Game 102 Recap: Braves 6, Marlins 3

PrintAhhhgh. That's the sound of a big sigh of relief, after a game in which it looked like the Braves wouldn't have enough to hold off the Marlins. But the Brian McCann show made a game of it. McCann broke out of his mini-slump early in the game with two doubles, but the big shot was in top of the tenth inning when he blasted a 3-run homerun to give the Braves the lead and the eventual win.
Starting pitcher Javier Vazquez had another brilliant start for which he will get another no-decision. He pitched into the eighth allowing only one-run through seven, then surrendering a homerun to the leadoff hitter in the eighth. Mike Gonzalez then came on and things got a bit stinky... again. His control was once again suspect -- walking one and allowing two hits. One of the hits, the one that tied the game, was an infield dribbler that Chipper couldn't do anything with. Gonzalez was visably miffed coming off the field -- you better believe that he's as hard on himself as any of us are on him.
It ocurred to me that the 2009 Mike Gonzalez is to Javier Vazquez as the 2007 Bob Wickman was to Tim Hudson. It seems like Gonzo blows half of Javy's starts.
The Braves batters struck out 15 times on the night. Vazquez K'ed 8, and after a mysterious non-cover of first by Kotchman that allowed a lead-off single, Rafael Soriano sturck out the side in the ninth.
Greg Norton struck out swinging in the ninth. I repeat, "he cannot catch up to even average fastballs." He should follow Jeff Bennett out the door.
Martin Prado was scratched before the game after being hit in the leg during batting practice. Yunel Escobar was removed in the second inning after being hit by a pitch. The new double-play combination of Diory Hernandez and Kelly Johnson was a bit suspect in the ninth inning.
McCann came up big with that homerun after they walked Chipper Jones. The more Mac does that, the better the pitches that Chipper will get to hit and his production may go up.

it will be ok.
think Kotchman should bat 2nd in that case then and have KJ lower in the lineup.

agreed.
im not talking about KJ’s offense. He was bad tonight but so were all the hitters outside of BMac and Kotchman. Im just saying his defense kills us.

Dont even think to compare KJ defense with Yunel. And basically you are with that statement you just said. Yunel defense doesn’t kill us it saves us alot of the times.

Great Rally to WIN Game!
BMac came through big time to get us the lead and the win.
Too bad Javy got no decision as well as he pitched.
It certainly was an emotional rollercoaster of a game with the lead, loss of the lead and come back to lead again and hold ’em in the 10th.
Recap of our PITCHING tonight:
Gotta love all those Ks in a row for Vazquez.
Vazquez: 
Gonzo: 
Soriano: 
Moylan: 0
.
Gotta play the DODGERS next – thankfully we go home for the next series.

They lost 2/3 from the Marlins and just got worked by the Cardinals and lost 2/3.
We should destroy Schmit tomorrow night. And DLowe and JJ can take Wolf and Billingsley.

Get rid of KJ already !
This just proves my point like most people that if they don’t dump him for a bullpen pitch before the deadline, then he will be non-tendered in the offseason. The team next year will be the one to watch hopefully Heyward can be with us by the All star break next season.
This season is hanging by a thread an after the remainder of this week an next you will either be really excited an thinking about the post season or simply turning your attention to various NFL training camps an getting ready for cooler weather and football season.
Go Braves !!
This is the make it or break it section in our schedule coming up !! We have to win no choice.

non-tendering KJ would be a big mistake – one that only a stupid GM would make.

No
Kelly is still a good player. Once his BABIP gets up to normal, he will be up to his career averages, which are above average for a 2nd baseman. And his defense this year is better than it has been previously.
Get Rid Of Ryan Church and Greg Norton. We Need a RF who bats right handed.

u both dont believe it and the only thing Ryan Church can do is strike out hit into a double play walk or get injured. Greg Norton just strikes out on Reagan era fastballs in clutch situations. I say start Infante in RF when he comes back or trade for Alex Rios, Nick Reimold, Michael Cuddyer, Josh Willingham, Cody Ross, Ryan Ludwick, Hunter Pence, Ryan Spilborghs or Matt Kemp. Anyone but Ryan Church he sucks and I never liked him since he took Escobar out at 2nd base in a dirty play on the final out of a 4 game sweep in an absolute blowout win.

i know when the trade deadline is its at 4 PM which is 11 hours away you think I live under a rock. I say trade for a righthanded bat in RF or start Infante when he comes back in mid-late August.

i know hes not but I think it’s the only positon to upgrade at with the improved play of GA in LF and Kotchman at 1B. I feel like RF needs to improve and Infante can play RF and if he hits anything near the .349 then we would be golden. We could have Church pinch hit vs righties and Diaz vs lefties. Then we could release Greg Norton which we should have done a while ago.

