BBT just mentioned Heyward to DL rumor…
June 28th, 2010 at 10:36 pm
Kawakami will move to the bullpen to open spot for Jurrjens.
Per DOB. Talk amongst yourselves.

I guess it’s not a rumor. Thanks for that insider info, Steve. I was thinking the same thing. I think it’s better to shut him down for a while so he can maybe come back in MANBEAST form for the second half. I’d like to see Omar get some more starts in the outfield. Diaz has been doing well at Gwinett, too, so maybe there’s hope for him. I hope McLouth retires.

DOB just reported KK to the bullpen. And Diaz to be activated tomorrow. Wow.
June 28th, 2010 at 10:43 pm
Mara, where did you see that? Is it on the blog. I am crazy excited about Meds staying in the rotation. I wish KK would retire with McLouth.
June 28th, 2010 at 10:44 pm
Wow indeed Steve. We all got what we hoped for, but I don’t think any of us expected it.
June 28th, 2010 at 10:50 pm
I do understand the argument for Strasburg going to the All-Star game, and I agree that he is one of the best 12 pitchers in the league. I just hope he doesn’t get Huddy’s spot, which he shouldn’t.

Per BBT, there’s a rift between Torre and Dodgers on contract talks. I wouldn’t mind seeing him in a Braves uniform at the helm. Especially if he could bring Mattingly with him. Probably a long shot, though, particularly with Fredi being available.

Nate, careful what you wish for..I think KK suffers a bit from Steve Avery Syndrome AKA No run support! Sorry not to share the joy tonight but I was giving a banjo lesson (yes, I said Banjo) so stop your snickering out there! My student is gracious enough to practice her exercises while I have the tv on with sound turned down…heh heh heh! I explained to her the significance of S’Berg pitching and we took a short break in the home half of the 7th. Glorious stuff…errors and all!
I look forward to Diaz coming back. Heyward can use some time off as Chipper and McCann heat up.
I just scanned through the comments and haven’t had time to listen to the show. Go Braves!
June 28th, 2010 at 11:03 pm
Heyward to the DL according to some posters on the dark side. Haven’t seen it myself. I kind of hope so. Needs to heal.
June 28th, 2010 at 11:04 pm
No snickering Cledus…banjo is freaking awesome and so is your student! How fun that you got to stop your lesson to watch baseball!
June 28th, 2010 at 11:05 pm
Welcome to comments 100-111 Bubdylan.
We know what’s on the downlow on this website…thanks to Twitter (to answer Nate’s question).
June 28th, 2010 at 11:09 pm
lol, DOH!
This just in. We beat Strasburg!
June 28th, 2010 at 11:15 pm
Cledus, as a Tennessee man, I have mucho respecto for banjo players. The dexterity required to play that instrument is very hard to develop, and I love the sound.
June 28th, 2010 at 11:19 pm
Hudson
Hanson
Lowe
Jurrjens
Medlen
Just look at it. In all its glory. Might be bumpy for a couple weeks, but this will even out into a rockin’ rotation in the second half.
And with Minor’s promotion today – oh my goodness, I just realized: they’re doing exaclty what I said! They’re planning to keep Meds in the rotation until the # of innings gets dangerous, and then promote Minor!! I’m a genius!!!
June 28th, 2010 at 11:27 pm
I don’t understand. What do you mean “They’re planning to keep Meds in the rotation until the # of innings gets dangerous, and then promote Minor!”
June 28th, 2010 at 11:29 pm
I’m watching the bottom of the seventh. Nats look just silly.
June 28th, 2010 at 11:33 pm
Mara, Medlen only pitched (small # I can’t remember) innings last season. It’s dangerous to arm health of young pitchers to increase the load too much from one year to the next. If he pitched the typical # of innings for the rest of his starts this year, the increase could get close to 80 innings, I think. Way too much.
One way to combat that is to skip him when there’s an offday. But another perfectly good way is to get close to the desired number – but not too close, cuz you’ll still want him available for relief – and then replace him.
Voila. Mike Minor.
June 28th, 2010 at 11:42 pm
Heady Times, as Stevie says. In one day:
1. Braves beat Strasburg
2. Philles get hammered.
3. Mets get hammered.
4. Medlen in!
5. Kawakami out!
6. J-Hey to the DL
7. Diaz returns.
8. Minor promoted to AAA
Wow! I’m going to be up all night.

Hellooooo?
June 29th, 2010 at 12:16 am
Super Dee-duper baseball night fo’ shizzle. So were you terribly funny in your darkside comments? If so, I will have to go searching for the hilarious Bubdylan posts.
TS3 rocks.
June 29th, 2010 at 12:34 am
Meh. Not really. Not in an especially funny mood. But especially HAP HAP HAPPY!!!
High on some severe Braves love. What a year, and it’s not half over. Can you list the great games? This one was right up there. Steve said it right, we had a gameplan versus this kid, and it worked. Just awesome, awesome stuff.
June 29th, 2010 at 9:02 am
Bub – Love you r#119. Can you guys remember a more eventful day? And a Monday no less. I absolutely have an extra hop in my step this morning.
June 29th, 2010 at 9:05 am
Steve, no I can’t. Bub, for me, that game is number 2 behind the Brooks Conrad walk-off grand slam.
June 29th, 2010 at 9:20 am
And how about Opening Day? Or the Phillies game with the Heward/Glaus/McLouth homers? Or the Brooks squeeze against the Twins? The Glaus bottom of the ninth homer against KC? So many memorable games already this year.
