[NYCBrave]

Surprised to see both McCann and Heyward in there today

[seanyates]

Fredi wants to stomp out the Nats with this lineup. I like it.

[bravesnumberone]

Something tells me the Braves want this game bad. And with the off day coming tomorrow, they can rest then.

[Tapate50]

Saw on rotoworld where Davey Johnson is considering moving Zimmerman off 3rd. Ouch. Throwing issues have continued longer than expected I guess. How long can they wait? Id say til next April at least...

[Dunit24]

No reason to let up now. Guys will get a lot of rest the last month of the season, so Im glad our normal lineup is in there today.

[Hulavol]

I agree with Freddi on this. Stomp their asses.

[BremanFan88]

Surprised to see both McCann and Heyward in there today

Sounded like Heyward just had a stinger. I mean they hurt like hell and I've seen grown ass men paralyzed for a few seconds from intense ones but they don't really have any lasting effect after a few hours.

[stpeteirish]

"stomp their asses", has a definite ring to it. Harper's especially.

[Julio3000]

Surprised Paul Janish isn't in there.

You know, just in case there's a fight or something.

[thethe]

Saw on rotoworld where Davey Johnson is considering moving Zimmerman off 3rd. Ouch. Throwing issues have continued longer than expected I guess. How long can they wait? Id say til next April at least...

He should. I don't know why Simmons/BJ/Heyward aren't bunting every time. He can't put anything on his throws. Its embarrassing.

[NYCBrave]

Here's the full Rotoworld piece, which is interesting since LaRoche is signed through next year:



Nationals manager Davey Johnson said after Tuesday's game that Ryan Zimmerman's struggles at third base could lead to him switching to first base.

Zimmerman's throwing has been an issue following offseason shoulder surgery and Johnson thinks a move to first base could be beneficial if he doesn't improve. "I knew it was going to take until June, but obviously it’s taken longer," said Johnson. "It’s more about him–if you see him throw early, he throws deeper and throws the ball on line. But I don’t know if it’s physical or mental. Because I see him throw pretty good, and in the game he’ll want to get a lot of air under it. If that doesn’t get better, then obviously it’s not a good spot for him to be in. But at one time, he had a cannon. And we’re all waiting for him to come back and get over it." The Nationals have Adam LaRoche under contract for $14 million next season, but a position change for Zimmerman is probably inevitable, especially since third base is where most expect Anthony Rendon will end up in the long-term.

[The Chosen One]

Is it a shoulder problem with his throwing?

[diamondsyd]

Is it a shoulder problem with his throwing?

I think he has Chuck Knoblauch syndrome. I think they need to get him memorizing playboy likes, dislikes, turnons and turnoffs.

[The Chosen One]

I think he has Chuck Knoblauch syndrome. I think they need to get him memorizing playboy likes, dislikes, turnons and turnoffs.

This just happened recently right? Like last year?

If it was physical you'd think the Nats would've done something by now.

Where's gilesfan at? He'd know for sure.

[gilesfan]

Where's gilesfan at? He'd know for sure.


He injured his shoulder about 2 years ago. Tried to get by with cortizone shots and it didn't work. Had surgery in the offseason. They thought his arm would be healthy by mid-June, but although it's been getting better, it's not fully healed.

[thethe]

Its absolutely physical. I dont' watch the Nationals often but the last two nights he is throwing sidearm and putting a lot of arc on the ball. I seriously don't understand why we aren't bunting more. I feel like that would be an easy way to get a man on.

[Julio3000]

Its absolutely physical. I dont' watch the Nationals often but the last two nights he is throwing sidearm and putting a lot of arc on the ball. I seriously don't understand why we aren't bunting more. I feel like that would be an easy way to get a man on.

Probably because we're balls awful at it.

[TURBO]

I think he has Chuck Knoblauch syndrome. I think they need to get him memorizing playboy likes, dislikes, turnons and turnoffs.

"If another routine ground ball lands 15 rows in the grandstands, I'm sending your ass home. So I suggest you make your throws. Or, I suggest you invest in some how-to books and find a fallback profession, understood. "

[diamondsyd]

It was physical and I think it is mental now. Even Davey Johnson says "It’s more about him–if you see him throw early, he throws deeper and throws the ball on line. But I don’t know if it’s physical or mental. Because I see him throw pretty good, and in the game he’ll want to get a lot of air under it. If that doesn’t get better, then obviously it’s not a good spot for him to be in." That says to me he has no confidence to let it fly in the game.

