Braves 5, Nats 0
Atlanta Braves vs. Washington Nationals – Box Score – September 25, 2010 – ESPN.
Derek Lowe saves the season! Lowe did his thing for five innings, scattering five hits, throwing lots of pitches (103, 64 of them strikes) but somehow keeping the Nats off the board.
The Braves got an “unearned” run in the third, thanks largely to Lowe, who doubled leading off and was still there with two out after an Omar Infante groundout, an infield single by Jason Heyward, and a foulout by Martin Prado. Brian McCann grounded out to third, but the third baseman threw the ball away, allowing Lowe to score; Heyward tried to join him but was thrown out at the plate.
Actual multiple runs came in the sixth. Prado walked leading off and with one out went to second on a wild pitch. Derrek Lee hit a double to score him, and then Nate McLouth reached on an infield single. Alex Gonzalez followed with a three-run homer to make it 5-0.
Bobby decided to manage the game like it was closer than than, which… well, these guys have been worked pretty hard lately. Peter Moylan walked the leadoff man in the sixth, but got a double play to erase him. Jonny Venters walked two, struck out two, and got a groundout in the seventh. Craig Kimbrel walked a guy, threw a wild pitch, and got a strikeout in the eighth, which is just the Craig Kimbrel Experience, really. Billy Wagner, who hadn’t been worked hard but who did pitch last night, got the Atlanta Save after allowing a leadoff double but pitching around it.
Votto singles in a first inning run. Reds 1, Padres 0.
September 25th, 2010 at 3:32 pmAlabama is getting murdered by Mallet and Ingram and Richardson are getting shut down.
Ugh.
September 25th, 2010 at 3:37 pmUm… Ingram has a 54-yard TD run and Richardson hasn’t had a carry yet.
September 25th, 2010 at 3:41 pmBobby may use Hudson and Lowe on 3 days rest.
September 25th, 2010 at 3:42 pmAlabama secondary getting picked on as expected. They need their offense to control the clock more and keep Mallett off the field.
September 25th, 2010 at 3:43 pm@4 I think he has no choice.
September 25th, 2010 at 3:48 pmMinor is out of gas, and without JJ you pretty much have to go with the three days’ rest there.
September 25th, 2010 at 3:49 pmI wanted Bobby to do it.
September 25th, 2010 at 3:53 pmPadres now lead 2-1.
September 25th, 2010 at 3:59 pmVenable homer. 3-1.
September 25th, 2010 at 4:05 pmThe Wild Card is for losers.
September 25th, 2010 at 4:09 pmthese teams disagree with you
Wild-card World Series champions
September 25th, 2010 at 4:17 pm1997 Florida Marlins
2002 Anaheim Angels
2003 Florida Marlins
2004 Boston Red Sox
Why does Dusty Baker insist on hitting Orlando Cabrera at the top of the order?
September 25th, 2010 at 4:21 pmReds have tied it.
Alabama is in trouble?
September 25th, 2010 at 4:51 pmSo if we make the playoffs, are you, like, not gonna watch or something? I don’t get what your point is.
September 25th, 2010 at 4:58 pmHooooooooooooooooooooope!
September 25th, 2010 at 5:03 pmIn the last thread, Urlhix said this:
GAH. Knuckled my ass.
I felt it was worth pointing attention to.
September 25th, 2010 at 5:25 pmI hate it when I knuckle my ass.
September 25th, 2010 at 5:41 pmI’m gonna say it. Mark Ingram is the greatest player in the history of Alabama football. And we’ve had some good ones.
September 25th, 2010 at 5:44 pmwell its Mallet in his final drive vs the inexperienced Bama D
September 25th, 2010 at 5:44 pmMallett looks like he’s training to be Brett Favre.
September 25th, 2010 at 5:50 pmWow, Mallett…
September 25th, 2010 at 5:52 pmLOL with 11 in the box a receiver could have run a vertical route with Ingram just lobbing it up
September 25th, 2010 at 5:55 pmShould have thrown it to McElroy.
September 25th, 2010 at 5:57 pmI thought for sure Dix would be right in.
/heh
September 25th, 2010 at 5:58 pmballgame, huge comeback for bama
September 25th, 2010 at 5:59 pmWas @ last night and todays games…tomorrow also. Today, much better result. It’s crazy how comfortable I felt with Lowe on the mound…
BOBBY’s 2500th WIN!!!
September 25th, 2010 at 6:00 pmWhew.
September 25th, 2010 at 6:00 pmGreat game. Doubt Florida/Kentucky will be as good, but Auburn/South Carolina may be pretty dang good.
September 25th, 2010 at 6:02 pmOh, and HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Texas.
September 25th, 2010 at 6:04 pmI’ll follow the playoffs like I normally do in non-Braves winning years. If I’m around, I’ll watch the games. Certainly, if the Braves make a run I’ll smirk and “enjoy” the irony of a Bobby Cox team losing the marathon then “winning” the wind-sprints afterward. That would be funny. But no, I’m not going to invest emotionally in a playoff run by a team that’s going to lose its division by 5-8 games.
