Braves Pound Padres 8-0 Behind Alex Gonzalez and Tim Hudson

in Braves Game Recaps
Email
PrintAfter a rough loss last night, the Braves came back well this afternoon both offensively and on the mound. Tim Hudson threw seven shutout innings and the Braves offense put eight runs across to officially give the Braves the best record in the National League.
Hudson looked great in his seven innings, allowing just five base runners and striking out four. He walked just one batter, which was great to see given his high walk total in comparison to his career average. Michael Dunn had trouble finding the zone and recorded just one out while walking three, but Peter Moylan got out of the jam by inducing a double play. Moylan finished off the game with a perfect ninth inning, capping off the shutout.
Alex Gonzalez and Melky Cabrera reached base four times a piece. Gonzalez had four hits, including a double, and two RBI. Cabrera hit two doubles and walked twice while scoring two runs. Jason Heyward added two hits and two RBI. Chipper Jones had a good day as well as he hit three singles with one resulting in an RBI.
Clayton Richard, on paper, should have given the Braves the most problems of any starter in the series. He didn't perform well and the Braves were able to get nine hits off of him in six innings. Ryan Webb put together another bad outing, just as he did in the series opener.
Despite Hudson's great performance, the Braves offense was what I liked most about today. They were able to score eight runs without the virtue of a long ball and every Braves starter reached base at least once. Martin Prado was the only starter not to get a hit, but he lead the bottom of the first off with a walk. Although it is in limited time, Alex Gonzalez has been very good for the Braves. He currently has a line of .370/.433/.519, substantially better than what they were getting from Yunel Escobar.
Up next is Derek Lowe (10-8, 4.39 ERA, 4.27 FIP, 4.07 xFIP) vs. Alejandro Sanabia (1-1, 2.12 ERA, 3.71 FIP, 3.86 xFIP) of the Florida Marlins. The Phillies are currently locked in a 0-0 tie and if they lose they will be eight games behind the Braves. The Mets play the Dodgers at 10:10, so we can all see where the Braves division lead stands later tonight.

I know we’ve been saying than Hudson will regress to his FIP, but with all these good starts, is it simply a case of he’s outperforming his FIP?

There was an article written on here about Hudson a month or so ago, speculating that something changed in his release point or his grip (or something like that), enabling him to induce more groundball outs, and thus why he is and will continue to outperform his FIP.

It's his cyborg arm.
Allows for massive amounts of ground balls and his pitches move so much now, it caused his walks to go up earlier in the year because he wasn’t used to it yet.
"Give him the heater Ricky."
FIP is horseshit
Hudson is an ace. Hudson has always been an ace. Hudson has a shot at the HOF.
How anybody could have watched baseball over the past decade and come to any other conclusion is beyond me. And these 40 year old virgins who keep coming up with these new convoluted mathematical formulas year after year – either under the bullshit “better mousetrap” philosophy or the even more bullshit “your eyes deceive you” philosophy – are all in desperate need of an ear punch.
FIP
isn’t horseshit. It’s just horseshit for Hudson.
And…

Great rebound
after a brutal loss yesterday…JHEY, Huddy, Melky, and gonzo look great
Jason Heyward...great guy
Great series, top 2 records in the NL fight it out for a split decision 2-1, Braves take the season series 4-2. The returns of Jurrjens, Heyward and Diaz have been great, the trade for Gonzalez has gone real well, now pay somebody to take McOut and bring back Blanco. Cabrera is looking good enough to start in CF, especially compared to who we are rumored to be interested in.
Heyward is pretty good
I thought McLouth is swinging the bat better since has been back. He has hit a few balls really hard and on the button that just found gloves and his only strike out came against Gregerson who is just filthy.
Jason Heyward wins at baseball.
I gave up on him a while back. Spring training was aweful, April, May, June July, I don’t have a clue what happened to him, but he has just lost it in my eyes. When he came to the plate last night in the 3rd inning, popped up the 1st pitch after Tommy had struggled some, it about made me sick. He seems like a great guy, the team loves him, I understand all that. He just can’t hit a baseball anymore, not to mention he refuses to throw the ball from CF. I am ready to move on, I understand some folks are not. He was bad in Sept, injured last August, was his last decent month in July ’09? I really wish he would wake up and be a .250 hitter, but I have 0 confidense that he will.
Heyward is pretty good
cards continuing to get one-hit into extra innings..better pull it out if they want a christmas gift.

Cody Ross
I don’t see the need in trading for Ross. I am afraid that the Braves could mess with the chemistry of the team if they make too many changes. I also think that McClouth is going to find a way to contribute with his bat, his speed and his defense.

depends on how much cody ross costs. i’m just saying, the marginal improvement may be worth it, clubhouse chemistry notwithstanding
The only player I would accept in a trade for Ross
would be McLouth.

by Jacob Peterson on Jul 22, 2010 5:20 PM EDT up reply actions
Actually, it's the opposite...
when all 3 are at their best, McLouth and Ross are 20/20 types with a .750-800 ops. Melky is closer to 10/10, and .700-750 if I’m not mistaken. Of course, that “at their best” part is the tricky bit.
Precisely.
Ross is having a poor year, and we all know about Nate. I think the way Melky has played since May makes him at least as good of an option as Ross… and we don’t have to give up anything or mess with the clubhouse atmosphere at all.

by his terrible April. He’s been better than Ross since the start of May, and I think he’s likely to be better for the rest of the season as well.