[Mrs. Meta]

I seriously don't understand why we aren't bunting more.

Please don't encourage Fredi :Sad:

[BravesBlock]

Tonight could be the night where BJ's batting average passes Uggla's.

[Julio3000]

Tonight could be the night where BJ's batting average passes Uggla's.

Wow. That snuck up on me.

[TURBO]

Wow. That snuck up on me.

Love a sneaky BJ

[weso1]

Wow. That snuck up on me.

A little too late.:Sad:

[Julio3000]

Love a sneaky BJ

Indeed.

[jpx7]

I seriously don't understand why we aren't bunting more.


Please don't encourage Fredi :Sad:

I like to think, à la Dalyn, that this is just Fredi rigorously self-interrogating his own thought processes and decision-making.

[MadduxFanII]

Considering some of the players who have contributed to beating us in playoff games (Pat Borders, Jim Leyritz, Cody Ross, Pete Kozma), I think it's only fair that a .190-hitting BJ Upton whack 11 or 12 home runs in October as we win the World Series.

He's totally going full-Beltran in the playoffs this season.

[nsacpi]

I would settle for full-Lemke.

[cajunrevenge]

Our good friend Holbrook behind the plate tonight.

[parkvadawg]

Time to sweep. I'm real excited for this one

[zitothebrave]

heyward is playing today?

OBviously doesn't care about baseball. Otherwise he would have hopped in his TARDIS and gotten back in the game yesterday.

[cajunrevenge]

Braves have outscored teams 71-28 in this streak. According to Pythagorean theory over a full season that kind of run differential would lead to a 144-18 record. Also the Braves have a 14.5 game lead in the division. Adding up the division lead of every other leader combined is 14.

[pfiggy]

Excellent start Heyman......

[parkvadawg]

Lol welcome back

[bravesnumberone]

Good pitch there.

[bravesnumberone]

Suck on it Nats.

[parkvadawg]

Amazing when we get runners on I no longer wonder if we score, it's how many

[bravesnumberone]

Amazing when we get runners on I no longer wonder if we score, it's how many

Complete 180 from a couple months ago. Locked in right now.

[Julio3000]

Freddie's serious about the foot-on-the-neck thing.

[mfree80]

CJ.... New streak!

Finally got rid of the creepy lurker status.

[zitothebrave]

Freddie's serious about the foot-on-the-neck thing.

Freddie doesn't know how to take it easy.

[bravesnumberone]

F you Holbrook.

[zitothebrave]

Come on Struggla!

[cajunrevenge]

Get on base for BJ!

[bravesnumberone]

Crap, would have liked to see Uggla park one there. Good job making Zimmerman work though. Please be good tonight, Medlen.

[zitothebrave]

Crap, would have liked to see Uggla park one there. Good job making Zimmerman work though. Please be good tonight, Medlen.

That will be the key, we need good (or at least lucky) Medlen there tonight. Just like last night keep it under 2 runs.

[Julio3000]

Just need to keep Z chucking and get into their 'pen.

[bravesnumberone]

Oh my God. Wow.

[Julio3000]

That was plunking ridiculous. He made it look easy.

[thethe]

<---------------Warm feelings

[bravesnumberone]

WTF was wrong with that?

Sit your ass down, clown.

[zitothebrave]

Where did ball 2 miss?

[thethe]

Best I've seen of Medlens curve all year.

[Julio3000]

How was that not a strike? Oh, well. Sit down, Mme. Pompadour.

[zitothebrave]

Great start Meds. Hope he keeps it up!!

[nsacpi]

Medlen made Harper look bad.

I think Medlen is about to go on a run. It is too much to expect something like the second half of last year, but he's going to be a lot better than he has been so far.

[parkvadawg]

Meds

[thethe]

Who is this BJ Upton character? Has he been on the team this year?

[bravesnumberone]

Great to see, great to see. Stay firm, Simmons. No motherplunking pop-ups.

And of course he pops the first freaking pitch.

[Ampere]

That DL trip may have been the best thing to happen to BJ this year.

