[Hulavol]

Love it. I appreciate that Freddi isn't going to fiddle around with the best offense this season...

Yeah for sure...if it ain't broken

[bravesnumberone]

Yep, stick with the lineup. Get as many wins as you can before we head out on this Philly/Wash trip.

[Dunit24]

I want to see this lineup vs Washington and Philly. I know BJ is close to returning, but Id love to see how this lineup can do in stretches. So many weapons.

[Heyward]

Would of given a couple guys off today but I can understand keeping it intact for the time being.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Gerald Laird had to have a procedure to remove his kidney stone, so he's still a few days away

[Julio3000]

China doll.

[Julio3000]

Gerald Laird had to have a procedure to remove his kidney stone, so he's still a few days away

I wonder if Laird's calculus will change the 3-catcher equation?

[jpx7]

Gerald Laird had to have a procedure to remove his kidney stone, so he's still a few days away

Do you think Fredi's suffering from sympathetic urethral pains?

[MadduxFanII]

Gerald Laird had to have a procedure to remove his kidney stone, so he's still a few days away

This is, by a wide margin, the most interesting thing about Gerald Laird.

Seems more like it's an issue of narrowness ...

[Hulavol]

I bet our fifth starter doesn't have that problem...

[Julio3000]

Gerald is looking at the bright side, and hoping that this incident will maybe, possibly, score him a real nickname.

[Hulavol]

By the way, go check out the latest advice from our friend Jerry...

[tululush]

Wonder what he does when BJ comes back. Where does he bat in the lineup? Does he keep Heyward at leadoff?


Yeah for sure...if it ain't broken

[stpeteirish]

no Cargo, no Cuddyer, AA pitcher; Should be a cakewalk for our boys.

And probably won't be, that's just the way things work.

[parkvadawg]

I'm pretty positive he keeps Jason leading off

[Hulavol]

I'm pretty positive he keeps Jason leading off

Very much agreed. I'd like to see him leave Jason in CF too...

[NinersSBChamps]

BJ shouldn't be in the lineup when he's activated. The Braves haven't been playing this well since April. BJ will come in and screw everything up.

[Coredor]

BJ shouldn't be in the lineup when he's activated. The Braves haven't been playing this well since April. BJ will come in and screw everything up.

It's a tough call. B.J. did have a pretty decent June and Gattis is actually slumping. B.J. is also a better outfielder. Then you have to remember Schafer. I think B.J. should get a shot, but Freddi doesn't need to be too loyal. If he hits like he did for most of the first half then we have to look at other options.

[parkvadawg]

Very much agreed. I'd like to see him leave Jason in CF too...

That I'm unfortunately positive won't happen

[Hulavol]

That I'm unfortunately positive won't happen

Yeah, I know....

[Heyward]

no Cargo, no Cuddyer, AA pitcher; Should be a cakewalk for our boys.

And probably won't be, that's just the way things work.

Yup, probably lose 4-1 or something like that.

[Dalyn]

Playing BJ will improve the defense dramatically. Put Gattis on the bench, where he is a potent weapon. And get Heyward to right field before playing center starts to wear too much on him. It will also increase the chance that signing him will not end up being a huge mistake.

BJ Upton hasn't lived up to his contract in year 1. However the most production the team has gotten from him was while he was on the disabled list. **** BJ Upton.

The year isn't over.

His contract isn't close to finished.

He had an .812 OPS in June. This could still work out. Benching him almost guarantees that it doesn't.

[Russ2dollas]

We have options. So tell bj to concentrate on contact and hitting the other way. If he decides to swing for the fences then you have heyward and Schafer as optionns

Gattis needs to be ph guru and catch every 5th day IMO. Maybe steal a start from ff here or there if we keep a big lead.

Baseball can be so ironic at times. BJ will probably do something that is pivotal in the playoffs; like, make an amazing catch to save a game or drive in the game winning run.

Or pivotal like Brooks Conrad.

[BravesBlock]

A little too ironic.
Yes I really do think.

[ChapelHillMatt]

lol at people wanting to put BJ back in the lineup

Just amazing.

