4-11 Game Day Thread

[SJ24]

Ozzie Albies is a superstar.

[thewupk]

thethe was right. i bow to his knowledge of baseball

[Julio3000]

Keystone combo looks pretty legit right now.

[Garmel]

thethe just creamed in his britches. Heh heh.

[thethe]

thethe just creamed in his britches. Heh heh.

Is there any doubt that Albies will be a 25+ home run hitter?

[Ozzie Swanson]

As enscheff pointed out in spring training, teams are going to learn very quickly that they shouldn't throw Albies a first pitch fastball.

[thethe]

thethe was right. i bow to his knowledge of baseball

I've been right more then people want to admit. Problem is I've been wrong many more times than that.

[msstate7]

Probably need to flip Albies and Markakis. Markakis get on... FF and Albies knock em in

[thewupk]

rest of the lineup after Freeman is looking meh

[UNCBlue012]

Albies and Acuna in the top four is going to be incredible.

[msstate7]

rest of the lineup after Freeman is looking meh

Swanson .966 ops is 2nd best on team

[thethe]

rest of the lineup after Freeman is looking meh

Swanson?


Lets see what Acuna/Camargo/Flowers/Suzuki can do.

[Garmel]

That was the Chuckie K special right there.

[msstate7]

Tucker is a team first guy... sucking it up lately so there is no question about getting acuna up.

The only player in MLB with more HR (4) in April than Ozzie Albies is Bryce Harper.

10:12 AM - 11 Apr 2018

[bravesfanMatt]

I think 4 or 5 runs win it today. We really need Ender out of the lead off hole for a bit.

[Garmel]

Is there any doubt that Albies will be a 25+ home run hitter?

Could be.

Acuna will lap them both by the end of the month. MLB better order more baseballs for brave games

[Julio3000]

Obvs the Nats are way better than us 1-25, but their lineup looks ****ty today past 2-3-4.

[jpx7]

Albies second in baseball in HR, tied with Trout and besting Ohtani; trails only the six-hundred-pound enema in the room.

[Ozzie Swanson]

Ozzie giveth and Ozzie taketh away.

[Enscheff]

thethe was right. i bow to his knowledge of baseball

If someone predicts the Top 5% outcome for every single player, they will be right eventually.

Albies sure is making it hard to deny the Altuve comps right now.

I would like to see him cut down the silly mistakes though...like the glove flip attempt.

[msstate7]

Albies last night = 2b and dumb steal attempt
Albies today = hr and dumb glove flip

[jpx7]

Obvs the Nats are way better than us 1-25, but their lineup looks ****ty today past 2-3-4.

Assuming you missed Matt Adams at #5 ...

[jpx7]

Ozzie giveth and Ozzie taketh away.

You live by the flash, you die by the flash.

[Enscheff]

I've been right more then people want to admit. Problem is I've been wrong many more times than that.

I honestly can't remember the last time we disagreed and you were right...has it ever happened?

Serious question.

[Julio3000]

Assuming you missed Matt Adams at #5 ...

Worse than my regrettable Trout oversight the other day.

[thewupk]

Swanson .966 ops is 2nd best on team

Forgot about him since he's buried behind Suzuki, etc. Yeah I have a feeling he will be an above average hitter.

[Enscheff]

Assuming you missed Matt Adams at #5 ...

Nats will trade him for Odorizzi. makes too much sense not to happen.

[UNCBlue012]

My goodness, guys. KEEP THE FREAKING LEAD.

[bravesfanMatt]

Those able to watch how is the strike zone. Game day is showing a very inconsistent zone.

[msstate7]

Anyone else sick of severino? MiLB career hitter of .242, and he is hitting like .400

[Enscheff]

Those able to watch how is the strike zone. Game day is showing a very inconsistent zone.

I haven't seen anything to complain about too much.

[UNCBlue012]

Well, he struck out Harper so I'm happy enough.

[bravesfanMatt]

I haven't seen anything to complain about too much.

It looks by game day the McCarthy isn’t getting the low end of the zone.

[UNCBlue012]

LET'S GO

[msstate7]

Suzuki

[jpx7]

expecting a yuge game from Suzuki

yuge call

[msstate7]

Acuna can't get here soon enough

[bravesfanMatt]

expecting a yuge game from Suzuki

Say what?

[msstate7]

Come on McCarthy.

[Garmel]

Remember when everybody thought Tucker was for real. /Enscheff

[bravesfanMatt]

That is like 13 double plays today.

