Show #146: The Braves Pieces Come Together
A stunning 6 – 1 week. Teheran’s debut. Lowe trade rumors. And a dearth of steals.

Imagine the fear Hamels is feeling with Uggla, Freeman and Gonzo coming up in 6th. And if someone gets on, he will have to face Mather.

Hi John J – welcome to the board.
And how about Mather tonight? Fantastic.
May 13th, 2011 at 9:38 pm
I was right, he should have been fearful.
May 13th, 2011 at 9:39 pm
Mather seemed like a good pickup (versatile) and may very well pan out

I hate umpires.

NOBODY gets to talk about what a good average the team has with runners in scoring position until we actually GET ANOTHER HIT WITH RUNNERS IN SCORING POSITION!!!

And will somebody on the TV staff PLEASE tell Brian Jordan how to properly pronounce the Philly catcher’s name…

What game is Chip watching? “Linebrink made a good pitch”? If you had been watching, McCann was set up outside and he delivered the ball inside… The batter just happened to hit it straight at Uggla…
May 13th, 2011 at 10:45 pm
Any thoughts on when is it time to move Uggla lower in the lineup? 0-13 for McCann, Uggla and Freeman. Help!

john j – I’m with you. Just tweeted that. And will likely be a topic on Sunday’s show.
May 13th, 2011 at 10:53 pm
Get ‘em on, get ‘em over, wave to them at second and/or third… usually with the bat…
May 13th, 2011 at 10:54 pm
Aussie Kenman – re #95. You’re right. The management of his pitch count seems pretty indefensible. Forget the fact that he’s the #1 pitching prospect in ALL OF BASEBALL! and should be handled gingerly, but he’s clearly on the big club’s near term radar for this year, given his spot start last weekend. It makes no sense.

If his name is Dan Uggla when he jacks one outta the park what’s his name when he strikes out with men on base…three times…in one game.
May 13th, 2011 at 10:55 pm
I’m with Brian Jordan (I think I threw up in my mouth a little…), tell Uggla to move up on the plate. He is so quick inside, dare them to try to get one by him… They are killing him with that pitch down and away…
May 13th, 2011 at 10:56 pm
Anybody remember the last Brave’s hit-and-run that DIDN’T end up as a strike ‘em out/throw ‘em out double play?
May 13th, 2011 at 11:00 pm
#139 – Sooooo painfully true.
May 13th, 2011 at 11:32 pm
I think I figured it out…
Heyward is a Klingon and believes that “warriors do not complain about pain”…
May 13th, 2011 at 11:41 pm
Looks like Beachy may have hurt his Chipper. Not good.

Anybody bidding on Black Cracker Jerseys? Hmmm??

Prado looks like he has shin splints.
May 14th, 2011 at 6:46 pm
Fredi, speaking about Heyward:
“I asked him and he said, I can play defense, but I can’t swing the bat yet.”
I take that as a very good sign Heyward is changing his attitude. Sigh of relief.

Not so happy thought for the night … Halladay is 4-0 with a 1.26 ERA in five career appearances (four starts) against Atlanta.
May 14th, 2011 at 11:21 pm
Yes, but Freddie Freeman has a 5.000 OPS against Halladay.
(It’s true.)
May 14th, 2011 at 11:24 pm
On a more serious note, Uggla has a 1.158 OPS against him and the old man has a 1.800 OPS versus Halladay.
May 15th, 2011 at 12:20 am
Bub – it would be great to see Uggla bust out Sunday but I’ve officially grown hopeless at this point.
