[stpeteirish]

what happened to Lucas Duda?

[jpack1]

Why can't he hit heyward leadoff. So dumb.

J Hey

J up
Freddie
B Mac

Why is that so hard?

[CyYoung31]

Heyward

Uggla

Simmons

[NinersSBChamps]

Chalk up another loss. The OP is an automatic loss. :Gasp:

[BRule]

what happened to Lucas Duda?

1- He sucks

2- He strained something and is on a rehab assignment.

[parkvadawg]

Heyward
Upton
Freeman
McCann
Gattis
Uggla
Johnson
Simmons

Like it

[The Chosen One]

1- He sucks

2- He strained something and is on a rehab assignment.

If we can't beat the Mets without Lucas Duda, then we don't deserve to make hte playoffs.

[bravesnumberone]

Clearly you guys didn't do your job in the Fredi chat.

[Julio3000]

At least they don't have the T-hole anymore.

[CyYoung31]

Are we really getting a Wolverine pre-game tease?

[parkvadawg]

I didn't predict us to start hitting until Tomm so we win 3-2 today.

[parkvadawg]

Clean ab

[Tapate50]

Gah, Heyward has been so unlucky!

[thethe]

Gah, Heyward has been so unlucky!

You don't hear the Heyward/Upton defenders anymore.

I'm ok with Heyward because of his elite defense but Upton is a big problem moving forward. Arizona seems like the smart one now.

[parkvadawg]

We should strikeout more

[parkvadawg]

You don't hear the Heyward/Upton defenders anymore.

I'm ok with Heyward because of his elite defense but Upton is a big problem moving forward. Arizona seems like the smart one now.

Not really thethe. Prado is having a worse year than both of them

[CyYoung31]

You don't hear the Heyward/Upton defenders anymore.

I'm ok with Heyward because of his elite defense but Upton is a big problem moving forward. Arizona seems like the smart one now.

What in the jail are you talking about? Do you even read this board?

[thethe]

Not really thethe. Prado is having a worse year than both of them

Prado still plays great defense and Delgado has been good.

[CyYoung31]

Prado still plays great defense and Delgado has been good.

If you think Arizona won that trade you need to pack up your things and go home.

[Bdawg2309]

You don't hear the Heyward/Upton defenders anymore.

Sheesh, you really dislike Justin

And for some reason, believe BJ will improve??

[thethe]

If you think Arizona won that trade you need to pack up your things and go home.

And what if Delgado becomes a 2 or 3 starter and PRado returns to being a 3-4 WAR player?

[parkvadawg]

Prado still plays great defense and Delgado has been good.

We got the much better end of that deal. Wouldnt say Prado's D is great but certainly better than the other two. Delgado hasn't been better than Julio. We improved the team.

[Julio3000]

Delgado's doing well. I'd still make that deal every day.

Heyward had a hit, a walk, and a screamer to the LF warning track yesterday. He's fine.

[thethe]

Sheesh, you really dislike Justin

And for some reason, believe BJ will improve??

Nobody is as bad as BJ has been. Just becuase I think he will improve doesn't mean I think he will be good. At least Upton plays defense.

[parkvadawg]

And what if Delgado becomes a 2 or 3 starter and PRado returns to being a 3-4 WAR player?

And what if Justin returns to form? Based on what has happened, we won

[thethe]

And what if Justin returns to form? Based on what has happened, we won

Yes, Upton could still easily become a good player but he is being paid a lot while Delgado will be being paid nothing.

I'm just upset with Justin. I'd still make the deal but its very possible that Arizona traded someone that they thought didn't have what it takes to be a consistent major leaguer.

[CyYoung31]

And what if Delgado becomes a 2 or 3 starter and PRado returns to being a 3-4 WAR player?

What if Justin Upton becomes an MVP candidate? What if Chris Johnson contends for a batting title?

[NYCBrave]

Prado still plays great defense and Delgado has been good.

