Awesome show.
Awesome expression: http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/teams/atl/photos
April 19th, 2010 at 1:42 am
An update on the IF’s show would be interesting- what they were, where we are now (I am too lazy right now but I will go look it up ). I know you are getting to them, especially Glaus – injury, can he play 1base, etc – … Just thought of that since you mention several times this show its the unknown, the volatility that makes us so nervous. also makes it exciting…Good show.
April 19th, 2010 at 2:12 am
also can I just add that I am extremely jealous of Ham and you guys hanging out in the spring in ATL. It effing snowed in Tokyo two days ago. Snowed!
April 19th, 2010 at 3:30 am
Good show guys, Infante for CF sounds really good to me but another one of the platoon needs to turn it around. I’ll be at the game on Friday at Citi field, Go BRAVES!
April 19th, 2010 at 7:36 pm
Great show! I’m excited about this week’s baseball (I know, I’m setting myself up for heartbreak). I thought we heard somewhere that Glaus started really slow and then had his best year ever. I’m not ready to give up on him either but I don’t mind he and Melky/McLouth sitting out a game or two if they can’t get it together. I like the concept of putting the guys hitting in the top of the line up…all of them. Maybe it’s unconventional baseball but I counted 3 or 4 games when we scored in more than 3 innings. So we’re not scoring every inning or even most innings anyway. Why not stack the innings we do score in with run support and score big instead of 1 or 2 runs. Maybe that doesn’t make sense but it seems logical to me (says the lady who talks to children all day).
April 19th, 2010 at 7:39 pm
Infante
Prado
Chipper
Heyward
McCann
Hinske
Diaz
Escobar
pitcher
Flip flop Diaz and Escobar and obviously if McLouth is in put him in 8th hole (which made me laugh everytime you guys said it cause it sounds like something else) and move Escobar up. Same with Glaus. I put Prado second although I think he would be great as leadoff.
April 19th, 2010 at 9:09 pm
“You show up to the ballpark everyday and you don’t feel like you’re needed to win ball games.” Jeff Francouer in reference to Atlanta. Then he said in NY he felt needed and was able to relax. Well that all makes perfect sence.
April 19th, 2010 at 10:44 pm
Interesting article. http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/the_sporting_blog/entry/view/63257/its_too_early_to_worry_about_where_jason_heyward_hits
Now let’s win the opener tomorrow. Seriously – Halladay goes in game 2, let’s get game 1 and start this thing off right. I’m so wound up already!!!!!!!
April 20th, 2010 at 6:30 am
Having trouble updating the podcast in iTunes. . . . Can’t wait for tonight’s matchup!

Hey Danny – what trouble are you having? Have you tried to unsubscribe and then re-subscribe? Are you on a Mac or a PC?
April 20th, 2010 at 8:04 am
Anybody know an anti-rain dance? Workin’ girl can’t get to a daytime game 1 of a doubleheader so much. NO RAIN. Remember, God, you love baseball and you love Hamilton.
April 20th, 2010 at 8:43 am
Steve, I was able to download it from my iPhone. Not sure if that helps.

One day Jeff F’s comments won’t surprise me any more. You guys have fun at the game tonight! Too bad you don’t all have matching ABT t-shirts to “represent”. Two words…chest paint. In other news, I got carded tonight at the grocery store. I freakin LOVE when that happens!
April 20th, 2010 at 6:50 pm
You don’t look old enough to by FOOD? Damn.

ABT Fellas have GREAT seats for the game tonight…I can see ‘em all and I’m jealous! Happy tweeting, Curt Hamilton and Steve…Go Braves!!
April 20th, 2010 at 7:50 pm
Strike zone? What strike zone?
I wish they’d just go with computers.
April 20th, 2010 at 8:43 pm
I hate Utley, Utterly.
April 20th, 2010 at 9:23 pm
Still do.
April 20th, 2010 at 9:25 pm
Whew!
April 20th, 2010 at 9:34 pm
Ok, people, you take it from here..I’m out.
April 20th, 2010 at 9:35 pm
The Braves love making bad pitchers look good.
April 20th, 2010 at 9:58 pm
Look at all those empty seats. I’m done with Glaus. They can make him the ball boy for all I care.
April 20th, 2010 at 10:08 pm
It’s about damn time! I love the boo birds!
April 20th, 2010 at 10:10 pm
Lovin me some Heyward!!!!!!
April 20th, 2010 at 10:10 pm

April 20th, 2010 at 10:11 pm
I hope all three ABT hosts ripped off their shirts and did the bellydance!
April 20th, 2010 at 10:12 pm
Oh it feels good against the Phils.
April 20th, 2010 at 10:23 pm
Un freakin believable!!!!!
April 20th, 2010 at 10:26 pm
I’ll be dipped in S**T!!

Uh, not really…it’s just an expression.
April 20th, 2010 at 10:27 pm
This team may kill me before the season ends.
April 20th, 2010 at 10:32 pm
I have never made a better decision by choosing to skip my chemistry homework and watch the braves.
April 20th, 2010 at 10:34 pm
How about it? GO BRAVES!!! Thank you J-Hey kid, McClouth, & Glaus!!!!
April 20th, 2010 at 10:38 pm
I’m proud of you Wiley…you are wise beyond your years. I’m afraid Bub was not so wise. Wahooo! I think I may be rethinking about making Glaus the ball boy. Time will tell. And McSloutch no more (crosses fingers)!!!! Love the silent treatment!
April 20th, 2010 at 10:45 pm
The “Silent Treatment” was really special. There has been a lot said about (Wiley, are you still there?) CHEMISTRY! Props to Wiley and the Braves!
April 20th, 2010 at 10:46 pm
No, Bub was just as wise!!!! It just took me three forevers to get to the computer.
UN
FREAKING
BELIEVABLE!!!
No words for that. Best game since… gosh, when has there been a better one? 3 homers in the last 4 at bats????? To take a tie for first place??????
April 20th, 2010 at 10:59 pm
Bravisto Mens tied for 1st!
April 20th, 2010 at 11:07 pm
Credit to the bullpen for their good work once again.
April 20th, 2010 at 11:19 pm
I second that..Tommy pitched a good game but there was no point in keeping him in beyond reason. Even great pitiching will not win without run support. Finally, late in the game the Braves came through..
April 20th, 2010 at 11:19 pm
Amazing game, but Matt Diaz needs to only play against LHP.
April 20th, 2010 at 11:38 pm
Gotta move Heyward behind McCann. Make Glaus fight. Make him angry.
April 20th, 2010 at 11:43 pm
What a game to be at with the whole ABT crew. And my wife had us some amazing seats to take it all in. Just a crazy game. I think we are all hoarse.
April 20th, 2010 at 11:53 pm
As we mentioned on the show, we were all there tonight: Hammy, Curt, Scott, Frank and I. In amazing seats, no less. And we were utterly, completely defeated as the night went on. Just a dismal showing. From the ump’s uneven strike zone, to the Glaus DP, etc. And then that 9th and 10th unfold as it did. I’m still stunned. Glaus and McLouth being so integral and Heyward being at the center of it all. It was such a wonderful, euphoric evening. Could this team be full of this kind of magic? Does this get McLouth turned around? Time will tell, but such an amazing and unlikely win gives me a new sense of optimism about this team. And I love the continued show of chemistry with the dugout stunt they pulled on McLouth at the end (despite feeling cheated to not get the on-field celebration). What a night. What a night. What a night.
April 21st, 2010 at 12:46 am
Bullpen WHIP:
Medlen …1.09
Chavez… 0.63
Wagner…1.00
Saito …….0.40
Moylan…. 0.71
Venters …0.67
EOF……….0.90
That’s ridiculous. That’s got to lead the majors by a long shot.
April 21st, 2010 at 7:31 am
Could barely get to sleep I was so excited. I wondered if ya’ll felt slighted by the prank. I expected them to come back out, line up, shake hands, etc. Did you guys know what was going on? Could you see the empty dugout from your totally rad seats?
April 21st, 2010 at 8:46 am
watched it myself, then with my son, then with my daughter! What a game for ABT to enjoy. A blessing from the baseball gods.
By the way, Smoltz sounds just like Hammy sometimes.
April 21st, 2010 at 9:04 am
Hammy, Will, re: LOST? Who’s the good guy? That’s all I want to know. Is that too much to ask?
April 21st, 2010 at 9:12 am
Leah – we could not see into the dugout from our angle. And we (well, I anyway) had no idea it was going on until Nate rounded 3rd and I realized the team wasn’t meeting him at the plate (I was too busy screaming and high fiving to notice at first). They showed the scene inside the tunnel up on the big screen. LOVE what it says about the chemistry on the team, but, to your point, I felt robbed of the on field celebration. But it’s nit picking. What a win!!!! I’m still so crazy jazzed. I watched all the homeruns again with my son this morning. Unbelievable.