September 25th, 2010 at 6:10 pmChris Denorifa doubled in the winning run. Padres win 4-3 and stay ahead of us.
September 25th, 2010 at 6:15 pmGo Rockies.
September 25th, 2010 at 6:24 pmHelluva game in Pig Town. Wish Mallett woulda floated a couple like that last week.
September 25th, 2010 at 6:52 pmNewton is surprisingly fast.
September 25th, 2010 at 7:03 pmFanin should be removed from the team. I expect him to put the ball on the ground every play.
September 25th, 2010 at 7:15 pmApparently, Bobby Cox thinks Stan Kasten oughta be commissioner.
September 25th, 2010 at 7:37 pmI think they could do a lot worse.
September 25th, 2010 at 7:47 pmI would have never believed that I would look forward to a Derek Lowe start after the 1st half this year. With Hudson struggling now, Lowe and Hanson are the only guys I have confidence in.
September 25th, 2010 at 7:49 pmGarcia!
September 25th, 2010 at 7:54 pmI agree with Bobby. Stan Kasten is very good at what he does.
September 25th, 2010 at 7:57 pm“But no, I’m not going to invest emotionally in a playoff run by a team that’s going to lose its division by 5-8 games.”
Yeah, how can anyone here not like Selig? Without him and the wild card this season would be over.
September 25th, 2010 at 8:17 pmMac
That was truly an unearned run. Heyward’s “infield single” was a pop-up that the shortstop lost in the sun.
Sam,
In many cases the wild card is better than some of the division champs. If anything I think they should seed strictly on record regardless of division champion or wild card
September 25th, 2010 at 8:22 pmWhen did Georgia re-hire Ray Goff?
September 25th, 2010 at 8:25 pmThese MLB network announcers for the Giants game have really annoying voices. They also say dumb stuff. I’m glad the Auburn game’s back on.
September 25th, 2010 at 8:34 pmLooks like the Phils just had a September Braves-like bottom 9th. First guy walks, then 1-2-3.
September 25th, 2010 at 8:43 pmAll I can say is, I’m glad we didn’t trade for Cody Ross. I think he would have, as hard as it is, made our outfield defense worse.
September 25th, 2010 at 8:51 pmJust like that, Lowe is a 15-game winner again. The guy is a winner, A WINNER!!!
September 25th, 2010 at 8:52 pmI’m a little confused on who to root for. Can both teams lose ? Are we going for the Rockies now, at least when they are playing the Giants ? I’m not sure I can force myself to do it, but I’ll try if needed.
I’ll disagree on Cody Ross. There’s no way anybody can convince me he would be worse than Melky out there.
September 25th, 2010 at 9:30 pmCam Newton is the new Tebow.
September 25th, 2010 at 9:43 pmWe definitely should pull for the Rockies. They are 4.5 games out in the WC and 4 games behind us. They aren’t mathematically out, but they’re done.
September 25th, 2010 at 9:43 pmid be willing to try any OF’r over this bunch
September 25th, 2010 at 9:48 pmARENA BASEBALL
Rockies games are just silly.
September 25th, 2010 at 10:16 pmtulo may be having the best month ever
September 25th, 2010 at 10:23 pmRockies have tied it up. Tulowitzky with a two-out, two-run double. The man is insane. You almost knew that was going to happen before it did.
September 25th, 2010 at 10:25 pmHe didn’t miss a home run by much. As much as the announcers suck in this broadcast, the scoreboard is miked well, so you knew he missed the homer by the huge >CLANG<, which was kind of cool.
September 25th, 2010 at 10:29 pmGo Rockies!
September 25th, 2010 at 10:51 pmI like never say this, but in the bottom of the tenth with one out, Tulo at bat, and a guy who has 25 SB vs 8 CS on first, I actually would support attempting a steal.
September 25th, 2010 at 10:57 pmRocks win! Braves in better shape than two minutes ago!
September 25th, 2010 at 10:58 pmTulowitski! Back into a tie for the Wild Card with 7 games left.
September 25th, 2010 at 11:01 pmand tulo wins it with another double. madness.
September 25th, 2010 at 11:01 pmTulo again! Did I hear that guy say he has 40 RBIs in September?
September 25th, 2010 at 11:03 pmTulo, good stuff. 5 RBI, two doubles and a homer. And a walk and a single.
Nasty Nate was 2-3 with a walk today. See, he’s not the problem as long as he doesn’t have to throw to the plate.
September 25th, 2010 at 11:03 pm14HR 35RBI in Sept
September 25th, 2010 at 11:04 pm#63 – dont let that 2-3 fool you. It was 2 weak infield singles and he dropped a liner that could’ve led to a big inning
September 25th, 2010 at 11:05 pmI think it’s 15 and 40 after tonight. Yahoo shows 35 RBI’s, but it only shows 90 total, and the box score shows him with 95 after tonight. I imagine homers are the same.
September 25th, 2010 at 11:06 pmThe man is having half of a great season in one month. I wonder what the Major League record for most RBIs in a calendar month is.
