PrintAtlanta Braves at Miami Marlins, May 7, 2009 12:10 PM EDT
Nothing like a nooner. Players love playing afternoon games, and fans love not being able to watch them because they're at work. I excited because maybe Bobby will be forced to play Clint Sammons again -- three weeks in the majors and he's gotten into 3 games, 5 at-bats.

Slightly off topic, but it doesn't deserve a full fanpost right now
Anyone have any projections on when we are going to be seeing Hanson (and Medlen at this rate)? Think we are going to wait for a serious injury?
It has got be getting goddamned hard to keep him down there. Seriously nothing left to prove outside of the bigs.
by Sid Bream's Moustache on May 7, 2009 11:41 AM EDT reply actions
Hanson – Depending on how Kawakami and Reyes progress from here, but I’d say no ealier than June
Medlen – Next season, or when the rosters expand.

People hate the arbitration clock argument, so I’ll try another one: what are we going to do with Parr / Morton / Jo-Jo? Ideal long term solution is to trade Jo-Jo and other passable starters for better bats, but you don’t increase their trade value by sending them up and down all the time. You have to hope that they put together a few good starts, then sell high while you can. After you’ve made the space, then Jesus and Medlen get their shot to come up.
Also, I don’t think the Braves are ready to pull the plug on their 23M man from Japan to make room for Medlen / Hanson. So at best, we’ll see one of them.
Finally, while they both have been great in April, I say there’s nothing wrong with getting more experience under the belt. Pitching every 5th day for a month vs. a whole season is two different things. Lets not declare them our #1 and #2 starters just yet.
Several factors
1. How is Hanson actually doing in AAA? Right now, he’s doing well enough for me to think that he’ll get his definite call up later this year, no sooner than June 1, but has shown a few innings where if he’s not striking out the world, could prove vulnerable.
2. How Jo-Jo Reyes holds up. If Jo-Jo is pitching well, and throwing strikes, there’s no reason to demote him in favor of Hanson. Lowe, Vazquez, Jurrjens, and even Kawakami are likely going to be staying, barring any injuries or freak lapses in pitching capability.
3. The logjam. Tom Glavine is slowly on his way to coming back. Bobby Cox was quoted “he was lights out” (he uses that line to describe ALL his pitchers, regardless of true or not). Whether he deserves it or not, he’s going to take that 5th spot, not only pushing back the more qualified Jo-Jo, but also Hanson.
At this point, trades could occur, but again, barring injuries, it’s not likely we’ll see Hanson until September, or someone gets hurt or becomes ineffective.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I agree with the above posts
But I think I was subconciously fishing for someone to say “My buddy in the GM office heard that a Mid May callup was a done deal”. Though realistically I know it isn’t happening.
by Sid Bream's Moustache on May 7, 2009 12:00 PM EDT up reply actions
At least fantasize for June 1. Even in fantasy world, the Braves wouldn’t dare call up early and turn on that Arb clock.
If you haven’t noticed the Braves are a little too systematically efficient, even at the cost of the regular squad’s record at times.

Manny suspended 50 games
http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-manny-ramirez8-2009may08,0,6324894.story
Sweet!
If Dunn walks 30 fewer times, he'll drive in 15 more runs. This is thanks to the scientifically proven formula: RBI = (this is nonsense) (I made it all up).
Here's a stat: Wins as manager: Dusty Baker, 1,162; Bill James, 0.
I am surprised that you guys are surprised

My fantasy team is being flushed away
Not only do I have Manny, I also have Andre Ethier, who benefits from batting behind him.
I have Matt Kemp on pretty much all my teams, and Manny on one (and he’s gonna be replaced there by Lind, so yeah)…so I’m feeling it a little too

I think it's kind of knee-jerk
Because he’s suing EVERYONE. GNC, vitamin shoppe, the makers and all distributors. I think he’s just trying to re-coup the money he’s not making while being suspended.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I'm pretty sympathetic to someone like Romero
It’s fine if he gets suspended for breaking the rules (ignorance isn’t an excuse after all), but for what he was guilty of, I don’t think he should be put in the same category as someone who was straight up taking anabolic steroids.
Scott Boras, Ramirez’s agent, told ESPN’s Peter Gammons that his client did not test positive for steroids, but for a drug that was prescribed by a doctor for a medical condition.

But when you look at it, they had more of logjam in the outfield than we did.
Hamilton, Byrd, Murphy, Cruz were all guaranteed to get playing time. We actually weren’t sure who the centerfielder was going to be coming into camp.

