in Braves Game Recaps
Email
PrintSorry for the late game recap everyone, we had a terrible storm here in Columbia, SC and I've been without power from about 4:15 to just a couple minutes ago.
On to the game, Atlanta managed 13 hits but could only plate one run as Florida beat the Braves 3-1 to avoid the sweep.
The Braves scored their lone run in the first inning off Marlins starter Ricky Nolasco. Jose Constanza hit a double to right field to start the frame. A Martin Prado single advanced Constanza to third and put runners on the corners for Freddie Freeman. Freeman grounded into a double play, but Constanza scored on the play to give Atlanta an early 1-0 lead.
Florida tied the game up in the second inning against Tommy Hanson. Hanson walked Hanley Ramirez to start the inning. Ramirez then stole second and advanced to third on a fly ball from Gaby Sanchez. Mike Stanton singled to center field, scoring Ramirez and knotting the game at one.
The Marlins took the lead for good in the third inning. Omar Infante hit a lead-off single, and scored on a double to the right field wall from Greg Dobbs to make it a 2-1 game.
The scoring ended in the fifth inning, as Emilio Bonifacio hit a home run just inside the right field foul poll make it a 3-1 game in favor of Florida.
Nolasco gave up 12 hits, but Atlanta struggled to capitialize on them, going 2-11 with runners in scoring position.
Now, on to Washington, where Braves fans get to see new acquisition Michael Bourn in action.

Who really cares about a bunch of bitching about misspelling, or is it mispelling?
Nitpicking is a fault, not a virtue as well as ignorance is a fault. I’m being facetious in case you didn’t know.

It has nothing to do with spelling. It’s mispronounced. And no, I don’t really care. I just find the name “Heywood” comical for reasons I listed above. lol

Do you guys think we should start Bourn tomorrow, or bench him for Constanza?
Q: If not us, who? If not now, when? A: The Batman. And "when you least expect it."
Bourn has never even got a hit for us, Constanza is hitting .308, it feels like his OBP is .600, you really going to bench him for some new guy with no experience in ATL?
Q: If not us, who? If not now, when? A: The Batman. And "when you least expect it."
Constanzas been good?
I mean how many outs is he going to run into, and defensively LOL
He runs into outs because he’s being aggressive, that’s what we need. Not some play it safe, high percentage base runner like Oceans 11.
Q: If not us, who? If not now, when? A: The Batman. And "when you least expect it."
that and snitker was waiving him

I don't disagree
I’m just saying we cant fault Constanza just for listening to his coaches, as a rookie.
Chopmaster: my link is my dad who has watched the braves since I don’t know. he’s 56.
I do blame him for the second time today, and ultimately he has to be smarter than trying to go to third base if its not a sure thing. It was unnecessary
as a rookie
you listen to your coaches, if you run into an out because of them, that is on them, it is unfair to chastise him because of that play
Chopmaster: my link is my dad who has watched the braves since I don’t know. he’s 56.
27 years old and it was a dumb play
Little leaguers no better than to make the first out at third
again it doesn't matter his age
he finally made it to the show and wanted to make an impression by listening to the coaches. I don’t even see why this is an issue.
Chopmaster: my link is my dad who has watched the braves since I don’t know. he’s 56.
agreed
if he stops at 2nd, but it looks like he could’ve made it to third (and it would’ve looked like that since he’s fast as shit and it took a great throw to get him out) then he would’ve been blasted for not listening to the coaches or playing like he’s just happy to be there or whatever else people will find to bitch about… your third day in the show you listen to what the coaches are saying without exception

Constanza was a havock on the basepaths
In that he wrecked havock on our own scoring opportunities. combined with us wasting strikes by failing to bunt today lead to an awesome game experience
That call at 3rd was bogus
Usually, when a guy is running that hard, and makes it that close to the point where it really does look like he beats it, the ump will call him safe. That run scored would have shifted back the momentum of the game, imo.
Oh well. Can’t win them all.
Can’t wait for The Bourn Identity to give the Nats a taste of their own medicine.

13 hits, 1 run
I hope this is the last day we see a box score like this for a while. Pathetic. Tomorrow we are Bourn again tho! Ok, enough with the stupid puns.
meh Sunday Lineup and we got Bourn
I know we’re suppose to win every game, but relying on Constanza Gonzalez and Boscan to produce for you isnt a recipe for success
no excuse win your in a pennant race and making a playoff run. What about when this crap happens mon-sat? The time is upon us.
Then blame Fredi G for having an uncompetive lineup
And really the only two that sucked were Constanza (running into outs) Boscan and Gonzo.
You’re just a little overly-harsh on those guys. We lost because we didn’t do the little things. Move guys over, etc. As always.

