16 Jun
“General malaise” is a symptom of altitude sickness game thread: June 16: Braves at Rockies
I was going to try to find something really depressing for this horrible one-game makeup, but yesterday’s entry has already been named the most depressing rock song of all time. So here’s a song that makes me feel general malaise.
If there’s no recap tonight, that may be because I went to sleep or it may be because the internet is still out at my house.
Malaise…Atlanta Braves…there’s a Jimmy Carter joke in there somewhere.
June 16th, 2008 at 3:15 pmTony: “The problem with KJ’s numbers is that he is so streaky”
Honest question:
Would you rather have a player who in 150 games played hit .300/.400/.500 and 30 homeruns but had prolonged hot and cold streaks or a player who in 150 games played hit .250/.350/.400 and 15 homeruns and was very consistent week to week?
June 16th, 2008 at 3:15 pmFrom previous thread:
…we play the Rockies, Rangers and Mariners. On paper you would think that we may do well. However, we got swept by the Reds. The Rangers offense scares me a little in that park. The Mariners…they just got swept by the Nationals at home, so surely we can do the same. Can’t we?
June 16th, 2008 at 3:18 pmI think the Mariners are in Atlanta so that should help. And, I saw the Nationals-Mariners series on TV. The Mariners truly are dreadful.
June 16th, 2008 at 3:26 pmDan,
If Kelly could put us those numbers you listed, in the hot and cold category I would be thrilled. I think b/c Kelly was a corner outfielder, and when he’s hot he’s really good…I’m just expecting too much from him. I at least thought he would be a.300 hitter. Kelly’s good, I just thought at this point he would be very good.
June 16th, 2008 at 3:26 pmNEWS ALERT:
Tiger Woods might be an okay golfer. Mercy…if I can quote Joe Simpson.
June 16th, 2008 at 3:34 pmWe need more professional sports in which there are athletes named “Rocco.”
June 16th, 2008 at 3:42 pmWow…all three N. Carolina Tarheels are returning to school. Where there is your preseaon #1 in college basketball.
June 16th, 2008 at 3:50 pmYeah, i think Tiger Woods may have figured out this golf thing. I think he may have a future in the sport even.
June 16th, 2008 at 3:59 pmYeah, who figures a “sudden death” playoff between a “Rocco” and a “Tiger” is describing golf?
June 16th, 2008 at 4:01 pmBy the way, Mac, love the title of the thread.
June 16th, 2008 at 4:13 pmWTF
http://mlb.mlb.com/mediacenter/index.jsp#20080616
Is this game not going to be carried by MLB Radio?
June 16th, 2008 at 4:44 pmBavasi fired. There goes the worst GM in baseball… I mean, it take a special kind of lunacy to think that Carlos Silva and Jarrod Washburn (or Jeff Weaver; or Brad Wilkerson; or Richie Sexson… the list goes on and on…) would make you anything but hittable. One of my best friends is a Mariners fan, and somewhere out there, he’s celebrating.
June 16th, 2008 at 4:48 pmNevermind. They now have links to the Rockies and Braves broadcasts.
June 16th, 2008 at 4:57 pmDarn, I guess we can’t take anymore Sorianos or Campillos off their hands.
June 16th, 2008 at 5:25 pmI’m gonna miss Bill Bavasi.
June 16th, 2008 at 5:39 pmWang out at least 10 weeks, probably for the rest of the season.
If a bad homerun call at Yankees stadium got baseball to kneejerk and add very limited instant replay, what’s this going to do? Are we going to be subjected to a week of ESPN and radio talking-heads demanding the NL adopt the DH rule?
June 16th, 2008 at 5:42 pmIf nothing else, this injury allowed us to see headlines like “Yankees pull Wang”.
June 16th, 2008 at 6:00 pmI can’t wait to get replay for ball and strike calls. Maybe they can encourage fan participation* (read: staring at the jumbotron) by allowing them to vote on which way they think a call should go via their mobile phones. Maybe the official wireless provider of major league baseball could design a special phone that would allow the user to push a button on the back of the phone to vote without having to take the phone out of there ear while waving into the TV camera.
Chip: It looks like 98% of the fans here at Turner Field think that was a ball.
June 16th, 2008 at 6:04 pmThe Lemmer: When I was playing, a ball was a pitch that was out of the strikezone.
