Lol the Phillies have 4 homers in this game and they are down by 11. I love it. That defense is gonna be a problem for them. It is horrific.

While I praised their Ramos pick-up, who isn't playing in this game, I also mentioned that their defense is bad and that their pitching has been able to overcome that so far. Obviously, ten unearned runs today shows that bad defense finally caught up to them.

Apparently the record for unearned runs in a game is 16. The Mets have 11 and have three innings to go.
Well the 16 unearned runs may be the most without giving up an earned run...The Mets were involved in that game too.

I never said he was a savior, smart ass. Nor is he even playing today. Ramos is a good hitter and won that game vs Boston yesterday for them, had they not activated him yesterday they lose that game 3-1. His two doubles and triple were huge. He had three RBI's and three runs scored. Further, I also mentioned their defense being bad, it caught up to them this game obviously with ten unearned runs on 4 errors.
John Smoltz is picking Philly over us. Much of what I said yesterday he said on MLB Network recently. I didn't go as far as Smoltz as I am hoping he's wrong. Not that he is the only one who thinks so. He seems to like the Phillies pitching better mostly.

What I expected after Hamels did similar and even admitted doing so and got only 5 games.

Way too light for a starting pitcher. That's not a deterrent. He threw that ball as hard as he could with the intent of inflicting harm on a kid in a defenseless position. Sorry, but there's something slightly psychopathic about that.

Yep. So basically he’s going miss one start. Not enough.

FTR, I was totally having fun. I think Ramos is a good pick up.

Philly has better pitching than Atlanta but Braves lineup and defense is a LOT better.
Also Braves pen has been alot better as of late with the new additions.
Please tell me he did an epic bat flip...

No problem. I am more thinking of the overreaction yesterday after I had basically repeated what Smoltz and others on MLB Network had said. Obviously I agree with them on Ramos, but that isn't saying he is savior. The main point is adding him and Cabrera could solidify that line-up that lacked balance offensively. That along with bad defense was their main weakness before adding them and Bour. Now it's mostly just defense. Even adding Cabrera could hurt on defense, if they play him too often at short.

This is nothing that I haven't said myself. Smoltz seems to think the better pitching will win out here. But bad defense can ruin some good pitching efforts. I have repeatedly said the Braves are among the best teams on defense under AA. Philly is just plain bad on defense.
