheels.

[NinersSBChamps]

Uprons making almost 30 million this year and combine for less than a .150 batting average. How do we lose any ganes with studs like this.

Justin will get hot and carry the team on his back. Or so I have heard.

[jpx7]

At least be witty if all you're going to do is complain.

[BamaBruise]

Anyone know of an online link to a live radio stream of the game? I used to have one bookmarked but don't anymore. I know they're kind of hard to find online today without having to pay for MLB.tv

[NinersSBChamps]

At least be witty if all you're going to do is complain.

How am I complaining?

[AUTiger7222]

Dan Uggla is the worst throwing 2nd baseman this side of Chuck Knoblauch.

[Braves1976]

David's sinker has a lot of bite so far, plus he has thrown some good curveballs and a few nice change-ups today. Freeman and heart of the order due up, time to get some runs boys!

[The Chosen One]

[NinersSBChamps]

Freddie socked that one. Let's get something going.

[jpx7]

How am I complaining?

Well:


Justin will get hot and carry the team on his back. Or so I have heard.

[NinersSBChamps]

Well:

That is what I have read on this board.

[gilesfan]

That is what I have read on this board.

But, you said you heard it earlier

[gilesfan]

Wow Danny, better swing next time.

[NinersSBChamps]

That was an awful call.

[Hawk]

That pitch was borderline.

[AUTiger7222]

That was not a damn strike! That umpire needs glasses!

[TDlxANDER]

Looked off the plate. Incompetent ump is incompetent...

[Murphfan]

That was an awful call. I thought it was inside.

[AUTiger7222]

Right here (http://player.listenlive.co/26061)

[Braves1976]

It was close but inside and ball four, bad call but typical. Oh well.

Replay shows it wasn't even as close as looked live.

[jsebe10]

And bc of incompetencies like this is why MLB adopted the replay system....pathetic call to ruin a great AB

[Murphfan]

Moral of the story; if you toss your bat before ball 4 is called, ump WANTS to ring you up.

[jpx7]

But, you said you heard it earlier

BAM.

[Hawk]

BAM.

... said Bryce Harper.

[The Chosen One]

LOL LaRoche

[Lville21]

So JUp can't hit or field.

Great.

[Hawk]

Bad play by Upton, but Andrelton is $$$.

[gilesfan]

LOL off running on Simmons. Hey, at least J-Up plays soccer pretty well.

[The Chosen One]

Already 1 run saved this year for Mr. Simmons

[AUTiger7222]

I'm sick of the Uptons! Get rid of both of them! I'm done with them! Justin Upton is one of the worst defensive players I've ever seen!

[Hawk]

I'm sick of the Uptons! Get rid of both of them! I'm done with them! Justin Upton is one of the worst defensive players I've ever seen!

I can't decide who looks more uncomfortable in LF -- Upton or Chipper.

[Murphfan]

I don't know who looked goofier; JUP, or their 3rd base coach. Looked like Decenzo on Tuesday when he sent Freeman. WTF moment.

[Dalyn]

Wouldn't pitch to Harper.

[The Chosen One]

Wouldn't pitch to Harper.

I wouldn't. I'd hit him.

[gilesfan]

I can't decide who looks more uncomfortable in LF -- Upton or Chipper.

Klesko laughs at Upton in left.

[Tapate50]

Smell ya Harper.

[Braves1976]

Great job by Hale stranding the runner at third, Justin should've caught that "double" but at least Simmons cannon saved us.

[AUTiger7222]

I can't decide who looks more uncomfortable in LF -- Upton or Chipper.

Chipper could actually hold his own out there. Justin just looks completely lost at times.

[jpx7]

I'm sick of the Uptons! Get rid of both of them! I'm done with them! Justin Upton is one of the worst defensive players I've ever seen!

I'm sick of posts like these comprising 60% of game-threads when it's only the damn fourth game of the year.

[Hawk]

Quick, somebody get Bryce's pacy.

[Dalyn]

Hale yes! It worked out nicely.

[NinersSBChamps]

BAM.

Still makes zero sense. But hey good work Dick Tracey.

[AUTiger7222]

I don't know who looked goofier; JUP, or their 3rd base coach. Looked like Decenzo on Tuesday when he sent Freeman. WTF moment.

Freeman and LaRoche are two of the 5 slowest players in the majors with Brian McCann being another of the 5.

[Tapate50]

Wouldn't pitch to Harper.

:tchop:

[Dalyn]

I'm sick of posts like these comprising 60% of game-threads when it's only the damn fourth game of the year.

Especially considering the history of the source.

[NinersSBChamps]

I'm sick of posts like these comprising 60% of game-threads when it's only the damn fourth game of the year.

So don't read them.

