Open Thread 9/1: Braves vs. Mets, Freddie Freeman Debuts
New York Mets at Atlanta Braves, Sep 1, 2010 7:10 PM EDT
Freddie Freeman is making his somewhat long awaited Major League debut tonight against the Mets and Mike Pelfrey. The 20-year-old first basemen is the International League's Rookie of the Year and is in contention for the Minor League Player of the Year, so you can see why Bobby Cox is eager to see what he has in Freeman. Pelfrey has been very effective in his past four starts and Tommy Hanson has been anything but in his last two outings, so hopefully the Braves bats can keep it going and hit Pelfrey. They scored nine runs in the first two games and both starters for the Mets were left-handed, which is absolutely great to see. Alex Gonzalez is on the bench tonight and Omar Infante is moving over to shortstop, allowing Brooks Conrad to get the starting nod at second base. Personally, I think I would rather Prado at second and Conrad at third, but it is not too big of a deal.

Dissappointed I won't be there
I’ve seen both Hanson and Heyward’s debut in person… couldn’t make it for Minor or Freeman :(
Oh well, go FREDDIE!
Kawakami - 1, Halladay - 0
Score prediction..wild one here.
13-5. Hinske and Freeman go back to back and then Freeman tacks on another in his next AB.
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
So what position will Lee play the rest of the year if Freeman is now our starting 1st baseman ?
by BravesFan2010 on Sep 1, 2010 6:39 PM EDT up reply actions
He's
probably not going to be starting for the rest of the year. He’s just getting a start in his first game on the MLB roster.
I hate the Phillies so much...
Why did we even get Lee if we planned on calling up Freeman anyway ?

We’re going to have to do some genetic testing on you to splice the gene and distribute it next opening day in Atlanta.

I hear that Dibble could potentially take over Joe Simpson's spot in the Braves booth once he retires.

So I had this great idea for a drawing...
…then I got bored with it and gave up. It’s supposed to be a split-screen with Medlen watching the game on TV, calling Hanson (on the mound) to give him pointers during a game. Ross, who’s a little tired of all these trips to the mound, is irritated at Medlen.
I’m not satisfied with Medlen or Hanson, but I had some fun sketching Ross. I’ll probably do more with him in the near future. You get the unfinished right-side of the split screen, featuring an exasperated Ross.
Good luck tonight.
I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing Matt Cain.
Pretty
good. School’s started again, and BioChem and Tissue Biology are taking up all of my time. On the other hand, Music 101 and Introduction to Classic Civilization are pretty easy. You? How’s the radio gig going?
I hate the Phillies so much...
Heh. The “gig” continues. We’re beginning to turn our weary eyes to the October fund drive. I’m going to be doing a lot of traveling to report on Corridor X and the role of the petroleum industry on Alabama’s Gulf coast. On a lighter note, I just finished a piece on the rollout of Rawlings’ new batting helmets at the minor league level.
I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing Matt Cain.
Interesting...
No offense meant on the ‘gig’ thing. What is Corridor X (I suppose I could google it). I can’t listen to the broadcast right now (at the library), but what’s your take on them?
I hate the Phillies so much...
Corridor X is part of a transportation network designated by the federal government back in the ‘60s to encourage economic development in Appalachian states. When it’s finished, it will link Birmingham to Memphis. The Alabama portion has been under construction off-and-on for 30 years, and is now just a year or so from completion. So I’m headed that way to see if the promised economic boon has materialized.
My take on the new helmets? Yes, absolutely. But I’m not a baseball player; I’m not the guy the makers are trying to convince. The minor leaguers I spoke with were satisfied with the gear, but didn’t think they would carry the idea with them if they get called up to the majors. The trainer I interviewed is a staunch advocate.
I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing Matt Cain.
Since the ‘60s? Wow. I’ve actually never been to Alabama; is it actually going to serve a useful purpose, or is it just a public works project? On the helmets, I was talking earlier last week with a respiratory health specialist, who does lab research regarding neuron interaction from the brainstem to the muscles of breathing, who is also a baseball fan. He absolutely loves them and loves the progress the game is making in this regard compared to sports like football. I understand the allure of fashion in the MLB, but if I was there, I definitely opt for the safer option.
I hate the Phillies so much...
Well, that’s the question I’ll try to answer. I actually drove Corridor X about two years ago, and it has shortened the trip from Birmingham to Memphis. It appears to be a heavily-used route for commerce. I’ll focus on the towns through which it passes. Are they successful? Did the (putative) interstate help? I’ll try to find out.