Prado has a .680 OPS out of the 3B position, and Delgado has a 1.43 whip and .314 BAA. If either of these guys were on our team this year, we'd be complaining to get them out of the lineup/rotation.

[Julio3000]

Time for Mac to show Mr. Hefner that he don't play, boy.

/COME ON CHIP

[parkvadawg]

Agree although some people still think Prado is having a better year than Uggla because of batting average and he doesn't strikeout a lot

[parkvadawg]

Lol. Gatticus

[CrimsonCowboy]

Uh, Gattis just went BOOOOMMMMM!

[thethe]

Thats my boy. HOpefully he gets hot.

[Five]

That ball was mauled.

[Julio3000]

Ursa MAJOR.

[parkvadawg]

We got our run. Handle business Huddy

[thethe]

I still don't get how people aren't sold on Gattis. The guy will sometimes swing at some ugly pitches but he works a lot of counts and has ridiculous plate coverage. You can't teach that power. He is still a guy that would hit 35+ homers if he played 150+ games.

[Tapate50]

Gattiskkake

[parkvadawg]

If he can learn to be a little more patient I'm in. I'm just Leary on letting him replace Mac

[thethe]

If he can learn to be a little more patient I'm in. I'm just Leary on letting him replace Mac

Yeah, I get that. He sure does like to swing. I think he just needs to learn some more pitch recognition because he hasn't seen any kind of curveballs since he didn't have much time in AA. Have faith. The guy is a stud. It really hurt this team when he got injurred.

[Tapate50]

Yeah, I get that. He sure does like to swing. I think he just needs to learn some more pitch recognition because he hasn't seen any kind of curveballs since he didn't have much time in AA. Have faith. The guy is a stud. It really hurt this team when he got injurred.

I agree with the last sentence.

[parkvadawg]

Get us started Chris

[thethe]

Simmons seems to really be seeing the ball better.

Did anyoen think he would have 10 homers before the end of July?

[CyYoung31]

Hey guys, did you know that Joe Simpson played with George Brett?

[Russ2dollas]

Yeah, I get that. He sure does like to swing. I think he just needs to learn some more pitch recognition because he hasn't seen any kind of curveballs since he didn't have much time in AA. Have faith. The guy is a stud. It really hurt this team when he got injurred.

I like Gattis. But he seems to struggle with anyone who can spot off speed pitches. He's on a team of free swinging power guys. I'm not sure he's a full time starter....I like him a lot, but I'm not totally sold.

I'd love to keep Mac, Let Gattis catch 2 days a week, PH, and play 1B and LF sometimes vs tough lefties.

[parkvadawg]

Simmons seems to really be seeing the ball better.

Did anyoen think he would have 10 homers before the end of July?

I was thinking the same. Sure he could. Hope that doesn't go to his head. He one of the folks that I always worry about when he goes yard

[weso1]

When Gattis hits wall scrapers, it's the wall of the 2nd deck.

[thethe]

I like Gattis. But he seems to struggle with anyone who can spot off speed pitches. He's on a team of free swinging power guys. I'm not sure he's a full time starter....I like him a lot, but I'm not totally sold.

I'd love to keep Mac, Let Gattis catch 2 days a week, PH, and play 1B and LF sometimes vs tough lefties.

I think his effectiveness will increase with more reps. As has been mentioned a million times..he has never gotten a long look at good breaking balls. It looks ugly at times now but he has shown signs taht he is able to hit those pitches.

[parkvadawg]

Gnats losing AGAIN

[bravesnumberone]

Joe left out cocaine....

[Julio3000]

Darn kids, spending all of daddy's blow money.

[thethe]

Wow, another laser from Heyward. I was sure he was going to be a top 5 player after that rookie year. I just don't know what has happened.

[Julio3000]

Ugh, bad 3-1 cut by Jason.

[bravesnumberone]

Wow, another laser from Heyward. I was sure he was going to be a top 5 player after that rookie year. I just don't know what has happened.

He's trapped in Bill Shanks' body.

