JC, I was watching Hudson’s start prior to this one on TV, and I don’t remember him touching 93 or 94 on the TV gun. Basically 90-91 the whole time, if memory serves. But my memory could be misleading me.

On Hudson’s velocity. I followed the game on Gameday, and his speed was down when he was getting pounded. I saw maybe one or two pitches at 91 at the start of the inning, but most of his fastballs were in the 80s—sometimes the low-80s. The first start after the “low-velocity start” he was hitting 93-94, consistently. I am worried about an injury.

Which raises the point: Hampton on coming back from Rehab: ‘I said “No, No No”…

my panthers go stewart (OH MY he’s a BEAST) and traded away 3 picks (one of them a 1st rounder next year…sheeesh people want to win now) and jesus’ jock strap for #19 where we picked…

Otah…

when Phillips was still on the Board as well as a few other ones (Brohm for one)…i know Tackle is a need, but jesus, Otah’s not nearly that good due to the fact that he HATES football.

haha…

Sam Baker and Matt Ryan. HAHAHAHA. come on, Baker is soft and can’t run block and the jury’s gonna be out on Ryan until the day he retires. sorry falcon fans, you’ve got 4-5 years before you’re competitive again…don’t worry, my panthers look like they’re going down this path soon as well.

anyway…braves losing a 1 run game is like amy whinehouse slapping some guy on a london street corner: it was bound to happen and it makes for good press.

Lillibridge struck out well over 1oo times last year, so I was not surprised by his debut.

Otherwise, the Matt Ryan pick had the singular advantage of making me forget the Braves game. Its just one more reason why I have come to believe that the Falcons will not get much better until they get a new owner….

It would be nice if we could take 2 out of 3 at Shea…

Wait, Redman gave up 10 runs in the first inning and still went 6 innings? Wow.

But, I would certainly keep Schreiber over Resop.

So, I suppose Lilli was not on the 40-man and so someone had to be DFA’ed to make room?

Meh. Schrieber’s no great shakes, and it’s not like many teams have spots on the 40-man just lying around at this point in the year.

Regarding the whole lineup thing, in a Strat-O-Matic world, I’d probably go with:

KJ
Chipper
Escobar
McCann
Tex
Frenchy
Diaz/Kotsay
Pitcher
Kotsay/Blanco

‘Course, with the lineup the Braves have, you can basically line the top 6 and bottom 3 up any way you want and it’ll produce a ton of runs.

Yeah. Schreiber wasn’t released, but he won’t clear waivers and someone else will pick him up.