[MadduxFanII]

lol at people wanting to put BJ back in the lineup

Just amazing.

I mean, what are the choices? Have him spend the next four and a half years on the bench? He's going to play. I feel much more confident in an Upton-Upton-Heyward alignment than I do a Gattis-Heyward-Upton grouping, and I assume BJ isn't going to hit like 2002 Neifi Perez forever.

[NinersSBChamps]

So how long is the rain delay going to be

I'd bench him for the rest of the season and then worry what to do with him next year. This team is playing too well to insert a sub 200 bat into the middle of it. He can be a pinch runner and defensive replacement late in games.

I don't think thats realistic and I think Gattis could use some time on the bench as well. If you want to sit BJ a couple of times a week thats fine but he is going to playl.

[O'Dandelo]

BJ 2-for-2 with two doubles so far with G-Braves tonight.

[ChapelHillMatt]

BJ 2-for-2 with two doubles so far with G-Braves tonight.

Well at least we know he can hit minor league pitching

[thethe]

I just don't think you can give up on BJ. Guy has crazy talent. He just stated off really bad.

[thethe]

Well at least we know he can hit minor league pitching

LOL, you just do not like BJ.

I wonder why you don't get on Justin for his lack of hustle.

[ChapelHillMatt]

LOL, you just do not like BJ.

I wonder why you don't get on Justin for his lack of hustle.

He's just not very good. I guess you'll find that out the hard way. So far I have been proven right.

I haven't noticed Justin's lack of hustle. It hasn't been that noticeable to me. He's a poor defender and he hasn't always busted it down the line but he's also been banged up. Unless a guy is clearly tanking it out there I can overlook it.

[Julio3000]

LOL, you just do not like BJ.

I wonder why you don't get on Justin for his lack of hustle.

I wonder why you do.

[NinersSBChamps]

BJ is an enigma.

[Julio3000]

BJ is an enigma.

Racist.

Announcing crew starting off with a bang: praising Fredi's lineup construction abilities, not just recently but all season and throughout his Braves career.

[Bama9507]

BJ is an enigma.

Okay Riley Cooper

[NinersSBChamps]

Okay Riley Cooper

You are an idiot.

[jpx7]

Okay Riley Cooper

Probably also a huge Kenny Chesney fan. #topical

[Bama9507]

You are an idiot.

Now you're a hater

[Julio3000]

BJ is an enigma.

Enigma with attitude.

/Tampa

[NinersSBChamps]

Now you're a hater

I don't know if you were trying to be funny, but it was an awful attempt at humor.

[bravesnumberone]

So who's Marcus Vick on this board putting the hit out on Niners?

[Julio3000]

Announcing crew starting off with a bang: praising Fredi's lineup construction abilities, not just recently but all season and throughout his Braves career.

I would say "are they high?," but . . .

Thread getting weird already. Haha

I don't know if you were trying to be funny, but it was an awful attempt at humor.

Lighten up Francis

[CyYoung31]

I don't know if you were trying to be funny, but it was an awful attempt at humor.

If Julio didn't beat him to the punch it would have been more amusing.

[BravesBlock]

OT question. Who are the player reps for the braves this year? I know it use to be Chipper and Glavine. Anybody know?

[jpx7]

Has anyone actually tried Crown Royal Black? More importantly: how much hustle does it lack compared to the original formula?

[stpeteirish]

BJ 2-for-2 with two doubles so far with G-Braves tonight.

good. If he was going to go 0 for rehab it'd be difficult to just reinsert him into the lineup when everything is clicking without him. Maybe a few games down there will help him find his stroke, he's never been this bad before. Don't forget Fredi loves to keep his lineup the same when he's winning so its not a sure thing that BJ will play every day if he's back while we're still hot.

[Bama9507]

Has anyone actually tried Crown Royal Black? More importantly: how much hustle does it lack compared to the original formula?

It's good when it wants to be but it doesn't often desire being great.

[The Chosen One]

Niners relax...

[thethe]

I wonder why you do.