[parkvadawg]

Wow, another laser from Heyward. I was sure he was going to be a top 5 player after that rookie year. I just don't know what has happened.

He is obviously pressing to prove he loves baseball

[bravesnumberone]

Won't complain about the inning. We hit a couple of ropes. Give Davis credit for sacrificing his body on the screamer by Heyward.

[parkvadawg]

Freddie's topspin cause way to much premature celebration

[parkvadawg]

Won't complain about the inning. We hit a couple of ropes. Give Davis credit for sacrificing his body on the screamer by Heyward.

You got your back handed complaint in :)

[Tapate50]

Skip must be dusting early. He is already tipping his cap...

[bravesnumberone]

Hooray leadoff walks...

[bravesnumberone]

You got your back handed complaint in :)

Haha, I'm just digging at Heyward. I think Bob Uecker said something similar in Major League.

[weso1]

Might be the first time I've seen that.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Wow! Has anyone ever seen a bat do that?

[parkvadawg]

Maybe if David W wasn't so worried about going half on a sack he wouldn't have hit himself in the head

[Tapate50]

Huddys pitches with a ton of movement tonight

[bravesnumberone]

Simmons is magical to watch defensively.

[Tapate50]

Huddys pitches with a ton of movement tonight unjinx

[CrimsonCowboy]

Where is the strike zone all of the sudden?

[weso1]

Simmons is magical to watch defensively.

He's incredibly fun to watch, that's for sure.

[bravesnumberone]

Brilliant pitch.

[bravesnumberone]

Fatty lol.

[TURBO]

Finally home. I need a recap

[thethe]

Hitting offspeed pitches.

[weso1]

McCann's speed causing problems for Murphy.

[weso1]

Finally home. I need a recap

HR Gattis... That's it.

[Gary82]

Good start so far. Our catchers are leading the way.

[thethe]

YES!!!

[thethe]

HR Gattis... That's it.

Not anymore.

[parkvadawg]

Uggs sucks

[CrimsonCowboy]

Dan, it would be kinda cool if you did that more often

[Tapate50]

McCann's speed causing problems for Murphy.

I snarfed.

Thunder Dan!!!

[bravesnumberone]

20 for Uggla.

[weso1]

Who hit that one? I forgot his name.

[Gary82]

Three True Outcomes! OWWWWWLLLLL

[Gary82]

Finally home. I need a recap

You got in just in time.

[parkvadawg]

Dan has helped this team. Hasn't been pretty but he is severely undervalued

[bravesnumberone]

BABIPimping

[parkvadawg]

Babin an bipin

[Gary82]

Uggla just surpassed last year's home run total.

[Bdawg2309]

let's hope hudson doesn't blow thie lead

[TURBO]

Uggs just needed me to watch him bat

[weso1]

Who hit that one? I forgot his name.

His name is Dan Uggla.

[Gary82]

BABIP batting 8th enrages me to no end.

[bravesnumberone]

Just swing away Huddy good grief.

[Gary82]

Uggla is back over the Mendoza line, btw.

[weso1]

Pollution sure does make the sky look purty.

[bravesnumberone]

Now watch us get shut out tomorrow.

[thethe]

LOL at those who said Simmons didn't have power. When will people learn that minor leaugue numbers don't mean everything.

Watch Bethancourt become a good major league hitter.

[Julio3000]

LOL @ Tron, leadoff hitter extraordinaire.

[parkvadawg]

You may have been on to something thethe

[weso1]

Simmons with his 11th of the year.

[Bdawg2309]

a home run by mr. "let's play small ball"

good job though

[Gary82]

Simmons!

Feast or Famine with this team. Tonight we dine!

[Bdawg2309]

Now watch us get shut out tomorrow.

if wheeler pitches tomorrow, i wouldn't be surprised... getaway day...early afternoon..

[thethe]

Remember when Keith Law said Simmons had zero power? Oscar Meyer remembers.