[Julio3000]

Our boys need to gather round McCarthy and learn the art of the Chuckie Hernandez K.

[Enscheff]

Remember when everybody thought Tucker was for real. /Enscheff

Remember when there were comments about keeping Acuna down longer so Tucker could have more ABs?

[msstate7]

Swanson good AB

[Enscheff]

Swanson laid off a slider to walk!!

[thewupk]

Swanson laid off a slider to walk!!

sweet jesus

[bravesfanforlife88]

great AB from Swanson....been encouraging to see him get off to a good start

[Julio3000]

Yeah, good battle. If he can't hit sliders, he can at least lay off.

[jpx7]

Was that an IBB to get to the two pitchers’ spots in the lineup, or did Cole think Dansbae’s slider problem would lead him to chase pitches even to the opposite batter’s box?

[msstate7]

Swanson laid off a slider to walk!!

Jack Wilson is learning

[Ozzie Swanson]

Swanson laid off a slider to walk!!

Multiple sliders. Dansby's performance early this season has probably been the most encouraging thing for me. If he can hit we have a really good up the middle combination for a long time.

[Julio3000]

That ability is really all that's held him back, IMO.

[thethe]

Dansby starting to live up to #1 overall pick status?

[msstate7]

Try to steal

[Enscheff]

Remember when everybody thought Tucker was for real. /Enscheff

My favorite....LOL


I don't think people were attributing his (Acuna) slow start as the reason for taking extra time before promoting him (I wasn't anyway). It's more about riding a hot hand in Tucker to see what you've got with him. He made several adjustments last season and finally started producing. Then he falls into our laps and carries a scorching hot camp into the season. I personally would like to see him get as many ABs as possible

[thethe]

Inciarte needs to hit. He's better than this.

[Ozzie Swanson]

When Ender is going slow at the plate he turns in some really ****ty at bats.

[msstate7]

We cleared the 3 pitcher spots. We score next inning

[Garmel]

Inciarte needs to hit. He's better than this.

He started off really slow last year. He'll get going.

[Ozzie Swanson]

CRAP. McCarthy is made of glass.

[Garmel]

Oh no. I see visions of Sims, Blair, or Wisler coming up.

[Enscheff]

Couple more doozies!!


Wonder how many ABs we will be able to get tucker. I really like his bat


With tucker hitting well, do you think acuna feels some pressure to get off to a fast start?

When the topic of signing Harper came up, Cy jokingly (I think) said:


Where would he play? We’ve got Tucker and Acuna.

To which tehteh replied...


You trade Incite in a package for a TOR arm.

So tehteh thinks Tucker is so good the Braves can afford to trade Inciarte and roll with a Tucker/Acuna/Harper OF.

[bravesfanforlife88]

Did his shoulder just pop out?

[Enscheff]

McCarthy is the most fragile human on Earth?

The inning was over, and he called the trainer out?

[Ozzie Swanson]

Did his shoulder just pop out?

From the way he reacted and the way the trainer was maneuvering his shoulder it looked like he dislocated it.

[bravesfanMatt]

What happened

[Ozzie Swanson]

What happened

Ground ball to Freeman. McCarthy went to cover first and when Freeman flipped him the ball McCarthy reached back to catch it and immediately reacted in pain.

[Enscheff]

What happened

Mr Glass caught a flip from Freeman while covering 1B and somehow hurt his left shoulder.

[bravesfanMatt]

Can he still be out pitching coach though

[chop2chip]

Well... this is what you can reasonably expect when you trade Matt Kemp in a salary dump.

Hopefully McCarthy doesn’t miss much time.

[Enscheff]

I shouldn't talk...I tweaked my knee last night bending down to adjust a baby gate.

[chop2chip]

Sounds like McCarthy just popped his shoulder out of his socket, so I’m cautiously optimistic this is a nothing burger.

[jpx7]

Pitch Swansong struck out on looked wayyy inside on GameCast. Accurate?

[Garmel]

Swanson's already has had quite a few ****ty called strikeouts already this year.

[Ozzie Swanson]

Pitch Swansong struck out on looked wayyy inside on GameCast. Accurate?

Not WAY inside but it was off the corner inside.

[Enscheff]

The Braves may actually win a challenge!

[Enscheff]

Victory!!

[Enscheff]

And it made no difference

[USMA76]

Double play on the next batter so when we do win a challenge, it becomes a Pyrrhic victory. Seems like when we lose a challenge, it costs us a game...whine.

