Joey Terdoslavich LF
BRANDON BEACHY P

[thethe]

Hell yeah...loving Heyward in the leadoff spot and rewarding Terdo for getting that big hit!

[stpeteirish]

Playing Terdo over Reed J. vs LHP, interesting. CJ hitting 5th, don't think he's hit there before (has hit 2nd).

[tvsportscaster]

Playing Terdo over Reed J. vs LHP, interesting. CJ hitting 5th, don't think he's hit there before (has hit 2nd).

Two things remember, Reed tweaked his achillies and had to come out of last night's game, so he's probably not available and there is a lefty on the mound, so it wouldn't be Constanza and secondly, yes, CJ has hit 5th several times this year.

[jpack1]

Good lineup. Now let's score 10.

[bravesnumberone]

Like the lineup. Pumped to see Beachy's name there too.

[The Chosen One]

I wonder if Beachy only has 80 pitches after 6 innings if Fredi will take him out on a leash or let him back in.

[jpx7]

Also nice to reward The Big Terd for his key pinch-hit last night.

[The Chosen One]

Poor Laird.

Gattis has a terrible all-around game last night, and he still can't get in a start at catcher. LOL

[rico43]

Calling yard for JoeT tonight. Props to ESPN's schulman for smoothly running over his name last night. Hershiser refused to try it!

[sentenza]

Jacke Parkman starts in LF! Nice! Time for his 1. Homerun!

[Julio3000]

Also nice to reward The Big Terd for his key pinch-hit last night.

For once it's good to have a Terd out there.

That was not Dan Schulman last night, he was on vacation. Former Braves broadcaster Dave O'Brien was doing the game last night.

In most circumstances, Orel and Terds shouldn't mix.

[yeezus]

In most circumstances, Orel and Terds shouldn't mix.

Most.
?

[jpx7]

Most.
?

Hey man, I'm not going to tell Cartman's mom what she can and can't do with her body.

[Dalyn]

I would switch Justin and Uggla, but not having Simmons at the top is so cool I can overlook that for a few more games.

[The Chosen One]

The question is, when BJ gets back, does he hit 8th or 7th.

I fear even if he hits 8th and they try to pitch around him to get to the pitcher, that he will strike out.

[Nerfherders]

Oh snap, I forgot this game will actually be on TV here tonight. The only downside is that I have to listen to the Rockies announcers. :/

[yeezus]

Hey man, I'm not going to tell Cartman's mom what she can and can't do with her body.

Interesting.

[MadduxFanII]

I'd probably prefer Johnson hitting second, at least until Justin figures out what the bloody hell is going on, but it's hard to get too worked up over this.

[parkvadawg]

Very excited about seeing Beachy . If he can slowly come along and be what he was last year, Minor, Julio and Beachy might just get it done in the playoffs.

[emk418]

I'm so excited to have Beachy back on the mound.

[Hulavol]

This is a big time lineup. I love it.

I suspect Beachy will own these chumps too.

[IowaBrave14]

who is beachy replacing?

Nevermind I see that it is Huddy

[stpeteirish]

who is beachy replacing?

Nevermind I see that it is Huddy

actually Wood replaced Huddy roster wise and Beachy will replace Maholm. Maholm can be DL'd retroactively.

[parkvadawg]

This is a big time lineup. I love it.

I suspect Beachy will own these chumps too.

Rockies can hit

[Slippyjms]

Rockies can hit

Beachy can pitch!!!

[Hulavol]

Beachy can pitch!!!

My money is on the Beach!!!

[CrimsonCowboy]

What is on Chip's coat?

[CyYoung31]

What is on Chip's coat?

Cocaine residue, obviously.

[bravebonebook]

The question is, when BJ gets back, does he hit 8th or 7th.

I fear even if he hits 8th and they try to pitch around him to get to the pitcher, that he will strike out.

Bat BJ 10th. Off the bench until Bossman can prove he knows how to handle his stick again.

[bravebonebook]

If Harry and Skip were heavy into booze, Chip is into the refreshing taste of 'Coke', what will his kids try? Rocket fuel? :icon_biggrin:

[tvsportscaster]

I just posted this in the Downs thread, but he has indeed been activated for tonight's game and as expected Kameron Loe has been designated for assignment.