Also, we can’t just trade for other teams’ superstar OFers. We’d have to, you know, give them equal value in return.
One more thing, anyone that argues that Infante should play everyday should immediately be dismissed for not knowing anything about baseball players.

I know who Nolan Reimold is (a fantasy stud on one of my teams ever since he got the starting job). Baltimore will not trade him away. They will have Adam Jones, Reimold and the other guy (brain fart here) in the future – potentially the best OF in the majors.
KJ used to play LF, but he is a natural infielder.

Prado or KJ at 2nd isn’t that much of a difference, they both do a good job there. It’s at home plate where the big difference lies. I don’t think KJ is going to be much good hitting, leastways with Pendleton’s instruction. TP doesn’t seem to help some players,don’t know why. Chipper at 3rd is starting to worry me, he’s made how many? 13 errors? Also seems like he lets hits through that should be caught. I hope it’s just me, but I think he’s worried about getting injured,doesn’t extend himself much. Mac’s home run was a gamesaver.
Man, I’d really love to see a game where the Braves start Hernandez, Escobar, Infante, Prado, Johnson, Conrad, and Burke. The only non utility IF playing would be McCann behind the plate. It would be hilarious.
And then Kelly Johnson would get blamed for everything because he’s apparently infected all the stalls at Turner Field with AIDS.
Either that

Weird, huh, that he can’t turn double plays and then apparently does.

This write-up isn’t really fair to Gonzo. The runners who scored were Vazquez’ runners and the walk Gonzo gave up was of the intentional variety. He gave up a seeing-eye single an IBB and an IF hit. It isn’t like he was totally hapless out there.
Also, I am sick and tired of people bashing Kelly Johnson. Kelly just came off the DL and did nothing but go 5-10 with a triple, HR and I think a double or two. Then he has a game where he is 0-for and all of a sudden, he is the worst player in baseball. You people need to get real. Chipper Jones was 0-for last night with 3 strikeouts. I don’t hear you calling for his head.
All of you KJ haters have been silent ever since he got called up. He has one bad night at the plate, and you all start coming out of the woodwork. If you are going to bash the guy, fine. I have no right to stop you. But, you damned well had better be praising him when he hits well too.

And botched 2 straight Double Play Balls in the bottom of the 9th
That almost cost us the game…
by michaelcooksey on Jul 31, 2009 9:16 AM EDT up reply actions
First attempt
The first ball with no outs, all he had to do was tag the runner who was right in front of him and then throw to first. Instead he threw a bad pitch to 2nd which caused Diory to have to rush to make a throw to first. I blame Kelly because the easiest play is to tag the runner who is right in front of you and then make the short throw to 1st which is also easier to make because there isn’t a base runner coming at you and sliding. IMO
by michaelcooksey on Jul 31, 2009 9:34 AM EDT up reply actions
9 times out of 10, you will see a throw to 2nd in that situation. Otherwise, the runner can stop short, make you chase him, and waste your time to get the runner going to first.
Also, you only mentioned one messed up DP.
Let’s also fail to mention the turn on the DP that Kelly DID make in the 9th.

How they seem to forget about the good things he does. You know, like going 5-10 in the previous games. With a HR, 2 doubles, yada yada yada….
The bottom line is that, while Prado is still producing, which he still is, KJ is not going to have a shot to break through as the starter at 2B. I did hear somewhere that KJ came up at SS. Maybe we can put him there if Escobar is going to miss some games. Anything but Diory.
You know what else almost cost us the game? Yunel getting hurt. Chipper striking out 3 times. Diaz candy-ass arm. Diory being a complete waste of space.
Why don’t you talk about those things?

But then i’d also have to talk about Kelly going 0-4…I was simply referring to a few plays that happened in the bottom of the 9th when we would have had no chance to bat again if the Marlins had scored…
by michaelcooksey on Jul 31, 2009 10:14 AM EDT up reply actions
he was 0-4 because of a blown call at 1B in which he was actually safe…
Bottom line is that the marlins DIDN’T score, due in large part, to a great turn on a DP that KJ made.