[Murphfan]

I wouldn't. I'd hit him. Any day that I can see Bryce get pissed off is a good day.

[PurpleBrave]

Pretty sure a glacier would have scored from 1st there. Good thing LaRoche was doing the running

[Bj1133]

Bob Carpenter might be the worst play-by-play guy on TV

[BamaBruise]

http://player.listenlive.co/24041
Thanks!

[The Chosen One]

COCK BOMB GATTIS

[Braves1976]

What's funny is the debate in another thread saying Justin Upton is a better leftfielder than Prado. Prado is a lot better than Justin Upton defensively in left. Though I am hoping Justin will improve the more he plays there. He was pretty bad at it last year and not a good start this year.

Gattis goes boom! Take that Gattis bashers on this forum!

[NinersSBChamps]

I am encouraged by Evan Gattis.

[Hawk]

GATLING GUN!

[AUTiger7222]

WOW!!!!!!!! MONSTER BOMB FOR THE WHITE BEAR!!!!!!

[TURBO]

hahah Chip needs to post on this board.

[gilesfan]

Any day that I can see Bryce get pissed off is a good day.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CPlF-IEkXQ

[Tapate50]

WhiteBear'd.

[cajunrevenge]

At least be witty if all you're going to do is complain.

I am more positive than most people I am just tired of the Uptons. I have a lot of good things to say about Hale but I don't want to jinx him so I will wait till he is out of the game.

[The Chosen One]

Fredi approves of the Gattis homer.

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b171/JamieSanders/fredi2_zpsea700d25.png

[NinersSBChamps]

Get him over to second please.

[Braves1976]

Good job Simmons, move him up Hale.

Who is teaching bunting for the Braves? We're terrible at it.

[The Chosen One]

Come on Hale, we have another pitcher coming up this inning to hit too.

[AUTiger7222]

That homerun had to be around 450 feet.

[BlackwaterPark]

How far did it go?

[chopdrew]

There are home runs, there are monster home runs, then there's fifty feet of crap. And THEN, there's that Gattis Home Run.

[gilesfan]

How far did it go?

All the way over the fence.

[Hawk]

Braves pitchers need to work on bunting.

[Murphfan]

Wood and Hale need to spend time in the bunting booth.

[AUTiger7222]

Braves pitchers suck at bunting. It's like they're so scared of getting hit by the ball that they're afraid to do it properly.

[TDlxANDER]

I don't know who looked goofier; JUP, or their 3rd base coach. Looked like Decenzo on Tuesday when he sent Freeman. WTF moment.

3b coach is a sharp cat. Def learning moment for him.

[Tapate50]

All pitchers report to the cage for bunting practice. I repeat all pitchers report for bunting practice. Thats twice we have fouled out and couldn't get down a bunt and its... game 4.

[Murphfan]

Wood and Hale need to spend time in the bunting booth.Bobby would have them running suicides for a month.

[The Chosen One]

Barely foul for Heyward mercy.

[AUTiger7222]

Braves pitchers need to work on bunting.


Wood and Hale need to spend time in the bunting booth.

They need to practice bunting against Craig Kimbrel. If you can bunt off Kimbrel then you can bunt off anyone.

[Hawk]

Mercy is right, Joe...

Heyward hammered that.

[Braves1976]

Oh no, I thought that would stay fair. Just missed a two run homer.

[Bj1133]

So close

[Murphfan]

3b coach is a sharp cat. Def learning moment for him. I agree, but Freddy was so out on Tuesday, that they started the Braves with one out on Wednesday. :-)

[NinersSBChamps]

I like the idea of sending Simmons. And again we clear BJ.

[Braves1976]

Was that another failed hit and run? Fredi sent Freeman earlier. Bad move having Simmons run there.

[Hawk]

Hey there, big Bossman.

[Tapate50]

Fredi showing he didn't trust BJ to get it done.

[yeezus]

hate running with Heyward up. Just don't do it.

[Braves1976]

hate running with Heyward up. Just don't do it.

Agreed.

[AUTiger7222]

Heyward is halfway to his stolen base total from last season.

[The Chosen One]

:YDS:

[Hawk]

Dayum.

[chopdrew]

Makes me happy to see all those lowlifes on wnff claiming their whole season rides on this game...

[AUTiger7222]

BJ :facepalm:

[Braves1976]

We should've had more, Freeman gets a shot if not for running Simmons. Oh well. BJ in the two hole is killing us.

[zitothebrave]

Bossman :facepalm:

[AerchAngel]

When did Pedro Cerrano started playing for the Braves?

[Tapate50]

Agreed.

Wanted the chance to score on a single, and didn't want BJ stranding both with a predictable K. Right call IMO.