Ok, who is behind the Jeff B Francoeur blog?
June 16th, 2008 at 6:06 pmI love the interests section
To be fair, the Braves have been bitten by some abhorrent home run calls. And Bobby Cox, I recall, called for something like instant replay three years ago… I think he did, anyway. But even if he didn’t, this new system in no way leaves balls and strikes up to replay challenges. Come on now. I think it’s a good idea.
June 16th, 2008 at 6:16 pmBobby Cox is certainly no proponent for instant replay of any kind.
June 16th, 2008 at 6:20 pm“Denver — Good news is finally coming for the back of the Braves bullpen. Mike Gonzalez will re-join the Braves Tuesday in Texas and is ready to be activated from the disabled list on Wednesday, manager Bobby Cox said.”
June 16th, 2008 at 6:22 pmOk, who is behind the Jeff B Francoeur blog?
I love the interests section
It’s me and thank you. I’ll update it again sometime tonight.
http://www.jeffbfrancoeur.blogspot.com/
June 16th, 2008 at 6:24 pmI think we should just get extra umpires to sit on top of the foul poles to make the “boundary” calls. I’m really not interested in introducing machines to the game. Baseball is a game for human beings and should be governed by them. Errors in umpire judgement are part of the game and I don’t so much mind that. The player/manager/umpire interactions add entertainment value to the game.
June 16th, 2008 at 6:32 pmThe ‘favorite movies’ section is amusing too.
June 16th, 2008 at 6:56 pmSnit for brains did it again
June 16th, 2008 at 7:16 pmFire Snitker.
June 16th, 2008 at 7:16 pmhey, with Frenchy coming up, I’d have sent him too.
June 16th, 2008 at 7:17 pmKelly was out by 10 feet
June 16th, 2008 at 7:18 pmand he would have been 90 feet away after Frenchy struck out.
June 16th, 2008 at 7:19 pmif Tex hadnt of swung at a terrible 3-1 pitch and then taken a boarderline 3-2 pitch, we would’ve scored anyway
June 16th, 2008 at 7:19 pmThat’s pretty awful… two walks and a hit and no runs in an inning.
June 16th, 2008 at 7:21 pmtrue
June 16th, 2008 at 7:21 pmJair looks a lot better.
Should fall down stairs more often.
June 16th, 2008 at 7:23 pmI think his arm was just tired.
Well, there’s some more typical Francoeur. God, he sucks.
June 16th, 2008 at 7:25 pmHey, Frenchy didn’t strike out. That should make for a nice blog entry.
June 16th, 2008 at 7:26 pmIt’s cool how Blanco understands that the point of a bunt isn’t to make an out.
June 16th, 2008 at 7:28 pmgood 8 pitch ab from Jair, how many did Frenchy see?
June 16th, 2008 at 7:31 pmTex = Cerano
“he can only hit the straight ball”
June 16th, 2008 at 7:48 pmI think even I could do quite well with this strike zone.
June 16th, 2008 at 7:48 pmI just want to say a special thanks to the Braves for not ending my baseball season by batting Francoeur 3rd on Friday night.
June 16th, 2008 at 7:53 pmPRADO!
June 16th, 2008 at 7:53 pmlast 13 innings
offense – 0 runs
pitching – 3 runs
June 16th, 2008 at 7:59 pmBTW, who did we send back to make room for Morton?
June 16th, 2008 at 8:00 pmSoriano went on the DL.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:01 pmSoriano to the DL for Morton call up, here’s our recent moves
http://atlanta.braves.mlb.com/team/transactions.jsp?c_id=atl
our offense sucks
June 16th, 2008 at 8:03 pmThat’s crazy. I figured they’d rather keep an injured Soriano on the roster than Stockman.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:04 pmWow. How many innings has it been since we scored a run?
June 16th, 2008 at 8:06 pmMaybe they can get a hit off some reliever, Jimenez is at 72 pitches after 4.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:07 pmUnless we begin our middle inning “swing at the first pitch” strategy.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:11 pmdid anyone just notice the 2nd base ump clapping after the 1-2 pitch was called a ball?
June 16th, 2008 at 8:11 pmNice to get out of that without giving up a run.
But, I still think we are going to have to score to win this game.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:13 pmBUNT TIME!