I'm not a fan of the dark people.

[nsacpi]

Terrible start by Teheran.

[NinersSBChamps]

Game over. Fowler has reached base in 3 straight games to start it off for Colorado. We have won all three games. And he walked tonight.

[BlackwaterPark]

Carlos Gonzalez has to be one of the most frustrating players to be a fan of

[Julio3000]

Has anyone actually tried Crown Royal Black? More importantly: how much hustle does it lack compared to the original formula?

Nice.

It's selling pretty well, but for some reason people are really quick to single it out for criticism when they're disappointed.

[Julio3000]

I'm not a fan of the dark people.

Yeah, I meant besides your obvious racism.

[NinersSBChamps]

Tulo bought a Jeter model bat a few years back from a local sporting goods store. He used it twice in a game.

[thethe]

Yeah, I meant besides your obvious racism.

I mean, I like Heyward. Maybe I am selectively racist.

[ChapelHillMatt]

Carlos Gonzalez has to be one of the most frustrating players to be a fan of

He doesn't get serious injuries, just nagging one's. It seems like he's always day to day.

[Julio3000]

When I tried a Jeter model I just got herpes.

I know McCann is one. Idk who the other is.

[NinersSBChamps]

I mean, I like Heyward. Maybe I am selectively racist.

And you dislike Justin Upton.

[bravesnumberone]

Well this isn't looking like our night early on.

[Dalyn]

Teheran showed his age on that play.

[parkvadawg]

Good grief

[Mrs. Meta]

Oh Juliolol

[NinersSBChamps]

Let Simmons grab that one. Mistake from JT.

[thethe]

Teheran has the worst luck of any starting pitcher for the Braves that I can remember.

[CyYoung31]

Nice.

It's selling pretty well, but for some reason people are really quick to single it out for criticism.

I honestly found it a little too dark. I prefer mine lighter in color, as it's usually less bitter.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Well played by the Turner Field organist

[stpeteirish]

lets get a DP and get out of the inning

[NinersSBChamps]

Matt Diaz is 4th all time with an August career batting average.

[Dalyn]

Very nice pitch. Perfect.

[thethe]

Tehearn is so filthy.

[Julio3000]

I mean, I like Heyward. Maybe I am selectively racist.

You are only racist against Justin Upton.

Wait, maybe you're not racist at all. Maybe you're a fat-phobe.

[ChapelHillMatt]

And you dislike Justin Upton.

He loves BJ

[NinersSBChamps]

If the Rockies lineup all had high socks, Julio would have 27 k's and a perfect game.

[Mrs. Meta]

Teheran showed his age on that play.

He has *this* many!:icwudt:

[parkvadawg]

Wow just 5 fingers to the faced him

[Julio3000]

I honestly found it a little too dark. I prefer mine lighter in color, as it's usually less bitter.

Unless it's the Sheffield Reserve.

[thethe]

He loves BJ

Thats not true. I just don't think its worth giving up on him this early.

[Mrs. Meta]

You are only racist against Justin Upton.

Wait, maybe you're not racist at all. Maybe you're a fat-phobe.

Heck of an inning by Julio

[NinersSBChamps]

Julio touching 95 a couple times. Kid has some extra zip on the fast BALLS tonight.

Teheran is an absolute boss.

Julio doesn't like pitching to his defense :Sad:

I think you're right. He was upset in spring training because he was fatter than Heyward and BJ

[Mrs. Meta]

Personally, I would hate to limit any pitcher with Matt Harvey's ceiling - especially if said ceiling has any water damage.

Maybe you're a fat-phobe.

Better corpulophobic than coprophagic, I guess.

[Julio3000]

Julio, is it cheating on Tron if I started to get warm feelings there about Teheran?

It depends. Is it warm ALL the time, or just when you pee.

[Dalyn]

Bad call incoming 3...2...1...

[BravesBlock]

Well played by the Turner Field organist
So they have another organist? At one time they had recorded tracks and either the organist quit or was let go. I wasn't aware fhat they were offering live music again.

[Dalyn]

I was right, just not in the way I thought.

