Might be a slight delay but they'll probably get it in.

[ChapelHillMatt]

Not a fan of the white hats.

[DaneHill]

No Terd? :eusa_naughty:

[weso1]

Nats won by the way.

[thethe]

No Terd? :eusa_naughty:

Dissapointed. I'm a fan of letting a call up start that day.

[zitothebrave]

I'd say Terdo should start but who would you use him for? Can't really bench Freddie.

[DaneHill]

Dissapointed. I'm a fan of letting a call up start that day.

Would have been fun to have an Independence Day debut. Let the kid play in his first game up! It's not like we're hurting in the standings at the moment.

[weso1]

Lots of pitches, but a good inning nonetheless.

[thethe]

No swing and miss stuff. The expert scout strikes again!

[AUTiger7222]

Nice job Julio!

[thethe]

I'd say Terdo should start but who would you use him for? Can't really bench Freddie.


Heyward in CF and Terdo in either LF/RF. He was fine in the OF in spring training. He can play a passable defense out there.

[AUTiger7222]

Would have been fun to have an Independence Day debut. Let the kid play in his first game up! It's not like we're hurting in the standings at the moment.

Bobby was a big on starting a guy who had just gotten called up to get his feet wet so he didn't have too much time to think about it and I agreed with that approach.

[weso1]

Give him a hit on that.

[thethe]

J HEY!!!

[AUTiger7222]

Nice job J-Hey. Let's go Justin!

[thethe]

Upton is lucky he isn't out right now.

[AUTiger7222]

Bad out. Let's go Freddie!

[AUTiger7222]

Joe Simpson just called McCann the Grand Slam Man. He's not allowed to say that. I trademarked that years ago.

[AUTiger7222]

Freddie does it again! 2-0 Braves!

[weso1]

Freddie comes through again... what's new?

[thethe]

Freeman is the man.

Heyward is the truth on the bases.

[DaneHill]

Freeman :pimp:

[AUTiger7222]

McCann is white hot right now! 3-0 Braves!

[DaneHill]

McCann :eusa_dance:

[thethe]

This is the kind of offense I want to see. Shut them down tonight Julio!

[Frek21]

Woo!!! Good start.

[DaneHill]

Can Terdo play 2nd? :roll:

[BlackwaterPark]

Atta boy! Is it going to rain all night?

[TURBO]

Im here. The game can start...

[weso1]

Probably light rain/drizzle for the first several innings and then a break and perhaps more light rain later in the game.

[Dalyn]

No Terd? :eusa_naughty:

Shart!

[AUTiger7222]

4 batters faced and 4 strikeouts for Julio!

[TURBO]

Hanger

[AUTiger7222]

Wow! That was crushed!

[DaneHill]

Crap :Wall:

[weso1]

K, K, K, K, Krush

[AUTiger7222]

Teheran isn't going to have a long game if this pitch count stays up.

[weso1]

Who would've though we'd see this from Teheran after his start. What a turn around.

[BremanFan88]

Who would've though we'd see this from Teheran after his start. What a turn around.

The rumors of his demise were greatly exaggerated.

[TURBO]

JT becoming our ace

[AUTiger7222]

The rumors of his demise were greatly exaggerated.

I was worried about the lack of strikeouts early.

[Mrs. Meta]

Evening, you guysis!

[TURBO]

Evening, you guysis!

HOla!

[TURBO]

Not feeling the white caps either

[BremanFan88]

Heyward is the truth on the bases.

I picture this being said very ghetto and it makes me happy for some reason.

[TURBO]

I picture this being said very ghetto and it makes me happy for some reason.

thethe is so hoood

[BremanFan88]

I was worried about the lack of strikeouts early.

I could tell by his ability to hit singles and field his position extremely well that he'd be ok. Joking aside I think JT is going to get some Gold Glove's.

[BremanFan88]

thethe is so hoood

Word.

[DaneHill]

Evening, you guysis!


