5/23/15 Brewers @ Braves

[Hawk]

I still say we should've gave Garcia a shot at third with both KJ and CJ on the DL.

Agreed.

I was thinking earlier that if the Braves remain in pseudo-contention Aramis Ramirez would be an interesting (cheap) short-term plug.

 

[Braves1976]

Good comeback by Miller after the leadoff single. Nice strikeout to finish the inning.

 

[VirginiaBrave]

If the Brewers fall out, I would like Gomez myself, and that's taking nothing from Maybin. I think he deserves a shot at coming back. And after hearing Hart in the third, CK is not done in Atlanta.

 

[Braves1976]

Miller trying to wake up the offense himself. One out double.

 

[jpx7]

Absolutely terrible PA by Peterson.

 

[thethe]

Love Maybin.

 

[Braves1976]

Maybin continues to contribute, almost hit it out again. Nice swing by Maybin for the RBI double.

 

[thethe]

Who says we don't have power? Weakest hit double in Freeman career

 

[Braves1976]

Haha, Freeman hit that very slow but it's double thanks to the shift. Tie game.

Hypothetically, they could always just move Gomez or Maybin to LF.

Or go with Nick, Gomez, Maybin.

Not that i see us getting Gomez.

 

[Braves1976]

Miller adding more pitches is helping him keep his velocity later into games because he isn't throwing near as many hard four-seam fastballs. He has already hit 95 and 96 mph multiple times to start this inning.

 

[Heyward]

Miller doesnt have much left.

 

[Braves1976]

Good comeback by Miller, he doesn't have his best today but he's battled and mixed his pitches well enough to go at least six innings.

 

[Heyward]

6 IP, 2 runs despite not having his best stuff, cant complain.

 

[Millwood1Hitter]

Stupid question but who is CK? Craig Kimbrel coming back to Atlanta to play in the outfield?

 

[Braves1976]

The announcers are right that Miller probably should've only gave up a run as AJ should've made that play earlier in the game on the throw by Gomes.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Miller didn't have it and still pitched very well. Love it.

This game is my 78-year old grandma's first and she's a lifelong Braves fan. I need them to win.

 

[Braves1976]

I hope Fredi doesn't break Cunniff because I am liking that kid more and more.

 

[Braves1976]

The shadows must be effecting the hitters now, a number of them are missing badly including Maybin that last AB.

 

[Braves1976]

Smith has some great stuff but he's hanging his breaker with two strikes, got away with it on Freeman but not on Markakis.

Smith did it again with Gomes, hanger with two strikes. It was hard hit but right near the shortstop. Oh well.
