Braves @ Padres (Rubber Game) & Futures Game Open Thread

Gondeee_tiny by gondeee on in Open Threads

Atlanta @ San Diego


The Futures game starts at 12:30 on ESPN2. Make sure you tune in to watch our speedy young centerfielder Gorkys Hernandez lace them up for the World Team. It should be a nice showcase of baseball's up and coming talent. Perhaps some of the guys playing in the game will wind up on our team in the next few weeks... humm.

It was great to see Frenchy have a good game last night and come through with a clutch hit. When was the last time we used the word Francoeur and clutch in the same sentence? Also good to see Morton and Lillibridge have good games.

Our third rookie pitcher in a row toes the rubber today; Jorge Campillo tries to even his record at 4-and-4 and break his two-game personal losing streak.

Next Game

Atlanta Braves
@ San Diego Padres

Sunday, Jul 13, 2008, 4:05 PM EDT
Petco Park

Jorge Campillo vs Randy Wolf

Partly cloudy. Winds blowing in from left field at 5-15 m.p.h. Game Time temperature: Around 75.

The Braves finally won in their Alternative Blues

And Pujols is defied, and he delivering rain like RBIs down on the City of Atlanta. In other words, I can’t watch the Futures game right now, because my Dish is knocked out. :(

And I hear Erin Andrews is working it. x2 :(

No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.

He's got

Quite a large swing . . . and the pitch he struck out on wasn’t that good, either.

0-for-2

Gorkys hit a come-backer right at the pitchers glove… bad luck.

0-for-3

He should fit right in. Let’s call him up.

"Yeah, when we lost the pennant in '87."

he swung right through that pitch

probably a 95 mph-ish fastball

I know...

I was just hoping Gorkys would restore some of my optimism.

But, no.

Please

It’s just the Futures game. ESPN loves when a Grady Sizemore or a Joey Votto or a Jay Bruce does well, so they can give all the credit to their rapid development to a single exhibition game. Gorkys will be fine.
