PrintAtlanta Braves at Washington Nationals, Sep 25, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
The Braves begin possibly the most important stretch of games of the season... against the worst team in baseball. Interesting that our most important games in these last few days are against such a non-contender... but for some reason that scares the living sh*t out of 98% of Braves fans.
Remember to vote in the Fan Confidence Poll (it was buried by several other posts after being posted this morning).

Do some yelling and screaming for me here tonight, I’m about to hit the road for the next couple of hours…
Will do, be careful!
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.
Im terrified for this game
Ah. This series is truly the biggest of the year. Thing is…every time we say its a big series, we either lose the series or get swept.

What makes you think...
they “overlooked” the Reds? I’m pretty sure these guys have played enough baseball to know any team can beat any other team on a given night. Just because we as fans may dismiss an opponent as not any good doesn’t mean the players do as well. I think they were doing their best to beat the Reds. Sometimes it doesn’t go your way. Hopefully this weekend will go the Braves’ way.

i dunno..
but 4 runs scored in 3 games against Micah Owings (5.21 ERA), Kip Wells (4.84 ERA), Bronson Arroyo (3.95 ERA) doesn’t seem like playoff baseball during the stretch run either..

thats what im kinda scared about
they have all these unknown guys and former Braves…and those are the guys who seem to always beat us. Willie Harris always kills us.
At least Nyger F’ing Morgan isnt playing. That guy always kills us.

Let's be honest
I look at their 3-4-5, and I’d much rather have that in the middle than our 3-4-5. (though I’d still like Escobar to be in the line-up somewhere).
It’s just the rest of the line-up that we have to our advantage.
I'm hoping we don't play down to the Nats level,
as we always seem to do!
Pretend they are the Cards! lol
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.
i guess tonights lineup has better balance. L/R/S/L/R/L/R/L Thats my only guess.

(I know, who hasn’t). Still, a team batting .300 against a guy should bode well, right?
Then why am I nervous?

i just have to say
regardless of what happens, this year has been a vast improvement….even having a chance at the playoffs this late in the season is just awesome
So how should they start the game…..take pitches or be aggressive?
"My God! Good news fans, the Braves are showing signs of life for the first time in weeks. As a matter of fact, they appear to be beating the crap out of each other."
take.
John Lannon is all location. If he isnt locating, he’s horrible and would be out of the game by the 4th inning.

Oh my god.
Really now? Neither Chipper or BMac do their jobs. Come on Esco.

Two outside pitches and Chipper fails to move the runner over and then McCann strikes out after a leadoff double. Not good pitching just bad hitting.
Is there a difference?

Maybe 2 will be enough….if Javy can go the distance.

he's on an extra days rest, so maybe.

Geez, What a catch!
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.
I’m thankful we have the lead – hope we can keep it.
I’m not intentionally being a “debbie downer” here, but I was worried about playing this team and tonight’s play isn’t doing a lot to calm my nerves.
Nice deflection Javy!

I'm trying out a new term
There’s Vidros, but if you Vidro on the first pitch, it has to be a Frenchy. Right?
Nah
it could be a McLouth/Prado/Chip/BMac/Esco/FUGA/Matty
Yeeeeeeah Chip
WOW An extra base hit from the old geezer
Well, well
what’s new… a man on second stranded.
Can't stay...but have been watching
I just want to tell you good luck. We’re all counting on you.
Cockchafer
Holliday mashed that ball at 3rd. Stewart threw him out at 1B sitting on his ass.

Lannan at 122 pitches and Joe said no action in their BP.
He’s coming back out unless his spot comes up to bat.
I'm sure it's been posted already
but Javy’s been awfully efficient… product of the less K’s tonight?
Cardinals w/ runners on 1st and 3rd, 2 outs...

2 guys were already warmed up in the pen
Lannan is done
Vazquez just cruisin

Do you know why Buster Olney's initials are BO, because he stinks
76 pitches for Javy.

He deserves a CGS! I did not spell out the word:)

77 pitches for Vazquez. At the very least, he’s showing why we could make some noise in the postseason.
Love the Nat’s D

Come one guys
We need to make this one come through

I can't enjoy the game
Just staring at the scoreboard half the time
Can someone explain it to me?
“Yunel Escobar singles to center, advances to second on SS Desmond’s throwing error”
WTF?
Man knows how to play
That’s for sure

It's not Nate's night Ugh

ugh.
Your team is probably not having a great night offensively if your leadoff man goes 0-5 with 2 K’’s
I do too!
He was pretty awesome when he was there, am I right?
Nate’s better at driving in runs than being a catalyst.
Nasty Nate has been sanitized tonight.
"My God! Good news fans, the Braves are showing signs of life for the first time in weeks. As a matter of fact, they appear to be beating the crap out of each other."