[Garmel]

The BABIP gods' generosity from earlier in the year has been rescinded.

[msstate7]

Radio not liking strike zone on severino walk

[msstate7]

Bourjas!

[BeanieAntics]

Hope we bring on Minter next inning to fact the top of the lineup. He needs more high leverage work like that.

[BeanieAntics]

Bourjas!

Literally the best left fielder to ever don the Braves uniform or nah?

[msstate7]

Can't leave ender as leadoff. Drop em a while

[Julio3000]

Jurdy is gonna be an All-Star

[Ozzie Swanson]

Minter needs to be the closer.

[BeanieAntics]

Aj Minter good boi

[sturg33]

Damn Minter

[Garmel]

Minter was crazy good that inning.

[Julio3000]

Minter just owned Turner and Bryce.

[Enscheff]

That’s was certainly impressive.

[bravesfanforlife88]

First time getting to see Minter......holy cow

[bravesfanforlife88]

Literally the best left fielder to ever don the Braves uniform or nah?

The best since Kemp!

[bravesfanMatt]

That was impressive

[thewupk]

Minter needs to be the closer.

Or have him face the best hitters late in the game like today. I doubt it was by design but that was the best spot for him in the game.

[thethe]

Is Camargo ready yet?

[BeanieAntics]

Or have him face the best hitters late in the game like today. I doubt it was by design but that was the best spot for him in the game.

Yep. I would rather have our best guy go against the best part of the lineup no matter where it occurred late in the game.

[Ozzie Swanson]

Viz sucks.

[Garmel]

Viz does it again.

[Enscheff]

Really wish the Braves had traded him for Odorizzi.

[thethe]

Trash

[msstate7]

Aj for closer, please

[Garmel]

This gets even better.

[msstate7]

Go get him and let him be long man

[bravesfanforlife88]

Can we trade Teheran and Viz? It's like watching Bartolo and Jim Johnson last year....

Absolutely terrible

[msstate7]

Not chuckie... snitker. Get him out or we lose

[Ozzie Swanson]

I really hate watching Viz lose us games.

[mfree80]

Good Grief

[Garmel]

Whew! At least we're still in it.

Assuming you missed Matt Adams at #5 ...

:FrediWut:

[Julio3000]

Yesterday I was reviewing old threads that had us trading Viz and Julion for some combination of Benintendi, Kopech, Moncada, and Devers.,

[Julio3000]

:FrediWut:

Yeah, I see you.

[bravesfanforlife88]

Great at bats by Inciarte and Albies no matter the result...

Stike out and a stolen base....thats okay

[sturg33]

Yesterday I was reviewing old threads that had us trading Viz and Julion for some combination of Benintendi, Kopech, Moncada, and Devers.,

If memory serves there were many opposed to those deals

[Julio3000]

If memory serves there were many opposed to those deals

I don't think those deals were ever on the table, fwiw.

[Prikichi]

"I don't know if this Dr. Doolittle talks to animals but he does have a slider, which he just used" -Chip

[sturg33]

I don't think those deals were ever on the table, fwiw.
I know.

It was pipedreams.

And people still opposed

[jpx7]

Lol for real did Inciarte try to streak home?

[Garmel]

He's safe but there's no way we get the call.

[sturg33]

What just happened? Following on gameday says ender tried stealing home?

[thewupk]

What just happened? Following on gameday says ender tried stealing home?

indeed

[sturg33]

Was it close?

[striker42]

He's safe but there's no way we get the call.

I can't remember a single blown call going our way this series.

[Ozzie Swanson]

Inciarte is a moron for trying that.

[Enscheff]

Despite what the moron announcers say, Ender was tagged on the bill of his helmet.

[TheBravos]

Viz does it again.

Who was saying a few days ago the Viz was “ok”. I’m don’t with his inconsistent arse. Can’t trade him quick enough...

[bravesfanMatt]

Why try that with Kurt about to walk to load bases.

[BeanieAntics]

That was actually a good call on the review. I'm pretty sure the catcher got the bill of Inciarte's helmet before his hand touched home, but Skip and Joe missed that. That is what ended up knocking his helmet off.

[bravesfanforlife88]

Despite what the moron announcers say, Ender was tagged on the bill of his helmet.

have to agree with that

[Enscheff]

Was it close?

It was close. The morons in the booth refuse to acknowledge ender was tagged on the bill of the helmet before he was tagged on the chest.