June 16th, 2008 at 8:15 pmhow about a blanco steal and then a Jair sac?
June 16th, 2008 at 8:15 pmWell, obviously now Escobar should bunt.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:16 pmOh, and I just bet that Chip said “good bunt” on the radio.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:17 pmThe excitement of an Atlanta Braves’ bunt.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:17 pmI like the way Yunel hits the ball up the middle. He does that consistently.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:19 pmGood job Yesco. Made him throw 6 more pitches, too.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:19 pm@52, I noticed that too. WTF?
June 16th, 2008 at 8:20 pmJoseph… If you don’t have any runners at third base with less than two out — and the Braves have not — it doesn’t really matter if you strike out or fly out or whatever, unless you ground into a double play. Outs are outs.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:21 pmJust noticed both Jones’es hitting .400 on the nose as of right now.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:21 pmFrancoeur OBP: .300
June 16th, 2008 at 8:21 pmDo they really think that if they keep saying that fans love interleague play that makes it true?
June 16th, 2008 at 8:23 pmFinally took ball 4.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:23 pmI really get worried when a pitcher spends this much time running the bases. Throw in his ankle, and…
June 16th, 2008 at 8:23 pmGood at-bat by Kelly
June 16th, 2008 at 8:23 pmAwesome AB, KJ!
Sign that he is coming out of his slump?
I do not think they will ealk Chipper, here.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:24 pmWHOOOO!!!!!!!
June 16th, 2008 at 8:26 pmChippah!
June 16th, 2008 at 8:26 pmSee, that really should be an error, though they’ll never call it. No way Escobar scores with one out on Hawpe’s arm.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:26 pmChipper saw the .300s in the near distance and came back to life.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:27 pmF*ck your “good outs”, Simpson.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:27 pmThe Rockies’ radio broadcasters are saying that Hawpe has been charged with an error.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:29 pmThey should have ealked Chipper and taken a double play from Tex.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:29 pmHit and error?
Does Chipper get two RBI?
June 16th, 2008 at 8:29 pmCome on Tex, just get the run in.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:30 pmChipper gets only 1 rbi.
Man, Tex is starting to irritate me.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:30 pmnope just one rbi
June 16th, 2008 at 8:30 pmSingle and an error, Chipper gets one RBI.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:31 pmHow is Tex still hitting .273? It seems like his BA is much lower than that.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:31 pm110 pitches for Jimenez, if we’re lucky he goes out for one more.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:33 pmGameday is saying that the error allowed KJ to third, but not Yumel to home. 2 RBI.
Not that Gameday is infallible.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:33 pmThey changed the scoring: Chipper with 2 rbi.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:34 pmthey changed the official scoring, its 2 rbi now
June 16th, 2008 at 8:34 pmI learned it from Joe, who is infallible.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:34 pmJair tiring?
June 16th, 2008 at 8:39 pmOh man! This is gold.
Interests
* Hannah Montana
June 16th, 2008 at 8:41 pm* aggressiveness
* “In my own words” series
* pregame interviews
* smiling and popularity.
JJ with 65 pitches through 5 and looking pretty good. If he was just having a tired arm he should skip a start now and then. Bennett could start those.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:42 pm11.25 ERA?
This guy will shut us down.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:43 pmFrom my blog:
http://i29.tinypic.com/dyx5ki.jpg
I mean, Francoeur’s OBP is under .300 now I believe.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:43 pmGregor’s OBP is above .300.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:47 pmNo squeeze!
June 16th, 2008 at 8:48 pmWe’ll take that. Way to go, Jair.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:49 pmThe difference between Jair Jurrjens and Jeff Francoeur: Jair Jurrjens just worked a 3-0 count.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:49 pmGlad to see Jair’s ankles ok…
of course if he stays out on the bases too long he could resprain it on a pebble in the infield.
Get those ducks off the pond!
June 16th, 2008 at 8:49 pmWow, that reliever looks pretty wild out there.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:50 pmYesco really could have done more with that pitch. I think he was surprised it was a strike.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:53 pmOh, gawdammit…
June 16th, 2008 at 8:54 pmGee, it looks like the Braves are still allergic to having the bases loaded.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:54 pmHope that doesn’t come back to bite the Braves.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:55 pmFlipping between the Braves & the Dawgs is making me go bug-eyed.
