Expecting a yuge game from Camargo.

He's due.

[Hulavol]

Expecting Dallas to get RBI hit!

[NYCBrave]

Does this mean the Ortega experiment is over? Especially with Markakis set to return Friday.

[Carp]

Expecting a yuge game from bloom tonight.

[bravesfanMatt]

Unless we are resting starters. Taco seasoning shouldn’t start another game. We should be testing our post season players at this point.

That’s Taco Sauce to you

That's what I think we're seeing with Camargo. Audition for playoffs.

go with the hottest of Camargo, Riley and Duvall

Why should looks have anything to do with it?

He is now hitting .197 so i'd hope they'd seen enough.

[msstate7]

That slam vs dodgers though... I'll always be a fan

He's due.

Yep==

5 for 10 since recall, 2 HRs, 2 Dbls, 1.300 SLG, OBP .545

Needs to expand the sample size. Today will be his 9th game since recall.

I was being a little funny

[CyYoung31]

Flowers will be the MVP of this game.

[drewdat]

Flowers will be the MVP of this game.

For whom?

[Snowman]

Radio pre-game, Joe caught himself about 90% of the way through saying something unbelievably stupid. They were talkin g about Sept 11, 01, and he goes "you know, it seems like it comes around about this time every... ummmm.... ummmmm.... uhhhhh."

[Snowman]

Okay, first, it's about damn time. Second, there's no way moving Nicky Singles to left was Snitker's decision.

[salmagundy]

According to Snits, when Markakis returns it will be in LF

[salmagundy]

Okay, first, it's about damn time. Second, there's no way moving Nicky Singles to left was Snitker's decision.

Snits isn't that smart. It had to come from outside the dugout.

[Snowman]

Absotively posilutely.

[salmagundy]

Absotively posilutely.

The question remains, how often will Markakis face a LHP to start the game??

[Snowman]

The question remains, how often will Markakis face a LHP to start the game??

Every day and Sunday doubleheaders.

[salmagundy]

Nats score 2 in 1st vs Twins as Mutts score 5 vs the Snakes

[salmagundy]

Every day and Sunday doubleheaders.

If moving Markakis to LF came from outside the dugout, why wouldn't the same dictate include not to hit him vs LHP??

[Snowman]

If moving Markakis to LF came from outside the dugout, why wouldn't the same dictate include not to hit him vs LHP??

I have no idea, but since they haven't done it yet I'm not going to believe it until I see it happen two lefties in a row.

[UNCBlue012]

Lets go!!

[Snowman]

Flowers will be the MVP of this game.

Winner


For whom?

Loser

[bravesfanMatt]

Expecting a yuge game from bloom tonight.

Hmm

Crap was first. Real winner. I mean Carp.

I never even saw his post.

Ahh, CTRL-F for "flow" failed me. Nothing personal,Carp.

[bravesfanMatt]

That homer should go to the whole team. They flat wore F-Lin out tonight.

[CyYoung31]

Ahh, CTRL-F for "flow" failed me. Nothing personal,Carp.

Don’t worry. If 3 runs wins this game, I’m the true winner. I didn’t beat around the Flower bush. I went all in.

[thewupk]

Braves have been doing a great job of getting the starters pitch count up lately. Will bode well in the playoffs.

[Snowman]

I don't have any flower bushes, but if I did, I'd want you to stay well away from them after this post.

[salmagundy]

It doesn't matter who was 1st, they both should get qudos for the pick.

[CyYoung31]

I like to play a game of hide-n-see in the flower bush outside your mom’s house.

Well, that's horribly sad.

Nats up 5-0 in 3rd, Mutts 7-0 in 4th.

[NYCBrave]

Hopefully Camargo is not injured too bad

[thewupk]

I think you mean unstoppable.

Metropolitans too.

[thewupk]

They will win more playoff games than we will

[Snowman]

Y'all better not sleep on the Marlins. You know they win the WS when they don't win the division.

[CyYoung31]

They will win more playoff games than we will

Well, duh. Any longer limbs you wanna go out on?

[CyYoung31]

Wow. Brutal call.

[Carp]

I never even saw his post.

Waitress at the Olive Garden distract you?

[USMA76]

Wow. Horse**** call.

FIFY

[CyYoung31]

Waitress at the Olive Garden distract you?

I have you on ignore.

[salmagundy]

Of all the BS calls against the Braves this year, the interference against Josh has to be in the top 3.

And I agree, it should be a reviewable.

[CyYoung31]

They just give an update on Camargo?

[Snowman]

"interferes with the catcher's fielding or throwing by stepping out of the batter's box or making any other movement that hinders the catcher's play at home base."

Damn, I think once again I have to give the ump a pass. That wording, "any other movement," basically puts it all on the batter unless he turns into a statue.

[salmagundy]

Yes!! Contusion of shin

[Carp]

I have you on ignore.

Snowflake.

Josh never left the box and swing momentum turned his back to Realamuto.

There should be a statement about "intention".

[bravesfanMatt]

Just like the waitress has you.

[UNCBlue012]

Let’s go!!!!

[Snowman]

Josh never left the box and swing momentum turned his back to Realamuto.

There should be a statement about "intention".
I agree, but another section specifically says if the natters interfered with the throw "intentionally or unintentionally. " So I guess that is by design, and the weight is all on the batter. Which sucks.

[CyYoung31]

Wow.

[CyYoung31]

Snowflake.

I’m literally shaking.

[salmagundy]

Ortega is a mistake looking for a place to happen. He doesn't belong on the Braves bench even at this stage of the season.

[msstate7]

The phillies' pen shutting us down is annoying

[salmagundy]

The phillies' pen shutting us down is annoying

It won't last much longer.