[Julio3000]

Sneaky Beej did a good job waiting for that one.

[Enscheff]

BJ might be turning into the BJ we've been waiting for.

[nsacpi]

Next series time to move BJ up in the lineup ahead of Uggla.

[parkvadawg]

Freak Simmons

[Yogi44]

Could be finally be seeing the 2nd half BJ?

[CyYoung31]

Next series time to move BJ up in the lineup ahead of Uggla.

Let's not start giving each other BJs just yet.

[bravesnumberone]

If Medlen's not going to bunt there, why even bother batting?

And F you again, Holbrook.

[zitothebrave]

Come on Heybeast. Get a homer?

[parkvadawg]

No worries we will score at least 5

[bravesnumberone]

Holbrook has absolutely no concept of a strike zone.

[mossy]

Holbrook has absolutely no concept of a strike zone.

Yeah, he's been inconsistent thus far.

[thethe]

Watch out if this Medlen shows up the next two months.

[Tapate50]

DEALING

[bravesnumberone]

Like that pitch he just punched Desmond out on was a ball to Harper. Oh well, great work so far, Meds. Let's score more runs.

[thethe]

Nationals are getting good at being whiny *****es.

[Heyward]

Surprised to see both McCann and Heyward in there today

Why, go for the knockout blow.

Off day tommorow.

[thethe]

LOL, Desmond is better than Simmons!

[bravesnumberone]

That looked weird. Good hustle.

[Heyward]

Who is this BJ Upton character? Has he been on the team this year?

Only a matter if time before he gets hot.

[Heyward]

Sigh...

[Heyward]

He's getting in a rhythm now...

[zitothebrave]

5 hits and only 1 run.

COME ON!

[ChadWC]

He's thrown a lot of pitches so far. He won't last past 5 at this rate.

[skidlee]

Glad to see you over here chad

[Julio3000]

5 hits and only 1 run.

COME ON!


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SP_9zH9Q44o

[bravesnumberone]

Only good thing is we're making him work. But we should have multiple runs right now. Medlen better keep dealing.

[Heyward]

He's thrown a lot of pitches so far. He won't last past 5 at this rate.

57 through 3.

He wil get past 5, probably 6-7+.

[bravesnumberone]

So far, this is the best he's looked all year.

SCORE DAMNIT

[Gary82]

Medlen looks sharp tonight. Maybe a perfect game is in the works. ;)

[Heyward]

Need more runs.

Aren't going to shut them out.

[wheresmykayak]

Boy, if we get 2012 Medlen back these last few months... the playoff picture starts looking a LOT better pitching matchup wise.

I hope it's more Medlen's side session with MacDowell, and less of the Nationals being terrible at scoring runs.

[bravesnumberone]

Medlen looks sharp tonight. Maybe a perfect game is in the works. ;)

:Sad:

:Gasp:

[thethe]

All of the BABIP luck from CJ is going to BJ.

[bravesnumberone]

That's it, BJ. Simmons, I swear...just hit the ball hard, please.

[Heyward]

BJ heating up.

Uh oh.

[cajunrevenge]

I am so happy we are finally get the good BJ.

[Julio3000]

Dare I say . . . BJ is raking?

[Gary82]

Somewhere, BJ found himself.

[Heyward]

Just move them over.

Or at worst, no DP.

[Gary82]

:Sad:

:Gasp:

:icwudt:


:YDS:

[ChadWC]

Well, I hope folks didn't think Melvin was never gonna bust out. He's too talented to never have a hot streak.

[bravesnumberone]

In this situation, don't swing Medlen.

[Heyward]

Simba>>

Don't swing Meds.

[ChadWC]

Big spot for Meds. Anything but a DP please.

[pfiggy]

Bust their nutz now men..........

[Gary82]

bases loaded, nobody out. big opp here.

[zitothebrave]

Help yourself Meds!!

[wheresmykayak]

Yeah, I don't care if he just takes a strikeout here. Just don't put one on the ground.

[bravesnumberone]

That'll work! Great play by Span.

[Heyward]

Almost a clearing double.

Meds crushed that.

[ChadWC]

Dang thought he gapped it. Nice to get the run though.

[zitothebrave]

WOO RUNS!

[Runnin]

Damn. Medlen magic is back.