Go Dawgs!
June 16th, 2008 at 8:57 pmI can’t imagine why you’d think signing Hampton was a disaster, Joe.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:57 pmNice.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:58 pmLive by the sword, die by the sword. Good thing they can hit into double plays too.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:59 pmAny time we can make it through Holiday and Helton without allowing a run, it’s real nice.
June 16th, 2008 at 8:59 pmJorge Julio in to close out a 4-0 lead for Richmond and gives up a first pitch double and then a 5 pitch walk.
Nice to know he’s there if we need him.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:00 pmIs there any good reason KJ is hitting 100 points higher when he bats 6th or 7th?
June 16th, 2008 at 9:03 pmJorge Julio is a poor man’s Armando Benitez.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:04 pmSample size, maybe, Parish? I dunno… it’s weird.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:05 pmApparently Chipper isn’t slumping any more.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:06 pmI don’t mind the Julio signing. He is at AAA, not blocking anyone. And I trust Gus Hansen more than McDowell. If we get anything out of him, its buffo
June 16th, 2008 at 9:06 pmBecause KJ is streaky as hell and was on a hot streak during the period that he had gotten moved down in the order?
June 16th, 2008 at 9:06 pmCan’t help but notice a few of those interests on the Francoeur blog sounded a bit familiar…
June 16th, 2008 at 9:06 pmIll take a streaky KJ over this crap that Tex and Frenchy have been doing all season, these two are killing our offense.
tex, prove me wrong here
June 16th, 2008 at 9:08 pm3 more k’s tonight Tex, your garbage
June 16th, 2008 at 9:09 pmAt least Tex didn’t hit into a double play.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:09 pmThe only thing I can think of is that KJ might be more aggressive later in the order.
At 1 or 2, he is thinking about getting on in front of Chipper and Tex. At 6 or 7, he could be thinking just about hitting, getting runners to score instead of leaving it up to the pitcher.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:09 pm118 — not exactly silencing his critics (csg), though
June 16th, 2008 at 9:10 pmMcCann should have hit that ball to China
June 16th, 2008 at 9:10 pmGood job Frenchy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 16th, 2008 at 9:11 pmFrancoeur?
June 16th, 2008 at 9:11 pmWow.
That was embarrassing for Holliday.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:12 pmWhat happened to Holliday?
June 16th, 2008 at 9:12 pmthat’s definitely blog entry worthy
June 16th, 2008 at 9:13 pmNice play by Quintanilla to save the run.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:13 pmI’ll take the double, but almost not lowering your average by going 1 for 4 still isn’t cool.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:14 pmhe basically dove to try and make the catch, but the ball was about 5 feet away from him and already past him and the ball went to the wall
June 16th, 2008 at 9:14 pmAnyway, I know I talk too much about what’s an error, but if you screw up, it’s an error. If you REALLY screw up, it’s a double. Or there, if two guys screw up, it’s a triple.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:17 pmnice we just let a single turn into a triple, good job Jeff
June 16th, 2008 at 9:17 pmKind of a soft hit for a triple.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:17 pmHas anyone ever gone from a legitimate gold glove winner to the worst regular right fielder in the majors in one season?
June 16th, 2008 at 9:18 pmDo we still have Phil Stockman?
June 16th, 2008 at 9:19 pmno but Acosta and Ohman are warming up
June 16th, 2008 at 9:20 pmFrenchy should join the 21st century (thanks, Hank) and have someone field for him. He has enough to do at the plate. NO WAY that so much should be required of a professional athlete.
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3446851
June 16th, 2008 at 9:20 pmPhil who?
June 16th, 2008 at 9:20 pmWHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:22 pmJusting joining the gaame–this is more like it…
June 16th, 2008 at 9:23 pmI wonder if Chipper ever played wide reciever.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:23 pmWhat a play by Chipper!
Those last two outs came in a hurry.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:24 pmThat man-crush on JJ is coming back.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:24 pmNice to pitch out of that, JJ.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:25 pmThis Dawgs game’s getting dicey in the 9th.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:25 pmThe Rockies failed to score with a runner on third and nobody out–seems vageuly familiar…
June 16th, 2008 at 9:25 pmSteinbrenner can shove it.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:25 pmWhat is doubly impressive is that Jurrjens is having this kind of game in Coors.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:27 pmHow ’bout them Dawgs!