My concern is about Keuchel throwing the 6th after a long 5th and the Braves offense being shut down on 6 pitches in the Top of 6th.

[Snowman]

See, y'all tempted Zeus with all this rain and umbrella ****, and now its raining.

[salmagundy]

Keuchel should be done with 97 pitches thru 6 IP.

The BP should be well rested

[Heyward]

Let DK go one more, or go to the pen, he's at a reasonable pitch count, 96 pitches?, and 7-8-9 for Philly. I'd assume he's done though.

[CyYoung31]

Ronald better stay put in this rain.

[nsacpi]

Martin

[Runnin]

A decent outing for Martin.

[CyYoung31]

Martin just had an immaculate inning?

[CyYoung31]

First immaculate inning by the Braves since Buddy Carlyle in 2007.

[Snowman]

Martin just had an immaculate inning?

Buddy freaking Carlyle had the last one for the Braves?!?

[CyYoung31]

According to Wikipedia, that’s the 100th immaculate inning of all-time.

[CyYoung31]

According to Wikipedia, that’s the 100th immaculate inning of all-time.

So, a pretty rare feat and it’s getting almost no fanfare. Da fuq.

[Snowman]

Yo, BH, that's you're only skill, dude. Stop screwing it up.

[CyYoung31]

Prediction: Harper comes up with runners on in the 8th and Snitker doesn’t bring in the lefty for Greene.

[Runnin]

So, a pretty rare feat and it’s getting almost no fanfare. Da fuq.

The word immaculate oversells it.

[USMA76]

Holy hell, Hamilton!

[Snowman]

Platoon advantages aren't manly. Stay in there until you learn to get people out.

[Snowman]

The word immaculate oversells it.

I mean, it is the most perfect inning a pitcher can have, even if it a little gimmicky...

[UNCBlue012]

Wow. Horrible call.

[USMA76]

Harper should've k'd but Greene missed his spot too badly to get the call. @#$%

EDIT: Strike two to Hoskins was ball four to Harper.

[striker42]

Wow. Horrible call.

Yep. This entire crew could be fired and replaced with sloths and the game would be better for it.

[CyYoung31]

I mean, it is the most perfect inning a pitcher can have, even if it a little gimmicky...

It’s also very rare. It’s way more rare and impressive than, say, hitting for the cycle yet Chip Caray would be creaming himself in the booth over that arbitrary accomplishment.

[Runnin]

I mean, it is the most perfect inning a pitcher can have, even if it a little gimmicky...

I prefer the 3 pitch inning.

[USMA76]

"I'll take 'Mental Images I Could Absolutely Live Without for $500,' Alex."

[CyYoung31]

I got a bad feeling about this 9th inning, but maybe it’s just the Mexican food I ate earlier.

[Runnin]

I think we can agree Harper has an arm.

[nsacpi]

I got a bad feeling about this 9th inning, but maybe it’s just the Mexican food I ate earlier.

might have been horsemeat

[Snowman]

It’s also very rare. It’s way more rare and impressive than, say, hitting for the cycle yet Chip Caray would be creaming himself in the booth over that arbitrary accomplishment.

The cycle is the absolute gimmickiest of all the gimmickys. It isn't even remotely close to the best day a batter can have. Dude could have a single, double, and two homers, be better than a cycle, and a week no later no one remembers it happened.

[Runnin]

Umpires need to go.

[CyYoung31]

Walk-off homer coming up.

[Braves1976]

those were strikes this is bull****!

[USMA76]

Walk-off homer coming up.

4-6-3 double play coming up.

[USMA76]

those were strikes this is bull****!

Gotta agree. I have no idea what this ump is going to call a strike. All I know is that inside the box is irrelevant.

[CyYoung31]

This ump apparently doesn’t call anything unless it’s middle-middle.

[Runnin]

Melancon staying under control is impressive.

[CyYoung31]

WOW

Wj)hat a ****ing play!!

[Braves1976]

now go choke on some **** ump, we still win you ****!

[USMA76]

Wj)hat a ****ing play!!

Screw JD. He walks too much.

[Braves1976]

This ump apparently doesn’t call anything unless it’s middle-middle.

that was insane.

[salmagundy]

It's hard to beat a home team, but to beat a home team and the PLATE UMP who must have attended the Bucknor School of Umpiring is very impressive.

[Braves1976]

I think MM threw at least three strikes to Hernandez called balls, his first cutter to Franco was a nice pitch on the corner called a ball too. That umpire was bent on causing a blown save but we still won somehow.

[salmagundy]

Nats up 6-2 in Top 9th.

MN drops to 9 if Nats go on to win. Braves remain 9.5 games up unless Nats loose.

[CrimsonCowboy]

[Snowman]

We need to go 9-6, a .600 win percentage, to win 100 games. The magic number is also 9, which is 60% of our remaining games. Clearly not a coincidence. The Nats will only lose one game the rest of the way, and we have to win 100 to stay ahead of them.

Their magic number is 8.

[Runnin]

Can you imagine Folty trying to close a tight game with the ump squeezing him like today? He would turn 14 shades of red.

[USMA76]

We have 91 wins and Washington has 64 losses. Magic number math for baseball= 163 - leading teams wins - trailing team losses so 163 - 91 - 64 = 8

[Snowman]

Yeah, I didn't actually do math, I just misheard the Chipstick.

[Braves1976]

After the third missed strike three, he'd tell the catcher to move to the side and nail the ump. :)

Bad drug problem. Really went unchecked for too long.

[bravesfanMatt]

MLB boasting the Braves for having 3 iron men. Oz, Acuna and FF all tied with the most games played.

If Neck and JD didn’t miss time with injury they would be up there too. Proud moment for twit I am sure.
