Diory ha who knows if Wren trades Escobar he is an idiot, but then again he did bring Javy here on a great deal, and he did get JJ here on next to nothing. Never mind the man is brilliant and what ever he wants to do I am behind.

by drumzalicious on Jul 4, 2009 2:29 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Just got here, been motrcyling on this beautiful day!
But speaking of the Esco trade, I haven’t read the article, but I do know Bobby does not care for him, because of all he said when he benched him. I also know Chipper does not care for him because of something he said on a TV special with a few of the players. Chipper was ask which player would he least want to be stranded on an Island with,
he quickly said Yunel. When ask why, he said " he drives me crazy, talking all the time, and not listening when he needs to be!" Chipper and Bobby are joined at the hip, and think more old school, and Esco does not fit that mold.
I have been looking for him to be traded ever since the benching.
Not saying I like it or not…….

If Hanson gets this game screwed away from him I’m going to be pissed.

What can we expect, guy is coming off Tommy John and has a shitload of appearances
by MatM on Jul 4, 2009 3:16 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Gamecast has balls 2, 3, and 4 in the strike zone though.
by BullManUGA on Jul 4, 2009 3:17 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
3 was certainly a strike to me, but ball 4 was a ball
by MatM on Jul 4, 2009 3:18 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
2 and 4 look iffy. 1 was def a strike.

He got the grounder, but if found a hole, not much you can do there
by MatM on Jul 4, 2009 3:20 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
yup
because he hasn’t been great all year for us
by was385 on Jul 4, 2009 3:23 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I don’t care what he did yesterday or a week ago. Today he sucked balls. It’s his job not to suck.
by BullManUGA on Jul 4, 2009 3:24 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Forgive me for expecting a man getting paid millions of dollars to do his job. It would have been different if they had hit the balls he threw, but he walked 2 guys. That’s crap.
by BullManUGA on Jul 4, 2009 3:28 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I'm pretty sure he has done his job this season
getting knocked around is part of the game. If he did this all the time then you’d have a point, but he doesn’t, so you really dont.
by was385 on Jul 4, 2009 3:31 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I’m pretty sure I do. My point is that he was complete shit today. If you don’t believe me, look at his line.
by BullManUGA on Jul 4, 2009 3:32 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
No shit. That doesn’t change what I’m saying.
by BullManUGA on Jul 4, 2009 3:36 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
calm down buddy, it's a message board
btw, McCann failed miserably at his job today because he is payed a lot to hit and he is batting .000 today. MISERABLE!!!!
by was385 on Jul 4, 2009 3:42 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
He had one chance to hit. He played no innings in the field. You’re just throwing up dumb stuff now.

it’s those freaking 4 double plays we should have cashed on

Feeling the pain that all the other starters have felt
by drumzalicious on Jul 4, 2009 3:23 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Let’s trade for a reliever, so we don’t have to send Gonzo and Soriano out everyday
by MatM on Jul 4, 2009 3:23 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
no.
He isnt that stellar outside of ERA.
by drumzalicious on Jul 4, 2009 3:25 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I actually
said that before. But of course i got disagreement all around
by drumzalicious on Jul 4, 2009 3:24 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I agree...
they can’t keep using the same 4 relievers (Moylan, O’Flaherty, Sorian, & Gonzalez) almost everyday & expect them to stay sharp each time. Fatigue will set in.
by frozen rope on Jul 4, 2009 3:27 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Find a team that will take KJ for a Reliever.

What about letting Medlen come in in these tough spots, he rarely gets any work.
by HEYJUDE on Jul 4, 2009 3:26 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
or
we could send him down to continue develop as a starter. and then bring in a good reliever from somewhere.

How about we get a Reliever to go wit that Bat we're trading for
by drumzalicious on Jul 4, 2009 3:43 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Im not sure
That he would be that big of an upgrade. we need another shut em down type. It would have been nice to work a deal with Colorado for Street and Hawpe
by drumzalicious on Jul 4, 2009 3:47 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
He would help, might not be the final solution, but an upgrade, plus Medlen needs to get starts.
by MatM on Jul 4, 2009 3:50 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
He’s got a nice line, couldn’t hurt to give him a shot, he couldn’t be worse than what we have!

One of the problems with Bobby is that he don’t know when to pull the trigger on his pitchers…Year after year I watch him leave pitchers in too long and pull pitchers when he should leave them in….I guess if he don’t know by now, then he’ll never learn….Come on Bobby!!!!!
Roll Tide Roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by Sabanholic on Jul 4, 2009 7:57 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Yep. He’ll never learn. I remember hating how he used the bullpen from the very beginning of the streak. It’s not an accident that the Braves would get to the postseason every year than more often than not lose when somebody hit a homerun off a reliever late in some decisive game.