April 21st, 2010 at 10:12 am
It’s pretty sweet to hear Joe Simpson’s audio of the homers this morning.
April 21st, 2010 at 10:30 am
Here’s my prediction for tonight’s line-up:
Nate
Prado
Chipper
McCann
Glaus
Heyward
Esco
Melky
Hudson
April 21st, 2010 at 10:50 am
Curtis – agreed. I’ve watched the video of all 3 homers countless times this morning. I also stayed up to watch the midnight Baseball Tonight last night because I was too wound up to go to bed. I am totally wrecked this morning and my voice is a travesty after all the screaming. What a game!
April 21st, 2010 at 11:27 am
I have a feeling Hinske might start.
April 21st, 2010 at 11:33 am
I know I’m certifiable but I’m excited about tonight. Somebody post some rediculous stats to bring me back down to reality Quick! My 9 year old is home sick today. I’m doing what every good mother would do and making him watch the last 3 innings of the game. He keeps looking at me and asking “do we win”? He thinks I’m punishing him. Bottom of the 9th coming up!
April 21st, 2010 at 11:47 am
There’s nothing wrong with being excited about tonight. Halladay has lost 76 times in his career. And that’s not counting no-decisions his team lost. Last year, he lost 10 times. He allows a hit or a walk per inning, same as Tim Hudson.
I think the Phillies have to be favored because there’s a decent chance we’ll never see their bullpen. And because their offense is relentless. But it’s not impossible to win. Accuscore gives us a 47% chance.
Momentum is on our side. Pressure is completely on Philly, since they’ve lost 4 straight and they know they are supposed to win today. Their hitters might start pressing if Hudson gives ‘em the business early on, and especially if Atlanta sneaks a run across early.
I predict a 4-2 Phillies win, but I feel plenty justified in hoping for better. You’re not certifiable for THIS reason.
April 21st, 2010 at 11:50 am
149 – 78 Hudson’s career.
151 – 76 Halladay’s career.
April 21st, 2010 at 12:03 pm
And what pray tell makes me certifiable mister? Wait, nevermind. Don’t answer that. Your prediction helps a little but I wonder if we can’t have two miracle nights in a row. My favorite part rewatching the game is Nate’s face when he rounded 1st and then him clapping his hands when he headed down the dugout steps. My favorite game EVER!
April 21st, 2010 at 12:34 pm
Are you guys interested in this WPA stat that Talking Chop has been posting a lot? If you don’t know, it calculates the difference in your chances of winning the game before and after each at bat. Jason Heyward leads the majors in increasing the team’s chance to win per at bat. Leads. the. MAJOR. LEAGUES. In increasing his team’s chance to win. What a rookie.
http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=y&type=3&season=2010&month=0
April 21st, 2010 at 12:40 pm
And even after last night, Troy Glaus trails all major league first basemen in WPA. He’s done more per at bat to subtract from his team’s chance of winning than any other first baseman. Booooooo.
April 21st, 2010 at 2:17 pm
Leah, to bring you back down to earth (stolen from a DOB tweet), the Braves are batting .215 over their last eight games. The end of game heroics are not sustainable. We gots to hit more.
April 21st, 2010 at 2:53 pm
Or, put another way: If our pitching has allowed us to win games while hitting .215, imagine how good we’ll be when we hit .280,
(Actually, what I’m hoping for, of course, is for us to win at the same clip when the late-inning heroics come back down to earth at the same time our hitting comes… up to earth. Bad as we are, there’s no way we’ll keep hitting .215. If this team’s got nothing else, it’s got batting average.)
April 21st, 2010 at 3:40 pm
And imagine if we can hit and still take all these walks. We’ll blow people out. It was shocking to see the Phils averages posted and then see ours. Yikes.
April 21st, 2010 at 4:21 pm
Curt – it’s so true. If Nate just gets back to being the career .260 hitter that he is and Glaus to his career .255 average this team gets really dangerous. And I believe the walks are here to stay. Heyward demands it and so it shall be.
April 21st, 2010 at 5:08 pm
Heard a guy say today Prado is best #2 guy out there and if McLouth can bat .250 he could steal a ton of bases with Prado behind him. So, I know one homerun a turn around doesn’t make but can we be a little optimistic about these guys?
April 21st, 2010 at 6:16 pm
Leah – Was the guy Eric Karabell?
April 21st, 2010 at 6:17 pm
It would certainly solve a world of trouble if McLouth could succeed at the top.
April 21st, 2010 at 6:36 pm
Nice call on the lineup, Steve. Nailed it.
April 21st, 2010 at 7:32 pm
Werth looks like a Neanderthal. Kathryn, I’m terrible at remembering names. It’s the ESPN Baseball Today podcast guy. Not my Favorite podcast but it’s not bad. Helped me clean my house.
Sticking 2nd so far.
April 21st, 2010 at 7:42 pm
Webgem!
April 21st, 2010 at 7:48 pm
Glaus hitting a homer off Halliday would have been too poetic.
April 21st, 2010 at 9:08 pm
Baseball gods hate me. What did I ever do to them?
April 21st, 2010 at 9:27 pm
Oh I remember the day when Bub and Cledus would chat with me during the game. It was way less depressing when you’re scoreless and lady luck hates you.
April 21st, 2010 at 9:53 pm
Don’t be depressed, doll. Lots of good things: Venters, Hudson, Saito.
One disgusting thing: Escobar not hustling on the DP. I hope Chipper Jones slaps him across the earhole for that one.
April 21st, 2010 at 10:04 pm
Leah, sorry you felt abandoned…wed. is my “night out with the guys/gals” Came home in time to see the bases loaded and no runs produced. Bummer. I agree Werth looks like a Neanderthaller Dude. Hoping for 2/3 tomorrow. Go Braves!
April 21st, 2010 at 10:22 pm
Oh…I’m fine. It was good to see Chipper get a couple hits as a lefty. Venters was great. Huddy, not as good as Halliday. We’ll get ‘em next time so on and so forth.
April 21st, 2010 at 10:26 pm
The Escobar grounder really was a shame. It really should have gotten through. Don’t know if Mac could have scored from 2nd on it but … kind of pointless conversation, I suppose. To add to your good signs, Bub: Chipper with some hits, Glaus clearly getting to the ball better and Nate making good contact. The more I think about it, the season is not over yet!
April 21st, 2010 at 10:26 pm
That was me.
April 21st, 2010 at 10:47 pm
Wild Card (I’m not saying anything. I’m just sayin’….)
Braves
Fish .5 GB
Giants .5 GB
Brewers 1 GB
Pirates 1 GB
Rockies 1.5 GB
April 21st, 2010 at 11:08 pm
If you missed on the AJC, Vizcaino pitched well tonight. 7 innings, 1 ER, 1 BB, 6 K’s. He’s 2-1 now, don’t know his ERA, but I think he had a rough start in there somewhere.
April 21st, 2010 at 11:38 pm
Frenchy 0 for his last 24, spiraling fast. I’m going to be mature with my reaction.

Early Morning Post. I haven’t seen this time of day in two months. (Final today…)
April 22nd, 2010 at 7:46 am
Atlanta, can’t we pack the house for our first place team versus the best pitcher in Baseball during Bobby’s last year on the night after two dramatic 9th inning victories in a row? If not now, when?
A bad baseball town, I fear it shall ever be. Is there no city in the whole Southeast that can take advantage of this market?
I have a solution: pump the games into people’s homes, sell season tickets, Pay Per View… and give the people at home microphones with live feeds into a new sound system at the Ted. Have the technicians pump in real, bonafide screaming from home, and make it where it can’t be faked or increased beyond the noise being properly made. Yes, yes, I’m onto something.
From Tampa to Portland, the Crowd Goes Wild. Hell, we might could even arrange holographic images for each “ticket holder.” I’m calling James Cameron. It must be done.
April 22nd, 2010 at 7:48 am
*holographic images to fill the seats, that is.
April 22nd, 2010 at 7:49 am
*I fear it shall NEVER be.
I hope I don’t write about Henry Davis Thorough on my test…
April 22nd, 2010 at 7:52 am
Well I MUST be in the twilight zone for Bub to be up so early. Good luck on your final. For real, it seems the “crowd” is less than last year. Embarrassing.
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:32 am
re: 85 I have a funny comment that mr. Conviction won’t allow me to post. Damn conscience.
