GDT 8/6 BRAVES vs CARDINALS: Roberto Hernandez era begins

[UNCBlue012]

Great job Garcia! He's doing a great job.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Seriously? This is awesome!

I'm sure the Cards fans will still be whining about it 31 years from now, much like they still are the Denkinger call.

Yet whenever we bring up the infield fly we are told we should let it go.

Guys, y'all know we're not going to score anything tomorrow after a night like this, right?

Infield fly. They better not complain.

Have you tested the springs on the trampoline recently? This'll be the Braves 7th win in the last 11 IIRC.

 

[USMA76]

Tell me again why EOF is on our roster?

When FF warms up he's usually stays hot for a few games, so we'll probably score some tomorrow

It gets checked at least three times a week to keep up optimal performance.

Three times a week may be overkill in light of the way we've played this year.

On another note, Al Hrabosky signed off by saying, "it's sure disappointing when you can't beat bad teams like the Braves." While it's true, it sounds like sour grapes to me.

Living in NY in 1984, I watched him strike out 14 (I think) and pitch a one hitter against the Cubs during that year's NL pennant race. At the time, I thought I was looking at a sure Hall of Famer and a modern day Bob Gibson. Things sure didn't turn out that way but I've never seen a rookie pitcher with more potential.

Does it feel like our games are called by the two guys in the Sonic commercials?

JMO, but he was the most impressive Pitcher I've seen in my 47 years. Perfect example of how fleeting MLB success is, but when he was at his best he was as good as anyone I've ever seen.

Guess we will get to see a few more starts from Fausto Carmona