[Dalyn]

This should be fun. Eager to see Beachy pitch.

[Dalyn]

Beachy's legs look a little bigger.

[BlackwaterPark]

So happy Brandon is back! I am a huge fan of his

[jpx7]

What is on Chip's coat?

Can we get a screenshot?

[parkvadawg]

So happy for the Beachy

[Braves1976]

It's too bad about Reed's injury given his numbers against De La Rosa.

[emk418]

Hopefully nobody freaks out here if Beachy has a rough start.

[parkvadawg]

Welp get over the jitters

[Braves1976]

Not a good start by Beachy. A couple bad pitches already. Hopefully he settles down.

[Dalyn]

Man. Beachy's career is over. So sad. One of my recent favorite players.

[emk418]

No problem....hold them here and he'll settle down.

[BlackwaterPark]

Everything is up

[thethe]

Everything is right over the plate. he just needs to calm down. Fowler I thought hit a solid pitch.

[mfree80]

So far his FB looks straight.

[Dalyn]

Evidently, Beachy hasn't heard that we signed Downs, not Ups.

[thethe]

Nasty pitch.

[parkvadawg]

That was a nice breaking ball

[datdude12]

nice pitch beach

[Braves1976]

Nice strikeout of Tulo, now let's get this inning over and settle in.

[thethe]

That was a good inning. Still think Fowler hit a good pitch.

[The Chosen One]

One thing I love about Beachy is his efficient innings.

Unfortunately Medlen or Teheran would've thrown 18-20 pitches that inning.

[Dalyn]

Some bad pitches; some good pitches.

[TDlxANDER]

An 11 pitch first...not bad

[The Chosen One]

So far his FB looks straight.

His fastball has always been relatively straight, it's the location and command he possesses.

[parkvadawg]

His fastball has always been relatively straight, it's the location and command he possesses.

Yep also with his delivery it hides it

[CyYoung31]

One thing I love about Beachy is his efficient innings.

Unfortunately Medlen or Teheran would've thrown 18-20 pitches that inning.

Beachy was terribly inefficient until last year.

[The Chosen One]

Beachy was terribly inefficient until last year.

The exact opposite of Hanson.

[CyYoung31]

Was it Jpx who was pimping Beachy before anyone else?

[parkvadawg]

We score 6 against this guy

[jpx7]

Meanwhile: the Pirates are already up 4-0 on the Cardinals.

[jpx7]

Was it Jpx who was pimping Beachy before anyone else?

Yes. If only I were thethe, then everyone would have known that.

[CyYoung31]

The exact opposite of Hanson.

He was much worse than Hanson until last year.

[Braves1976]

Cardinals already down 4-0 to Pittsburgh, looks like they've hit a skid.

[The Chosen One]

He was much worse than Hanson until last year.

Indeed.

They went backwards.

Hanson was terrible last year, Beachy was awesome (for those few months).

[Braves1976]

Wow, Heyward chased a bad one there.

[Dalyn]

Was it Jpx who was pimping Beachy before anyone else?

Possibly. I was right there with him.

[datdude12]

watching this guys wind up is gonna piss me off

[parkvadawg]

Justin goes bonkers today

[zitothebrave]

J-Upton doesn't care about baseball.

[The Chosen One]

Anybody know if we did anything for Todd Helton?

It's his last series here, so just curious.

[Julio3000]

Can we get a screenshot?

Certainly.
http://i1239.photobucket.com/albums/ff511/poinsett/null_zpsab9a0c6d.jpg

[thethe]

Man, Gattis is starting to piss me off with all these first pitch swings.

[thethe]

Yes. If only I were thethe, then everyone would have known that.

True story.

[Dalyn]

Man, Gattis is starting to piss me off with all these first pitch swings.

If he is pissing you off, Fredi must be about ready to move him to the top of the order.

[Braves1976]

That kid for Colorado at third is impressive. That ball hit hard by Gattis is a hit past a lot of third baseman. He also leads the NL among third baseman in defensive runs saved.