April 22nd, 2010 at 9:07 am
Bub, I know it’s a dead horse, but I SO agree about empty seats. As a season ticketholder, if I can’t be at the games, I make darned sure that my seats have butts in them. My butt will be there tonight, has it has been the last two nights.
April 22nd, 2010 at 9:20 am
*I fear it shall EVER be.
What’s WRONG with me???
Anne, as Chris Tucker would say to Sam Jackson, “Good lookin’ out…”
April 22nd, 2010 at 9:21 am
*courtesy laugh at Leah’s stealth joke*
April 22nd, 2010 at 9:26 am
School’s not out yet, the traffic is bad, it’s a weekday, spring practice is going on for UGA, blah, blah, blah – very disappointing.
So my son and I were watching the game last night on the DVR and were about an hour behind. We put our rally caps on in the 8th but my son questioned the power of the cap for a game whose outcome had already been decided. I told him it would still work, but deep down, I had a real crisis of faith about it. Thoughts?
April 22nd, 2010 at 9:57 am
Prayers and Rally Cap power, both being eternal, operate on a plane separate from our transient temporal sphere. All that counts is that you don’t know how it ends.
April 22nd, 2010 at 9:59 am
“The substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen…”
April 22nd, 2010 at 10:07 am
Pinella put his high money ace in middle relief. Bobby would never do that with Lowe.
April 22nd, 2010 at 10:51 am
Steve, I’ve mentioned before I expect the Braves to win every game. If they’re being shutout by the best pitcher in the baseball well I sense a dramatic ending even Walt himself couldn’t fashion. As Bub said…gotta have faith. I’m curious to see which game Halliday pitches the next time phills come to town. I’m glad I’m going to two of those games so I will get to see atleast one game we can win. I mean Halliday can’t pitch two COMPLETE games in a row. *chuckles* right? I am…right about that…surely.
April 22nd, 2010 at 1:16 pm
Leah, Halladay’s innings pitched in his last three starts: 9, 8, 9. He can go all day, pretty much ever day.
April 22nd, 2010 at 1:16 pm
And the Atlanta Braves have now officially cost me a letter grade.
I demand a win tonight.
April 22nd, 2010 at 2:16 pm
Awe shucks Bub. Sorry ’bout that. I’d give you an A if that makes you feel Any better. Do the Phillies play the Rays anytime soon? I’m hoping one day Doc gets a shellacking.
April 22nd, 2010 at 2:26 pm
This is the first time I’ve watched us play Moyer since I began to dislike him. This is the one guy… the ONE GUY… who, if he shuts us down, after giving up 5 runs to each of Houston and Florida… I’m not going to listen to any “he just brought the pitching today.” I’ve listened to it for the other sub-par pitchers we’ve faced who’ve magically discovered their mega-mojo, but not this time.
Seriously, if 3-mississippi Per Hour Methuselah shuts us down, I’m going into hiding until we get a big bat.
Or until the next game. Whichever comes first.
But do you know why he stands a decent chance at doing just that? Cuz we are a team without an approach. Anybody else feel that way? Just… up to each batter. No philosophy. No gameplan. No approach.
Hack. Hack. Hack. Oh, look it’s the 8th innning and their starter’s only thrown 6 pitches, how’d THAT happen, I wonder????
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Please win.
April 22nd, 2010 at 2:31 pm
We’re gonna win tonight…I FEEL it. And you know I rarely make that call. Only every time they put on the uni. So was the catch Shane V made last night robbing Glaus, was that exceptional? I want it to have been exceptional but he kinda made it look easy.
April 22nd, 2010 at 2:53 pm
Leah – it was an exceptional catch. Amazing timing (and pretty good ups) to make that catch.
Bub – typically, I agree with you on the hitting approach and while we haven’t seen it much in this Phillies series, don’t you think the Braves have been much more patient at the plate than we’ve seen in many, many years? You know, because they saw Heyward doing it and thought it would be a good idea.
April 22nd, 2010 at 3:25 pm
D-Lowe in his last 6 starts against the Phillies is 5-0 with a 2.08 ERA.
April 22nd, 2010 at 3:52 pm
Steve, yeah. Way to ruin my rant, but yeah.

Now, THAT is a catch.
April 22nd, 2010 at 3:57 pm
Avatar is dumb, yo.
April 22nd, 2010 at 4:45 pm
Moyer is, like, 82 years old…and Lowe is (another dead horse-type rant): the luckiest pitcher in the MLB. We can win the rubber game.
April 22nd, 2010 at 5:02 pm
Game time in 2 hours. Moyer just threw his first pitch. Diaz is studying the release point it on video. Chipper’s graphing it.
April 22nd, 2010 at 5:03 pm
*release point of it…
April 22nd, 2010 at 7:04 pm
Bub, your brain is fried my friend.
Here’s a fun read. http://buzztap.com/-NkUC4M
April 22nd, 2010 at 7:30 pm
I barely fire up the computer and we’re losing. That didn’t take long. I haven’t been able to get on ABT on either computer for a few days. I keep getting a “can’t open socket” message. It probably has something to do with my disfunction. Any thoughts computer profs out there?
April 22nd, 2010 at 7:49 pm
Can we keep Dobbs?
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:05 pm
I’ve gotten the “can’t open socket” message now and again. No idea what it’s about.
Derek Lowe sucks. Two more years of him at 15 million. Yeah. Bobby needs to man up and pen him. Medlen is badass. He’ll never do it, though.
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:07 pm
Was Heyward dinged on purpose? Payback for whats his toes? I feel a brawl a comin’.
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:09 pm
lol, nobody has ever, in the history of baseball, gotten Jamie Moyer to hit a player on purpose. Heyward didn’t even know he got hit. Ump had to tell him.
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:12 pm
1 hit through 3 innings off Jamie Moyer = I’m watching the draft. It’s up to you, Marteeeen.
Steve, by approach, I mean: not trying to pull Jamie Moyer, the #1 book on the slowman. Escobar comin’ out of his shoes trying to pull it three times. I mean, I heard “don’t pull Moyer” fifteen times in the last three years.
Marteeen keeps me in the game with a base knock.
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:13 pm
This is a joke
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:16 pm
Finally a call goes our way. I wish I didn’t care.
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:20 pm
I’m going to watch the draft now. Finding out where my Gators get drafted is more interesting than watching the Braves lose to old man Moyer.
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:27 pm
I hate this game. I wish I cared about the draft. What has to happen for TP to get canned? How many weeks into the season is it possible for a big league player to bat under .200? Just had to close my door due to children still awake and the words flying out of my mouth.
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:29 pm
Somethin’ funny from the DOB blog:
Got a hitch in your pitch? Bring it on down to Atlanta Metro ERA!!! We got your ground ballers, free swingers, pull happies, and caught nappies!!!
Don’t let that ERA sit there like that! Throw it through an Atlanta Bat!
Over Six? We got the fix!
Up to Seven? You’re in Heaven!!
“Hi! My name is Jamie Moyer, and when my ERA was lookin’ big, Bobby’s boys at Atlanta Metro ERA chopped that sucker down to size! If they can smooth me out at age 87, they can help you, too!”
That’s right, folks. Terry Pendleton is our trained ERA reduction expert. His motto: “It’s a swing thing. The more ya take, the more I ache!”
Come in this week and get a FREE PITCH COUNT REDUCTION.
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:31 pm
That’s hilarious! You wrote that huh.
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:36 pm
Not sayin’.
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:40 pm
Rolando McClain to Oakland.
R.I.P.
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:45 pm
Whatever works!
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:46 pm
Chipper nailed that. Caught. Glad to see one man on the team understand how to hit my grandpa.
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:46 pm
(And Prado, too, don’t yell…)
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:48 pm
Medlen, please do well here. Bobby needs to see the CONTRAST. For there to be any hope.
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:49 pm
Ooo…I was so close to a good tongue lashing. Are finals over or more tomorrow?
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:50 pm
I think the Braves light it up next inning. McLouth totally would have caught that.
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:51 pm
Over except for a Spanish Incomplete I have until late May to top off. (Got behind with father stuff). Thanks for asking.
Staring at my first B in my major, though. Not pleased. Had it in the bag and blew the damn final.
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:53 pm
Dammitall. C’mon, Kris. Foul up the bunt somehow.
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:54 pm
Sorry about the B. If people would leave you alone maybe you could study.:) Honestly though…a B? Not bad.
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:55 pm
If Medlin walks Moyer I’m out.
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:55 pm
You should stay until they score. C’mon, it’ll be fun.
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:56 pm
We’re about to get FRIGGGGED UP…
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:58 pm
I HATE this!!!! It makes me mean to those around me!
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:59 pm
Your litter box friends will miss you. Change your name mister…A B is not a failing grade.
