The Braves

[Herbert The Love Bug]

I cannot believe how completely terrible BJ is. It blows my mind. He can't even get down a bunt. There is no reason that dude should be on a major league team. I think it is time to give Schafer his long overdue shot. Guy is a 5 tool player and could do so much more damage at the top of the line up. We need a speedster that can get on in front of Freeman and co. He is also a better baserunner and outfielder than BJ. Bj is the worst move the Braves have ever made. And I thought nothing could be worse than trading Adam Wainwright for freaking JD Drew or trading a lot of future great players for a year and a half of Texiera

Good night for the Upton bros. Both with multiple hit games, and BJ with a great throw to home to throw out a runner at the plate.  Not too worried about Justin, but I am hoping BJ can use this night to get his confidence up a bit. Good win tonight.

It's just not baseball season until you see the majestic arm of Ryan Zimmerman as he casually lobs one into the stands. May that man never retire.

 

Good game for BJ, needs to keep it up.

[Lemory]

Watching Zimmerman throw makes my arm hurt. Also love seeing Harper throw temper tantrum's in the dugout like a spoiled child.

Boy when our bats go cold it is just sad..

[Joscott]

That starting pitching is at least killing it. What should be a weakness has been pretty darn good for us and that's without Minor still.

I think part of the offensive struggle was the batting order. Hopefully Gonzo wises up and lets you know who and you know who ride the bench if they keep struggling for long spells.

[JJman]

Fredi is a moron for pulling Santana after 8 innings. Only 88 pitches and he was cruising. Tonight could of been devastating if Kimbrel didn't get that final out.

[Kakarot]

Lawd have mercy....Justin! A mammoth shot

[Joscott]

What an awful game with an awesome ending. The good Upton reached base everytime he game to the plate, including the game tying and winning RBI's. Safe to say he's hot at the moment.

 

How Uggla can keep a job is beyond me at this point. Gonzo will once again refuse to make changes. Pena should start and Uggla can take LaStella's place in the minors.

 

I'd really like a highlight reel of Angel Hernandez and Braves games. He's another guy I'm amazed can hold down a job.

[Kakarot]

Yea, Justin and Freddie are both on fire at the moment.

[Lemory]

Justin is tearing the ball up! It finally looks like BJ is getting a little confidence and making solid contact. Hope he keeps it up.

[Joscott]

I don't give him praise for fear of jinxing him. Justin and Freddie are lights out right now. Harang has been a really nice surprise.

The Brewers and Expos only losses have come from the Braves this year. Of course we continue to struggle with the Mets.

I'm going to see the Braves play the Angels in June. Will for sure be a tough one but looking forward to seeing some big names.

Also if you haven't seen "On Jeff Ears" yet, it's worth a google. Frenchy being Frenchy.

[Rise of The Hive]

I can't believe Fredi left Avilán in that whole time, we were forunate to win that game but this postponement will definitely give our bullpen some needed rest.
