5/23/15 Brewers @ Braves

[Tapate50]

He gave up hits to Gomez and Braun. He's not exactly the first guy to ever do that.

Trade him for whatever you can get. He's done

 

[Braves1976]

Darn, great throw by the Brewers catcher. Good pitch to throw on too. Oh well.

 

[Braves1976]

Haha.

Miller deserves a better lineup than that. And better construction.

 

[Braves1976]

Miller is a different pitcher than he had been most of last year. He's not just throwing a sinker more but a lot more cutters too. So no longer just a two pitch pitcher like in the past. He's having a lot of success so far with both the sinker and cutter too.

I think his next step is mixing in his curveball and/or developing his change up.

I really hope we never trade for Braun, like Tapate50 said, I cannot stand him. Of course part of it goes back to his repeated lying and how he did it in such a self-righteous manner. I'd hate to have him on the Braves no matter what his numbers are. Further, it seems apparently I am not alone as Atlanta fans are said to be the most hard on Braun among fans in general.

Understand the premise, but talent trumps all.

Not saying i love Braun or anything but if Mil would eat some of the deal, it's something worth considering.

Nah, we should trade him for Todd Frazier, obviously.

 

[Tapate50]

This guy is carving us up.

 

[Tapate50]

Always liked Parra as a player. Does everything pretty well

Totally disagree. Enough said.

I like him too. But he wasn't as good last year as in the past.

 

[TomahawkCult]

Boy I really can't stand anything about Braun. He has a **** eating jack Parkman type demeanor in the box

It's the "Wait fo my signal, ump" stiff arm between pitches that grates on my nerves. Get. On. With. It.

It's pretty dramatic.

Love Lucroy getting messed with

 

[chop2chip]

Listening on the radio... Mark Lemke sounds like Jame Gumb.

 

[Braves1976]

That hop wasn't that off, AJ has failed to catch a number of throws like that this year. While Bethancourt has caught hops tougher up the line and got outs.

 

[Braves1976]

Maybin just missed a homer there.

 

[Braves1976]

Nice hustle by Gomes there to keep the inning going.

 

[Hawk]

Callaspo = boner killer

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