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:59 pm
Good God! I’m sitting on a work call watching this disaster unfold on Gameday. How utterly depressing. I feel strong and irrational hatred for Derek Lowe.
April 22nd, 2010 at 9:01 pm
Get fired up Glaus! Then put that fire in your bat…the wooden one.
April 22nd, 2010 at 9:02 pm
lol, Leah with the quick save.
April 22nd, 2010 at 9:03 pm
OH, Flaherty.
Well, it’s just Ryan Howard. What can he do?
April 22nd, 2010 at 9:07 pm
Ok…change your name back. Lesser of two evils. Good job EOF. Here it comes. Braves come back magic! Heyward needs to between Chip and McCann. Prado needs to lead off. Why are these things not happening?
April 22nd, 2010 at 9:14 pm
lol, Lowe with the change up. Nine miles per hour.
Ooh. Esco made a hit! C’mon, J Hey.
April 22nd, 2010 at 9:15 pm
My heart’s in my throat. Dammit, don’t walk him.
Oh, gee, Melky on deck. Choices, choices.
April 22nd, 2010 at 9:16 pm
What a miserable game.
April 22nd, 2010 at 9:18 pm
Well, nobody’s perfect. Joe and John are talking like Moyer’s a ace. He seems good cause we ain’t hitting him but he pitches soooo sllllllowww. Don’t get it.
Double dawg damn.
April 22nd, 2010 at 9:19 pm
Why are we watching this when clearly all the smarter peoe choose to not torture themselves!
April 22nd, 2010 at 9:21 pm
The slow pitches aren’t easy to hit. You have to have a specific approach. That’s why, when a team runs out of pitchers in an extra inning game, and have to go to a regular position player to finish pitching, they’d rather have a guy who throws 75 than 85. The pitches are in limbo between batting practice balls and real pitches. Throws off the timing.
That’s (one reason) why facing Tim Wakefield can screw up teams’ timing for days. But you CAN beat the guy if you WILL make the slow-man adjustments. Never pull. Take the pitch and square it up where it comes to you. DAMMIT! OTHER teams have done it. Why not us?
I saw this coming.
April 22nd, 2010 at 9:23 pm
Well, I’m so relieved to be done with finals (minus Spanish, which I can pace out), I could watch the Ubaldo no-hitter and blow it off.
But, we’re in real trouble offensively. Real trouble. Can’t survive Lowe with this hitting.
April 22nd, 2010 at 9:25 pm
Next time be abrupt and encourage me to do something better with my evening. In reference to a conversation a few shows ago…I was surprised Moyer has so many homers hit off him since he pitches so slow.
Might be gone a minute…sister is calling.
April 22nd, 2010 at 9:29 pm
Well, have a good night. Shake it off. We’re still alive. These batting averages can’t possibly stay like this. Utterly impossible.
But this is some piss poor baseball.
April 22nd, 2010 at 9:37 pm
Disgusting.
April 22nd, 2010 at 9:40 pm
Zero earned runs for Jamie Moyer.
April 22nd, 2010 at 9:48 pm
We scored no runs off of their starters this series. A total and complete joke.
April 22nd, 2010 at 9:51 pm
Good patience, McCann. Take one more.
April 22nd, 2010 at 9:53 pm
Ugh. Well, he squared it up.
C’mon, Troy Gl..*COUGH*
C’mon, Troy Glau.. *HICCUP*
C’mon, Troy Gla… *COUGH*
Can’t do it.
April 22nd, 2010 at 9:54 pm
Hat trick for the right handed power bat.
April 22nd, 2010 at 9:55 pm
Joe talking about being surprised that Kendrick and Moyer looked so good this series. C’mon Joe, you’re usually much more honest than that. And now Glaus strikes out to end the inning. Effing awful.
April 22nd, 2010 at 10:00 pm
Here’s to hoping Glaus rides the pine for the entire next series.
April 22nd, 2010 at 10:00 pm
.171, .170, .128, .205
Glad we got rid of those black holes.
April 22nd, 2010 at 10:02 pm
Seriously gotta lump the hitters together. I’d rather have one blow out inning with 2 dead ones to follow and score more runs. We get the dead ones anyway the way it is. Did y’all see TP chatting with McCann, arm around his shoulder, imparting his wisdom?
April 22nd, 2010 at 10:03 pm
Wow. Chavez painting the corners at 96 MPH, and a change up that was 87. That’s nice stuff.
April 22nd, 2010 at 10:07 pm
What Terry is saying to Brian: “Sometimes the first pitch you see is the first pitch you get. See, back when I was playing for the…”
What Brian’s hearing in his head: *guitar strumming* “… I been through the desert on a horse wi’ no name, it felt good to get out of the rain… in the desert… you can remember your name…”
April 22nd, 2010 at 10:08 pm
Sit Escobar too…let Infante have a chance. I hate this lineup.
April 22nd, 2010 at 10:09 pm
Holy Mile-High. Denver took Tebow.
April 22nd, 2010 at 10:10 pm
Tuesday seems like a loooooooooong time ago.
April 22nd, 2010 at 10:11 pm
Is that good?

April 22nd, 2010 at 10:14 pm
It’s very good for Tim Tebow. I’m happy for him.
April 22nd, 2010 at 10:17 pm
I hate the Phillies.
April 22nd, 2010 at 10:22 pm
Me: *sigh* let’s just get this over with.
The Rev: twss
April 22nd, 2010 at 10:23 pm
Sit Matty D too while you’re at it too.
April 22nd, 2010 at 10:23 pm
lol, good job, Rev.
April 22nd, 2010 at 10:24 pm
Here comes a worthless C. Jones homer.
April 22nd, 2010 at 10:29 pm
Then the Rev. Said, ” Honey, you need to pray the Phillies have a major injury in their rotation.”.
That almost got him slapped.
April 22nd, 2010 at 10:30 pm
Or not.
Well, that was fun.
April 22nd, 2010 at 10:31 pm
*”Or not” wasn’t directed at your comment.

Wild Card Standings
Florida
Braves .5 GB
Giants .5 GB
Nats 1 GB
Rockes 1 GB
G’night, folks. Get ‘em tomorrow. (We miss Santana, Pelf will be tough, though. Like Jamie Moyer.)
April 22nd, 2010 at 11:30 pm
#172 very funny.
Good lord – what a horrible end to the series. Blech. Dreadful. What is going on here?! Except for 1+ innings on Tuesday night (late) we have looked horrible all week. I know its the Phillies and all, but we gotta put up a better fight than that.
April 22nd, 2010 at 11:48 pm
Steve, your hatred of Lowe may be strong, but it’s certainly not irrational. All nine innings did I sit. Sigh. That’s going to be a long plane ride to NYC tonight.
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:05 am
I really really NEED us to win tonight. My mental health depends on it.
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:45 am
Leah – sadly, I agree with you 100%. I’m in such a foul mood and it’s all about last night. Damn this game!!!!!!
April 23rd, 2010 at 11:08 am
While I find the fan who can love a team and not hate their rival slightly insane, I envy them a little. Just like I wish I could watch a game for the heck of it or go to the ballpark because it’s a beautiful day and not be in knots over the outcome. Why DO I care so much? Didn’t grow up in ATL? Didn’t grow up watching baseball? I started watching in ’98 at the end of the glory days. Is there a weekly meeting for this sort of behavior?
April 23rd, 2010 at 1:19 pm
Sorry Leah, it’s only cold turkey or addiction on this kind of thing. Choose wisely.
April 23rd, 2010 at 1:51 pm
Honestly, I don’t understand Philly hatred, other than the fact that they stand between our team and the playoffs. It’s not like Rollins and Victorino are Milton Bradley. Most of their personalities are alright, and they play hard and pack the house. They’re not a mishmash of free agents. Their rise to dominance seems much more legit than the Yankees. The acquisition of Halladay was a brilliant move, and the guy took a (probable) pay cut to go there. I think they’re a class A organization.
But you don’t have to hate the other team to be miserable over losing to them. Last night was the worst loss in a long time. Like a slow train wreck, and I saw both the offense’s garbage against Moyer AND Lowe’s latest egg from a mile away.
Escobar, Lowe, and Glaus are getting on my damn nerves. Glaus needs to quit showing his ass over strike calls and basepath calls. He’s usually wrong on the replay. I guess I’m glad he cares, but he’s making a fool of himself. McCann is a passionate player, too, but when he has a beef with the umps, he’s right 90% of the time. He doesn’t just show out because he lost on the play and is whiney about it.
