Show #202: The Braves Continue March Toward Postseason
The impact of Medlen. Praising Minor. Worrying about Hanson. Comparing this September to last September.

Such a great win. I’ll be honest, I didn’t think they were gonna pull it off. Go Braves!

Very cool. Freeman’s GIDP ended last season’s hopes. This year his walkoff puts us in with time to spare. Happy for him; he’s a good kid.

I was at the Ted last night. What a great moment. And I know it’s easy to say now, but once that passed ball sent Chipper to third, the whole place could feel the wheels coming off for Dunn and that really good things were about to happen. That, and my rally cap was particularly strong last night.
And how about all of the post game celebration in the clubhouse and out on the field? So great. I think back to all the post game celebrations in the early and mid-2000′s and last night is so above and beyond on the excitement meter it’s got to bode well for the post season.

We as Atlanta Braves players and fans went the playoffs for 15 years straight and I’ll admit that even I got a little spoiled. I realize that the MLB regular season is the hardest regular season in professional sports and I think we all appreciate it even more since we’ve only made it through once in the last 6 years.

Did y’all see the company Freddie and Meds entered via that game? The other players in baseball history who’ve sent their teams to the PS with a bomb includes Hank Aaron in 1957.
But Meds’s deal might be even better; the all-time leader in team wins whenever they start the game with 22. The only others with 20-22 in a row: Whitey Ford, Carl Hubbell, Lefty Grove, and Roger Clemens.
Between that game, Chipper’s tour, and Kimbrel’s historical dominance, there’s some good memories. Wish Beachy were here.

Jason Heyward is a really good baseball player.
September 26th, 2012 at 9:50 pm
Give that man a Cy Young.

It’s a shame we have to lose tomorrow. A sweep would be mighty nice.

I hate Werth

The Braves basically have win every game for the rest of the season to win the division and it’s very possible. However, at the same time it’s imperative to rest guys like Chipper, Heyward and Prado. Who knows what happens.

Anyone here have tickets to the October 5 one-game playoff? If so, we should meet up prior to the game.
September 27th, 2012 at 1:14 pm
Me me me!!! Tell me when and where and I’ll be there with bells in!
September 27th, 2012 at 1:21 pm
*in. Not in.
September 27th, 2012 at 1:24 pm
Crap! On on on on. Geez.
September 27th, 2012 at 3:04 pm
The promise of Leah with bells in is super-tempting

Watching this game, I can’t help but feel some lingering faith in Hanson. I think it’s like how some amputees feel their missing limbs.
September 27th, 2012 at 8:23 pm
Amazing how a 2-0 Hanson deficit feels so much different than a 2-0 deficit with anyone else.
Nats/Phils 3-3
September 27th, 2012 at 8:24 pm
Going with Todd Helton
September 27th, 2012 at 8:30 pm

Thank the Phils for pitching Tyler Colvin tonight
September 27th, 2012 at 9:07 pm
Cloyd. Even better
September 27th, 2012 at 10:43 pm
Is there an ABT meet-up happening before or during tomorrow night’s game?
