Open Thread 9/26: Phillies at Braves

Philadelphia Phillies at Atlanta Braves, Sep 26, 2011 7:10 PM EDT


Randall Delgado takes on Cliff Lee in game one of the season ending series. First pitch is at 7:10 PM EDT. Braves lineup:

  1. Michael Bourn, CF
  2. Martin Prado, LF
  3. Chipper Jones, 3B
  4. Dan Uggla, 2B
  5. Freddie Freeman, 1B
  6. Brian McCann, C
  7. Matt Diaz, RF
  8. Alex Gonzalez
Good to see Gonzalez back in the lineup after missing a few games due to injury.

Go Braves!

And by the way, Bacardi Oakheart tastes awful… a rep brought it by the bar to try and get us to carry it.

Its called oak heart

because they actually press out the absorbed liquid in the wood of the barrel to get this stuff. Its the dreg of dregs. and tastes like your licking the bottom of a rum barrel. Except if you actually did you might get a splinter, taking your mind off the bad taste.

Braves just need to be patient

I know Cliff Lee throws a lot of strikes and the usual strategy is to attack him early, but he is on a pitch count, supposedly. A patient approach like what they did against Strasburg on Friday may just be what’s needed to get that elusive W.

Both have him substantially better than Diaz. So that this is even being debated is ridiculous. Neither the metrics or the eye test support Diaz over Heyward in any universe.

I never argued anything about Diaz, either way. I don’t think Heyward is great defensively. He’s good, and as I mentioned, he’s got range. But he’s not infallible defensively, as some think.

Im not so sure he is eligible.

Atleast not until the NLCS with possible implications. The Braves dont have a player on the 60 day DL to replace, nor was Delgado, or for that matter Teheran, on the 25 man roster on Aug 31st this season. Both were reassigned before the 31st and called back up a week or so into sept.

As per wikipedia and how I have always understood the rule...
To be eligible for a team’s playoff roster a player must be on any of the following: (a) the 25 man active roster, (b) the disabled list, © the bereavement list, or (d) the suspended list as of August 31 at midnight[citation needed]. The only exception is that a player on the 60-day disabled list may be replaced by another player from the team’s 40-man roster (as of August 31) who plays the same position (i.e. position player for position player, or pitcher for pitcher), with the approval of the commissioner of baseball.

Being eligible is one thing. I figure most people know that he IS eligible as is everyone in the org., thats besides the point. What I was focusing on is the fact that there wasnt a player on our roster on the 60 day DL. Which IS the rule.

Nevermind that tho, I forgot Moylan just went down for the season. Most likely on the 60 day DL.

Every member of the bullpen should be prepared to go multiple innings with the lead. The fact that Linebrink was warming is utterly bizarre to me. Off the top of my head, he’s the 5th or 6th best option out of the bullpen.

by pbrfan on Sep 26, 2011 8:21 PM EDT up reply actions  

Kimbrel
Venters
O’Flaherty
Sherrill (for lefties)
Varvaro (for righties)
Martinez/Medlen
Vizcaino

So if you need 1 out, Linebrink is actually the 9th best option

EOF pitches in a lot of high leverage situations (think tie games, late innings), so when he does give up a run (the few times), the team falls behind. When you factor in that the offense has sucked almost all year, they rarely come back from late deficits, so….EOF gets hung with the loss.

Only time we cheer is when the astros do something.

Jason Heyward homeruns make babies stop crying.. Jason Heyward homeruns also make babies, period.

If I were the PA guy, I'd so provide it

 "Attention Braves country. Ted Turner has just re-purchased the Braves, and is promising what he calls “flabergasting” sized playoff bonuses for everyone on the roster!"

It was a particularly small egg...thats why I asked.

That’s hyperbolic.

My dad taught me how to make meat for sloppy joes and my mom let me turn over hot dogs on the grill.

Freeman plays terrible defense.

Scoops don’t matter much at first base.

Also, he has no power.

If we can’t score 2 runs off of the Phillies pen… well… yeah.

Chipper bare handed to Freeman’s stretch = MONEY

DUE UP CHIPPER: CHIPPER JONES

If anyone knocks baseball I get upset, because I think it's a wonderful life.

My girlfriend when she heard "Chipper Jones"

“He’s still playing?? But isn’t the season almost over?” It’s amazing the things people pick up on their own…