[CyYoung31]

Yes. If only I were thethe, then everyone would have known that.

I knew it. You're important to me, Jonathon Patrick Xavier the 7th.

[CyYoung31]

Man, Gattis is starting to piss me off with all these first pitch swings.

Not going to be the player we thought he was.

[Dalyn]

Nice pitch, you son of a beachy.

[Julio3000]

Was it Jpx who was pimping Beachy before anyone else?

Yes, but it was an understated, bookish sort of pimping.

Take it from thethe...or Dominic Strauss-Kahn. Aggravated pimping gets you noticed.

[Dalyn]

Out of the zone only here.

[jpx7]

Yes, but it was an understated, bookish sort of pimping.

Take it from thethe...or Dominic Strauss-Kahn. Aggravated pimping gets you noticed.

It's another one of those Orel convictions.

[The Chosen One]

Well that sucks.

[Dalyn]

Damn. I knew that was going to happen if he put it in the zone.

[CrimsonCowboy]

How did that get out of the park?

[Braves1976]

We should've just walked him once it became 3-2 count given who's due up. Oh well.

[Dalyn]

How did that get out of the park?

He destroyed it. I imagine that had something to do with it.

[thethe]

He's rusty out there. Trying to overthrow.

[Bdawg2309]

Lol @ the person who called the Rockies bums

[Dalyn]

Seems like the Rockies are seeing beachyballs out there.

[Braves1976]

Beachy not his old self so far, even the number 8 hitter got him.

[Gary82]

Not a good start from Beachy. I'm sure he's pressing a bit.

[Dalyn]

He's rusty out there. Trying to overthrow.

Yeah. Still needed a start or three in the minors. But he is going to be fine.

[jpx7]

I knew it. You're important to me, Jonathon Patrick Xavier the 7th.

I shall nominate you as my royal biographer, pending your elevation into the order-of-pantless-merit.

[emk418]

Beachy not his old self so far, even the number 8 hitter got him.

The number 8 hitter is one of the top prospects in baseball.

[parkvadawg]

We should've just walked him once it became 3-2 count given who's due up. Oh well.

With no one on?

[The Chosen One]

I shall nominate you as my royal biographer, pending your elevation into the order-of-pantless-merit.

The flirting going on, on this board... worry some.

[thethe]

Not going to be the player we thought he was.

I disagree. I think he is still just learning how to hit.

[CrimsonCowboy]

This is a good Rockies lineup. Tough for any pitcher who hasn't been in the majors in over a year to face.

[The Chosen One]

Don't scare me like that Joey T.

[thethe]

Terdo looks real comfortable out in LF.

[Braves1976]

The number 8 hitter is one of the top prospects in baseball.

I know, I was praising him earlier. But he's not at that potential yet. I expect him to improve in the future however.

[Braves1976]

With no one on?

It was a 3-2 count and he has a lot of power. Plus Beachy is just back, so yes that's an easy call for me. If the count was not 3-2 it would be different.

I'll take my chances with the 8 hole hitter and pitcher up next in that situation.

[jpx7]

The flirting going on, on this board... worry some.

Well then do your damn job and delete all the posts in this thread sans your own.

[thethe]

Way to make him work boys!

[datdude12]

simmons does that better than just about anyone...he can hit a popup with the best of them

[parkvadawg]

It was a 3-2 count and he has a lot of power. Plus Beachy is just back, so yes that's an easy call for me. If the count was not 3-2 it would be different.

We certainly disagree. I would wouldn't even walk Babe Ruth in that situation

[Julio3000]

It's another one of those Orel convictions.

You may be developing an Orel fixation.

[Bdawg2309]

Must be the curse of the infield fly for Simmons

[Dalyn]

simmons does that better than just about anyone...he can hit a popup with the best of them

Bet he was a monster in t-ball.

[Braves1976]

simmons does that better than just about anyone...he can hit a popup with the best of them

If there were a wall in the sky Simmons would put up monster power numbers.

[thethe]

Nice play Justin!

[Dalyn]

Surprised he caught that.