Ross' numbers are skewed by a horrible July...
if we’re playing that remove when they play poorly game.
I like you Sanchez.

Heh.
Well, shoot, I guess I like playing the “What have you done for me lately?” game.
I just like Melky and think he’ll do just fine. Sure, it’d be great if we could find a CF who is a big improvement, but Ross definitely isn’t a big improvement, regardless of what you think of him relative to Melky.

Melky’s 2010 line:
.262/.322/.359, 3HRs, 25RBI
Cody Ross’ 2010 line:
.275/.328/.408, 8HRs, 47RBI
Ross is also a righty all of the time and has better career numbers. If the price is Mike Dunn (or equal to him), I say we make the deal.

Additionally
It would let go of the ball more often.

Would they
do Cody Ross for Mike Dunn? I think that they general sentiment is that Cody Ross is not worth the price.

I don’t see the need in trading for Ross. I am afraid that the Braves could mess with the chemistry of the team if they make too many changes. I also think that McClouth is going to find a way to contribute with his bat, his speed and his defense.
You mean Hudson's wife?

And speaking of Mrs. Hudson, there was a hilarious bit about Joe spraying her with disinfectant at Scottish Rite last night on the game broadcast.

I know this is beating a dead horse but Huddy made an interesting comment after
the game today. He said that Gonzalez has been a breath of fresh air on the field and in the clubhouse.
Dear Jason Heyward
please have children soon so they can play for the Braves. And can we sign your lil bro Jacob?
Thanks,
TC

Jacob
Looked pretty damn cool in that Braves jersey in Anaheim last week.

Was he at the AS Game? I didn’t see him…don’t know what he looks like. But I’m sure anyone related to Jason would look awesome in a Braves jersey

anybody* wearing a braves jersey usually looks pretty awesome.

I had some unrealized hopes to see Roy Oswalt in one. Yummmmmm.
I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing Matt Cain.
He'll consent to a trade here for...
A helicopter
£ 100,000
A complete set of steak knives (in the presentation box)

Talked to JHey before the game on their little platform. He brought Jacob along and introduced him.

I know this is the way Bobby normally operates but...
Seriously, is there any reason for KK or Chavez to even show up at the stadium at this point? If you can’t get into the game when there’s an EIGHT RUN lead it’s not entirely clear if you’re ever getting in.
I want KKs job
$8MM a year to chill in the bullpen with Moylan and Wags.

I would be worried
If the team scores too much and Wags gets mad, he might throw me into the stands or something. Or set me on fire.
Clemson/Atlanta Braves/Carolina Panthers fan, and inventor of the iChop, 5/31/10
I love this team.
Just proving how good we actually are. Losing a heartbreaker and instead of struggling today we come out and beat the shit out of the Fathers.
The base paths belonged to me, the runner. The rules gave me the right. I always went into a bag full speed, feet first. I had sharp spikes on my shoes. If the baseman stood where he had no business to be and got hurt, that was his fault. -Ty Cobb
Here is my mental image of this.
The Padres came in today to deliver the final punch and as they throw it, the Braves look them straight in the face and say: “What the hell are looking at!” The Braves punch them square in the face and say: Learn your place, you bastards!"
"Lololololololololololololol" - Tim Hudson
The Braves are mentally tough and focused.
These things are important, if unmeasurable.

According to Mitch Williams (I know, I know...)
The Phills and Mets are each “Mayday Teams” right now.
I find this idea very amusing.
"FIP isn’t horseshit. It’s just horseshit for Hudson." - frozendesert
While the Braves face the Marlins this weekend, the Phillies will face the Rockies.
Friday:
Roy Halladay / Aaron Cook
Saturday:
Kyle Kendrick / Ubaldo Jimenez
Sunday:
J.A. Happ / Jeff Francis
I say the Phillies MAYBE get one win. I like the Braves’ chances in Florida of winning at least 2 of 3.
The birth of Jason Heyward was God’s punishment for the sins of the people in New York and Philly.
Seeing Johnson on the mound today
Filled my heart with joy.

Mets lost
Oh I still remember that Bleacher report by that Mets fan saying that Beltran was the key and the reason the Mets were the team to beat. We’ll they got off to a crappy start and now are 7.5 games behind, while Philly has overtaken them by .5 game.
"Lololololololololololololol" - Tim Hudson
Well that’s what you get for giving anything Bleacher Report puts out more than 2 seconds of your time.

Carlos Beltran
Has a lot in common with Darryl Strawberry: once key Mets players who are now finito. Reyes is close behind.
It must suck to spend half the year going “You just WAIT until our A Team gets back!” and then having them turn into Barney and Gomer when they do.