Damn
Just looking at his numbers. Small sample size, etc. but that 1.173 OPS is just a little sick.
Rudy might be a wizard, but it doesn’t explain the fact that Andruw is leading that team in both OBP AND Slugging.
I seem to remember someone on this blog pimping signing him and giving him a shot in spring…can’t remember who though. Massive John maybe?

From Poz’s latest blog…
Say, for instance, you have the not-evil-but-certainly-misguided Professor Francoeur* roaming the countryside with his .307 on-base percentage and using his anti-walk machine to remove on-base percentage from every scoreboard in America.
*Francoeur’s quote — "If on-base percentage is so important, then why don’t they put it up on the scoreboard?" — is making the Internet rounds now. My sense is that Francoeur was saying it as more of joke — I know some people are hammering him about it, but I think it’s mostly just amusing. Still, it should be noted that on-base percentage does seem to be on many scoreboards at ballparks I go to. It is in Kansas City, for sure. And it makes you wonder if they don’t put it on the scoreboard in Atlanta because … of Jeff Francoeur.
Anyway, the cartoon would start with a few fans shouting,
"Oh no, Professor Francoeur has taken on-base percentage off the scoreboard!"
"Now we’re stuck with just batting average!"
"Leave slugging percentage up there, man!"
"I have no idea what the true value of Kenji Johjima is now!"
Then, Big Bill James walks over. And he says to the last fan: "Uh, Johjima’s plate discipline isn’t too good. He has only walked once this year. He only walked 19 times in 409 plate appearances last year."
Professor Francoeur: So, at least we meet, Mr. Bill James.
Bill: Yes, it’s nice to meet you.
Professor Francoeur: Likewise. But now, I will take your statistic, on-base percentage, off the scoreboard forever! Ah ha ha ha!
Bill: It’s not my statistic. It has been around for more than a hundred years. Branch Rickey was a big proponent of on-base percentage, for instance.
Professor Francoeur: Yes, well, if you had not written that book Moneyball …
Bill: I didn’t write Moneyball.
Joe Morgan (special guess appearance): He’s right. It was Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane!
Professor Francoeur: Um, well, fine! So, if Billy Beane had not written that book Moneyball …
Bill: It wasn’t Billy Beane either. It was Michael Lewis.
Professor Francoeur: Michael Lewis? The guy who wrote The Blind Side and Liar’s Poker?
Bill: I guess so, yeah.
Professor Francoeur: Well, um, OK, I’m confused now. Joe, as long as you’re here, can you talk about how you were able to walk as much as you did?
Joe Morgan: It’s about heart, Jeff.
And so, once again, our hero Bill James saves the day.

You made me realize that I looked at the wrong game. Apparently he had a fine game that day (though with 3 Ks).
I thought it was the following game, when he had the golden sombrero.
Albert Pujols has come up with the bases loaded four times already this year. He’s 3-for-3 with two homers and 10 RBIs. That means he’s now hitting .398 with 8 grand slams and 122 RBIs in his career. I love that he has more RBIs (122) than plate appearances (118) with the bases loaded.

That was the year Joe Girardi knew he was getting the axe, so he had all of his rookie and 2nd year pitchers and gave them all like 210+ IP
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Okay, i exaggerated. But Girardi really did milk them for every appearance

"If I had a little humility, I would be perfect" - Ted Turner
I wonder if the Braves will even try to retain him over the years given how much talent we have coming up in the minors. Not to mention his agent is Boras
by drumzalicious on May 7, 2009 1:37 PM EDT up reply actions
Has Boras had any clients sign a McCann / Longoria type deal buying out arb and FA years?
by volsandbraves on May 7, 2009 1:38 PM EDT up reply actions
No — Boras believes (and correctly so), that you give up millions to do that. Only time that happens is if a player wants to secure his future against career ending injury, or is so awesome (Ryan Howard / Fielder) that the deal actually becomes cheaper than having arb every year and the team losing.
I dont think so, this offseason he was actually speaking out against that. saying that agents were hurting their clients

if I was Hudson I would have jumped out of a closet with a scream mask on and stabbed him until he bled twinkie frosting.

take the anger he has for DOB out on Wickman.