[Braves1976]

We certainly disagree. I would wouldn't even walk Babe Ruth in that situation

There was already one out, so you rather face Babe Ruth than an 8th hole hitter and pitcher? OK...

[jpx7]

You may be developing an Orel fixation.

http://memecrunch.com/meme/KVZF/you-forgot-to-say-away-again/image.png

[parkvadawg]

There was already one out, so you rather face Babe Ruth than an 8th hole hitter and pitcher? OK...

I don't intentionally walk anyone with no one on in the second inning.

[striker42]

Beachy hasn't looked bad. His stuff is there. He's struggled with location and has been missing up. Might be overthrowing a bit.

Looks like his curveball location has been a fight. The curve is usually the last pitch back after TJ though.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Anytime they show Walt Weiss, can't help but to think about that remarkable play in the postseason against the Astros

[Braves1976]

I don't intentionally walk anyone with no one on in the second inning. Then of course the pitcher bunts and a runner is in scoring position for the top of the order.

The pitcher cannot bunt with two outs. The object is to get the 8th hole hitter. If you do the inning is basically over unless a good hitting pitcher. De La Rosa is a bad hitting pitcher though. I was keeping that in mind.

Also, I didn't say walk him till it became a 3-2 count.

[thethe]

Damn Tulo is a great hitter.

[Dalyn]

Joe's been reading my posts.

[parkvadawg]

I was thinking he was the 8 hole hitter but still my opinion remains. You don't give away base runners with no one on and less than 2 outs

[thethe]

I blame the mullet.

[jpx7]

Joe's been reading my posts.

At least one of the guys in the booth can read.

[Braves1976]

I was thinking he was the 8 hole hitter but still my opinion remains. You don't give away base runners with no one on and less than 2 outs

I figured as much, but I think you're now just being stubborn.

[Dalyn]

Plunk. BJ catches that.

[thethe]

Everything is right over the plate. Oh well....have a better outing next time Beachy.

[Braves1976]

Well, Beachy clearly wasn't ready to return but Heyward usually catches that ball.

[jpx7]

Plunk. BJ catches that.

I honestly thought Heyward had it until he didn't.

[Dalyn]

Well, Beachy clearly wasn't ready to return but Heyward usually catches that ball.


If it had to be obvious, I am glad it happened before the deadline. We need another starter.

[parkvadawg]

I figured as much, but I think you're now just being stubborn.

Stubborn? You wouldn't find many people that would walk Rosario with nobody on and one out. Regardless of the count

[Dalyn]

Wouldn't be surprised to see Fredi pitch Downs for three innings or so, just to welcome him to Atlanta.

[thethe]

Beachy still needs to give us another inning or two. Those kinds of things get overlooked but really help the team.

[COGPK]

This solidifies the fact we have to get a starter. Beachy will not be ready until next year.

[parkvadawg]

This is a serious buzzkill after the Cardinal massacre

[Braves1976]

Who was it that said we'd beat up on the Cardinals and then lose three of four against the Rockies?

[Dalyn]

Beachy still needs to give us another inning or two. Those kinds of things get overlooked but really help the team.

He might make it through the 4th now. Wouldn't count on more than that.

[CrimsonCowboy]

I'm not real worried. Like I said, this is a tough lineup to pitch against when you've been out of MLB for over a year because of injury. What I wanted to see tonight is how hard he is throwing. Happy to see his velocity in the 90-92 range. Big thing is how he feels after the game and tomorrow. If he feels good, that is going to be more important than the results tonight.

[parkvadawg]

Agreed

[stpeteirish]

5-0 but its never over in this ballpark. wait, wrong ballpark.

[emk418]

I just don't see how anybody says he isn't ready. This is expected his first game back. I'm actually liking the fact that his velocity is decent and has been getting a few K's. Every outing he will continue to get sharper.

[parkvadawg]

Nice job

[Dalyn]

Nice start! Pinch-hit here.

[TDlxANDER]

It's nice to be up 8+ games and be able to almost play this as a spring game. Not saying they're not trying to win...but this just felt like a "lets see how Brandon feels" type of game.