:tchop:

[TURBO]

Not gettng hit hard.

[Runnin]

Just good hitting here. Or lucky hitting.

[TURBO]

Dont let Stanton beat you here.

[BremanFan88]

Who's going to be the first jerk to abuse the rep button?

[Mrs. Meta]

Who's going to be the first jerk to abuse the rep button?

I just repped you so hard.

[BremanFan88]

I just repped you so hard.

Nice.

Pretty sure Joe just said something about a woman having nice hands. The broadcast is getting out of control and Julio isn't even here.

[TURBO]

I just repped you so hard.

Make him take that rep

[AUTiger7222]

I could tell by his ability to hit singles and field his position extremely well that he'd be ok. Joking aside I think JT is going to get some Gold Glove's.

Julio is a very good all around pitcher.

[BremanFan88]

Alvarez got away with mistakes to Heyward and Freeman.

[Mrs. Meta]

Nice.

Pretty sure Joe just said something about a woman having nice hands. The broadcast is getting out of control and Julio isn't even here.

Chip n Joe are definitely getting comfortable with each other in the booth.

Very comfortable.

[BremanFan88]

Chip n Joe are definitely getting comfortable with each other in the booth.

Very comfortable.

A little too comfortable...and I like it.

[TURBO]

ugh tie game

[AUTiger7222]

Just unreal. Last night Minor can't hold onto a 2-0 lead and tonight Teheran can''t hold onto a 3-0 lead. What the crap man?

[Runnin]

These Marlins are playing better.

[Frek21]

Just unreal. Last night Minor can't hold onto a 2-0 lead and tonight Teheran can''t hold onto a 3-0 lead. What the crap man?

We've been spoiled.

[TURBO]

These Marlins are playing better.

Much different then the last time we faced them

[Mrs. Meta]

We've been spoiled.

...just like the milk dripping from Chip's eyebrows as he succumbs to...Leather Larceny!

[TURBO]

whew that scared me

[AUTiger7222]

Guess the Braves need to go back to losing early and comeback to win games. Clearly scoring in the 1st inning isn't working.

[Tapate50]

Evening ladies ...

Oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY 'MERICA!

[Gary82]

I survived the transition! Time for the Braves to put this game away. We can't let the flippin Marlins win this series.

[TURBO]

weak inning

[Julio3000]

Chip and Joe playing footsie in the booth? I have to get to the broadcast ASAP.

[TURBO]

Chip and Joe playing footsie in the booth? I have to get to the broadcast ASAP.


Heard they are pantless

[AUTiger7222]

The easy answer to the trivia question is Juan Pierre.

[Julio3000]

Heard they are pantless

Chip Caray is a helluva drug.

[Runnin]

Just unreal. Last night Minor can't hold onto a 2-0 lead and tonight Teheran can''t hold onto a 3-0 lead. What the crap man?
And all of the sudden we're giving up more HRs than we're hitting. It's like teams have made adjustments to us.

[TURBO]

bs hit right there

[weso1]

That was the weirdest swing I've ever seen.

[stpeteirish]

haven't had a baserunner since McCann's 1st inning double. Streaky good, then bad.

[Julio3000]

Danger zone.

[Frek21]

Evening ladies ...

Oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY 'MERICA!

[Gary82]

TEheran is closing in on 100 pitches already? Dang.

[TURBO]

there are some really dumb people out there

[weso1]

I get redneck level angry at fireworks these days. Used to love them, and I sure I will again, but right now all they do is wake up my kids.

[Julio3000]

TEheran is closing in on 100 pitches already? Dang.

He's in the manger zone.

[Gary82]

He's in the manger zone.

Highway to the MANAGER ZOOOOOOOOOONNNNNEEEEEEEE!

[TURBO]

He's in the manger zone.


mad + anger?

[weso1]

Really strange line from Teheran tonight. Dominating, yet not dominating all at the same time.

[Frek21]

mad + anger?

Manager + danger?