I usually get upset with Bobby for pulling our starters too early. Its seems that he thinks once they get to 100 pitches, thats it. But last night, it was clear that Javy’s control was slipping in the 7th, so i was very surprised to see him come out in the 8th. Give that full 8th inning to Gonzo or Moylan, and we could have had an easier win. Or not.
"Ohhhh Shit."-Bobby Cox, 3/28/09
Anybody hear anything about Yunel or Prado?
I saw that Prado got hit by a liner during BP in the foot and obviously Yunel getting hit in the wrist area on that pitch. I work at a bar so I couldn’t listen to the sound.
The Braves site says Escobar x-rays negative and since Prado didn’t get hit squarely on the ankle, no x-rays were taken. Both have deep contusions and will be day to day right now. It said Prado was walking around the clubhouse after and both he and Escobar were heavily taped.
Oh and on a purely comical note:
KJ said HE wasn’t the one at bat when Prado got hit during BP.

I don’t hate KJ. Hell, I’m pulling for him, my point was simply that he gets no help from Terry Pendleton, like Jordan Schafer and Francouer didn’t either. Now before you say Francouer wouldn’t take instruction, just remember just before he got traded Bobby Cox took him aside and showed him videos of his hitting and the next night went out and I think went 2 for 3 with 2 rbi’s in his last game for Atlanta. Now I think Cox has been nice to Frenchy I personally would have sent him to AAA with Schafer. My point being that it seems that TP wants players who are slumping to fix themselves like Chipper does. The Braves aren’t going to make the playoffs with their streaky hitting.I mean considering the talent that is actually on this team they should be hitting as well or better than the Phillies
So what about last year when Kelly was a top 3 2B offensively? Do we blame TP for that too?
What about Brian McCann? Do we blame TP for all off that?
What about Yunel Escobar? Is his offense the way it is because of TP?
Blaming TP is old and unfair.

I would never say DFA his ass. I think a lot of people’s problems with him around here actually should be a problem with management. We let him rot in the lineup for way too long without doing something about it.

I haven’t been able to watch 2 of the games since KJ came back up, just this game I know he’s been doing better, kind of makes my point for me. That’s 2 weeks worth of stats, if you want to go by that, Frenchy’s going to end the year batting 300 with 30 HR’s for the damned Mets.
read the rest of my post…where i include his career stats and last season’s….and his 13 games in the minor leagues this season (post-injury).

I was talking about the team’s July stats not KJ’s. And why did he have to spend time down in the minors to get his head on straight? Why did they let him flounder for most of this year? It just bothers me when stuff like that happens. I’ve been a Braves fan since moving to SC in 1998 and I haven’t seen them like last year and this year. I really hope they keep it up I just think their hitting is inconsistent and I hope the shutout in Milwaukee is their last one. They are going to have to win a lot more than they’ve been lately to make the wild card.
And why did he have to spend time down in the minors to get his head on straight? Why did they let him flounder for most of this year
He was physically hurt, not mentally deficient. He received something like 4 cortizone shots!

They have one of the best records in baseball over the past month.

you are right. They are inconsistent. An offense without Frenchy will produce differently than an offense with Frenchy.
Now that Frenchy is consistently out of the lineup, our offense will consistently improve (and has).

Now, don’t blame Frenchy for the ups and downs the Braves have had this year,he didn’t put Chipper in that ,what was it? 23 ab slump or Macs eye probs or Schafer or anyone else except himself. KJ was slumping way before he got hurt. Have you ever had a cortisone shot? I have and they help with the pain and inflamation to be sure, but they don’t cure a bad joint,only rest can do that. By the way,even if it was Francouer’s fault why did they keep playing him? Like I said, I would have sent him down to AAA 1st part of June or got rid of him a lot sooner than they did.
I can blame frenchy for anything I want to. lol.
Of course, Frenchy had no direct involvement with Chipper slumping, or McCann slumping…but our offense was relying on Frenchy to produce – ESPECIALLY when other players were not. Not having Frenchy in the lineup has made a huge difference in this team, as it would ANY team.
Arguing that Frenchy should have been gone a lot sooner than he was (or sent to AAA or whatever you want) is a moot point, and I don’t think you will find any intelligent Braves fans who will disagree with that sentiment.

Yeah your right,but what pisses me off,not that I wish him ill will, is how well he doing for the damned Mets,why did they trade him to the Mets,they couldn’t find someone else who wanted him? Church isn’t that much of an improvement over Frenchy though. I never liked the damned Mets not ever since I lived in LA and watched the Dodgers beat them in the NLCS in 88,Though I have to admit I was more an Angel fan than a Dodger fan,still follow the Angels. Could care less about the Dodgers and hope the Braves not only sweep them but humiliate the steroid loving bastards. But Hey! That’s just my opinion.
