Open Thread #138: Braves at Pirates

PrintSo much for aspiring for the sweep. With yesterday's embarrassing loss to the worst team in baseball, and the (fortunate) split in Philadelphia, the Atlanta Braves are clinging to a paltry 0.5 game lead in the NL East's first place position.
The good news is that if there was ever anyone up to the task to stop the losing, it's Tim Hudson. Nine times this year, Huddy's has taken the hill after a Braves loss, and the team has gone 7-2 in those scenarios. Furthermore, Huddy's pretty much had his way with the Pirates throughout his career, with 251 Buc-hitters stepping to the plate and hitting a woeful .214/.283/.326 and drawing only 14 unintentional walks against him. It gets even better in Pittsburgh, with Huddy's numbers jumping to a .186/.248/.232 clip of dominance in their house.
What I'd really like to see today is some sort of ridiculous hot streak beginning for the Braves, much like last year, but instead of it being Javier Vazquez, I'd really love to see Tim Hudson pitch some (real) complete games, starting tonight. No Braves pitcher this year has thrown a (real, 9.0IP) complete game this year. It would be great to see Huddy stop that trend tonight, of all times.
This is also the second day in a row that our opposing pitcher's profile picture is shown wearing the hat of another team, as for some people were shown Brian Burres wearing a Toronto Blue Jays hat yesterday.

Braves took early bp today. hit for an hour on the field
Hopefully Braves will figure out Pirates pitches tonight and we will get a lot of runs, although i prefer score 5 runs tonight and 5 tomorrow instead 15 tonight and 2 tomorrow.
Really, i´m not afraid tonight because of the RHP, but tomorrow it`s a LHP
Lineup from AJC
1. Infante 2B
2. Heyward RF
3. Prado 3B
4. Lee 1B
5. McCann C
6. Cabrera LF
7. Gonzalez SS
8. Ankiel CF
9. Hudson P
AJC posted the wrong lineup.
Switch McCann and Lee.

we really need this one
to stem the momentum of losses
OT:
on the front page of yahoo-mlb:
“Snap! Padres skein ends. Todd Hundley’s bat helped end a 10-game losing streak.
Tim Brown story .”
If that’s not a typo screw what Huddy does tonight Hundley is comeback player of the year.
What do you guys think about this? is Heyward’s rookie year actually better than Hank’s?

OK, so I missed the weekend's games to be with my family.
However, on the days where I have posted a picture of my new puppy, we have won (all three of them – who cares about small sample size? Not I.).
Therefore, here is a picture of my young Frankie. She will bring us the WINZ.

I just don’t know anymore. I doubt there is more production to be gotten out of that spot, regardless of which of the three we slot in.
Still, with Lee’s slump as bad as it is, what harm would there be in starting Freeman for a few days? If he doesn’t catch on, sit him.
especially with a righty on the mound….what can it hurt?

A man walked into a doctor’s office and asked the doctor to inspect his leg. The man said, “Here, put your ear to my knee.”
The doctor put his ear to the man’s knee and heard very faintly, “Come on, can I have five bucks, just five bucks?”
The doctor stepped back in horror, and the man said, “I know, but it gets worse. Put your ear to my shin.” The doctor put his ear to the man’s shin and heard very faintly, “Come on, can I have ten bucks, just ten bucks?”
Once again, the doctor stood up, perplexed. The man then said, “If that surprises you, put your ear to my ankle.” The doctor put his ear to the man’s ankle and heard faintly, “Come on, can I have twenty bucks, just twenty bucks?”
The doctor stood up and said, "Well, I can I make just one conclusion.
Your leg is broke in three places."
Doesn't matter
It’s all going to come down to the 6 finals games against the Phils either way….so I’ll worry once we get to those games

No, more like a nice burnt orange that would accent the couch and brighten the living room. Is that too much to ask? This man says “no.”

The thing is
Not hitting with runners on has been a problem FOR A LONG TIME this season… It’s finally catching up to us… And our offensive holes… are starting to really be seen… F-ing ESPN are going to be right unless they can turn it around… and no one wants that
Maybe those bone chips in his elbow will float into just the right spot where they somehow Rowengartner his arm.

So, who killed the season?
Was it Liberty/Wren’s failure to make a play for Dunn or Willingham in July? It’s hilarious that Atlanta commentators keep giving Wren credit for “giving Bobby the pieces he needs for a last run” when talking about Ankiel, Farnsworth, Gonzalez, Lee, and other assorted terrible spare parts.
Willingham’s been injured for over a month. Do you really regret not making that deal?

Typical road game.

Had the bases loaded 1 out back in the 6th
when it was still 0-0, but Lee grounded into a double play. A hit there, and I feel like we win the game, but alas, no dice.
Last Year in September...
“The Braves went on a 16-3 tear to make a magical run to the NL Wild Card before just coming up short.
But it didn’t start immediately.
That run was immediately preceded by a 3-game sweep by the lowly Reds, who were next to last in the NL Central when they swept the Braves.
Could a 3-game sweep by the Pirates cause a reprise of something similar to the 16-3 run?"
Also, the Braves went 2-6 to begin September 2009.

Good night everyone
Hopefully falling into second place will get us going and we’ll go on a tear. We went from last to first, we can definitely go from 0.5 back to first. Until tomorrow.
Sanchez flies out on the 1st pitch.
2 outs.

This Pisses Me Off!
But the over all attitude of people on here is just sickening!

Do you expect people to be upbeat and positive when the team loses 5 of 6, and 2 against a 100+ loss team?

Mike Stanton is the last hope. He’s been a homer machine in this park.

and who is that pitcher?
i think it´s a lefty
indeed he is...
but a lefty we have had a lot of luck against in the past

it doesnt matter....
dLowe vs a bat boy that will throw a 2 hit shutout…..
Jason Heyward is what Willis was talking about.....

Derek Lowe vs. Zach Duke.
Lowe is 9-0 in his career against the Pirates, and the Braves have historically destroyed Duke.
We’ll see what happens.
by AnEternalEnigma on Sep 7, 2010 10:24 PM EDT up reply actions
he´s a lefty...
and remember historically what happens with the lefty’s…..

historically is not today
hopefully, im wrong
maybe lowe pulls his hand out of his ass and uses it to pitch a good game first...
im skeptical of all this rest he’s been on.
.5 back
Come back… get them tomorrow, end the night .5 up
GO BRAVES!

For crying out loud, THERE’S 24 GAMES LEFT!!!

Amen, Amen, and Amen!!

Actually 23, but still…13 of those games are at home, and six more with the Phillies.
We got this.

It’ll be more fun letting ESPN enjoy the .5 lead for one ENTIRE night, and then watch the Braves rout the Bucs tomorrow.