The usual suspects here agree with them.

[msstate7]

Ender is definitely hurting much more than he is helping

[bravesfanforlife88]

Why try that with Kurt about to walk to load bases.

because bourjus was on deck and he couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat

[bravesnumberone]

Tried to steal home with two outs and a 3-1 count on a guy who has already homered today.

[Enscheff]

He's safe but there's no way we get the call.

Derp. 104!

[thewupk]

Ender is definitely hurting much more than he is helping

he currently isn't playing well

[msstate7]

It was close. The morons in the booth refuse to acknowledge ender was tagged on the bill of the helmet before he was tagged on the chest.

The usual suspects here agree with them.
Well it wasn't confirmed.

[Enscheff]

Well it wasn't confirmed.

Like I said, usual suspects.

[Garmel]

Derp. 104!

Derp. Snitker needs another chance.

[BeanieAntics]

Like I said, usual suspects.

If you go frame by frame, you can clearly see the tag being applied to the bill of the helmet and that being what knocked Ender's helmet off. It is conclusive.

[Enscheff]

If you go frame by frame, you can clearly see the tag being applied to the bill of the helmet and that being what knocked Ender's helmet off. It is conclusive.

Yup.

Like I said, usual suspects.

[Enscheff]

Derp. Snitker needs another chance.

LOL is that the best you can come up with? That I said Snit may need to be given a chance now that he is armed with better data?

[Enscheff]

Braves don't need BABIP luck. They will just hit bombs!!

Suzuki's HRs have averaged about 340', but they still count!

[cajunrevenge]

Babe Suzuki!

[bravesnumberone]

And that's why you don't try to ducking steal home when he's up.

[Garmel]

LOL is that the best you can come up with? That I said Snit may need to be given a chance now that he is armed with better data?

Derp! Give snitker another chance! Derp!

[thethe]

Last year was not a fluke

[thewupk]

And that's why you don't try to ducking steal home when he's up.

I doubt he gets a pitch to hit with that count, a base open, and the person behind him.

[Garmel]

I slowed it down on the DVR. The helmet was not hit until his hand hit the plate.

[Southcack77]

Nats will trade him for Odorizzi. makes too much sense not to happen.

I don't know, they might prefer Jermaine Palacios.

[Ozzie Swanson]

BABIP Swanson!

[BeanieAntics]

The BABIP gods literally just defecated all over the field. Those were the two weakest doubles I have ever seen haha

[Enscheff]

Last year was not a fluke

Right. Those 320' HRs are sure to keep happening! Wahoooo!

[thethe]

Right. Those 320' HRs are sure to keep happening! Wahoooo!

Dude - Can you just take a chill pill and realize that things said in the GDT are said by fans for fun.

I can't imagine you are the most fun person to be around in RL.

[Southcack77]

The BABIP gods literally just defecated all over the field. Those were the two weakest doubles I have ever seen haha

How did the Braves manage to have back to back doubles without scoring a second run?

[Enscheff]

I slowed it down on the DVR. The helmet was not hit until his hand hit the plate.

LOL you're just going to keep doubling down on this just like you kept going in the Newk hitting 104 thread.

Seriously, be right about something...just once.

[Enscheff]

Dude - Can you just take a chill pill and realize that things said in the GDT are said by fans for fun.

I can't imagine you are the most fun person to be around in RL.

I can't imagine you are tolerable in RL either. Constant stupidity spewing from the mouth of a documented genius would be annoying.

[USMA76]

I slowed it down on the DVR. The helmet was not hit until his hand hit the plate.

That's the way it looked to me from the angles shown on the gNats broadcast. However, it was so close I couldn't see anything sufficiently conclusive to overturn the original call.

[Ozzie Swanson]

Embarrassing if we don't score here.

[BeanieAntics]

How did the Braves manage to have back to back doubles without scoring a second run?

The first was a bloop by Bourjos with Adams playing in for the bunt. The second was a pop fly to no mans land that Bourjos had to hold up on and Dansby just made it into a hustle double.

[Garmel]

LOL you're just going to keep doubling down on this just like you kept going in the Newk hitting 104 thread.

Seriously, be right about something...just once.

I am right about this, you sociopathic nutcase. Go watch it again.

[bravesnumberone]

I doubt he gets a pitch to hit with that count, a base open, and the person behind him.

That's for the Nats to decide. All the more reason, if you're going to try to do it, do it with a worse hitter up there.