[TURBO]

Only 5 innings from JT tonight. Needs to get deeper in games. But we will still win this game.

[zitothebrave]

Lot of pitches for Julio but his end result wasn't terrible.

[weso1]

There's a good start. Tempted to leave Julio in and let him bunt here.

[TURBO]

Lead off hit by Johnson. No bunting please

[weso1]

Hopefully we can make him pay.

[TURBO]

should have bunted lol

[AUTiger7222]

Why isn't this Joey-T pinch hitting here? And Rev hits a ground out before I can even get finished typing.

[Lville21]

Why burn Pastornicky so early? You could've left Teheran in to bunt and then replace him in the top of the 6th.

[Mrs. Meta]

He's in the manger zone.

...are you inn or are you out?

[AUTiger7222]

Well that inning went to hell.

[Gary82]

Ugh, Simba.

[zitothebrave]

GOD DAMNIT

[Julio3000]

...are you inn or are you out?

I'm out. No room in the inn.

[TURBO]

Carpenter will blow the lead

[Julio3000]

He nailed that one off of Carpenter.

[TURBO]

He nailed that one off of Carpenter.

edit: boo didnt work.

[stpeteirish]

Only 5 innings from JT tonight. Needs to get deeper in games. But we will still win this game.

you must be watching a different game than me. We're not doing squat with the bats.

[weso1]

Well, toots

[TURBO]

Huge K by Carpenter

[stpeteirish]

don't pull a Minor here and walk the pitcher.

[Frek21]

Big K. Now get a ground ball at let's score some runs!

[stpeteirish]

don't pull a Minor here and walk the pitcher.

pinch hitter, good, we weren't hitting Alvarez at all. after 1st inning.

[weso1]

What the heck was that?

[TURBO]

1 more out

[weso1]

Oh... I forgot about the runner at first. Not a bad idea.

[weso1]

Great come back by Carpenter.

[TURBO]

Glad I was wrong. Great job by Carpenter

[Julio3000]

Carpenter ended up turning in a good frame.

[DaneHill]

Good job, Carp. :eusa_clap:

[TURBO]

Jason robbed of a hit.

[AUTiger7222]

Wow the luck Heyward has.

[TURBO]

Justin is going deep. I feel it

[DaneHill]

Dang it

[TURBO]

Justin is going deep. I feel it

Must be the taco bell I ate.

[thethe]

Geez, Upton can't get his swing back.

[weso1]

He's been swinging better. Hopefully the results will come in the homerun dept soon.

[DaneHill]

Justin is going deep. I feel it

I've missed Justin's last few homers. So I haven't actually seen him hit one since about the 3rd week of April.

[Frek21]

Carpenter ended up turning in a good frame.

Lol. I feel like you could manufacture these all day.

[TURBO]

A Carpenter is Saving our bullpen

[The Chosen One]

A Carpenter is Saving our bullpen
:icwudt:

[Julio3000]

Lol. I feel like you could manufacture these all day.

It's like hitting off a tee (square).

[stpeteirish]

would be nice to see Kimbrel again

[TURBO]

Is this going to be another 1 out appearance for Avilan?

[TURBO]

would be nice to see Kimbrel again

Whatever happens he needs to pitch in this game.

[Tapate50]

Was that Fredi or Laird talking in the Merica bday montage?

[TURBO]

Was that Fredi or Laird talking in the Merica bday montage?

Maybe it was both :suprise:

[TURBO]

Another lead off hit. Lets get the lead. :tchop::tchop::tchop::tchop:

[stpeteirish]

wish we could play small ball here, but with McCann on base and Uggla hitting that's just not realistic. A strikeout is realistic.

[TURBO]

Well a strikeout is better the a DP here

[stpeteirish]

Whatever happens he needs to pitch in this game.

and Gearrin needs to not.

[The Chosen One]

and Gearrin needs to not.
Seems like Gearrin has just lost all confidence since that New York Mets game.

