Steve, did you get any insider info on Moylan’s shoulder or Lowe’s elbow? I don’t want Bobby doing to Venter’s shoulder what he has done to Moylan’s shoulder. I mean, doesn’t a shoulder injury on a pitcher scream overuse. I find this troubling for Moylan because he started pitching relatively late in his career. I think he originally came over as a SS before being converted to a reliever. Wasn’t 2007 his first professional season as a pitcher? When I think of shoulder injuries on pitchers I think of guys like Smoltz who throw really hard and pitch forever, not a guy who has only been coming out of the bullpen for a few years.

He was a pitcher in the WBC, which is where he was scouted by the Braves and eventually signed. So as far back as that, he was a reliever. That was 2006. You have to figure to make the Australia team as a reliever he had to have been doing it for some period of time before that.

Yes Ma’am. Actually I’m just trying to confuse the baseball gods.

Deadspin still has up the hysterical prank LaRoche played on fellow ex-#Brave Kelly Johnson in Arizona http://bit.ly/b4LQmc
Funny.

#106 – NICE. Like “The Outfield” song isn’t lame enough… Too bad April Fool’s is just pre-season and they can’t do that at some point in late-season to everybody, every year.

Nate, re your #101 – I don’t have anything about Lowe that wasn’t reported in the AJC or braves.com. I was standing at Lowe’s locker during his impromptu press conference about it where he seemed frustrated/exasperated about the whole thing. Not in a whiny or diva-ish way. Just like a guy who wants to be able to perform and help the team but is limited because of this elbow issue.
And I didn’t even see Moylan or hear anyone talking about him.

They can take our lives, but they’ll never take our Freeman

Curt, Bub is going to wet his pants when he sees that. Good one!
September 1st, 2010 at 3:32 pm
Damn! How extra exciting is tonight’s game all of the sudden with Freeman getting the start?
September 1st, 2010 at 6:10 pm
Let Freeman ring!
(Curt’s was better – for a change.)

Frederick’s STARTING?
DAMN you, Lit Crit! Looks like I didn’t miss him getting a hit just yet. How’s he looked at the plate?
September 1st, 2010 at 8:18 pm
I understand that it’s the Mets and all, but this offense looks like it can do something.
Mara – thanks for the link.
September 1st, 2010 at 8:19 pm
Did I miss any gossip? I mean, is Freeman starting some kind of thing? Two slugging 1B and we’re starting the rookie? I love it, but it’s surprising. What an aggressive year for Wren and Bobby: the moves “against” Nate, KK, and Glaus. Starting Heyward out of the gate. Mike Minor’s promotion. It’s Opposite World.

Bub – he’s ripped two hard shots (up the middle and to 3rd) that they made good plays on. But he’s clearly not overmatched in any way.
September 1st, 2010 at 8:21 pm
Thanks, Steve. I’m giddy. Does he look good at the bag?
September 1st, 2010 at 8:23 pm
Dangit.
September 1st, 2010 at 8:38 pm
Oh yea Bub…he looks VERY good at the plate.
September 1st, 2010 at 8:40 pm
Bub – it’s been pretty basic stuff for him at 1st tonight. No issues to speak of.
September 1st, 2010 at 8:47 pm
Bub is haaaaappy.
Way to go, Freddie. Love it.
September 1st, 2010 at 8:48 pm
Actually Bub, he looks 12 but that out at 1st just now was pretty sweet.