Well, although the score was only three to one, that does mean that the Marlins did three times as better than the Braves team. At least the Braves get to have a brand new player to fix their shattered ego.

"Welcome to the show, Brandon Beachy. I think you’re going to stay a while."
Isn’t that the truth! That happened in game 2 of the Cincinnati series and just lingered. I would really love it for Freddi to bench Alex (aka he hits like an AL pitcher). Prado can play short starting now.
Let’s be honest, that 1 run that Hinkske, Prado, or Conrad or Constanza may cost us due to average defense is better than an 1) an Alex Gonzalez infield pop up with 1 out and runners on 1st & 3rd…with the pitcher coming up 2) same as sequence 1 but strikes out badly 3) rally killing/inning ending Alex Mierdalez gdip (the 9 hitter leads off next inning)…
Honestly, Alex is a gold glover on both sides of the plate and that’s not good. Sure, he just robbed some double a call up of their first major league hit but this guy is robbing the Braves’ a chance to score runs.

Tony, don’t worry about that. ATL is 6 games back in the NL East and still leads the WC by 3.5.
Pittsburgh is 7.5 back so it’s fine if they got swept by Philly, it’s all good. Atl’s next 3 are @Natinals (oops), @ the Mess, and @ the Fish…Philly’s next 3 are @Col, 4 games @ SF, and @ the poverty stricken Dodgers. Philly also plays the dbags in Aug 16th-18th. I think that the schedule plays well for the banged up Bravos…don’t you think? I can see Atlanta gaining in the division and wild card during this stretch.

The day we give David Ross the day off is the day we need clutch hits in his spots.
Fredi still doesn’t understand the concept of bunting someone over (as opposed to the guy striking out and/or popping out, never allowing anyone to advance in that situation).
Plus the ump screwed us in a call at 3rd base that really stung. He looked safe to me.

yeah i dont understand this one, again i think its more the players than Fredi’s call. Conrad trying to bunt was all types of stupid tho
All I’m saying is that he needs to abandon the hit and run. It only leads to double plays, for us.
Sacrifice an out with a bunt and get the guy to 2nd. Up the bunting practice. Whatever it takes.

The Padres scare the shit out of me. They have their cake as The Spoiler, and eat it, too. Their record means nothing to them. They’re out for blood.

Winning the series is awesome!
Wish we would have had the sweep, or to have even scored more than 1 run, but oh well, it’s Christmas morning all day tomorrow.
Dan Marino (13) and Steve Nash (13) will go down in history as being the greatest passers to never win the last game of the season.
Dude…football has been dead to me lately. Who did the Dolphins lose/add??

Sort of. The NFL is more (car) commercials than actual game. I’ll rarely see it go 2 minutes without a commercial break.

Football has always been a beer league. Basketball a cocktail league. Baseball is more a cigar league.
Yeah, and I’ve never liked beer. More of a White Russian kind of guy. With a cigar.
I mean, I followed the NFL at one point in time, I just think I outgrew it. I find it to be highly boring/monotonous. But people say this about various sports. To each their own.

Football is a lot bigger than baseball in this country. You’re fun to read though, keep it up :P

You can't ignore the dollars.
The NFL is king. It’s more in tune with the short-spurt, ADHD, commercial-friendly society we live in. The fantasy leagues are easier to manage, more addictive, and because of the NFL viewership packages the results are viewed in real-time.
Can we trust this page?

Upgraded Thigpen with Moore from Carolina.
Miami has done a great job, but whatever, Eagles still did more.

The biggest things, TBuzz, is that we got rid of Crowder and added Kevin Burnett
And he does this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJTVdgtGWdk&NR=1
There is no audio but it’s still very loud.
And we got Reggie Bush so it’s balls to the walls!