[USMA76]

Embarrassing if we don't score here.

Consider us embarrassed.

[thewupk]

Swanson is for real. #1 draft pick power!

[thewupk]

That's for the Nats to decide. All the more reason, if you're going to try to do it, do it with a worse hitter up there.

What team pitches to Suzuki in that situation with Bourjos on deck?

[msstate7]

Got to get ender out of leadoff spot.

[BeanieAntics]

I can't imagine you are tolerable in RL either. Constant stupidity spewing from the mouth of a documented genius would be annoying.

Honestly, if I could get you two in a room together that sounds like one of the most fun things ever lol.

[Enscheff]

How did the Braves manage to have back to back doubles without scoring a second run?

That’s what happens when the doubles were hit a combined 200’.

[Enscheff]

Inciarte is a moron for trying that.

If Ender or Albies were safe there would have been pages of posts about how heads up and savvy they are. Then it would morph into discussing how analytics don’t capture “knowing how to play the game”.

[msstate7]

Well here we go

[USMA76]

Nice play by Culberson.

[Enscheff]

How much did that HR increase MAdams' trade value?

[bravesnumberone]

What team pitches to Suzuki in that situation with Bourjos on deck?

What team or player with any baseball IQ tries to steal there? That's the bigger question.

[msstate7]

How much did that HR increase MAdams' trade value?

I almost feel bad going after him knowing all of the emotional problems that he has. Almost, that is.

[bravesnumberone]

is it?

I don't understand what you're going for here. I wouldn't have pitched to him there but did I miss where they were calling for an intentional walk? You let them make that decision. Don't run into an out with a good hitter up. Try it with the terrible hitter up there.

[bravesfanMatt]

I feel pretty certain we won’t win this game. We have given way too many chances away already.

[USMA76]

Albies, FF, Markakis... score or lose

Bottom of their order coming up in the bottom of the 12th. Really need to score here to capitalize.

[Ozzie Swanson]

Albies is so freaking good.

[thewupk]

I don't understand what you're going for here. I wouldn't have pitched to him there but did I miss where they were calling for an intentional walk? You let them make that decision. Don't run into an out with a good hitter up. Try it with the terrible hitter up there.

I'm not the one thinking he gets the same pitch to hit that he did for a homerun than in that situation with a base empty

[thewupk]

Albies is so freaking good.

Have we wasted our chance to sign him to a team friendly deal?

[bravesfanMatt]

Steal. I don’t care if they walk FF

[bravesfanMatt]

Steal. I don’t care if they walk FF

Never mind.

[bravesnumberone]

I'm not the one thinking he gets the same pitch to hit that he did for a homerun than in that situation with a base empty

Did I say he would? Have you ever heard of pitchers missing spots? Hanging pitches? Want me to run you through some of the terrible pitches the Braves have made over the years?

[thewupk]

Did I say he would? Have you ever heard of pitchers missing spots? Hanging pitches? Want me to run you through some of the terrible pitches the Braves have made over the years?

Yes please go over that for me.

[thethe]

Have we wasted our chance to sign him to a team friendly deal?

Everything has to be a negative sir?

[Ozzie Swanson]

Can we please score some freaking runs here. This would be a horrible game to lose.

[bravesnumberone]

Yes please go over that for me.

Watch a few games.

[cajunrevenge]

Still love me some Suzuki.

[USMA76]

Bases loaded nobody out. How do we screw this up? Suzuki answers the initial question.

[Enscheff]

About the same chance as you going to a shrink, which you need badly. None! LOL!

And the obsession continues. Were you the one who internet stalked me?

[Ozzie Swanson]

Bourjos!

[bravesfanMatt]

Dude walks bases loaded.

Kurt. I will swing at first pitch.

[UNCBlue012]

Woot!

[msstate7]

Bourjas has had one heck of a game

[smootness]

Gourjos

[thewupk]

Everything has to be a negative sir?

How is that negative? It was a legit question. If Albies posts the 6 WAR season you think he will then the Braves will have to pay a record deal to extend sign him in the offseason.

[Enscheff]

Have we wasted our chance to sign him to a team friendly deal?

It just won't be as team friendly. Rather than beating Anderson's 6/25 deal with 2 options, the Braves will have to beat Simmons' 7/58 deal, or Yelich's 7/50 deal with 1 or 0 options.

[USMA76]

Bourjas has had one heck of a game

After the slide that cost us the Philly game he was on my (poop) list. I may have to reconsider.