[parkvadawg]

I still think we score 6. Just got to hold them to 5 somehow

[zitothebrave]

Well this game is out of control. Wommmmmp.

[bravesnumberone]

Disappointing that Beachy is getting rocked. But I don't think it would kill our offense to score 6-7 runs.

[Dalyn]

Great bunt! Beachy must not have had time to work on that at this level yet.

[datdude12]

nice bunt by beach

[TDlxANDER]

I was cheering for Jorge to throw that into RF

[CrimsonCowboy]

Hey, did you know Fox Sports 1 is coming August 17th? I had no idea!

[stpeteirish]

Beachy still needs to give us another inning or two. Those kinds of things get overlooked but really help the team.

guess Fredi agrees, they just sent him up to bunt down 5 runs.

[zitothebrave]

Good Job heyward.

[jpx7]

Heyward has really been driving some pitches authoritatively in recent games.

[Dalyn]

Very nice. Want to see a steal here, Fredi. Do you hear me?

[Bj1133]

On the board!

[Braves1976]

That's why I like Heyward hitting lead-off. Though maybe not so much against certain lefties.

[Dalyn]

Heyward has really been driving some pitches recently.

Was going to make a Miss Daisy joke, but then I realized you said PITCHES.

[COGPK]

I just don't see how anybody says he isn't ready. This is expected his first game back. I'm actually liking the fact that his velocity is decent and has been getting a few K's. Every outing he will continue to get sharper.

I am just going by all the conversation about how long it takes for guys to make it all the way back. It's usually closer to 18 months. I'm not saying he's not serviceable, but we're trying to win a championship and we better go get one more starter.

[parkvadawg]

Jason will have a monster last two months as well as Justin

[Dalyn]

who?

[parkvadawg]

Nice ab

[bravesnumberone]

Do something here Freeman.

[zitothebrave]

Good AB Justin

Please deliver here Freddie.

[stpeteirish]

I smell a comeback win.

[jpx7]

Was going to make a Miss Daisy joke, but then I realized you said PITCHES.

Someone with more advanced meme-generation aptitude than I have really needs to photoshop Jason's head onto Morgan Freeman's shoulders along with a Driving Miss(ed) Pitches tagline.

[thethe]

Please don't swing at the first pitch Gattis.

[Dalyn]

Terrible baserunning there. Come on, Gattis!

[CrimsonCowboy]

Here we go..........

[TDlxANDER]

Got something brewing here

[parkvadawg]

Freeman obviously loves baseball enough to only be under .300 for one AB

[zitothebrave]

Heyward was held????? SHOCKED!!!!

Time for Gattis to go gonzo.

[thethe]

Oh come on Gattis. Why.

[parkvadawg]

Boom!

[TDlxANDER]

That kid's a beast at 3b...

[CrimsonCowboy]

Gattis just got bailed out

[bravesnumberone]

Well he tried his best to hit into a damn DP. Thanks, Rockies.

[Dalyn]

Gift.


After a terrible at-bat. Horrible. Horrible. Horrible. Plunking Gattis.

[jpx7]

Please don't swing at the first pitch Gattis.

Well, at least Arenado bailed him out on that cabbage.

[Braves1976]

Wow, a great defender boots an easy one.

[datdude12]

i'll take it!

[thethe]

I just don't get what goes on in Gattis mind. He does well when he works the count.

[Dalyn]

A bloop grand slam would be nice here.

[thethe]

BABIP!!!

[TURBO]

All he does is hit

[thethe]

A bloop grand slam would be nice here.

:banana:

[Dalyn]

That will plunking work! Johnson is the ****. Wow.

[zitothebrave]

Please Johnson, please please please.

Yes!

[parkvadawg]

Our offense sucks

[BlackwaterPark]

http://files.sharenator.com/****_yeah_Not_the_sexy_post_I_d_promised_but-s400x317-164482-460.jpg

[jpx7]

BArbi.

[thethe]

You all need to recognize that Johnson is in the prime of his career. He will be our third baseman at least till the end of the next year.

[Bj1133]

All he does is hit!

