Open Thread 8/29: Braves @ Phillies

PrintAtlanta Braves at Philadelphia Phillies, Aug 29, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
Derek Low will take the mound for Atlanta tonight and he's coming off of two less than stellar starts. His last time out he was relieved after allowing 3 runs in 5 innings, which was a major improvement over the game before where had allowed 8 runs in just 3.2 innings. But, before those 2 games, he had a streak of 7 straight quality starts, so hopefully he can return to form.
Opposing D-Low will be Philadelphia's ace and major trade aquisition, Cliff Lee. Lee has been amazing for the Phillies, racking up wins in all 5 of his starts for them to go with a tiny 0.68 ERA. Lee's dominant pitching doesn't make for a good matchup with Atlanta's sputtering offense, so the Phillies clearly have an advantage heading into the game. But, anything can happen in, as Brian McCann calls it, the high school fild that is Citzen's Bank Park.

Baseball is a game where a curve is an optical illusion, a screwball can be a pitch or a person, stealing is legal and you can spit anywhere you like except in the umpire's eye or on the ball.

Chip

Escy
GA
Rochey

# of the day: .407
Chip’s career OBP – good for 22nd place on all-time list.
Heavily influenced by 1324 career walks (34th all-time) in only 2136 games (154th).
Diaz left on base! Ugh
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.
GA with a hit!

Roachy with a double!
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.
This is why GA needs to be hitting lower in the order with guys ON base, not ahead of them. It takes a triple to get him in from first.
YAY! Good inning!
Seriously? F this team. Why is Reid Gorecki playing? Why do we no longer get hits with RISP?

I should really do this in a fan post.
but
Do NOT resign Hudson. Thats 11 mil.
Soriano makes something like 6.5 mil this year and Gonzo 3.75
Garrett is coming off the books as well, thats 2.5 mil, total of 13.5 mil open
Sign Soriano at 8 mil base salary plus incentives up to 11 mil. Gonzo 7 mil up to 10 mil.
Thats 10.5 mil extra but it would be worth it IMO.

"With great power comes great responsibility"- Ben Parker
That’s probably the most expensive thing we can do, between Lowe’s contract and Hudson’s option. Lowe would be paid as one of the top closers in the league…and he probably wouldn’t be one.
I’m hoping that one of Gonzo/Soriano can be retained for about 4.5-5 million per. Probably unrealistic, but it does look like there’s plenty of relief pitching available this offseason.
I think it’s a mutual option, but I know there is one

Nice!
Brad Hawpe flies out to LF with the bases loaded to end the top of the 6th. Middle of the Giants lineup (even tho its not much) coming up to bat.

Hey, instead of a hitting fool graphic….how bout a Captain Caveman graphic?

Of course, we will…..

In all seriousness
Matt Diaz might be the best player nobody’s ever heard of. He’s fighting Ryan Zimmerman for that honor lately.
Might I ask why?
I don’t really have a problem with the guy-he plays for a divional rival (well, kind of…) but he’s only got a .787 career OPS against Atlanta…hasn’t really done much against us that’s memorable.
see… i live in northern virginia, so i go to a fair amount of games at nats park…
i was there for this one:
http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2008_03_30_atlmlb_wasmlb_1
and a couple others where he’s done some memorable damage… and the thing that annoys me the most is the entire city thinks he’s pretty much the best hitter in the league… which is even more annoying because i don’t think he’s spent a season above .300
He just got some player of the night award on BBTN.

Honestly if this stays like this... we win.. rockies lose...
3.5 back with 33 games left…
WE CAN DO THAT!
Someone needs to sneak into the Philly clubhouse and clip Ryan Howard in the back of the knees before tomorrow night.

Good deal!

Re: to Chopper, not to intentionally hurting Howard…..

Falcons leading by 3 with 9 seconds on the clock! Great night for the Atl teams and this fan!

To bad the Falcons wont be able to hang with the Panthers
only joking should be a good race in the NFC South
I agree, it’s going to be a good race. Just thankful the Falcons might actually be competitive in the division!

Is it possible the games all go our way tonight? Would be nice!