[msstate7]

Hurry up and end inning. Radio says ball is hard to see right now with shadows

[thethe]

How is that negative? It was a legit question. If Albies posts the 6 WAR season you think he will then the Braves will have to pay a record deal to extend sign him in the offseason.

Pay him whatever he wants - There will be plenty of surplus value. Guy is a freakin stud.

[sturg33]

How is that negative? It was a legit question. If Albies posts the 6 WAR season you think he will then the Braves will have to pay a record deal to extend sign him in the offseason.

In our SSS, he is pacing at >6 fWAR

[thewupk]

Pay him whatever he wants - There will be plenty of surplus value. Guy is a freakin stud.

That's not very smart

[thethe]

That's not very smart

Eh - Just pay the little man!!!

[Garmel]

And the obsession continues. Were you the one who internet stalked me?

Nope. However, I don't think it's a bad idea. When someone is dealing with a whack job such as yourself they want to know more about them. Just in case.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Stop with the back and forth. Let’s watch and hope the Braves get these last two outs

3-3 road trip to 2 playoff teams from last year. Get 1 in Chicago, and I am thrilled

[USMA76]

Much needed win

This. Showed some stones in this one.

[AJonesATL]

6 games against the Nats out the way and we've played them even. Don't see them again until June.

[chop2chip]

Bourjos made up for that win he cost us against the Phillies with that slide.

[50PoundHead]

Bourjos made up for that win he cost us against the Phillies with that slide.

Bourjos is what he is and for all the griping, it's pretty obvious why they signed him. If he hits at all, he's a good 4th OF. I think one can argue--and argue persuasively--that the last thing this team needs to be concerned about is whether they have a quality 4th OF, but Snitker is using him the way he should be used and I expect he'll be worth the million he's getting paid. I don't love the guy and didn't like the signing, but given what Anthropoulos has been talking about in terms of defense, I understood why the Braves did it.

As for Vizcaino, he viz what he viz.

As for Charlie Culberson, let's send him off with the knowledge that the Nats feared his bat so much, his last major league AB was an intentional walk.

[Julio3000]

Did not think we were going to win that one. We're ahead of the game on the road trip IMO.

[bravesfanMatt]

Not that it matters but I finally got to see the steal home and I have to disagree that he was out. His helmet comes off when he lands and the glove never touches it. Agree that it would be hard to over turn though.

Did not think we were going to win that one. We're ahead of the game on the road trip IMO.

Just have to limp along until we get the reinforcements. The close we are to 500 when we are fully healthy and promotes are made the better.

Didn’t get to watch the game...what exactly happened to McCarthy?

Well I’ll be John Brown

[Orphan Black]

A fly landed on his left shoulder and dislocated his arm

but really...he covered the 1st base bag on a grounder to Freddie and Freddie tossed him the ball and dislocated his left arm.

It was strange. He didn’t really reach back that much. Just like running caused his arm to pop out.

[Julio3000]

Sort of a Mike Hampton hammy situation.

Deep cut.

[Garmel]

Not that it matters but I finally got to see the steal home and I have to disagree that he was out. His helmet comes off when he lands and the glove never touches it. Agree that it would be hard to over turn though.

I was watching the MLB channel and everybody on the panel agreed that he was safe.

[Nerfherders]

Funny thing. I couldn't watch or really pay attention to the game at work today, and I looked at the score when it was 2-1 bottom 9, and then again 3-3, but I thought it said bottom 12 bases loaded, 0 outs, so I turned it off and was steamed all afternoon cuz I figured for sure the Braves lost. Turns out, it was actually Top 12 that I saw, lol.

Lane is right

[Carp]

I mean, I'm pretty sure they can see the umpires reaction during the replay. I guess you could show them a cut portion that removes the umpires or ends before the umpires makes the call, but that seems like it would take even more time.

[Heyward]

Pretty big win, if they can salvage a win in Chicago, a 4-5 road trip, and 6-6 record with the Was x2, Chi, and Col last 12 would be a pretty big win.

Sort of a Mike Hampton hammy situation.

Well at least insurance will cover his contract while he stays on the DL until retirement .

[Runnin]

This team's got some moxie.

[bravesguy]

This team's got some moxie.

They do indeed.

4 days until we see the updated roster...

Ender, Ozzie, freddie, acuna, swanson, flowers/suzuki, markakis, carmargo

That should be fun to watch.