[jsebe10]

Bossman :facepalm:

He should shamefully retire.

[Braves1976]

Wanted the chance to score on a single, and didn't want BJ stranding both with a predictable K. Right call IMO.

Freeman gets a shot if Heyward walks.

[Tapate50]

We are going to have a full blown problem on our hands if BJ keeps this up. I mean a real issue. Heyward to CF, Terdo to RF?

[Hawk]

Oh ****.

[NinersSBChamps]

Just want to make sure this isn't ruled a complaint...by the wonderful jpx

I don't get upset or anything when BJ fails. I expect it. Anything he does at the plate is a bonus.

[gilesfan]

Smart move, Justin.

[Tapate50]

Freeman gets a shot if Heyward walks.

Not guaranteed.

[yeezus]

Seriously now, move him out of the 2 hole. What the hell is the purpose of this?

[Braves1976]

Oh no...

[Dalyn]

Bobby would have them running suicides for a month.

And Fredi will just have them suicide when it counts the most.

[AUTiger7222]

**** these umpires!

[Tapate50]

I am not quite sure I am reading this correctly, but an inside the park HR on gameday? Not possible. Was an Upton at fault?

[Murphfan]

I am not quite sure I am reading this correctly, but an inside the park HR on gameday? Not possible. Was an Upton at fault? Ya think?

[Hawk]

What a weird play.

[Dalyn]

Just get the damn ball next time. You could've stopped him at second regardless.

[gilesfan]

I am not quite sure I am reading this correctly, but an inside the park HR on gameday? Not possible. Was an Upton at fault?

Justin.

[Braves1976]

Justin should've have left it or got it right away.

[goldfly]

what a stupid play by Justin

[Dalyn]

He should've pretended to try. Get down and prop his feet against the wall and strain at the ball with no result. At least make it look good.

[The Chosen One]

Fredi 2 for 2 in challenges. What a genius.
http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b171/JamieSanders/fredi2_zpsea700d25.png

[Hawk]

Desmond sent back to 2B.

[AUTiger7222]

Thank you!!!

[Tapate50]

Two errors on Justin so far?

[Lville21]

Matt Williams, you don't have any legs to stand on in this argument. Get back in the dugout.

[Braves1976]

OK got it right thankfully. Hopefully Hale can strand him at second with bottom of order coming up.

[gilesfan]

Damn, looks like we got a break.

[TDlxANDER]

Not a stupid play by Justin, he left it there long enough to see it stopped. When the umpires went full moron, he reacted.

[Tapate50]

Damn, looks like we got a break.

Good one. :icwudt:

[Dalyn]

Damn, looks like we got a break.

:roll:

[Lville21]

It takes the umpires that long to decide if a ball is still playable with visible evidence, but one dolt can decide if a ball is an infield fly at the very last second?

[mossy]

2 for 2 in replay challenges.

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b171/JamieSanders/Mobile%20Uploads/B67EAAD1-9722-4AA2-A4A3-7460BA837E7A_zpsha5qrmke.png (http://s19.photobucket.com/user/JamieSanders/media/Mobile%20Uploads/B67EAAD1-9722-4AA2-A4A3-7460BA837E7A_zpsha5qrmke.png.html)

[Murphfan]

Not a stupid play by Justin, he left it there long enough to see it stopped. When the umpires went full moron, he reacted. Grateful, but I think the umps blew it. I think the replay shows that the ball wasn't lodged. It stopped dead, but I don't think it was "lodged", as I think the rules specify. But, often times I find that I don't know what I'm talking about...

[NinersSBChamps]

Nats are smart...

[Hawk]

Desmond what a little bitch.

[mossy]

It takes the umpires that long to decide if a ball is still playable with visible evidence, but one dolt can decide if a ball is an infield fly at the very last second?

That was very awkward. So far replay seems to take longer than necessary.

[yeezus]

Gattis got him, good. Hope Hale is okay as he got stept on tagging him.

Nationals going to fire their baserunning coach after this. Two gifts.

Nat fans are all about booing.

Now that McLouth is up, Braves fans can now go BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Into the pen already? Nice. Zimmermann must not want to push it after being sick. Let's go.

[yeezus]

Seen that before Nate...

[NinersSBChamps]

Wonder if Craig has good Stammena?

[Braves1976]

Nice catch Freeman, now let's get some more runs!

[AUTiger7222]

FREDDIE! HOLY COW!!!!!!!!!

[mossy]

Just a typical inning.

[Murphfan]

Nice catch Freeman, now let's get some more runs!Self defense.

[cajunrevenge]

I hope that was the last inning for Hale but I know Fredi will run him back out there.

[yeezus]

BABIP is just a good hitter. He just is. He's not great, but he makes solid contact all the time.