Escobar is always going to be a petulant child, I guess. I wouldn’t trade him, just because his dumb plays will never be enough to make him less valuable than a lesser talent, and his personality isn’t bad enough to be a cancer, but I probably will never embrace him as a favorite Brave again like I have before. He acts like he has to just completely grit his teeth to play the game professionally. I asked my Spanish teacher, who is an original refugee from Cuba’s communist takeover (she’s in her 70′s), if the Hot Headed Cuban Ballplayer excuse holds water. She said character and heart are the same everywhere, and a brat is a brat. (Though I must admit, she reminds me of Escobar a little in temperment, lol.)
Well…. that’s that. That series spoiled my mood. And I completely expect to lose to the improving Mets. The Braves can change my mind or they can let it stay sour. I’m not lifting a finger to change my own mood toward them. They’re playing like ass.
April 23rd, 2010 at 2:00 pm
p.s. I still expect to compete for the wild card. Mad as I am and would like to say otherwise, we’ve just got too much pitching to fall out of it, barring injury. And it is truly impossible for these batting averages to stay here.
There are a lot of runs to be had by lifting half the team’s averages by 100+ points each. Just don’t know when they’ll do it. My money says, not soon.
April 23rd, 2010 at 2:28 pm
That they are. I was referring to the Mets. I honestly don’t hate the Phillies. I want to trade half their lineup and last night’s opposing pitchers. I really like to embrace the team and appreciate the players we have. I believe comparison is the theif of joy and try not to compare. When 6 out of 9 players can’t bat over .200 all that’s hard to do.
April 23rd, 2010 at 2:29 pm
5 out of 9…too many either way.
April 23rd, 2010 at 2:29 pm
Bub – I want to believe that it’s impossible for the averages to stay where they are, but the pessimist in me says we thought the same thing about Kelly and Frenchy last year, too.
OK – predictions for tonight’s game? I’ll start: we lose 4 – 1.
April 23rd, 2010 at 3:06 pm
6-3 Mets. Maine’s going back to fast balls. If our hitters don’t have to have an approach, they’ll get a few hits. Kawakami’s due a shelling.
April 23rd, 2010 at 3:17 pm
Uck to you both. I don’t like turkey…too dry. 4-3 Braves with Prado hitting a homer off one of Maine’s fastballs. There, I said it.
April 23rd, 2010 at 3:20 pm
At Citi Field/ Grand Canyon? Good luck.
April 23rd, 2010 at 3:29 pm
I just realized that the risk/ reward ratio of doubting a Prado homer against Leah is not in my favor.
Yes, Prado hits a towering homer against Maine’s fastball.
April 23rd, 2010 at 3:30 pm
… in a 6-3 loss.
April 23rd, 2010 at 4:06 pm
Silly Bub, how’s that possible when the bags will be bustin with Bravos?
April 23rd, 2010 at 4:27 pm
I like the lineup. Heyward after McCann followed by Hinske.
April 23rd, 2010 at 4:35 pm
Escobar and Glaus benched. I swear BC reads this forum.
April 23rd, 2010 at 4:48 pm
“Braves sent wrong lineup and I cut-and-pasted it w/out checking. Anyway, infante’s at SS.”
thanks DOB…awesome
April 23rd, 2010 at 5:14 pm
He benched Escobar and Glaus? Alright, I have to say I’m 50% sold on Bobby being less lethargic this year. If only I could dare to dream he would replace Lowe in the rotation.
By the way, the Braves have it in their power to effectively end John Maine’s career as a starter tonight, I expect. Braves will pull a stealth move and let him have more chances… *facepalm*
April 23rd, 2010 at 5:16 pm
Let the culling begin.
Bub, I’m back on the negative train in a big way. Expect bombs in this week’s show. I’m so tired of this act the Braves keep performing.
Thing Escobar got benched as much for his lack of production as he did for his lack effort on that play that ended up costing the team three runs last night?
P.s. We aren’t in the same stratosphere as the Phils right now. And the gap seems to be going in the wrong direction.
April 23rd, 2010 at 5:18 pm
Think – he said
April 23rd, 2010 at 5:44 pm
Give ‘em hell, Curt. They deserve every grumpy word. They do NOT have to be playing like this. There’s no way I can be convinced this is necessary. I don’t have to look any further than Escobar’s pullswings at Moyer to know that this team isn’t being run right.
Even my Wild Card hopes are kind of “meh…”, not because I don’t think they can make it, but because even if they do, they’re not gonna suddenly play up to their potential. The team seems diseased. There, that’s as dark as I’ll be.
We might win this series, or Mets migh out-lose us. But if we don’t, I’m putting the Braves on probation:
1. I’m not watching/ listening to live games until they act right. If they win a game, I’ll watch the mlb.com condensed game the next day. (Those are neat. No commentary, just crowd noise. I mean “crowd” noise.)
2. If they lose, I’ll just skip it and rent a movie. I can find 162 movies worth my attention over this mess. I want a fun summer.
3. If they get their act together, I’ll watch live games again.
That’s only if they lose the Mets series. Though, if Francoeur gets a 3-hit night, I might pull the trigger anyway. So, STRAIGHTEN UP, Bravos, or your days of freely commanding my 3-hour attention are over. (I hate to scare them so bad, but desperate times…)
“Cox said Escobar and Glaus just getting a day off, insisted Escobar move had nothing “to do with slump or his play on the DP last night.”
Yeah, you know what Bobby? Don’t be in such an all fired hurry to soothe these guys’ worries.
Also, if Terry Pendleton takes the reigns next year, AND they continue cutting costs, I’m pretty sure I’m outta here. Life’s too short.
April 23rd, 2010 at 5:44 pm
Ugh, sorry for all the novel-lengthers. Mad as hell and I’m not gonna take it anymore?
April 23rd, 2010 at 5:47 pm
p.s. I’m Bubdoubter for a LOOOOONG time this time. Not getting suckered back in by a miracle 9th inning after 8 innings off butt soup. Followed by 2 more games of the same.
April 23rd, 2010 at 5:50 pm
“Bowman and me approached Escobar just while ago, asked him if he’s just getting a day off, and he said, in English, “I don’t know nothing.”
Then Bowman asked him if he thought he could have made the play on the would-be double play relay, and Escobar just sort of shrugged and had a facial expression that said, no comment.” – DOB
Yeah, don’t like Yunel Escobar any more. When (and not before) he’s replaced with good talent, happy to see him go.
“Bowman and me approached”??? David?
April 23rd, 2010 at 7:03 pm
I believe! I know…downright idiotic. Can’t be helped.
Still can only access ABT via iPhone. Both computers tell me either I’m blocked or “can’t open socket”. Starting to get a complex. Go Braves!!!!
April 23rd, 2010 at 7:14 pm
1-2-3 for John Maine.
That’s right. For John Maine.
April 23rd, 2010 at 7:20 pm
Nice, Nate.
April 23rd, 2010 at 7:22 pm
Dear Nate, thanks buddy. Love, Killer
April 23rd, 2010 at 7:22 pm
Mets & Braves offenses: this game should take about 8 minutes.
April 23rd, 2010 at 7:38 pm
Fair or Foul: Bobby Cox personally dislikes Nate McLouth.
April 23rd, 2010 at 7:42 pm
Infante AND Hinske picking up (the only) hits the first time through. The sky is telling you something, Bobby. Replacing non-performers now and then is GOOD. Listen, old man, to the sky.
April 23rd, 2010 at 7:43 pm
Foul. BC doesn’t not like anyone. I wonder how long it took KK’s interpreter to learn all those signs. *bows to great applause and laughter*
April 23rd, 2010 at 7:44 pm
I want a tattoo.
April 23rd, 2010 at 7:49 pm
I LIKE this lineup. A whole heck of a lot.
April 23rd, 2010 at 7:52 pm
Oh, Jason. That was out of the zone.
Good job, Chipper. The old man’s getting his average up.
April 23rd, 2010 at 7:55 pm
J-Hey may be the nicest person alive but he looks like a serious badass.
April 23rd, 2010 at 7:57 pm
Miserable. Wake me up when the Braves can beat Francoeur.
April 23rd, 2010 at 7:59 pm
Hehehe…Frenchy thinking he can take McCann. Dude’s a tree trunk. Made me happy.
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:03 pm
sh*t. I took a phone call. Graphic says Chipper threw him out? Describe, please, Mary.
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:06 pm
Yeah, we all know Hinske and Infante could collect 10 hits tonight and there is no way they aren’t back on the bench come tomorrow. As Infante picks up his second hit…..
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:08 pm
Ok, here’s how it went down. Somebody hit right to chipper and Frenchy (of course) was already headed home. Chip fired it to B Mac. The Macster caught it with both hands and held fast. Frenchy half heartedly tried to run him over to no avail. What do we know about Met’s bullpen?