June 16th, 2008 at 9:29 pmI frickin’ knew the Wang injury would bring the DH crap back. If it had been another team, like the Royals, it wouldn’t get mentioned.
Just like Delgado’s non-homerun at Yankee stadium that got the instant replay ball rolling, does anyone believe if it was a Mariners-Pirates interleague game it would have been mentioned more than once on ESPN?
June 16th, 2008 at 9:30 pm146 — Apparently such a phrase can be appropriate for so many situations and across generations.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:30 pmJJ!
June 16th, 2008 at 9:33 pmWell, gosh, Hank, if they’re athletes maybe they should be required to play the game you pay them to play.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:34 pmwe’ll I dont like the DH at all, but both leagues should be playing the same game and that’s not happening right now
June 16th, 2008 at 9:36 pmI bet Boyer pitches the 9th
June 16th, 2008 at 9:37 pmYou know I’m always trying to think of new ways to play with player usage, and thinking of the last couple of nights… First, Campillo looks tremendous after going six days between starts with a short relief appearance in between. Now Jurrjens looks great (though I think he’s tiring) on long rest. How about having a staff largely made up of swingmen? One or two anchors make 35 starts, and the other 92 are divided between five guys who make 16-20 starts and about the same number of relief appearances?
June 16th, 2008 at 9:37 pmWhen Helton is like 0-for-3, you know he is getting a hit.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:37 pmSteinbrenner’s quotes:
This is always a concern of American League teams when their pitchers have to run the bases and they’re not used to doing it.
So, who has the unfair advantage? We throw Greg Norton as our DH while teams have David Ortiz and Travis Hafner on the bench, or a pitcher has to act like an athlete and do a bit of… running?
Pitchers have enough to do without having to do that.
You mean they have enough to do every 5th day. They can’t handle running, at most, 360 feet?
They need to grow up and join the 21st century.
How is the DH the 21st century? First of all, it’s been around since the 20th century, and second, to join the “21st century” means you remove most of the strategy from the game and make your pitcher less of an athlete?
Mr. Steinbrenner, you’re an idiot.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:38 pmWay to go, Jair.
Dan,
The 2 HR calls at Yankee Stadium were wrong (for A-Rod & Delgado). I was at the game where the A-Rod HR was called a double. The ump was the only person in the whole stadium who didn’t see the ball correctly. It was such a bad call that Yankee fans weren’t even mad—they were laughing. (BTW, I’ve never seen A-Rod so demonstrative about a bad call.)
Ever since the Braves got hosed out of a game in Washington a few years ago—Brian Jordan, remember?—I’ve thought that replay for HR calls is a good thing.
Who cares what prompts MLB to finally get it right?
June 16th, 2008 at 9:38 pmIts a shame that J-man won’t get to finish the game–but what a great start….
June 16th, 2008 at 9:39 pmGrain of Salt Dept.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:39 pmHank Steinbrenner is a horseracing guy, and he wasn’t even very good at that.
Maybe the pitching change stat thing is because…Bobby changes pitchers after every batter in blowout games?
June 16th, 2008 at 9:40 pmBraves lead the majors in pitching changes, but have one of the lowest ERAs in the National League.
Cox has gone Tony LaRussa on us.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:41 pmGlad to see no Grybos there for Jair.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:41 pmwow. It’s like the Yankees and their brass go out of their way to make everyone hate them.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:43 pmYeah–Ohman gets the job done….
June 16th, 2008 at 9:44 pmhow about a golden sombrero here Tex
June 16th, 2008 at 9:44 pmGreat game, Tex. Really helping the roto squad tonight.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:45 pmI hope the Braves get Tex’s night on tape and show it to Boras when it matters…
June 16th, 2008 at 9:46 pmInstant replay is not the right thing. Even the limited stuff that MLB is proposing (only on homerun and down-the-line calls, would be done in a central office and only the umpires could decide when to use, teams/managers don’t get a say) to shut the talking-heads up isn’t good. Just my opinion.
Talking head: “If baseball doesn’t adopt instant replay by tomorrow, it’s done. Over. Fans will leave. Ballparks will empty. Baseball will collapse and soccer will become America’s new pasttime. Dooooooooomed.”
