5/24... pirates game 3

[TheBravos]

Is it Motte's turn to have a bad outing?

tv tidbit of the night: the 88 Braves did not win a series (I assume season series?) against any opponent. finished 54-106, 39.5 games out.

Hell, I probably watched half of these games or more. Well maybe not watched, had it on in the background.

No its just proof that you guys know about as much as I do which is nothing, You never know what's happening in this game at-bat to at-bat.

Agreed. So because of that we should build a team out of guys that get on base 30% of the time rather than get guys who get on base 35% of the time....because you just never know!

Further, we should not call guys with a .200 average to be bad hitters....because you just never know!!

 

[TheBravos]

Motte seems tired...

 

[Enscheff]

Bonifacio is one of the worst position players in the game. He does not need to be on this roster.

Not true. He got a hit once, so you just never know!!

Atbat to at bat...you just don't know!!

Only bright spot I can remember was Smoltz's debut, won it at Shea.

Krol has been big in last 2 outings. Hopefully he's bout to have a good season

Speaking of medlen... when's his next start?

The Braves just seem to be playing with a ton of confidence. Almost like they think they are better than they are.

I think they will finish over. 500

I am for aggressive running. But on a 2-0 count with big boys coming up... make him throw a strike or two first.

Inciarte covers ground much better in cf than between 1b and 2b

I'd like to think so but, realistically, I'd be happy with the 75 I predicted in the preseason. With Dickey and Colon in the rotation I just can't see 80 plus wins.

I'm not sure I think that, but I am considering pretending that I do for dramatic and comedic effect.

If the starting pitching was not garbage, they'd be over .500 now. Not really sure that's going to change though.

KEMvP just Warring along. Man this inning could be big if not for a dumb steal attempt..

This is clearly a WC team. Ignore the 2 worst stretches of the season and they are in pace to win 92 games.

World Class?

You still haven't answered my PM yet.

No, it means Water Closet--European term for lavatory.