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:13 pm
Thanks.
Don’t know much about the Mets’ pen. I know it would be handy if we could hit it hard and wear it out for the rest of the series. As far as I know, there’s nobody on the level with Moylan, Saito, or Wagner except their closer, K-Rod.
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:23 pm
lol. Mets.
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:26 pm
I know dude just got a bloopers double and made us look stupid but Reyes looks sick. And not in the new “that means extraordinary” way but the unwell way.
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:28 pm
Those strikes look low.
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:32 pm
You’re just used to seeing Lowe’s hanging sinker. The whole strike zone looks low now.
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:34 pm
Hah. Come on KK! Keep that goose egg up there!
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:36 pm
I need chocolate.
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:36 pm
Well, at least we’ve got the Metros energized now.
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:38 pm
If KK can get through 6 with 1 or 2 runs scored, I’ll be satisfied/amazed. I don’t see how EVERYBODY doesn’t hit him a mile.
And just as I say that, Barajas almost goes yard. Thank goodness Mets offense has Braves disorder.
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:39 pm
lol, first major league hit for Tagashashhkakiyaka.
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:40 pm
Well it’s only fair. Can’t do it for the Phillies and not the Mets. Gotta keep things even steven.
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:46 pm
Jason just has a better eye than the homeplate ump.
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:48 pm
Take. Me home from the baaaaall park.
Take. Me home from this shiiiiiiiiii*iiiit.
But me a baseball videeeeeeo game,
I’ll make some Braves that don’t plaaaaaay so lame.
And it’s root. Root root for retiiiiiiirement.
If Cox don’t quit I’ll cut wriiiiiiists,
Cuz it’s ONE! TWO! THREE strikes we’re out
when you plaaayyyyy liiiiiike thiiiiiiiiisss!
Nine strike outs versus John Maine and Takasomething.
YEAH!
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:50 pm
I think this home plate ump is in love with his punch out move. Damn, how can the team be so flummoxed by Takahashi. At least Omar’s hitting, Chipper looks good and Hinske’s bunt was awesome.
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:53 pm
Has KK been getting the generous low and outside call?
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:54 pm
Hahahaha. Oh how you make me chuckle. Steve, the bunt was awesome. The offense is miserable and like I said…Reyes is ill…clearly.
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:54 pm
This team is awful.
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:56 pm
Remember a week ago when 2 runs didn’t seem insurmountable? Remember that?
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:58 pm
Defense! Yeah!
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:58 pm
Good Lord – the team looks utterly defeated right now.
April 23rd, 2010 at 8:59 pm
Let’s give the rookie another swing…good idea.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:01 pm
If Francoeur gets an RBI hit here, I’m long, long gone. “Up In the Air” awaits.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:01 pm
Please don’t let Frenchy hurt us here. Please, I can’t take it.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:03 pm
Your 4 to 1 prediction lookin’ good, Stevie. Gotta do some work to get to my 6-3 loss, but I’ve got confidence.
They’ll go up 6 to 1 and put Rookie McBrokearm in to pitch and we’ll get two more.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:04 pm
Kawakami, throw him a ball. Not a strike. A ball. I don’t care if the count is full.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:05 pm
Come on, Kawakami… you’re all that stands between me and a rerun.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:06 pm
Never been so happy to see an error ruled against the Braves instead of a hit.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:07 pm
Alright! Now I can stay and continue being tortured!
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:09 pm
Go braves blah blah blah
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:11 pm
YES! You’ve done it, Braves! You’ve converted the world’s last Braves Homerette!
Maybe if we ALL go Curtish on the Braves, their luck will change.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:11 pm
Forget Heyward. INFANTE is the best player on the team!
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:14 pm
Oh, Stevie. Remember how Heyward followed up his last hat trick.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:14 pm
I don’t understand how BC can’t start Infante. Of course I also don’t get how he can look TP in the eye with out punching him in the gut.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:17 pm
Kathryn, I don’t think so but Bub says my vision is skewed.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:17 pm
10 K’s! Woo! What a pitcher!
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:19 pm
Praaaaadooooooo!
Are.
Bee.
I.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:19 pm
Jerry Manuel playing for his life/ job.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:20 pm
So this is love.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:24 pm
Ugh. Well, Chipper had a good at bat. Nice to see him looking himself.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:25 pm
(that wasn’t sarcasm)
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:26 pm
I’ve eaten a whole bag of Ghirardelli dark chocolate squares filled with caramel. Baseball is not good for my figure.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:29 pm
You live in NYC…what makes you a Mets fan rather than a Yankees fan?
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:31 pm
Masochism.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:35 pm
Ok that made me laugh but I may stop looking up words you use that I don’t understand.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:36 pm
That was a strike on J-Hey.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:37 pm
lol, we SUCK! SUCK! SUCK!
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:37 pm
What a waste of chocolate.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:39 pm
“2 : pleasure in being abused or dominated : a taste for suffering”
That’s the definition of masochism I meant. Didn’t really know the other one was the primary definition.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:39 pm
I’m not watching…at all!
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:40 pm
Everybody rides the pine tomorrow. Glad Bobby’s pissed. Hope he puts his cleats up some asses after the game.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:41 pm
What a nightmare. Now let’s see if we can get Wright going. He’s been having a hard time. I sense … yup, there it is.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:41 pm
McCann clearly not understanding the infield fly rule. The team looks simply awful. Not a good night in the field for Chipper. And another run. Wow.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:42 pm
Yes, it’s gusty…blowing the Braves chances away…not that I’m watching, ’cause I’m not!
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:42 pm
Not watching tomorrow either…so there!
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:42 pm
Cledus, you are wise. Break out your banjo and sing to your flowers.
Ok Bub…kinda glad to hear that and a little guilty for laughing. Now you know all of ABT is looking it up.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:44 pm
Mets have been getting that outside call ALL night!
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:44 pm
Four errors. Way to buckle down, ballteam. I hate this team right now.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:46 pm
Mega Twang Thang going on here. It really helps. Would somebody please tell BC that we need a real lead off hitter and our regular SS back…please. Twang!
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:47 pm
I also hate this team. Well except for Prado.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:49 pm
Tomorrow’s lineup: Glaus (cause he’s fast), Prado (duh), Glavine (he’s on payroll), Smoltz (he goes wherever Glavine goes), Heyward (cause he’s godlike), saito (cause he’s tired), Lowe (no hurt feelings), TP (it’s all his fault), and my special needs sister. Everybody else on the bench. Oh, and Steve’s managing cause Bobby’s gonna quit.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:50 pm
Leah, no, it was my bust. “That” connotation is probably the most common. I’ve been educated beyond my intelligence, as Jerry Clower would say.
I can’t believe how my Braves are playing. Just shameful. I wonder what the game means to them. Less than it does to us, as a wise ABT’er pointed out.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:51 pm
I feel bad for Heyward. He can’t figure out where that Ump’s strikezone is at. His parents wentto Dartmouth…he don’t know to look between the A and the T.
Told y’all Glaus was fast.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:52 pm
laughing out loud at #283, Leah. Nice.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:52 pm
I say we let the bat boys play tomorrow.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:54 pm
I seriously may not be able to watch the last inning. 3 up and 3 down or I’m watching the NHL draft and I care very little about that.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:57 pm
I would make the entire team run laps. Where is Curahee when you need it! Along with Sargent Sobel.
April 23rd, 2010 at 9:58 pm
Jerry..these here boys caint play wuf a damn!
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:03 pm
Marcel, you moved an pee-aners lately?
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:04 pm
EVERYBODY TAKE A LAP!
*Prado and Heyward take a lap*
*Escobar jumps up and down in a chalk circle*
*Chipper takes on jogstep and warps his buttmuscle*
*Glaus promises to take the lap, but doesn’t*
*Derek Lowe charges a thousand dollars per step, then demands to be carried on McCann’s back*
*Bobby Cox forgets what he said and barks at Prado and Heyward to quit jogging around*
*Melky eats Wagner*
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:06 pm
Marcel, boy, I gotta bone to pick which you!
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:08 pm
I needed that laugh. “Four eyes.”. Can we change teams? If we all change teams together maybe it won’t hurt so bad. The Bravea and I are on the rocks…I’ll be honest. This love affair is a two-way streak. Do you think the low attendance played a factor?
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:09 pm
They oughta take a lap, onacounta they done took a Nap Tonite!
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:09 pm
Walk McLouth and let Prado swing away.
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:10 pm
The gods hate us.
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:11 pm
Come on Nate!!! Heal my heart!!!!
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:12 pm
The gods love us, they just like to keep us honest.