[Gary82]

LOL at those who said Simmons didn't have power. When will people learn that minor leaugue numbers don't mean everything.

Watch Bethancourt become a good major league hitter.

Eh, we'll see on that one. This guy won't be holding his breath.

[TURBO]

Uggla is back over the Mendoza line, btw.

[thethe]

You may have been on to something thethe

He has been on the ball a lot better lately. Guy will be a stud. He is just young.

[Julio3000]

Pardner, he hit that an AndrelTON.

/COME ON CHIP

[weso1]

All this griping in this series and the Braves are about to take 2 out of 3.

[Gary82]

if wheeler pitches tomorrow, i wouldn't be surprised... getaway day...early afternoon..

That is a recipe for disaster.

[thethe]

All this griping in this series and the Braves are about to take 2 out of 3.

4 game series!!!

[parkvadawg]

Simmons!

Feast or Famine with this team. Tonight we dine!

Nope tonight we go on another 10-1 steak. That way we can play .500 ball the rest of the year and none be happy about winning the division by 16 games :)

[weso1]

4 game series!!!

I realize that... now.

[Gary82]

Nope tonight we go on another 10-1 steak. That way we can play .500 ball the rest of the year and none be happy about winning the division by 16 games :)

Whatever it takes.

[weso1]

That was an interesting fact.

[CyYoung31]

All this griping in this series and the Braves are about to take 2 out of 3.

It's a 4 game series.

[weso1]

It's a 4 game series.

But is it a 4 game series?

[CyYoung31]

But is it a 4 game series?

I have doubts.

[Julio3000]

We'll definitely win two of the first three, and two of the last three.

[Julio3000]

I have doubts.

if Weso1 even loves math?

[Gary82]

I have doubts.

Stick with your convictions, man!

[JusticeForAll23]

4 game series?

Anyone got a link?

I think the Braves have cornered the market on bald white dudes.

Never happened.

[thethe]

Geez, he loves to swing.

[stpeteirish]

huddy in full cruise mode. grounder, grounder, strikeout

[chopdrew]

Where's Grayson dawg w that pastornicky over Uggla drivel.

Dan Uggla isn't the problem.

[Julio3000]

Simmons tried to yard that one.

[parkvadawg]

Where's Grayson dawg w that pastornicky over Uggla drivel.

Dan Uggla isn't the problem.

Correct. Not worth the money but very far from the problem

[bravesnumberone]

If I were an opposing manager, I'd fine my pitchers if they threw Heyward anything other than something low and at the ankles with two strikes.

[bravesnumberone]

Nats and Phils still losing their games.

[zitothebrave]

Man Tim Hudson sure does stink. He should be traded for a bag of balls.

[thethe]

Wow, Justin Upton is awesome. Is still a correction for April Zito?

[jsebe10]

Boys swinging it good tonight.

[Tapate50]

His name is Dan Uggla.

I was coming to your aid, but the wife walked in with some Mexican food.

[AerchAngel]

I wish Gattis got that in the air. 3rd deck maybe?

[thethe]

I wish Gattis got that in the air. 3rd deck maybe?

If he keeps getting into hitters counts he is going to be a big time player.

[bravesnumberone]

Pirates need three more outs. I know the Nats suck right now, but Pittsburgh is looking like it will be a very dangerous club.

[TURBO]

Pirates need three more outs. I know the Nats suck right now, but Pittsburgh is looking like it will be a very dangerous club.

Losing Grilli will hurt. Melacon(sp?) has been solid though.

[Tapate50]

Beachy with a nice start. Fredi indicating they may give him one more turn before he is ready .

[bravesnumberone]

That would be the smartest approach. Make sure he is ready to contribute.

[bravesnumberone]

Damnit.

[thethe]

You have to be kidding me.

[Tapate50]

Wellllll ****.

[thethe]

There goes Huddy for the year.

[bravesnumberone]

Well scratch what I said about Beachy...omg that looked terrible.