[TURBO]

what a ptiful AB by BJ

[The Chosen One]

We struck out the side there. :rock:

[TURBO]

Thought BJ might be turning it around. Looked rough last couple of games.

[stpeteirish]

what a ptiful AB by BJ

can't hit a fastball down the middle, and every pitcher in the NL knows it.

[TURBO]

Lulz at Mathis. That would be 3 balls not 4

[Gary82]

Way to go Walden!

[Frek21]

Lets go Terdo! How about a double

[TURBO]

And he Ks. He just wants to fit in with this team

[The Chosen One]

Terdo dropped a turd there.

[BremanFan88]

He's basically a switch hitting Chris Johnson right?

[AUTiger7222]

Figures I would walk outside to see the fireworks and miss Joey T's at-bat. Just my luck.

[DaneHill]

Terdo dropped a turd there.

:happy0157:

[TURBO]

Figures I would walk outside to see the fireworks and miss Joey T's at-bat. Just my luck.

didnt miss much

[BremanFan88]

Figures I would walk outside to see the fireworks and miss Joey T's at-bat. Just my luck.

You didn't miss much.

[BremanFan88]

didnt miss much

Repped.

[DaneHill]

Figures I would walk outside to see the fireworks and miss Joey T's at-bat. Just my luck.

Didn't miss much. I'm sure he was anxious. Hard to expect much out of him there with all that adrenaline. Hope to see more at-bats soon for him!

[TURBO]

Good AB by Simba. Hopefully Jason doesnt run into more badluck.

[Gary82]

Simmons at first. Come on Heyward, drive the bastard in.

[Gary82]

Damn it Jason. K's.

[TURBO]

weird, I thought Justin killed that ball of the bat.

[zitothebrave]

Out offense has been miserable.

[AUTiger7222]

Again Justin Upton hits the ball and it just doesn't go anywhere. Where is his power at?

[DaneHill]

Thought Justin got ahold of that one. Shoot.

[zitothebrave]

And I of course blame autiger for this!

[AUTiger7222]

weird, I thought Justin killed that ball of the bat.

Me too. I threw my arms up and everything. It looked just like all those homerun swings he had in April and it just did not go anywhere.

[Julio3000]

It fooled Ozuna, too. Granted, he's been fooled by almost every ball hit near him, but still...

[Frek21]

Have we had a runner reach second since the 1st?

[AUTiger7222]

And I of course blame autiger for this!

I'm ashamed of myself. Figures I would praise the offense and it would go back to sucking.

[stpeteirish]

just made AJ Ramos look like something special, which he probably isn't. Everyone trying to hit the game winning HR.

We better win this thing soon because if Gearrin pitches we lose.

[Julio3000]

Nooo.

[AUTiger7222]

McCann back to the old school mask.

[TURBO]

I think his other one got cracked last inning.

[stpeteirish]

He's basically a switch hitting Chris Johnson right?

right down to the swinging at crap in the dirt.

[TURBO]

Ugh, how do you walk the guy in front of Stanton. Power vs Power here

[Gary82]

Not a good start for Kimbrel. Gamecast said some of those pitches called balls were basically right down the middle of the zone. WTH

[zitothebrave]

right down to the swinging at crap in the dirt.

Boom roasted

[TURBO]

If Stanton squares up a fastball, it could go a long way.

[AUTiger7222]

I think his other one got cracked last inning.

Yeah but he's got the other one that he wears on the road (blue with silver trim) that he could have switched too. I remember one time Bobby saying he didn't like his catcher's wearing the hockey style mask. I could never figure out the reasoning for that.

[Julio3000]

Kimbrel'd.

[Gary82]

Big out there.

[TURBO]

This ump zone is horrible now. That was strike

[Julio3000]

That was a strike.

[AUTiger7222]

I just don't know what to say about the Upton's. Just when you think they're getting hot they start sucking again. I'm really starting to hate them the same way I do Uggla.

