Show #184: Braves Remain in First and Take Series from Rays
A great series win in Tampa, the starting pitching, the record without Chipper and the trouble with EOF and Venters.

Mike Leake. 7 outs in a row.
The Braves don’t always suck. But when they do, they suck plenty.
Truth be told, I’m just surprised to find us tied up with them after 2.5, should be a telling bottom of the 3rd.

Wow, Minor looked good for the first batter all night just now… oh, please, please, please…
May 21st, 2012 at 8:18 pm
Sigh, homer by the pitcher. Screw.

Thank you sir, can I have another?

Minor’s given up more HR’s in the NL, third most in all of baseball. Get him OUT of here.

Third homer in a row. I hate Mike Minor.

Minor’s gotta go back to the Minors

I’d rather have JJ’s broken bat singles.

Well, so much for the argument that Minor’s struggles are mainly from pitching out of the stretch.

Only person I hate more than Minor right this moment is Derek Lowe.

Minor is at NINETY SIX pitches through 4 innings. The Reds’ batters are looking like the Braves.

Minor’s struggles ARE mainly from pitching the stretch. “I have nothing left to prove in the minors” – that’s a stretch.

Good grief, I really can’t believe this. Leake has retired ten in a row. I mean, it’s one thing for Minor to be predictably awful, but seriously, on the same night we can’t hit Mike Leake?
It can’t REALLY be the Monday thing, can it?
May 21st, 2012 at 8:45 pm
12 in a row by Leake. If he gets to 15, I’m going to smash my thumb with a hammer. I’ll send pics.
May 21st, 2012 at 8:46 pm
lol, I rarely use all caps, but I CAN NOT BELIEVE THIS SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII…..

Should we just stop watching Monday games?
May 21st, 2012 at 8:48 pm
You guys remember Mike Leake — Reds’ starting pitcher in the Brooks Conrad walk-off grand slam game. That game, Leake went 6 IP, gave up 3 runs (1 earned), 6 k, gave up 5 hits. Left the game with a 9-3 lead.
So, really, a three-run deficit is nothing. Um, yeah.

Uggla saves my thumb.

I have a theory about the Monday curse. The players are too busy pondering the points made in the new ABT podcast from the night before, so they tend to overanalyze while they’re playing.

#44, funny. I just read Hinske’s lips talking to Chipper: “Pretty sure Curt and Hammy are the same guy.”
May 21st, 2012 at 9:06 pm
#45 = awesome squared

Francisco no catcho.

Never seen anything like Livan. Somebody said he sold his soul to the devil. Looking at his Satan-skin glove, I think he made the deal and then ate him.

and 18 of his minions
May 21st, 2012 at 9:18 pm
lol.