[Gary82]

what a big sac fly by medlen!

[Heyward]

Simba>>

Don't swing Meds.

Good call, dummy.

[Heyward]

Damn, Heyward is gonna K.

[bravesnumberone]

Ugly.

[thethe]

Bad Heyward.

You have been great at limiting your K's this year.

[zitothebrave]

Damnit Heyward

[ChadWC]

Zimmerman seems to be overthrowing but we are chasing.

[Heyward]

80th pitch coming here.

[Tapate50]

Somewhere, BJ found himself. that can happen with a hot BJ.

[cajunrevenge]

Would love to get Freeman up here.

[Heyward]

Come on FF.

[bravesnumberone]

Great at bat there. Bust it, Freeman.

[ChadWC]

Crush one Freddie.

[thethe]

This is Freemans situation here!

BLOW IT OPEN!

Then go upstairs and do some blow.

[Gary82]

Alright Freeman, step on their necks.

[zitothebrave]

Come on Fredex!

[Heyward]

He's gonna K too, ugh.

[bravesnumberone]

****ing Freddie. Be patient.:mad0182:

[mossy]

Seems like Zimmermann is getting squeezed a bit.

[ChadWC]

Freddie is battling. Zimmerman might be getting yanked soon.

[Heyward]

He's gonna K too, ugh.

Yup....

[thethe]

Wow, that was surprising. I thought for sure Ferddie would come through.

[bravesnumberone]

Not good. We're leaving way too many runners out there.

[Gary82]

Damn, we let them get away. :mad0182:

[cajunrevenge]

Its ok Freddie, cant always come thru. Still the best cleanup hitter we have had in a long time in my opinion.

[parkvadawg]

Somehow I think we will be fine

[ChadWC]

It pretty much ensures Zimmermann won't pitch but one more inning though. Need 3 up 3 down badly here and get him back out there.

[Gary82]

Medlen made the top of our lineup look bad. lol

[Heyward]

Terrible to only get 1 there and from the pitcher no less.

88 pitches for Zimmerman through 4.

[Gary82]

Mark Bowman ‏@mlbbowman 12m
This marks the first time this year B.J. Upton has had a multi-hit performance in consecutive games.

:Gasp:


:Sad:

[Heyward]

Good catch, Jason.

[bravesnumberone]

Oh noes, he's throwing at him.

[bravesnumberone]

Come on Medlen.

[Runnin]

Medlen with the one nostril blow after the Harper walk.

[thethe]

Damn...justl ike that.

[bravesnumberone]

Goddamnit. Saw that coming from a mile away. That's why you score when you have the opportunities.

[Heyward]

Saw that coming.

[Runnin]

****!

[mossy]

Too little too late.

[pfiggy]

pfarkin' walks....

[ChadWC]

Nobody to blame but yourself.

[Yogi44]

Nats fans and announcers acted like that one home run just erased a 14.5 game lead.

[chopdrew]

I'm not even mad. It's funny how loud their crowd gets. As though they're relevant in any way....

[JusticeForAll23]

No excuse for us not to score 2+ runs that inning and now it's a tie game. Blah.

[Heyward]

Goddamnit. Saw that coming from a mile away. That's why you score when you have the opportunities.

Bingo, only getting one run in that situation is awful.

[ChadWC]

Time to go to work.

[mossy]

Nats fans and announcers acted like that one home run just erased a 14.5 game lead.

It's all they have left.

[bravesnumberone]

Lol. Classic Braves. Nowhere near, give up the lead, then get right out of the inning. Offense, are we ready to take advantage of our situations now?

[Tapate50]

LaRoche is just trying to get outta the lineup so he can go bow hunting

[bravesnumberone]

Incredibly bad we got him out of there after four and we've only got two runs and a tied game.

[datdude12]

somebody needs to punch fp santangelo in the face...what a blow hard

[Heyward]

Probably get shutdown for the next 2-3 innings.

[parkvadawg]

Incredibly bad we got him out of there after four and we've only got two runs and a tied game.

I think we can survive this rash of just horrible play. Not sure why considering how terrible our offense has been

[bravesnumberone]

I think we can survive this rash of just horrible play. Not sure why considering how terrible our offense has been

I like our chances with their bullpen if Medlen can get back on a roll.

