Open Thread 7/5: Braves at Nationals

Atlanta Braves at Washington Nationals, Jul 5, 2009 1:35 PM EDT


Derek Lowe is on the mound against our old friend Scott Olsen. He always pitches us pretty tough, though we usually are able to score against him. Let's hope the Braves take the rubber game and win the series.

Good god yes, this might be the best match ever

by yondaime4 on Jul 5, 2009 1:09 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

What’s ridiculous about it is that they have been playing for just under 5 hours, but have set the record for most games in Wimbledon history.

Poor Roddick. =/

That was the best match of his life, by far better than his US Open win.

“I lost in a match like this last year. I can tell you it hurts.”

Roddick: “But you have already won 5”

Federer: “it still hurt”

Right now I’m concerned I may not get the game.

Lineup per CR(DOB blog)

1. Nate McLouth CF
2. Martin Prado 2B
3. Chipper Jones 3B
4. Brian McCann C
5. Yunel Escobar SS
6. Garret Anderson LF
7. Matt Diaz RF
8. Casey Kotchman 1B
9. Derek Lowe P

Again no Frenchy. I feel like something could be up.

Anyways I do love the lineup.

whatever, Mac is still probably going to make the team. Lets just hope its not like last year where he was only put in for the last inning (thats if he was even put in)

by GoBravesNY on Jul 5, 2009 1:38 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I’m thinking McCann will ultimately be there, too, but how is Molina much more deserving than McCann? McCann has been in a slump as of late, but there shouldn’t be any question of his ability as a catcher.

by Gage23 on Jul 5, 2009 1:40 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

His defense. The game is in St. Louis. Which makes him more deserving. /sarcasm

by dlkinser86 on Jul 5, 2009 1:41 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

i know, McCann is clearly the best catcher, and the only thing Molina has is his defense. Everyone knows McCann should start, even ESPN put him as the starter

Doesn’t look like he’ll get a break.

I guess it depends on how many innings he plays…….

by dlkinser86 on Jul 5, 2009 1:44 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah, he should be the starter no doubt, but hard for him to win a popularity contest playing in ATL.

Question

anyone know how good Diaz’s arm is in RF

by drumzalicious on Jul 5, 2009 1:17 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

From what I’ve seen in his limited time his arm is not super strong but decently accurate. So I would say slighly below average velocity, slightly above average accuracy, and above average range/routes.

Anyone else agree?

He said he has his home run ball shoved in a sock in his locker until he gets back home with it. Asked about and commented on how the heat of Georgia is a bit different then the “dry heat” of Phoenix where he lives. Gave a shout out to his wife and kids (girl 2 months, son 2 yrs old). Seems like a real nice guy.

Question:

Lowe’s sinker is obviously not sinking. He’s got basically 2 pitches, so if his sinker is not working, it’s going to be a long day for us, short day for him (see score).

I am wondering, do they not see this in warm-ups? If your starter’s pitches are not doing what they are supposed to in warm-up, would they ever just not let him start the game – or is the rotation so set that he goes no matter what less an injury?

You know, I’m a harsh critic of GA’s lack of hustle, but lately, I think I’ve seen improvement. He’s been hustling down the line to first, he’s been doing a bit more work in the outfield (that may be a stretch).

Okay, 2 separate rumors from fannation.com

Braves in Market for shortstop

Bobby Cox is at wit’s end with shortstop Yunel Escobar, whose effort doesn’t always match his ability. It wouldn’t be shocking if the Braves shuffled shortstops before the All-Star break, perhaps adding a veteran such as the Astros’ Miguel Tejada, the A’s Orlando Cabrera or the Orioles’ Cesar Izturis, who is a couple of weeks away from getting back on the field after appendicitis.

Royals/Braves deal in works?

The Royals have tried to deal 33-year-old Jose Guillen and his righthanded bat, which would be attractive in a few places. Given the Dayton Moore-Braves relationship, there’s always the possibility that some kind of swap of outfielders (Jeff Francoeur is a Moore favorite) could be in the wings.

Where the hell do people come up with this stuff?

that’s pretty much the type of stuff they’ve been saying about Morgan.
He didn’t actually say that because it was a flyout but I think you see what I’m saying.

Just an idea...

Derek Lowe led the AL in saves in 2000. Though it was a while ago, and we are paying him a bunch of money to start, but we can switch Lowe and Medlen on the staff and use Lowe as a reliever. that would give us some flexibility with Gonzo and Soriano and there impending free agency, and our search for a right fielder.

Lowe hasn’t been able to get out of the 1st inning of late without giving up runs, so not sure how well that would work.

yes

a 92. I couldnt do anything right. My ball was breaking all the way across the lane, but I couldn’t get any Brooklyn love from the pins. My next game was a 173, so that was a nice rebound, but still…a 92.

A couple of weeks ago, my first game was a 184, I followed that up with a 189. The third game started off with 2 strikes, so I was thinking to myself “Damn, this is going to be a good night!” Well, i then left 2 frames open…then bowled a 9 on my first ball of the 5th frame, then I guttered the spare attempt…followed by a double-gutter in the 6th, a gutter then a 1-count in the 7th, and a gutter to start the 8th…it was aweful. I still ended up with a 116-something, but had to basically strike out to break 100.

Some days, no matter what you do it doesn’t click. Too much oil, no oil etc. Our house let’s school kids bowl on the lanes in between leagues and too cheap to dress the lanes after. Needless to say we get lanes in crap condition most of the time.

Most frustrating game ever for me: I bowled in No-Tap Tournament a couple months ago. All strikes until the 10th frame. First ball a X, then 2nd ball was a 8. I was soooo close to a perfect game No Tap. I ended up winning the Tournament with high score of 298, but since I’ll never bowl a real game that close it was a disappointing.

I like seeing pitchers throwing complete games… except when they are destroying us.

Nats have won 8 games all year against the NL East.
After today, 4 of those are against the Braves.