[thethe]

It depends. Is it warm ALL the time, or just when you pee.

No, it just burns when I pee. Should I see a doctor?

[CrimsonCowboy]

Welcome to the show, Mr. Bettis

[Mrs. Meta]

Extension!

He didn't hustle rounding the bases

BENCH HIM

[jpx7]

Justin just didn't want to have to run.

[CyYoung31]

Looks like Arizona won that trade.

[stpeteirish]

ka boom, that didn't take long. This guy had a losing record in AA, Rockies pitching sucks as usual.

[bravesnumberone]

WTF CJ?

[Dalyn]

Freeman with a rare bad at-bat.

[parkvadawg]

Rockies might want to play on rookie level

[thethe]

Upton is so selfish. Couldn't take a bullet for Chris.

Come on Gattis. Stop doing that!

Extension!

Wood doesn't pitch until Sunday night.

[stpeteirish]

Yeah those same people who say BJ can't struggle all season say CJ is lucky and will stop hitting.

Speak softly and carry a big dick.

Seriously, lighten the hell up. We bust each other's balls here. It's what we do best. You should know this. No need to take it so damn seriously.

[Dalyn]

Yeah those same people who say BJ can't struggle all season say CJ is lucky and will stop hitting.

Actually, Johnson is my favorite player to watch this year.

[ChapelHillMatt]

At least we can agree on Chris!

We actually agree a lot, just not on the Uptons

[jpx7]

It was a simple question

Was it? I'm skeptical that was really your intent — but the answer is, in fact, "five."

Don't throw a strike here.

[jpx7]

"The Casper Ghosts" TROLOLOLOL

Unfortunately, they are now the much-more-boring "Grand Junction Rockies."

[CrimsonCowboy]

Dickerson is a pain in the neck

[Dalyn]

Nice catch, I guess. No clue why he jumped there. Had room.

[bravesnumberone]

FATASS.

Great AB by Dickerson, but not very good pitching by Julio.

[thethe]

Showboater. Figures.

[CyYoung31]

Jumping is not the same thing as hustling.

You need to photoshop the wall closer.

[NinersSBChamps]

At least 36 pitches this inning.

[bravesnumberone]

Well I hope the bullpen is ready to work tonight. We need a lot of runs.

[NinersSBChamps]

Quit yelling Tulo you might break another rib.

[thethe]

FINALLY!

[parkvadawg]

Just making sure he got the job done right

Teheran won't make it 4 innings at this rate.

[BlackwaterPark]

Tulo is a *****

[Dalyn]

That's one way to get the night off.

He had legit beef. Bye bye Tulo.

[Dalyn]

Tulo is a *****

It WAS a ****ty call.

[weso1]

Tulo is gone... good for us.

[NinersSBChamps]

Go enjoy the game from the locker room Tulo. I bet Troy is going to the Diamond Club. Probably a good idea.

[parkvadawg]

That's one way to get the night off.


Convinced that was his goal

[bravesnumberone]

Would love to hear how many times Simmons popped up in July.

[Dalyn]

Tulo gets to that.

[Dalyn]

:YDS:

[NinersSBChamps]

That was a lucky bounce.

[parkvadawg]

Very nice

[thethe]

JULIO!

[bravesnumberone]

Justin would have jumped for that ball.

[parkvadawg]

Simba is kind of a big deal

[Dalyn]

Simba is kind of a big deal

Wood.

[jpx7]

Tulo gets to that.

Yep. So Teheran helps himself twice, despite the pitch-count: ensnares Tulowitzki in his web of frustration, which puts Simmons on-base, then doubles Simmons home to regain the two-run spread.

[thethe]

Apparently Justin was too lazy to take another pitch.

[Dalyn]

Did you guys see Fredi just staring at Gattis' ass? Explains why he can't get a day off.

[Dalyn]

Fredi is thethe?

[parkvadawg]

Weak Freddie. Walks are for losers

[bravesnumberone]

Already over the 1-hour mark and it's in the second inning.

[bravesnumberone]

Good grief, Gattis.