[Yogi44]

somebody needs to punch fp santangelo in the face...what a blow hard

Am looking so forward to next year when the new blackout rules go in effect. I pay for MLB Extra Innings, I should be able to choose my broadcast. Nats announcers would not be my choice.

[datdude12]

I think we can survive this rash of just horrible play. Not sure why considering how terrible our offense has been

yea this team is really struggling as of late...its hard to watch

[bravesnumberone]

Except all kinds of fail there. Look at a few pitches, guys. Come on Meds.

[Tapate50]

I've noticed an alarming trend. Dick jokes when Wood isn't on the bump from this forum have been sparse. Apparently this group likes the easy ones. I say challenge yourselves.

[parkvadawg]

yea this team is really struggling as of late...its hard to watch

Its really been awful. If we had killer instinct and loved baseball, we would have been 35 games up at the break

[chopdrew]

Are you people really picking nits while this team is playin this well? Some of you people need more to do...

[bravesnumberone]

That would have gotten down a year ago.

[parkvadawg]

Are you people really picking nits while this team is playin this well? Some of you people need more to do...

Chop, anything less than a undefeated season shows weakness. Rules of course don't apply to other teams.

[cajunrevenge]

Negative Nancies are chomping at the bit for things to complain about.

[bravesnumberone]

Nicely done.

[parkvadawg]

Negative Nancies are chomping at the bit for things to complain about.

Negatrons will never die

[bravesnumberone]

BJBIP

[cajunrevenge]

You cant stop the BJ you can only hope to contain him!

[thethe]

He'll take it.

Steal a bag now BJ!

[Heyward]

BJ

[Gary82]

BJ is 3-3. Does not compute. Does not compute.

[parkvadawg]

Still thinks 5 runs minimum for us tonight

[BravesBlock]

BJ's batting average just passed Uggla's so he is making progress.

[Gary82]

BJ .196 batting average
Uggla .191

[Garmel]

Did you see what Simmons just swung at? Damn!

[ChadWC]

BJ will be in the .200s this weekend if he keeps hitting like this.

[Gary82]

A pop up! WHODATHUNKIT!?!?!?

[Heyward]

Still thinks 5 runs minimum for us tonight

Lol, probably stays at 2, at most they get 1 more.

Jesus Christ.

One of those games you outplay the team badly but don't win, seems like that type of game.

[bravesnumberone]

Lovely.

[ChadWC]

Way to not get the bunt down.

[thethe]

Letting them off easy tonight.

[Mrs. Meta]

Blargh!

[cajunrevenge]

If I was an opposing manager I would replace my starter with the long reliever after the first innings vs the Braves, they always come in and shut us down.

[BravesBlock]

Lol, probably stays at 2, at most they get 1 more.

Jesus Christ.

One of those games you outplay the team badly but don't win, seems like that type of game.

This game does have that feel to it but I hope they win and remove any doubt about their postseason hopes.

[parkvadawg]

Lol, probably stays at 2, at most they get 1 more.

Jesus Christ.

One of those games you outplay the team badly but don't win, seems like that type of game.

If we only were able to score late in games

[bravesnumberone]

Bernadina would fit right in on this club.

I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

[thethe]

Are people really upset that we are in a 2-2 game after in the midst of a 12 game winning streak?

[bravesnumberone]

Are people really upset that we are in a 2-2 game after in the midst of a 12 game winning streak?

Dude, nobody's upset. It's a game thread. People tend to make comments about the game going on. From now on I'll say. "Oh, darn. Too bad."

[Heyward]

Come on, blue.

[VirginiaBrave]

This one got away when FF struck out. What is it with Medlen and one bad inning?

[parkvadawg]

Are people really upset that we are in a 2-2 game after in the midst of a 12 game winning streak?

Crazy. Some folks can't really enjoy it

[Heyward]

If we only were able to score late in games

We can, but it's gonna end eventually.

Seems like that type of game unfortunately.

[thethe]

One mistake for Meds all night. Great sign moving forward.

Would be great if he pitched the whole game tonight.

[Heyward]

This one got away when FF struck out. What is it with Medlen and one bad inning?

Heyward AB did.

He just makes contact, it's at least 3-2.

[bravesnumberone]

We're going to score six runs right here.

