Do y'all think if Freeman hit one hard enough through the right side that he could be thrown out at first?

Wanna say I saw it happen to mo vaughn back in the day.

No dp for CJ!

About a dozen years ago at Shea stadium, Braves RF BJ Surhoff threw out a Met at first base to preserve a close game that the Braves wound up winning.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

In a small sample size. I'm sure you and Fredi would get along since you both enjoy seeing bad hitters at the top of the order. We're you ok with BJ up there too?

100 plate appearances isn't a small sample size. He's hit second in the order the third most of any other spot this season. And I don't even need to answer your question regarding BJ Upton.

At this point, I'd trade our current BJ for our past BJ. At least we'll have some veteran leadership with about the same offensive production.

Laird must have made a horrific fart at the mound when Hale came in. Everyone was giggling.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Man, that was quite a story Chip just told about Neil Walker's father.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Does Neil Walker still live with his parents?

OT college football note while we have a break in the action: Ohio State QB Braxton Miller got hurt today and his season may be in jeopardy.

Back to baseball.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Arizona ties it up!!

 

[Dalyn]

Peralta!

 

[Braves1976]

D'Backs not dead yet, tie with a homer in 9th and still batting with a runner on.

 

[Dalyn]

Can't keep a good Laird down.

 

[USMA76]

Signs of the Apocalypse--Ryan Doumit with a pinch hit single.

 

[CyYoung31]

Damn. Thought Heyward may have gotten that.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Free baseball up in D.C.

 

[Hulavol]

Heyward's rbi was big.

 

[Mrs. Meta]

Can't keep a good Laird down.

Is that mark bowman?

 

[CyYoung31]

Well, we got an insurance run. Can't Axford much mor than that.

 

[Julio3000]

Free baseball up in D.C.

Or, as Chip would say, a rulebook tiebreaker.

 

[Dalyn]

Is that mark bowman?

Could be. I thought it was Laird.

 

[Dalyn]

Or, as Chip would say,

Bales of cocaine, fallin’ from low-flyin’ plane
I don’t know who done dropped ‘em, but I thank ‘em just the same
Bales of cocaine, fallin’ like a foreign rain
My life changed completely by the low-flyin’ planes