See: High school pep rallies
Carpenter strikes out Stewart
to end the 4th inning, stranding Helton and Torrealba.
Cards have 8, 9, 1 due up in the 5th.
HR Prado!!
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.
Prado, Chip, Heap due up
Cmon boys, get us at least one more!
MLB tv has decided to crap out on me with regards to this game. Switching to Col and Stl.
"My God! Good news fans, the Braves are showing signs of life for the first time in weeks. As a matter of fact, they appear to be beating the crap out of each other."
and I miss the HR….

um, good for Raffy
but he BETTER NOT be warming up
Javy close these game out quickly!
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.
Another 1,2,3 inning for Cook
His second straight. He might be settling down.
Going to the bottom of the 5th now.
Good K recovery for Javy

Good job Javy
This man should stay for next year, Make Kenshin the closer or whatever you gotta to do to keep him
Do you know why Buster Olney's initials are BO, because he stinks
Well would you look at these stats?
Line: 9.0 IP, 3 H, 1ER, 1 BB, 7 K
Season: 2.83 ERA, 213.0 IP, OppAvg .221, 228 SO.
That’s just the surface. Cy Javy right there.
What the Marlins do is irrelevant
We’re already ahead of in the standings, and if we don’t take 2 out of 3 from them (at least) our season’s over anyway.
Brave New October
But let’s cross that bridge once we get to it.
Lol
Javy’s last K:
Strike 1 (looking)
Strike 2 (looking)
Strike 3 (looking)
R Zimmerman struck out looking.
Tell Zimmerman
It’s not nice to stare.

1-0 going into the 6th.
"My God! Good news fans, the Braves are showing signs of life for the first time in weeks. As a matter of fact, they appear to be beating the crap out of each other."
Beat me to it.
Time for the cards to get some runs. They have Ryan, Pujols, Holliday due up in the 6th.
Jose Contreras coming in to replace Cook
Cook was on a strict pitch count tonight. Let’s see what Contreras has.
Pujols taking some ugly swings.
"My God! Good news fans, the Braves are showing signs of life for the first time in weeks. As a matter of fact, they appear to be beating the crap out of each other."
Rasmus strikes out swinging
Going to the bottom of the 6th now. 1-0.
There CAN’T be a 1-0 game in Coors, can there?
Chris Carpenter is pitching a damn fine game
Only run he gave up came after a double, sac bunt, and sac fly. He’s cruised since the first.
Top 7, now, bottom of the Cards’ line-up due up.
Mets take the lead!
"My God! Good news fans, the Braves are showing signs of life for the first time in weeks. As a matter of fact, they appear to be beating the crap out of each other."
2-0 to wright
"My God! Good news fans, the Braves are showing signs of life for the first time in weeks. As a matter of fact, they appear to be beating the crap out of each other."
3-0
"My God! Good news fans, the Braves are showing signs of life for the first time in weeks. As a matter of fact, they appear to be beating the crap out of each other."
3-2 after ball 4 for strike 1
"My God! Good news fans, the Braves are showing signs of life for the first time in weeks. As a matter of fact, they appear to be beating the crap out of each other."
Called strike that was VERY generous. High and inside.
"My God! Good news fans, the Braves are showing signs of life for the first time in weeks. As a matter of fact, they appear to be beating the crap out of each other."
Pop Up, 2 Out
"My God! Good news fans, the Braves are showing signs of life for the first time in weeks. As a matter of fact, they appear to be beating the crap out of each other."
David Wright can kiss my ass.
"My God! Good news fans, the Braves are showing signs of life for the first time in weeks. As a matter of fact, they appear to be beating the crap out of each other."
He can
but he won’t.
=)
Great win tonight! Javy Vaz is the man. Do not trade him unless you get a premier-hitting outfielder.

Saw a stat yesterday
saying that among non-closers, Rafael Betancourt was the best high-leverage pitcher in the game.
Can’t find the zone right now.

Come on, Phat Albert
"My God! Good news fans, the Braves are showing signs of life for the first time in weeks. As a matter of fact, they appear to be beating the crap out of each other."
Damn
Ryan Ks ahead of Pujols. He fouled off at least 3 pitches out of the strike zone, which would have been ball 4.
Pujols up, one on, one out.
Pujols gets a seeing eye single.
"My God! Good news fans, the Braves are showing signs of life for the first time in weeks. As a matter of fact, they appear to be beating the crap out of each other."
and limps down to first.
"My God! Good news fans, the Braves are showing signs of life for the first time in weeks. As a matter of fact, they appear to be beating the crap out of each other."
Vidro….
"My God! Good news fans, the Braves are showing signs of life for the first time in weeks. As a matter of fact, they appear to be beating the crap out of each other."
Cliff Lee got hammered tonight.
"My God! Good news fans, the Braves are showing signs of life for the first time in weeks. As a matter of fact, they appear to be beating the crap out of each other."
Is it just me or are Joe and Boog the only announcers that don’t sound like homers….
"My God! Good news fans, the Braves are showing signs of life for the first time in weeks. As a matter of fact, they appear to be beating the crap out of each other."
They do sound like homers
But they’re not as bad as a lot of others. We’re in a division with a ton of just poor overall announcers, but there’s better guys out there.
Nice inning by Miller
Gets the Rockies 1, 2, 3.
Not feeling too good about the 9th inning. Cards have Rasmus, Ludwick, and DeRosa due up, while Rockies have Helton, Tulo, and Hawpe.
We’ll see how this goes.
Interesting (annoying) fact
Cardinals do not have a BB tonight.
DeRosa the last hope for the Cards in the top of the 9th, now.
Everyone cross your fingers
Ryan Franklin (presumably) to face the heart of the Rockies’ order.
Consider me frightened.
Been watching Gameday
So it’s been like that all game. Although, he’s pinched a couple of pitchers as well.
The Rockies announcers were pissed last inning and rightfully so. What happened was on 3-0 it was low and away and whoever was up started tossed the bat and started taking off his shin guard as the ump called strike. So naturally the ump was pissed and hosed him the next close pitch which was 3-2.
