9/1/2015 GDT: September 1 vs Marlins; Olivera Day One

[Braves1976]

No way. Chicks dig the long ball, not the soft grounders straight at infielders

Haha, that's not the only thing they dig being long, just ask Jose Canseco after the steriods..

 

[msstate7]

You can write us in as the #1 pick in stone. This team is complete garbage.

 

[Garmel]

Kelly is so dominant at AAA but hasn't been able to translate it to the Majors.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Atlanta will only be 1.5 ahead of Philadelphia for the worst record after tonight.

He has sketchy control but makes up for it with awful command of his fastball in the zone.

 

[msstate7]

Bour would be tied for our team lead in hr's with 15. He has about 50 less ab's than FF. Our lack of power is pretty embarrassing

 

[Julio3000]

Haha, Joe Simpson just called our roster placeholders.

Unless philly calls up and plays nothing but their AA team, we'll pass them.

TV guys said hart is concerned about the lack of progress in our young pitchers. Olivera doesn't appear to be the savior to me. Think hart wondering what the heck he's done?

I do like how we drafted. I like our lower minor league talent. I'm not sold at all on our upper minor/barely mlb guys though

 

[Julio3000]

Chip just went with "fun to watch" and "manufacturing runs" back-to-back.

Took you three whole ABs, huh?

It was the strike out haha

Chip just won't admit this team blows, or that he does.

I'm fairly certain listening to Chip during games the last few weeks that he's so high he's convinced we're still in hunt for the division let alone 2nd wild card spot.

Don Orsillo is being let go by the Red Sox. I would rather have him than Chip, but Chip pretty much has a job for life with the BRaves thanks to his dad being one of the icons of Braves broadcasting.

 

[Julio3000]

Aloha, Burawa.

 

[msstate7]

Thru 16 innings vs marlin pitching, we still haven't scored.

Chip's probably a lifer. He probably learned his lesson in Chicago.

 

[Julio3000]

Au revoir, Burawa.

 

[Julio3000]

Have they been discussing the rebuilding process on the broadcasts recently? I haven't been watching much. They talked about it for a whole inning.

 

[AerchAngel]

If we get shutout tonight, all my questions is going to be of the "poke fun at" sorts. Yes we suck but I won't give up (John Cena FTW).

Questions like, how many times will the Brave be shut out?

How many innings a row we will be shut out?

Will we manage 8 hits in a game?

How many newcomers will play (hell, who is this Barawa guy? never heard of him)

1970's and 80's revisited, love those days.

 

[blueagleace1]

Burawa has some nice stuff, another nice bullpen piece for next year.