[Gary82]

2 walks in this inning, and from gamecast, most of those pitches were strikes. This ump is ****e.

[TURBO]

2 walks in this inning, and from gamecast, most of those pitches were strikes. This ump is ****e.

agreed

[Gary82]

2 down, one to go.

[TURBO]

Huge strikeout Kimbrel. One more out. Stay focused

[TURBO]

Ugh that sucks

[AUTiger7222]

CRAP!!!!!

[Frek21]

****!

[Gary82]

son of a *****!

[DaneHill]

:mad0182:

[zitothebrave]

Womp womp wonp

[Julio3000]

I blame the hideous caps.

[TURBO]

I blame the hideous caps.

I blame the new forums..


j/k Sav.

[stpeteirish]

are we allowed to pinch hit for Uggla or BJ? really can't win if its up to those guys.

[Julio3000]

This is set up perfectly for Dan Uggla to hit a towering warning track fly ball to almost win the game.

[TURBO]

Once again we get the leadoff man on. Good AB Freddie. Come on Mac

[Frek21]

Mac Attack time!

[AUTiger7222]

Hoping the Braves pull a Marlins and take advantage of a lead off walk.

[DaneHill]

This is set up perfectly for Dan Uggla to hit a towering warning track fly ball to almost win the game.

:happy0157:

[TURBO]

Pitch around Freddie and Mac. May be a smart idea lol

[DaneHill]

Bleh.

[Frek21]

Braves win % now 0.0000001

[The Chosen One]

Uggla really keeps his hair in great condition.

[AUTiger7222]

WOW! JUST FREAKING WOW!

[TURBO]

That got me so excited.. uhggggggggg

[Frek21]

What a play.

[stpeteirish]

****.

[zitothebrave]

All we need is a miracle,

[AUTiger7222]

I FEEL LIKE SCREAMING!!!!!!!!!!!

[DaneHill]

Flames....FLAMES coming out of my EARS.....

[stpeteirish]

Braves win % now 0.0000001

and dropping

[zitothebrave]

**** YOU BJ!

[AUTiger7222]

Braves deserve to lose. Score 3 runs in the 1st inning and then don't even get a runner to 2nd the rest of the game. PATHETIC! UNACCEPTABLE!

[Frek21]

Hey. Guess what? BJ swung through a fastball. Shocker

[DaneHill]

Well, that was a sorry way to end the holiday. Yay.

[AUTiger7222]

Man this team just pisses me off sometimes. They can't ever just lose 1 damn game and then get back to winning. Always a losing streak.

[tvsportscaster]

What an absolutely revolting loss. I sense they might be getting back into a little rut again.

[AUTiger7222]

Right now Justin Upton and BJ Upton do not deserve to be MLB starters! FACT!

[DaneHill]

Free Terdo!

[stpeteirish]

really need to play somebody instead of BJ, I'm serious he is hurting us big time . His average with RISP is the lowest in baseball. You can't give AB's to the worst player in baseball, the season is half over.

[ChapelHillMatt]

Can we just release BJ? He's killing us.

[stpeteirish]

Can we just release BJ? He's killing us.
no, but we don't have to play him every damned game, make him earn something, maybe he'll remember how to hit.

[Bdawg2309]

Started off with a bang and just **** the bed the rest of the series

[Gary82]

Can we just release BJ? He's killing us.

BJ had an OPS of .812 in June.

[AUTiger7222]

Over the last 16 games BJ is hitting .224/.322/.327 (.649). That's still pathetic.

[Gary82]

He's been one of our better hitters the past month or so. Take that for what its worth.

[Bdawg2309]

Gearrin to AAA, who will be called up?

[Runnin]

Not very much.

He's been one of our better hitters the past month or so. Take that for what its worth.

[bravesnumberone]

What a ****ing joke to lose two of three to the Marlins. Goodnight.

[TURBO]

[CyYoung31]

Reminds me of the Mets series. Had a decent lead in every single game and end up losing the series. Frustrating.