They have one of those directional boom mikes that points across at the plate from behind home plate, and behind the home plate noise you can hear the home dugout.

I have it
even though I live in Atlanta, but even in Boone, NC it told me I was in the Braves market and thus blacked out from their games.
you can try p2p/streamtorrent
it will be a stream of the game about 30sec – 1minute late, and lower quality
I have tried but i haven’t ever been able to get it to work. I have a mac and have never found a streamtorrent version that i can download

Question
I’ve seen Heyward hit a ton of rockets right up the middle (4-irons as Chip says), but has he ever got one up a little bit and hit it over the fence in dead center? I feel like a few of his shots might’ve gone 450+ if they were elevated.
he's hitting a lot of balls low and away the opposite way, into line drives
it’s hard to lift balls low and away. the only HRs he has hit oppoway are, IIRC, located up and away or middle and away
Ankiel sucks!
Terrible trade!

See now I'm pissed about Matt Young not getting a call up
Frank Wren said that McLouth was on the Post Season roster is because of his defense and speed that he brings off the bench. Sounds like Matt Young IMO.
McLouth won't be on the post season roster with...
Ankiel, Diaz, Melky, Glaus, Conrad, Ross and Hinske.
Wren
said yesterday that he already was on it.
by drumzalicious on Sep 1, 2010 7:59 PM EDT up reply actions
Then he was misquoted...
you don’t submit a post season roster BEFORE the post season. And where would he fit? We’ve got no more than 14 spots for position players.
McCann, Ross (2)
Lee, Glaus, Infante, Conrad, Prado, Gonzalez (6)
Heyward, Melky, Hinske, Ankiel, Diaz (5)
So unless McLouth beats out Hinske or Ankiel, it’s between him and Hernandez. Hernandez would be more beneficial defensively since we’d already have Ankiel.
I like the Braves.

what do you guys feel about Freeman’s debut?
I thought he was pretty solid. 2 hard hit balls. Robbed on his first one.
pretty sweet pick on that one throw too

Reading the comments I found out that Freeman didn’t Heyward…first at bat HR. If he did that would have been three Braves in the last two years. Braves won though. Go Dodgers!!!
Atlanta Hawks=the team that drafted big $$$$$$$$$ instead of big men.
the Dodgers didnt go

The only pitch we know was thrown harder than Chapman’s 103.9: A 104.8-smokeball by Joel Zumaya vs Oakland in ’06 postseason. Big numbers!
Zumaya = Guy who allowed a 100 MPH HR to Chipper

It’s not the craziest idea I’ve heard from a TV analyst.
Hell, John Kruk predicted Randy Johnson would win 30 games one year.

Aaron Boone just made me want to punch my TV
Said the Phillies are probably the favorites for the World Series now. Since, you know, they were being no hit the other night and finally broke out offensively for 2 games. Blaming injuries, poor bullpen appearances, ect;
Kind of sounds like they have been a bad team to me.
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
Oh, wow, reading each others mind.
I didnt look to see if anyone said the same thing, my bad.

I’ve been hearing that they’ll take over first in a few days and Braves suck since we took over first. Phillies fans don’t see what’s in the standings.

Im tired of the pointing at injuries and blah blah blah
They havent won when they needed to and we have been more than steady since taking over first.

Ubaldo has horrid luck now. I guess he's paying for some of the good luck he had to start the season.
Either the BP blows his leads or is defense poops themselves.