[Gary82]

One hit all night for the Nationals.

[cajunrevenge]

6 innings 2 runs. I am happy with that from Medlen. Get one more scoreless and turn it over to the pen and I will be ecstatic.

[Gary82]

Are people really upset that we are in a 2-2 game after in the midst of a 12 game winning streak?

I wanna break the A's 20 game winning streak.

[DaneHill]

Medlen pitching a 1-hitter. Shades of last year. (Except that hit would've stayed in the park last year) Come on, Boys, let's get some runs! :tchop:

[thethe]

6 innings 2 runs. I am happy with that from Medlen. Get one more scoreless and turn it over to the pen and I will be ecstatic.

I'd rather he just pitch the rest of the game. Give the bullpen a two day break.

[Yogi44]

The streak will end sometime. With a 12 game streak and a 14.5 game lead, I'll allow a slight downturn.

[parkvadawg]

The streak will end sometime. With a 12 game streak and a 14.5 game lead, I'll allow a slight downturn.

You must lack killer instinct!

[Heyward]

Are people really upset that we are in a 2-2 game after in the midst of a 12 game winning streak?

Upset, no but only getting one run in that situation is disappointing.

[Heyward]

We're going to score six runs right here.

1-2-3 probably.

[bravesnumberone]

I'd rather the Marlins end it. I despise losing to Washington. If it happens, no biggie. We did what we needed to do and won the series.

[cajunrevenge]

I'd rather he just pitch the rest of the game. Give the bullpen a two day break.

I love me some Meds but I have more confidence in the pen. We already have a huge advantage with Zimmerman only going 4. Might be okay with 8 if Meds has an easy 7th. The Pen can rest tommorrow imo.

[bravesnumberone]

He hit that one pretty far, huh Harper?

[Heyward]

JUp!!!!

[Yogi44]

You must lack killer instinct!

Nah. Just realistic. As bad as our offense looked a few weeks ago, no room for complaining that we may lose 1 in 13. Still can win though. See !!

[thethe]

I'm so glad Justin Upton is making me look bad!

[pfiggy]

Augustus.......

[Gary82]

Justin Upton!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When this guy gets hot, he gets hot! DAMN>

[parkvadawg]

1-2-3 probably.
Prob not

[Orphan Black]

Upton is da bomb

[ChadWC]

April!!!!!!!!

[VirginiaBrave]

Oh I am thrilled with KM tonight, just seems like one inning has killed his record in games all yr.

[SidSlid92]

I'd say Jup is locked in again.

[Julio3000]

Road splits. *****!

[Heyward]

I'd rather he just pitch the rest of the game. Give the bullpen a two day break.

I'd try to rest Avilan and Walden.

Everyone else is available.

[Heyward]

Prob not

Reverse jinx ftw.

[thethe]

Justin Upton!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When this guy gets hot, he gets hot! DAMN>

We can only hope that he gets hot in October.

[bravesnumberone]

Oh I am thrilled with KM tonight, just seems like one inning has killed his record in games all yr.

I like what he's done. He seems to get lucky, but unlucky at the same time as the one mistake he makes usually winds up costing him a win. Maybe not tonight though.

[Julio3000]

It's Crip-walk Kris tonight.

[ChadWC]

Come on Mac.

[Orphan Black]

April!!!!!!!!

Maybe we should change the names of all the months so they begin with A.

[VirginiaBrave]

Did somebody hypnotize Justin into thinking this is April?

[drewdat]

We can only hope that he gets hot in October.

Maybe we can get a petition started to change it to Actober.

Too late.

[cajunrevenge]

Crushing the Nats fans spirits is almost as fun as crushing mets fans spirits. Mets fans really know how to meltdown.

[bravesnumberone]

Crushing the Nats fans spirits is almost as fun as crushing mets fans spirits. Mets fans really know how to meltdown.

It's a tough call. This Nats team is just so easy to loathe. So many tools.

Damn, they're getting scary over at the Nats board.


I would like to mutilate Freddy Freeman's body.


I'll strangle Freeman with my bare freaking hands until he's lifeless

[Garmel]

Maybe we should change the names of all the months so they begin with A.

Let's hope Justin gets hot in Actober then.

[bravesnumberone]

Well we just don't care for multi-run innings tonight. Shut down inning here.