June 16th, 2008 at 9:47 pmYa know, Wren’s acquisitions are looking good.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:47 pmOhman, Kotsay, Infante..
And Ridgeway looks decent for Aybar given we were never going to give him a chance.
Now would be a good time to start selling. Let’s send the Yankees Hudson for all their minor leaguers
June 16th, 2008 at 9:48 pmThis inning may have it all. So far, maple bats splintering and Francoeur going the other way for a hit.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:49 pmAnd now – “adding on.”
June 16th, 2008 at 9:52 pmBrandon!–Wish Holliday had fielded Chipper’s ball the same way….
June 16th, 2008 at 9:53 pmClutch hit, Brandon.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:53 pmwow, Holliday looking very ‘Brave-corner-fielder-like’ tonght
June 16th, 2008 at 9:53 pmMatt Holliday Presents A Tribute to Ryan Klesko!
June 16th, 2008 at 9:53 pmhah…youre right..joe’s definitely sporting wood.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:53 pmWe’ll still see one of Acosta and Boyer to end the game though.
More bad outfielding by the Rockies.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:54 pmHolliday makes Norton look like Andruw Jones
June 16th, 2008 at 9:54 pmI’d say the Brandon Jones Showcase has been successful thus far.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:54 pmKlesko was bad, but he wasn’t Holliday
June 16th, 2008 at 9:56 pmonly two goats in this game
Snitker and Tex (0-5, and the sombrero)
KJ has 3 walks and 2 runs, so his 0-fer is still very productive
June 16th, 2008 at 9:56 pmDan,
Who cares what talking heads say?
If you like, we can disagree on whether or not getting the calls right is a good idea.
FWIW, the NHL reviews every goal from a central office in Toronto and generally it works very well, much better than if they didn’t have it at all. Unlike the NFL, the teams have nothing to do with it.
This is not a slippery slope. Balls & strikes are not next. This is: HR or no HR; foul or fair—ball kicked up chalk or it didn’t. Not difficult to digest. Easy to implement. I can’t understand why anyone would be against it.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:57 pmwe just cant find ways to get Ring or Stockman out there
June 16th, 2008 at 9:57 pmI would still take Holliday as my right fielder.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:58 pmI would enjoy hearing the story behind the firing of the strength coach.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:59 pmGonzo is back tomorrow night
June 16th, 2008 at 9:59 pmwho am I?
7.1 IP 2H 0ER 4BB 9K
June 16th, 2008 at 9:59 pmrest easy guys…Boyer’s warming up.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:59 pmI wonder who we send down, probably a guy on the bench or Brandon jones. 14 pitchers!!!
June 16th, 2008 at 10:00 pmStockman is not even warming up now.
Let him pitch, Bobby. Some time?
June 16th, 2008 at 10:00 pmcsg,
You are Phil Stockman
June 16th, 2008 at 10:00 pmStockman will get to pitch!
In Richmond this weekend
June 16th, 2008 at 10:01 pmPretty sure Stockman could have finished this up…
June 16th, 2008 at 10:02 pmBalls & strikes are not next.
Well, no. Safe/out calls on the bases would be next.
June 16th, 2008 at 10:03 pm#187 – Someone should ask DOB about that firing.
June 16th, 2008 at 10:04 pmhere’s the link…who will be the odd man out?

has a 6-run lead ever felt so unsafe??
June 16th, 2008 at 10:06 pmA meltdown in progress?
June 16th, 2008 at 10:06 pmIt’d be Ridgway, surely.
We won’t have 4 lefties in the pen.
June 16th, 2008 at 10:07 pmDan,
June 16th, 2008 at 10:09 pmYou don’t know that.
Kelly caught it!!! Yay!!!
June 16th, 2008 at 10:09 pmMeanwhile, the Phils won and the Mets and Fish are winning.
June 16th, 2008 at 10:11 pmCards win/play?
June 16th, 2008 at 10:14 pmRecap is up.
June 16th, 2008 at 10:22 pmRon Gant isn’t a smart guy.
June 16th, 2008 at 10:22 pmI think someone tried to ask him, but DOB said it was a conflict of interest or something like that. He did say it was bad and the Braves made a quick decision.