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:13 pm
Glad I’m not watching this.
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:16 pm
Ugh. G’night, folks.
Braves, you’re on probation.
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:17 pm
Pathetic
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:27 pm
Really? Glad i didn’t watch.
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:40 pm
Owie.
April 23rd, 2010 at 11:49 pm
Wow – two days away from the computer and two things keep happening: 1) it takes me an hour to catch up on the posts and 2) the BRAVES SUCK. Ugggggggghhhhhhhhhhh. Horrid. Horrid. Horrid. You guys have already said everything worth saying. “Pathetic”. “Owie”. Even winning the next two games will not take the stink off of this team right now.
April 24th, 2010 at 8:36 am
that game was a Lowe blow
April 24th, 2010 at 8:45 am
Too soon Will. Too soon. Just kidding. Maine did the naked nostril blow by the way. Does it bother you that I think of you every time someone does that nastiness?
April 24th, 2010 at 9:08 am
Silver lining…Phillies and Yankees lost.
Look at the last two time stamps. *cue twilight music*
April 24th, 2010 at 10:43 am
Happy 40th to my boy Will
in honor of that, Braves win 4-0 today.
April 24th, 2010 at 12:00 pm
Prado and McCann out of the lineup. heyward back in 7 hole. Happy b’day Curt’s buddy Will. You’re old dude. My son got an assist in soccer today. That’s good right?
April 24th, 2010 at 1:35 pm
Was Bobby drunk when he decided Melky should hit in front of J-Hey?
April 24th, 2010 at 2:30 pm
Listening with sincere apathy.
April 24th, 2010 at 2:40 pm
The Real Solution:
1. Trade Hanson, McCann, Heyward and Jurrjens to Philly for Moyer, Blanton, Rollins, and Victorino.
2. See you all at Philladelphia Baseball Talk.
April 24th, 2010 at 2:47 pm
That’s the least I’ve ever given a crap for a go-ahead run.
April 24th, 2010 at 3:04 pm
I like it! Philly is almost as close to me as Atlanta and they have great sandwiches. AND, I look good in red. Badabing. Done.
April 24th, 2010 at 3:14 pm
LOL!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
YEAH!
YEAH!!
YEAH!!
Manny Acosta BLOWS US AWAY!! YES!
I love it. WHY am I paying attention to this game? What is WRONG with me? It’s SATURDAY!
April 24th, 2010 at 3:16 pm
Acosta AND Francoeur to beat us in one inning?
Yup.
April 24th, 2010 at 3:21 pm
I’m at the grocery store and I literally care more about getting the best deal on toilet paper than this game. Except for poor JJ. He deserves better. I hate to bring it up again but…Johnny Damon.
April 24th, 2010 at 3:23 pm
Pshh. Johnny Damon couldn’t cure this team, Leah. There’s something very wrong with them mentally right now.
The 12-Roll of Scott 1000 is generally the cheapest per square. Ship about 20 cases of it to Turner Field.
April 24th, 2010 at 3:26 pm
Also, Glaus pitches another petulant fit for striking out (swinging). Steroids, pouting, non-performing, fit-pitching right handed power bat off the injury scrap heap. Why are we even kidding ourselves?
Braves about to be in LAST PLACE if all the current scores hold. From first to last in 4 games.
April 24th, 2010 at 3:34 pm
The word pathetic gets thrown around a lot. 7 men left in scoring position.
April 24th, 2010 at 3:46 pm
Bobby can’t manage a bullpen, but boy can he get the most out of his player. I wonder what those .143, .175, .175, and .197 batting averages would be if we had a bad manager.
April 24th, 2010 at 3:47 pm
The only moment I smiled watching this game was when Acosta came in, and that’s even turned on me. The Escobar travesty at 3rd base is the biggest gut punch in a long list of choices today.
April 24th, 2010 at 3:59 pm
14 total runs in our last 7 games.
April 24th, 2010 at 4:00 pm
How low do the averages get before TP gets nervous?
April 24th, 2010 at 4:07 pm
This. Team. Is. The. Worst.
(and that is not hyperbole – they literally are the worst team in baseball. The only reason we don’t have the worst record is because of Jason Heyward.)
April 24th, 2010 at 4:07 pm
They won’t consider doing anything to him this year. When the hitters rebound and hit MLB average in the second half when it doesn’t matter, he’ll get a “good job helpin’ them fellers rebound” and that’ll be that.
April 24th, 2010 at 4:25 pm
And for anybody who doesn’t have this show on DVD already, here’s what’s coming next:
Team meeting, blah blah fire lit under, win 4 or 5 games in one week, start playing poorly again, yawn.
A sustained effort is just beyond them. Remember the last two spring training games? They were “tired of spring training.” Whatever. Tired of playing baseball. They look it.
April 24th, 2010 at 4:26 pm
I’ve learned something ABT so listen up. Pretending apathy doesn’t help. Oh my achy breaky heart. I could pummel Escobar.
April 24th, 2010 at 4:27 pm
And honestly what options do they have? Another team, built on the cheap, that completely had to rely on a bunch of questions marks, none of whom have performed. This is the team we will have all year long, and this is the team that will thus be a flatline all year long.
April 24th, 2010 at 4:31 pm
Alright – a little subject change. I promised scores of people (alright, really just Anne and Leah) that we’d start selling stuff with our logo. The shop is set up. And while the link on the website is still under construction, you can go straight there if you cannot wait another moment. Check it all out at: http://www.cafepress.com/atlbaseballtalk. Thanks.
April 24th, 2010 at 4:52 pm
A GLORIOUS change in subject! You don’t know how many concert t-shirts I have passed on waiting for this day. I’m having a hard time deciding between the black or red capped sleeved women’s tee. Have you seen them in person? The black one looks better online but I do like red. Decisions. Steve, you seriously just made my day 20% better. Which if you knew how hard this day has been you’d know that’s amazing.
April 24th, 2010 at 5:16 pm
Chipper’s injury sounds… significant. Cox chewed Escobar out. I’m glad of it, but if that’s the only chewing Cox gave, I have to join a lot of other fans in calling Bobby’s doghouse very arbitrary.
This team is falling apart. It’s an absolute spectacle. I’m not sure Bobby Cox deserves any better for his parting legacy, either. It was a nice fantasy that the players would be energized by the illusion of a great manager’s last hurrah, but maybe it’s better if history puts a vivid exclamation point on the truth: He managed a ballclub that had a high payroll and THREE HOF pitchers to about the lousiest performance conceivable for such a group. When the payroll and the HOF’ers left and Bobby remained, they’ve played from expectancy to below expectancy. Plenty of the latter.
April 24th, 2010 at 5:40 pm
Kelly Johnson: .327 Batting Average. 5 homeruns. Five.
April 24th, 2010 at 5:55 pm
See all my previous comments. Read my blogs. There has been no discernible difference with this team in the last three years. Particularly, last year. Expect no different results.
April 24th, 2010 at 5:59 pm
Aubrey Huff is hitting .254 with 5 homers. I’d take it.
April 24th, 2010 at 6:10 pm
With just their third three-game winning streak since last May, the New York Mets got back to .500 for the first time since the opening week of the season.
April 24th, 2010 at 6:16 pm
I’m seriously not watching any more until they get it together. I said I wouldn’t watch to day, but I gave in. No more. I don’t mind losing ballgames. I do mind losing to terrible ballteams and playing like this.
Not sure what I’ll replace it with. On weekdays, listening to all three hours of the Dan Patrick show might be the ticket. Or I could… do something with my life.
Nah, Dan Patrick it is.
April 24th, 2010 at 7:42 pm
Lives of Others
April 24th, 2010 at 8:16 pm
I’m working on it, Curt. They don’t have it locally.
April 24th, 2010 at 10:05 pm
KJ 6 HR.
April 24th, 2010 at 10:27 pm
Thanks for the birthday message, Curtis. For a diversion here is the song that came up on shuffle on my iPod yesterday. No joke. Heres the lyrics from Wiki:
This song is performed by Loudon Wainwright III and appears on the album More Love Songs (1986).