[BlackwaterPark]

Oh mother **** it all

[The Chosen One]

Looks like Medlen will stay in the rotation now.

Damnit.

[ChapelHillMatt]

Bye Huddy

Broken ankle at the very least

[TURBO]

not good

[AerchAngel]

Broken ankle or messed up Achilles.

Not Youngs fault at all and Braves showed class and saying it wasn't/

[thethe]

What a horrible night.

[Orphan Black]

Yikes that looked just horrible. I can't see him back this year. Seriously cringed seeing the replay

[BlackwaterPark]

Where the hell are the staff jesus christ

[AerchAngel]

Young praying.

All class.

[AerchAngel]

something happened. He has his hands behind his head.


This is not good. This sucks. It was an accident a freakish accident.

[AerchAngel]

Yikes that looked just horrible. I can't see him back this year. Seriously cringed seeing the replay

Not like Theisman and others but in baseball this is close as it gets.

[ChapelHillMatt]

What makes this so hard to stomach is he was pitching his best baseball of the year.

Hope Beachy is ready.

[zitothebrave]

Shame to lose Huddy. Hopefully the injury isn't too bad and he'll be back in a month or so but I'm not counting on it. At least we have Beachy coming back.

[Julio3000]

****, what happened?

[striker42]

That was ugly. Really, really ugly. I'm hoping it's just a broken ankle. That will heal quicker and with less future effects than if things are torn or even badly sprained.

Nice to see Eric Young go straight to check on Tim then stand off to the side with his cross necklace praying for him. Good guy.

[BlackwaterPark]

Whys the team doc not there?

[The Chosen One]

Freeman probably feels like crap because he botched that groundball. That would've been him throwing it to second for the DP.

[bravesnumberone]

He's made two incredible starts since the break, getting into the eighth inning. Tonight is as good as I've seen him look in a while. Terrific movement, just rotten luck.

[Bdawg2309]

Wonder if they'll be more inclined to throw money at the Cuban pitcher now

[Orphan Black]

****, what happened?

Eric Young stepped on the side of Hudson leg with his first on first, and his ankle collapsed sideways. No one's fault...Hudson had has leg on the home plate side of the bag and Young couldn't avoid it...Hudson being carted off.

[Tapate50]

That was ugly. Really, really ugly. I'm hoping it's just a broken ankle. That will heal quicker and with less future effects than if things are torn or even badly sprained.

Striker!
Good to see ya.

That was brutal. Young is a quality young man.

[TURBO]

I feel for young too.

[The Chosen One]

Not to sound like a dick, but the silver lining if any in this, is that Hudson may have ot take a lesser contract coming off the injury.

[AerchAngel]

Great post and I agree on the bold part

[Tapate50]

****, what happened?

It was a no doubter bad injury when it happened. Just one of those things you just know when you see it.

[Orphan Black]

That was uglier than Reyes' injury from earlier this year...it took Reyes three months to get back.

[ChapelHillMatt]

That was uglier than Reyes' injury from earlier this year...it took Reyes three months to get back.

He's done for the year, no doubt in my mind.

[DaneHill]

I was just wondering about his contract situation. This is Huddy's last year under contract, right? We may have just seen his last pitch as a Brave if so.

[BlackwaterPark]

Video

http://www.mobypicture.com/user/_markberry/view/15684564

[rniki10]

Ugh, this just makes me sick. I love Huddy, probably my favorite current Brave. It looked like he was really getting it together too. Great performance tonight. I feel bad for Young too as he seemed to be in tears. Not his fault at all. Sometimes accidents just happen.

Also, I hope that wasn't the last time we've seen Huddy pitch in a Braves uni.

[AerchAngel]

I feel for young too.

classy post

[Orphan Black]

I really hope this isn't the last game we see from Hudson in a Braves' uniform.

[striker42]

Striker!
Good to see ya.

That was brutal. Young is a quality young man.

Good to be here!

Young showed class and the Mets fans actually followed his lead.

[bravesnumberone]

Alright, we need to finish this game.