Thanks dude. I knew it was going to be a free-for-all. I’m meh on Reggie Bush, but as long as he’s making his true market value then he’s a great Josh Cribbs-type player…he needs to return kicks and get about 15-20 touches in the passing game. Running him consistently between the tackles is pointless and self-destructive.
Chad Henne, Tyler Thigpen, and Matt Moore. While I respect Thigpen from a fantasy point of view…the QB position for the Phins don’t have any playmakers.
I keep hearing no one will return kicks this year, but he should have a shot at punts :D
Thigpen is in Buffalo thank God. You should sign up to the Phinsider. They’re a lot of fun over there. I don’t think there’s a thread without everyone laughing their asses off at complete nonsense. And they really know their football.

Cograts on keeping Minor, picking up Bourn for peanuts (I still think he was the real prize OF) and most importantly
Welcome to the 10,000 loss club! (we got there first)
25.8/106 CURRENTLY HOT!!!
I remember that.
We got to 10,000 wins before 10,000 loses so I’m good :)
Dan Marino (13) and Steve Nash (13) will go down in history as being the greatest passers to never win the last game of the season.
how many will Bourn be stranded on 3rd?
can he steal home?
that leads to another question
can we have succeful bunt?
he probably could
and it may resort to that sometimes

What a LOBster fest…
Morton hit Heyward with an offspeed pitch. Early indication is that the baseball survived the impact.
sorta OT: If you were an Astros season ticket holder
why would you renew your tickets after they sold off their only 2 really good players? If you thought they were bad this year, I can’t imagine them being any better next year. They’re likely looking at back-to-back first overall draft picks, which will help a few years down the road, but for the next year or two, why would you be excited about Astros baseball?
Kinda like
watching a higher grade AAA ball. Rooting for the young guys to get better. Each win will be icing on the cake for awhile. They will have to go to games with different expectations.
That's the thing about baseball, no time clock. Anything is possible until the last out.
by BravesFaninAZ on Jul 31, 2011 9:55 PM EDT up reply actions
I mean, the season ticket holders have to take the good with the bad. It was nice when they had Biggio, Bags, and Berkman (as well as Oswalt, Clemens, and Pettitte). While I’m sure prices steadily rose in their heyday, they should reduce some. However, they accumulated quite a bit of talent (people throw around the fleecing word for no reason). Cosart, Oberholtzer, and Clemens will be in their rotation by 2013, and Singleton and Schafer will be their starting RF and CF in the years to come. George Springer is a guy that could rise quickly given his athletic ability.
Add in Brett Wallace, JA Happ, and Chris Johnson (sic?) they have good young talent to build around and not that long away. Carlos Lee and Wandy Rodriguez are high-priced pieces they must move, and I’m sure they’ll address it in the offseason.
The loss today is apparently
number 10000

not that that matters at all (or to the guys in the clubhouse, according to David Ross)…would be neat for the team to be way over .500 in franchise history, however
by LEastCoastBears on Jul 31, 2011 9:58 PM EDT up reply actions
It took a ridiculous run from 91 to now to even make it to 10k wins before 10k losses
but to me, it’s doesn’t mean much other than we’ve been playing baseball a really, really, really long time
We are above .500, though not way above.
It shouldn’t matter to anyone and in fact this is a good thing. It means we’ve been around a hell of a long time. Play enough baseball and you’ll get to 10,000 losses. Braves have only been playing baseball for 135 years….

may this be the end of Proctor?
Apparently, the Braves is going to keep Constanza around (as the 4th OF with Nate still out) and option a RP arm to make space for Bourne. I think everyone here would like to see Proctor gets DFA (I wouldn’t mind if he is just DLed) but I guess Varvaro is the odd man out.
by LEastCoastBears on Jul 31, 2011 10:02 PM EDT reply actions
at some point, Proctor will be gone
it’s either tomorrow, or when Moylan returns in a couple of weeks. I hope we cut our losses tomorrow
I would really like to see them DFA Proctor and keep Varvaro with the big club until Moylan is ready. That way, there will be a slot open on the 40-man roster when Moylan is activated.

Abreu and Schafer came off for Bourn.

It’s rough to sit through these games and not have someone that can’t hit a Ball?
It looks like we will be pulling for the Giants this week
3 with Arizona and 4 with Philly. TL2 would approve
@ScoutingtheSAL
CapitolAvenue Nice. Had a scout tell me Costanza was the worst defensive outfielder he had ever scouted.
Lulz but expect him in LF tomorrow
You can't stick a short, plump, bald guy in the outfield and expect anything from him.

My question:
Why did they not already make the roster move? Doesn’t that mean they just flew somebody out to Washington with every intention of demoting/cutting him?
Love your show, I’ll hang up and listen.