Loudon Wainwright III:The Back Nine
In this game you’ve got eighteen holes
To shoot your best somehow
Where have all my divots gone
I’m in the back nine now
I got to move on down to that next fairway
Up to that flapping flag
There’s a storm formin’ overhead
I got to shoulder up that bag
Shoulder up that bag
Shoulder up that bag
Got to move on down to that next fairway
Up to that flapping flag
I used to tote my daddy’s bag
When I was a boy
I saw him sweat and I heard him swear
But sometimes he’d whoop for joy
Golf clubs are made of wood and iron
No, no, no, they are not magic wands
And balls fall into sand traps
And balls drop into ponds
Balls drop into ponds
Balls drop into ponds
Golf clubs are made of wood and iron
No they are not magic wands
I’m walkin’ around with these spiked shoes on
Oh it feels a little obscene
Mother nature with a manicure
Up here on this green
Oh I don’t know about you but I got to have me a few
When we get to that clubhouse bar
It’s my reward for this scorecard
I’m way over par
I’m way over par
I’m way over par
I don’t know about you
I got to drink me few
When we get to that clubhouse bar
In this game you got eighteen holes
To shoot your best somehow
Where have all my divots gone
I’m in the back nine now
April 25th, 2010 at 1:29 am
Our three black holes from last year’s line up, Kotchman, Frenchy, and KJ have totaled 12 HR’s so far, same # as the entire Braves line up.
April 25th, 2010 at 10:39 am
I’d like to say I’m not watching tonight but I know I will. Can’t help it. Those HR stats are depressing. Maybe it’ll rain.
April 25th, 2010 at 10:40 am
New show? Hearing your three very distraught voices may help.
April 25th, 2010 at 1:11 pm
But Bub, McLouth’s strikeout rate is lower than Schafer’s was, so that’s an improvement.
Yes, new show tonight. It’s going to be very upbeat and positive. We’re going to talk about the Nats.
April 25th, 2010 at 5:06 pm
Cabrera leading off. McCann, Glaus, Heyward, Escobar 4-7 spots. I like my lineup better. Who knows…maybe it’ll shake something up. It can’t make it worse.
April 25th, 2010 at 7:51 pm
This guy is very open about his rehab stint. He’s a minor league pitcher for the Rangers. He’s from ATL and very good friends with a certain player we like to call “Hey hey hey” *fat Albert style*. Anyway, I wish a certain team that kinda rhymes with rage would read his latest blog. http://schlact.mlblogs.com/
April 25th, 2010 at 8:07 pm
Here I sit. Torturing myself. Tut tut…looks like rain.
April 25th, 2010 at 8:11 pm
I’m NOT happy about Melky leading off. Why not keep Infante in there? Neither is particularly better against RHP. I don’t get it.
April 25th, 2010 at 8:19 pm
C’mon kid. Man do we need a hit here.
April 25th, 2010 at 8:23 pm
Good start.
April 25th, 2010 at 8:25 pm
32 pitches for Pelfry and a double by McCann…not bad. Steve, I HATE Melky leading off. I wanted Heywards first GS. He was crazy patient.
April 25th, 2010 at 8:33 pm
Chip player hurt =fail.
April 25th, 2010 at 8:34 pm
Terrific. Chipper has got to eat that ball. Never should have been thrown. So pathetic.
April 25th, 2010 at 8:46 pm
So Hanson can’t get the bunt down and costs us a run. DISAPPOINTED
April 25th, 2010 at 9:06 pm
Somebody do something!
April 25th, 2010 at 9:10 pm
Devil take you Glaus for giving me hope!
April 25th, 2010 at 9:11 pm
and for naught….sigh
April 25th, 2010 at 9:11 pm
Can. Not. Catch. An. Effin. Break.
April 25th, 2010 at 9:41 pm
Ok, one more half inning then I’m hitting the sheets. C’mon guys, make it a big one!
April 25th, 2010 at 9:46 pm
Made dumplins today…I know how you love them Cledus.
April 25th, 2010 at 9:47 pm
Put Infante at 2nd and Prado at 3rd. Please and shankyou.
April 25th, 2010 at 9:48 pm
Steal Prado!
April 25th, 2010 at 9:48 pm
Yeah…I love them dumplins. The Atlanta Dumplins. They look mighty good, but they just sit there and don’t really do anything.
April 25th, 2010 at 9:48 pm
Just kidding.
April 25th, 2010 at 9:50 pm
Laughing at Cledus
April 25th, 2010 at 9:51 pm
Oh Glaus. Why couldn’t you hit the single this at bat instead of the DP you’re about to hit?
April 25th, 2010 at 9:52 pm
I’m just that good folks.
April 25th, 2010 at 9:52 pm
Dumplins
April 25th, 2010 at 9:54 pm
Doubled Dumplins
April 25th, 2010 at 9:55 pm
I’m in such a need for an attitude boost, that i’m looking forward to Curt to have something cheery to say on tonights show.
April 25th, 2010 at 9:58 pm
Ok…Hanson with 7 SO and 1 run is looking pretty good (not counting that base hit) so there’s lots to be enthused about, right. I’m supposed to be in bed.
April 25th, 2010 at 10:01 pm
Don’t leave me alone in this mess! McCann looks dejected. I don’t think the podcast is going to be rainbows and sunshine.
April 25th, 2010 at 10:01 pm
“Knee Buckler” says Don Sutton on the radio.
April 25th, 2010 at 10:03 pm
Tommy made Reyes look silly.
April 25th, 2010 at 10:04 pm
Next show title:
Gloom despair and agony on me
Deep dark depression
Excessive misery
If i had no bad luck I’d have no luck at all
Gloom despair and agony on me
April 25th, 2010 at 10:05 pm
Ok Escobar…see that’s 3 outs. NOW we can go to the dugout. See how that works? Remember it next time you’re on third. Go get ‘em kid!
April 25th, 2010 at 10:06 pm
Wish I could spell that spitting sound.
April 25th, 2010 at 10:06 pm
Mara, I’m going to extra innings just because I think Hanson has moved into my top 5 all time favorite Americans…
April 25th, 2010 at 10:06 pm
Oh, no
April 25th, 2010 at 10:07 pm
Of course it’s raining. They’ll call it. We’ll lose.
April 25th, 2010 at 10:09 pm
Thanks Cledus for the visit. Maybe the rain won’t last but my guess is neither will you. I’ll be ok. Heh…maybe we’ll win. Yea, your right. No we won’t.

*you’RE
April 25th, 2010 at 10:13 pm
JFK
MLK
Obama
Melvin Wine
Tommy Hanson
Just in case you were wondering.
April 25th, 2010 at 10:14 pm
And…where pray tell am I?
April 25th, 2010 at 10:16 pm
tied with many at no. 6. A bad finish by Hanson could give you the big jump up.
April 25th, 2010 at 10:16 pm
Oh no. Poor Javy got beat up today.
April 25th, 2010 at 10:18 pm
Sorry to hear that.
April 25th, 2010 at 10:19 pm
I’ll proudly take #6. You think the’ll finish the game so we can lose outright?
April 25th, 2010 at 10:24 pm
weather looks bad..I bet they call it. Go Dumplins!
April 25th, 2010 at 10:25 pm
DOB says they have to wait 60 or 90 minutes before they can call it. Call me crazy but I hope they get to finish.
April 25th, 2010 at 10:26 pm
I’m gonna watch Hoarders. It makes me feel better about my OCD tendancies.
April 25th, 2010 at 10:30 pm
Now DOB says minimum 30 minutes. It’s over.
April 25th, 2010 at 11:00 pm
Drown myself in sorrow, and I look at what you’ve done.
But nothin’ seems to change, the bad times stay the same,
And I can’t run.
Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel,
Like I been tied to the whipping post
Tied to the whipping post,
Tied to the whipping post,
Good Lord, I feel like I’m dyin’

KJ 7 HR.
April 25th, 2010 at 11:01 pm
I hate to disappoint TCC, but little cheer to spread with tonight’s show.
April 25th, 2010 at 11:01 pm
What Will said. Chipper’s error looming large.
April 25th, 2010 at 11:02 pm
Can we get a curse word in the title of this week’s show? Come on. You could at least name it: “Show 104: #@$%!!”
April 25th, 2010 at 11:06 pm
I like the thought of a big bad swear word in the title. Not a whimpy one but a really bad one.
April 25th, 2010 at 11:08 pm
No way KJ hits all those homers were he still in ATL.
April 25th, 2010 at 11:13 pm
Well, of course not. But that’s hardly his fault, in my opinion.
April 25th, 2010 at 11:16 pm
So, Kyle Kendrick:
1st start: shelled
2nd start: shelled
3rd start: shut down Atlanta
4th start: shelled.
April 25th, 2010 at 11:17 pm
I would agree.
April 25th, 2010 at 11:23 pm
Hey, the Spurs are doing well. I forgot to pay any attention. I like the Spurs. Anybody know how far they’re expected to go?
April 25th, 2010 at 11:23 pm
New show will be up in a few minutes. An absolute crime that we don’t get to play this game out. Finding new and painful ways to lose …
April 25th, 2010 at 11:31 pm
Yeah, if we played the game out, we’d have twice this many runs.