The one against the Marlins wasn’t completely his fault. Bobby left Huddy in way too long, and put Wickman in bases loaded, zero out.
The one against the Giants was severe fuck-up though – come on now, Bengie Molina??
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Well wasn’t there one against the Twins? Santana vs Hudson if I remember right.

You notice he looks like a smaller version of Matt Holliday?

I can see that...
But Huddy is so scrawny. And he’s hilarious. I don’t think Holliday looks like a fun person.

Not so fast — apparently he’s spent his rehab time bulking up. Hopefully the weight room doesn’t make him pull a FYF.
Bulking up for Huddy
is like slimming down for Kirstie Alley.

Holliday does look like a serious fellow, although the commercials they did last year were hilarious.

I just hope we get a decent sample size of post TJ surgery-Hudson before we drop 12M on his option when we could use that cash to get a bat.
I can agree with that.

Heres the word on Sanchez
The original word from the team was that he had shoulder discomfort, but expect MRI results to reveal the actual extent of the injury and begin to prepare for an extended stint with Sanchez. Rotation candidates include Sean West, Ryan Tucker, Brett Sinkbeil and Aaron Thompson.
Pinch hitter would be changed to match up against either, Gload is a lefty and Boner bats switch — so probably doesn’t make much difference
Thinking more of getting Soriano on Hanley and Cantu

Why does that count as an AB for Intante?
If Schafer’s safe, it’s not an AB, but because he gets thrown out, all of a sudden now it’s an AB?

From my friends face book page (he is a huge SF Giants fan)
ME:
My theory: Manny’s doctor is a Giants fan, he is angry that 1) the Giants suck, 2) that Manny didn’t sign with them, 3) that there is no possible way the Giants can win the division with Manny playing with the Dodgers. Solution: Prescribe Manny so illegal stuff. Sad thing is, the Giants still have no chance.
HIM:
Matthew, you are receiving a temporary ban from my Facebook wall. You will be able to write on my wall when Manny is able to play baseball again.

I missed the Braves’ starting line-up when I cut the game on, and when I saw Anderson come out 3rd, I about shat myself. Or, it was more like, I thought I was in the twilight zone for a minute.

Very good win today. But its kind of funny the people that dislikes Kotchman but this guy has one of the best OBP of anybody on the team i think only Chipper is in front of him in that category. He has one of the better AVG on the team, only 1 homer but its not like everybody on the team is doin much of that though. Where is these posters at that said how Kotchman should be platooned? This guy has been very valuable to us especially his defense, and if we will want to win more we will need him to come through like he did today, he could be the X factor on this team.
braves#1
I post here kind of regularly and I'm wondering....
Where are all these Kotchman haters you’re talking about? If there were any earlier in the season, I’m sure they hate no mo. And if they still do, they’re fools. The only time I’ve really seen him regularly is this year, but I like how he plays. I got a good impression of him from day 1.

well
there were alot of haters of his when we made the trade then when he stunk it up for us when he first got here last year and then they were bashin him in the offseason. I mean it wasn’t everybody bashin him but it was a good bit though. Maybe one reason was because people felt we should have gotten more so they just dont like him cause of that. But like Smoltz beard said no way he puts up the offensive numbers as Tex, that just wont happen, so if they thought that then they are idiots. And then it was that fanpost where somebody wanted Omar and Kotch to platoon and then that great post by royhobbs where he showed Kermit and Christian Bale Nodding there heads like in sarcasm after that guy wrote some stats down lol classic. Funniest thing i ever seen on here. But what im tryin to say is there was a good bit of Kotchman bashing especially last year when we got him and then even the offseason.
braves#1
There was actually someone who was upset because they thought we traded Tex specifically for Kotchman…and when Kotchman was performing poorly they ripped into him.
by Smoltz's Beard on May 7, 2009 8:56 PM EDT up reply actions
wow
I must have missed that or just tuned them out one. It was prolly some newbie. I mean obviously if we could have got alot we would have but this is the best offer in my opinion that was offered and Kotch is a solid young first baseman.
braves#1
I don’t think many people have been bashing Kotchman, except for the people that ignorantly believe him to replace Tex…which face it, just isn’t going to happen. His defense is just as good, so that’s not a problem…and I’ve been quietly hoping all along that he can put together a season like he did in 2007 where he went .296/.372/.467
Most people would have to be happy about that.

I LOVE Kotch compared to Tex
Sure. The Yankees can have that……dude. I hope he enjoys all the money. Watches strike 3 fly by with more focus than almost anyone I’ve ever seen.
