Final Game in the Cubs - Braves Series Postponed

PrintFrom the Braves PR office, tonight's rubber game in the Braves - Cubs series has been postponed:
Tonight's game between the Chicago Cubs and Atlanta Braves, scheduled for 7:10 p.m., has been postponed due to inclement weather. The game is re-scheduled for Monday, June 22 at 7:10 p.m.
We'll have to wait one more day for Nate McLouth's debut in a Braves' uniform. And we may have to wait until Sunday afternoon for Tommy Hanson's first major league start. An interesting side note to that possible game change is that Hanson is a merely a really good pitcher so far this year in day games, as opposed to night games where he is a super-human. Here are his day/night split stats from this year at Gwinnett:
Day Games: 3GS, 0-and-1, 3.18 ERA, .231 BAA
Night Games: 8GS, 3-and-2, 0.91 ERA, .146 BAA
I wonder if this will play a factor in how the Braves rearrange the rotation, either keeping Hanson pitching Saturday or moving him back to Monday.
The make-up game for the Cubs will be on an off-day when the team returns from Boston to start a homestand against the Yankees, Red Sox, and Phillies... a tough homestand that will be made tougher by no off-day and a Cubs team that may be able to pull itself together by then.

yea DOB just confirmed the whole rotation is moved back a day so hanson pitches Sunday. Next game will be Friday next week
That means Tommy should be pitching Friday in Baltimore. Hmm…

I am crossing my fingers for another rain out! LOL
People will come Ray. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again.
Somehow, I doubt they’d push all starters back again… but the weather in Atlanta is a little iffy right now, overcast skies, and what looks to be a good chance of rain. But considering the last Friday rain delay game that that happened (KK vs. Halladay), I wouldn’t mind it the results were similar tonight.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
A guy can hope right?

I’m hoping that you’re not as big of a loser in person as you are on here next weekend.

There is a very good chance that this will happen.

Like I couldn’t take them out prior to the game.

No, you can't.
Once you go down that road, there’s no turning back.
…or at least, that’s what I heard.

Well, I went ahead about told my office I’d probably be leaving work around 1pm next Friday…so we’ll see.

This day cannot get any better. Hanson pitching Sunday means Hanson pitching Friday in Baltimore which is fucking awesome.
The bright side...
is that I get to see JJ pitch tomorrow!
Ok, maybe that’s only a bright side for me…

me too
We’re taking my grandparents tonight for their first ever trip to Turner Field (my grandpa’s 87), and he was just saying the other day that he wished he could see Jurrjens pitch. I had told him it looked like Vazquez, so now he’ll be even more excited. It should be really fun tonight.
Although we were also going Saturday too because my wife gets tickets for doing the Baseball 101 thing Saturday morning. The Hanson debut was gonna be great to see, but oh well. I’ll root for him from the tv on Sunday.

Hey
And we get to be there for McLouth’s debut, too!

The stadium caught on fire when Mcgriff came and now a rain out when McGloven arrivves, maybe this is a good sign and he will start lighting up the scoreboard right away.
Proof that when posting while high or intoxicated can lead to some really funny posts
This just sucks. I had bought tickets for Saturday night’s game to see Hanson debut, and I’m coming down from Tennessee. Guess I’ll just spend the night and go again on Sunday…
Whew
This means I don’t have to pick up tickets for Saturday, and can enjoy that day without having to allocate time to driving to the park.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Also
Considering all the bullpen work with two days of extra innings, the rainout is a small rest day in disguise.

but the off day-now makeup date now sandwiched between the Red Sox and Yankees series might have been good for the bullpen.
"Ohhhh Shit."-Bobby Cox, 3/28/09
It's all good
I’m hoping that amongst Jurrjens, Hanson or Kawakami, one of them decides to go all Kyle Davies on the Yankees or Red Sox in their first outing against “the legends” and throws shutout ball to give the bullpen an unexpected day off. I can wish, right?

Rain check
Mark Bowman indicated that a ticket from last night’s game is good for any upcoming home game, yet the Braves ticket website says it’s only good for the rescheduled game. What’s been your experience? Can I show up at a Red Sox game with last night’s ticket and get in?

No
You have to take your ticket to the Future Games Ticket booth inside of Turner Field and talk with the reps there. Considering the hoopla they’re putting on the Red Sox and Yankees, I imagine those games are going to be blacked out, but you’ll probably be able to change your ticket to any equivalent value in the future, or make up the difference if you want to go with a “premium” (weekend) game.
Or you can just hold on to that ticket, and use it on June 22nd when the make up game is played.

Batting order and Nate's role
Soo I read somewhere that Nate the Great McLouth was set to bat in the 3 hole. I thought for sure we would use him in the leadoff spot and drop KJ down to 8th (where is a much better hitter).
What do you guys think? This is what it should look like with everyone healthy:
1. McLouth
2. Escobar
3. Jones
4. McCann
5. Anderson
6. Francoeur
7. Kotchman
8. Johnson
I know McLouth has power and drives in runs but he also can get on base and get around the pads much better than anyone else on the team. He hit in the leadoff spot for the Bucs in over 300 abs last year.

As soon as you switch Kelly and FYF in that order, I’ll jump on that bandwagon.
On the days Lowe, JJ and KK pitch, FYF should be hitting in the 9 hole, to make sure those guys get as many at-bats as possible.

As long as KJ is down in the order then i’m fine with it. I hate when hes at the top and stats show that he doesnt like it too much either. I know FYF is the most frustrating guy to watch play for the Braves, ever, but I like him at the 6 to break up the lefties.

I get your point, but is breaking up the lefties really worth it when time after time we see FYF come up with runners on base and fail?

Using FYF to break up the lefties? Let me take you through the mind of any other teams manager when looking at your proposed line-up from 3 on down to 6.
“Ok, 3 spot…Chipper. Shit.
4 spot, McCann…oh wait, he got glasses. Shit.
5 spot. Garrett Anderson? I thought he died or went to Japan or something. Another lefty, but I hear he’s a professional hitter or something.
6 spot, Francoeur?!?!?!? They still run him out there everyday?!?! Great, my pitcher can throw underhanded and save his arm some. Oh wait, he’s a righty, so that could be a problem…no, wait, he sucks donkey balls, so it doesn’t matter.”

I don't think we'll know it's definitive...
Until Kotch is back.
