In play, out(s).

Lackey's K rate tonight is about double it is for the season. We sure do make it easy to defend.

 

[GovClintonTyree]

Lackey is pounding the strike zone. Wish we could do something with the strikes he is throwing.

Well I am complaining again, right?

How about squaring it up and ripping it back through the middle?

But we've got some really good hitters, so we're covered.

It's a start for sure.

In play, out(s).

Pena need to go away. Even Fredi admitted he shouldn't play every day.

 

[GovClintonTyree]

Congrats Tonmy. First hit at Fenway Park. Will never forget this moment.

Listening to his dad, sounds like they might have been to Fenway a time or two.

 

[thewupk]

wow what an ugly ab

Fckn bJ

 

[bravesnumberone]

Short at bat by BJ, but he was able to squeeze in another head shake at an umpire.

Because it's the only hit he'll ever have ... ?

I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop here.

 

[stpeteirish]

Nice AB BJ. Jeez we need a complete overhaul not just a new 2b.

 

[Julio3000]

Glad that MLB Gameday Scout was there to tell me that Gavin Floyd "still had plenty left" in the 4th inning. I'm relieved.

 

[tvsportscaster]

When was the last time the Braves pitching staff had a clean inning, my goodness they've had a ton of baserunners the last three games.

 

[stpeteirish]

Short at bat by BJ, but he was able to squeeze in another head shake at an umpire.

yeah, he swung at all three of those pitches because he can't trust the ump. We don't just need ahitting coach, we need a hitter's shrink.

 

[bravesnumberone]

For starters, we can put the guy who can actually square up an offspeed pitch in the second spot in the order and remove BJ. But yes, there are many many things to fix on this squad.

how'd you like to pitch for a team that can't hit or field? With 3 bad catchers.

team is a mess. we're in first place by default.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

team is a mess. we're in first place by default.

Yeah somebody has to win this division.

 

[bravesnumberone]

team is a mess. we're in first place by default.

We could very well win the division with 83-85 wins.

Maybe it'll work out like it did for the '06 Cardinals.
