I just got in and see we had a 7 run inning. Evidently, six run innings weren't good enough for this team.

 

[Braves1976]

BTW, I'd use this big lead as a shot to rest Simmons. Maybe let him finish this inning and one more. But then go to Janish since Simmons doesn't get off days (and is too good to sit given what he brings defensively).

So we're facing a AA pitcher tomorrow? That'll be the day we get shut down lol.

Bettis is actually a few solid pitching prospect.

 

[MadduxFanII]

Our HP plate ump is officially in blowout mode. In the 4th inning.

 

[Five]

Sky's the limit. Very nice.

He was there by 5.

I'm watching this on the Rockies' network. Their announcers are pretty in awe of Freeman. They talk about Freddie like he's Ctulhu.

We'll have to get into a bidding war with the Rockies if we want to keep Freddie when he hits FA.

 

[Braves1976]

Overpaid compared to what though? The market sets the value and we paid it. If he has a typical BJ year(s) his contract would of paid for itself.

No one else made an offer close to ours, Philly's offer was a lot less according to reports.

That there is a classic Atlanta Braves style strikeout.

Hmm. Minor is younger than I thought he was. Thought he and Beachy were Medlen's age.

I see the Braves are whooping ass tonight, again. I wonder if it will be enough to overtake the Cards for top WRC+ in the NL. I have no doubts we will be by the end of the year.

Average salary per WAR is 4.5 mill. BJ is typically a 4-5 WAR guy. He got paid what he should have.

Now playing LF

 

[CyYoung31]

Freeman is living the hug life.

 

[Braves1976]

I'd also like to see Joey T and Todd Cunningham get to play some later in game. Maybe Constanza too. The AB's could do them all good for pinch hitting later in week.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

I'm looking at the future. Someone pass me some shades

 

[mossy]

A balk when down 8-0 is silly. C'mon blue.

 

[Dalyn]

We are seeing '08 Brian. Pretty damn nice.

 

[Five]

A balk when down 8-0 is silly. C'mon blue.

Make up call for the Uggla play at home.