[parkvadawg]

Wow this sucks. Huddybwas primed for a great second half

[NYCBrave]

I was just wondering about his contract situation. This is Huddy's last year under contract, right? We may have just seen his last pitch as a Brave if so.

I was thinking also that might be the last time we see Hudson throw a pitch as a Brave. Really sad if so, wouldn't want to see him go out that way.

[Julio3000]

Ugh.

[BlackwaterPark]

Has Wood started yet in AAA?

[parkvadawg]

I was just wondering about his contract situation. This is Huddy's last year under contract, right? We may have just seen his last pitch as a Brave if so.

That's the horrible part

[BlackwaterPark]

Why bring Walden in with a 4 run lead?

[Dunit24]

in no order

minor
teheran
medlen
beachy
maholm/wood

wren..get on the phones

[tvsportscaster]

Not knowing what the injury is to Tim, but you'd have to think he's done for the year. Is having Brandon Beachy ready to come back and move into Tim's spot enough or will it prompt Wren to perhaps seek another starter.

[Tapate50]

Has Wood started yet in AAA?

Yeah, had a peach of a start .

[parkvadawg]

Has Wood started yet in AAA?

Pretty sure yes

[bravesnumberone]

Why bring Walden in with a 4 run lead?

It's one swing away from being a two-run game.

[BlackwaterPark]

Yeah, had a peach of a start .


Not sure if serious

[skidlee]

Not sure if serious

What do you mean has wood started in AAA yet?

[jsebe10]

Not knowing what the injury is to Tim, but you'd have to think he's done for the year. Is having Brandon Beachy ready to come back and move into Tim's spot enough or will it prompt Wren to perhaps seek another starter.
Don't know its to that extent...but it does certainly mean Mr Medlen is going to have to put his pitching panties on and pull his head out his ass and get big for us now...plain and simple...less Twitter more pitching.

[weso1]

Just hard to enjoy this win now.

[jsebe10]

Atchison looks like my uncle Mitch.

[striker42]

Wood has started in AAA. He started the 18th, went 5 innings, 3 hits, 1 R, 2BB, 5K

[AerchAngel]

Gosh this sucks. Tim was pitching is best game in a while and this happens. He had everything working tonight, EVERYTHING.

[Russ2dollas]

Huddy gone for year.

Simmons more HRs than JHey, FF and BJ.......dob pointed it out..........amazing this is a top 4 nl team with that

[tvsportscaster]

I do want to add my two cents about Eric Young. That was one of the classiest reactions I've seen in a longtime. He didn't go into the dugout until after Hudson was carted off. Very classy gesture.

[bravebonebook]

in no order

minor
teheran
medlen
beachy
maholm/wood

wren..get on the phones

Now Wren will have to. That rotation might be able to hold on for the NL Least title but in no way will go far in the playoffs!

[Tapate50]

Dan looking very good. Talk about a guy that can carry a team when hot... It's just been so long I forgot...

[Bj1133]

Feel terrible for Huddy. Hope for the best but that looked like it could end his season

[bravesnumberone]

As much as he can piss me off, LOVE Uggla's hustle. Would love it more if we just didn't lose THE veteran on our team.

[Tapate50]

Huddy gone for year.

Simmons more HRs than JHey, FF and BJ.......dob pointed it out..........amazing this is a top 4 nl team with that

Simmons for cleanup!

I kid, but that's pretty sad when your "no stick" SS is out producing your "stars"

[Heyward]

Ugh didnt see it but from sounds of it looks like Huddy is done.

He's probably been our best starter in the last few months...

Insert Beachy.

[Tapate50]

Simmons looking good at the dish also

[bravebonebook]

Huddy gone for year.

Simmons more HRs than JHey, FF and BJ.......dob pointed it out..........amazing this is a top 4 nl team with that

Bite your jinxing tongue! Won't give up hope for a recovery this season until the final diagnosis comes in.

[AerchAngel]

Young's face says it all, that young man is hurting, badly.