[CrimsonCowboy]

Why some still can't say Chris Johnson is a good player, I can't imagine why

[Braves1976]

YES, big hit CJ! Please Uggla if there was a time for a big hit. At least tie it up Uggla!

[jpx7]

A bloop grand slam would be nice here.

This got me pretty good.

[Runnin]

That was a very adequate at bat by Chris Johnson.

[parkvadawg]

You all need to recognize that Johnson is in the prime of his career. He will be our third baseman at least till the end of the next year.

Hard to argue

[zitothebrave]

Please Uggla, need a miracle.

[Julio3000]

We got us a stew goin...

[Dalyn]

Nice play. Thought he was safe.

[TDlxANDER]

Amazing what can happen with that guy and base runners.

Can't believe Dan got a run in there...

[zitothebrave]

UGGLA!!!!!

[bravesnumberone]

Good job Uggs.

[parkvadawg]

What a freaking response

[Braves1976]

Man, that was so close to being another hit. I thought for sure he'd beat it. Come on Simmons!

[zitothebrave]

Just need one more run.

[AUTiger7222]

Great job boys! Erasing a 5-0 lead in just 1 inning.

[The Chosen One]

I thought Uggla was safe but oh well.

[Runnin]

New ball game!

[Bdawg2309]

A little harder and it would've gotten through

[TURBO]

Braves new strategy=small ball

[Dalyn]

You all need to recognize that Johnson is in the prime of his career. He will be our third baseman at least till the end of the next year.

Don't you dare thethe him.

[The Chosen One]

SIMBA IS RAKING RIGHT NOW!!!

[Julio3000]

This got me pretty good.

Dalyn has been bringing some heat.

[thethe]

Simmons hits the ball hard when he doesn't pop up.

[BlackwaterPark]

Hellz yea!!

[bravesnumberone]

Man, Simmons pissed on that ball!

[TDlxANDER]

Wow...

[stpeteirish]

Uggla not striking out with RISP is a win.

[zitothebrave]

Way to go Simba!!!

[thethe]

Don't you dare thethe him.

Oh, I'm full out thetheing him!

[AUTiger7222]

BRAVES LEAD!!!!!!!!! 6-5!!!!!

[Braves1976]

Wow, what a comeback! Braves lead 6-5!

[parkvadawg]

Told y'all we get 6 . I WANT THANKS

[Dalyn]

Wow. Very nice. Best swing of the year from Simmons.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Been a nice little inning

[jpx7]

We got us a stew goin...

http://www.therockatbc.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/carl-weathers.jpeg

[thethe]

BTW, this inning started with the guy who can't hit...TERDO!!!

[Dalyn]

Would be funny if Fredi hits for Beachy now.

[AUTiger7222]

What an inning. I loved this new lineup! I don't why Fredi didn't go to it sooner when we were all begging for it.

[TDlxANDER]

Told y'all we get 6 . I WANT THANKS

Could've used a few more...juz sayin

[zitothebrave]

Please really quick miracle from Beachy. Bloop flyball single would do.

[yeezus]

Awesome.

[Bdawg2309]

Gonna be a very interesting game with Beachy's pitch count and kimbrel not being available

[Braves1976]

Hopefully Beachy can settle down and give us shutdown inning. I am hoping he can go 5 innings at least and not give up any more runs.

[The Chosen One]

This got me pretty good.

I think it's my quote of the week in my sig.

[weso1]

I wonder if this start from Beachy will make Wren a bit more aggressive on Peavy. It's just tough to rely on Beachy getting his command back before the playoffs.

[jpx7]

Please really quick miracle from Beachy. Bloop flyball single would do.

Almost.

[stpeteirish]

Beachy makes two outs in the inning, guess they REALLY want him to go a few more innings.

[BlackwaterPark]

Ouch.....

[thethe]

oh crap

Take him out

[datdude12]

well that was fun while it lasted

What an inning. I loved this new lineup! I don't why Fredi didn't go to it sooner when we were all begging for it.

I really have to say that this is a great sequencing of the lineup and concede that this an appreciated (albeit rare) great decision by Fredi Gonzalez.