[thethe]

Help my fantasy team Jason....PLEASE

[Tapate50]

Young's face says it all, that young man is hurting, badly.

Yep. Think a lot of him after all that. Know that's hard for him

[BlackwaterPark]

MLB Network shows Huddys injury 4 sets of highlights later :( If he was a Sox or Yankee they would stop the show for him

[Heyward]

Just hard to enjoy this win now.

Yup feels like a loss

[thethe]

Of course UPton will hit a homerun here.

[bravesnumberone]

Need Justin to be big here.

Still walking a lot of people though.

If he keeps getting into hitters counts he is going to be a big time player.
You should change your moniker to "ifif". :winking0016:

[bravesnumberone]

MLB Network shows Huddys injury 4 sets of highlights later :( If he was a Sox or Yankee they would stop the show for him

They showed it as it was happening.

[weso1]

Gnats lose again.. Unbelievable.

Phils getting killed as well.

[Tapate50]

First 5 hitters....2/19. Cap tipped to Simmons.

[emk418]

Man I feel sick after seeing that. Couldn't happen to a better player on and off the field. Let's hope for a speedy recovery.

But I disagree about the rotation. We are fine.

[thethe]

Shocker. Upton comes through when it matters.

[bravesnumberone]

Well Heyward is getting owned by that guy this series.

[zitothebrave]

Good job Justin.

[Tapate50]

JHey didn't beat the throw. Doesn't love baseball or doesn't care?

[skidlee]

Shocker. Upton comes through when it matters.

But did it really matter?

5 run lead in the 9th and he then gets a hit with RISP.

Won't call that clutch

[The Chosen One]

Loves not caring.

[bravesnumberone]

Heyward used up all his weekly care points on Monday.

[AerchAngel]

Well we probably will win and the other two teams lost, but if this is Hudson's career, it will be the most rotten thing to ever happen to me as a Braves fan after seeing Bob Horner's career get crushed by his brittle wrist. Hudson was a bulldog like Horner and Horner is one of those hitter's I would love to imitate, Gattis is the closest I seen in a short stroke.

I was being sarcastic.

[The Chosen One]

Ayala looks nervous out there.

[skidlee]

never understood the ayala trade

[Mrs. Meta]

Ayala looks nervous out there.

"...first time?

No, I've been nervous lots of times."

[weso1]

Obviously it sucks and makes me feel sick to my stomach because it happened to Huddy, but I think I've become desensitized to bad injuries like this. After the Kevin Ware injury and the Marcus Lattimore injury the actual act of the injury itself did nothing to me.

[bravebonebook]

Now Freeman makes the play. Boy, baseball sux sometimes.

[The Chosen One]

Didn't we sign him after he got DFA'd?

I don't think that's the last we'll see of Hudson. It might not be in a Braves uniform, but remember Chipper refused to end his career on an injury mid season, and I believe Hudson won't either. He'll fight to get back.

[The Chosen One]

I wonder how Hudson's injury effects Teheran now.

I'm sure Wren was hoping Wood and Beachy coming back would reduce Teheran's innings, and not have to worry about Huddy going 5-6 innings out there per start.

Maybe we go with a 6-man rotation with all the inexperience?

[skidlee]

Didn't we sign him after he got DFA'd?

I thought we traded for him

Yeah we traded the lefty we got for Lowe from the Indians

Well right now all we have is 5 healthy starters with 2 of them being rookies

[Gary82]

Damn it. I leave and come back to a gruesome injury to Huddy. I sure hope the best for him and a quick recovery. He's probably done for the year, and I wonder what Wren does. We do have options.

[The Chosen One]

Forgot about Maholm.

You're right. Well, if the future of this rotation is gonna do something, they're going ot have to pitch us to the playoffs.

Medlen
Minor
Teheran
Beachy
Wood

Time is now to shine.

[Runnin]

At least Huddy got the W. If his season is over he will continue his streak of winning seasons.