September 25th, 2010 at 11:09 pm#66 – u may be right, I was going off of Yahoo. Either way he probably has more in both categories than our whole team this month
September 25th, 2010 at 11:13 pmper baseball almanac
most HR in one month
AL – Rudy York 18
NL – Sammy Sosa 20
most RBI in one month
September 25th, 2010 at 11:18 pmAL – Joe Dimaggio 53
NL – Sam Thompson 61
To answer my own question, a quick search reveals that the record for most RBIs in a month is 61, by Sam Thompson of the Phillies in August of 1894. Best I can tell, the modern record is 53, achieved by Joe DiMaggio in August 1939 and by Hack Wilson in August 1930.

Whoops. Sorry, csg. Didn’t know you’d beten me to it.
September 25th, 2010 at 11:26 pm“as we go up, we go down”.
Well, not really. Back into a tie for the WC lead, and i didn’t fully get the posters’ talk about rooting for the rockies last night, but i’m down as of tonight.
The caveat is, as long as we win.
Because, after all this, and after watching a lot of Rockies wins over the past few weeks, and having Tulo on my fantasy team, I still think they’re the NL team i’d least have us face in the postseason bar the Phillies. I’d much rather matchup with Giants, Padres or Reds. With all our records nearly identical, the matchups will surely not be decided until that last weekend.
But i’m definitely down with all three of those teams losing as much as possible. I love that the Padres face the Giants in the last series. I have tickets for Sunday for the final Braves/Phillies game. Will there still be anything to be decided? Will my tickets for the ‘first home playoff game’ evaporate? A riveting week awaits.
Go Braves,
September 25th, 2010 at 11:53 pmTDC
My gut says this team matches up well against the Reds.
September 25th, 2010 at 11:58 pm@73 Votto would destroy us.
September 26th, 2010 at 12:53 amHow bout them Auburn Tigers? That was a satisfying win – although anytime god takes 5 minutes out of his busy day to make Spurrier lose is it’s own reward.
/he threw the headset right on cue too – delicious.
September 26th, 2010 at 1:37 am74 — Their ace Cueto would be the 3rd starter on our team. Though their offense is better.
September 26th, 2010 at 3:10 am#74, it’d be Bobby Cox in the playoffs. Votto wouldn’t see a pitch to hit.
The Rockies aren’t making the playoffs. They need to overtake 2 teams out of 3 that they trail by 3.5 at least with 7 to play.
September 26th, 2010 at 5:49 amLOLnghorns.
September 26th, 2010 at 7:30 amTroy @72,
Think again on Padres / Giants. At least 1 of them will win every game when they are playing each other. We will be playing the Phillies. Although the Phillies may be resting people, their “juniors” won’t be under pressure.
The Braves problem remains winning their own games. One more today, at least 2 against the Marlins, and, somehow, 2 from the Phillies. Less than that will require some freaky things to happen with the other competitors.
September 26th, 2010 at 8:25 amIn Lexington, there’s a new name for UK’s defense:
“The Starmakers”
Sigh.
September 26th, 2010 at 9:04 amYa know, DLowe’s strong finish means there just might be some trade interest out there.
Not hatin’, just sayin’.
September 26th, 2010 at 9:05 amTrades are for winter.
Just win, guys. Just win.
September 26th, 2010 at 9:17 amNightmare fuel:
Aroldis Chapman as a starter against the Braves. I can just see McCann falling to his knees at the plate with his face in his hands after a 3 pitch K all looking going “He’s too good. He’s too good..” and having to be taken off the field and to a mental institution where he spends the rest of his life trying to figure out how to hit a LHP throwing 103mph.
September 26th, 2010 at 9:24 am@81
September 26th, 2010 at 9:26 amWithout Medlin and maybe JJ? No

If you had told me in April we’d be in the position, I’d be more than happy with that, after all, we could be the Pirates! Eric Gregg isnt behind the plate today is he? (too soon for that joke?)

In the East, alone.
@73,
I think we are going to have to play one of the West teams if we get in.
Why isn’t Lee playing? He has been hot of late.
September 26th, 2010 at 12:02 pmI hope Jason and Mac have 2 HR each in them today or the Braves are going to get shut out with that starting line up. Did Bobby forget there are only 7 games left in the season? This isn’t the time for a Sunday special white flag line up.
September 26th, 2010 at 12:28 pmThe worst news for Longhorn fans isn’t the UCLA loss. Texas is due for a down year this year after the success of the last two years.
No, the bad news for Texas is that Georgia is 0-3 in the SEC.
There’s going to be a battle to keep Muschamp from jumping to Georgia.
September 26th, 2010 at 12:40 pmThanks, McCann. Didn’t want any of that hope building up, did we?
September 26th, 2010 at 12:45 pm96, what a poor comment.
September 26th, 2010 at 12:55 pmThat McCann out was one of the hardest hit balls I’ve seen this year.
September 26th, 2010 at 12:57 pmThis continues to
September 26th, 2010 at 12:59 pmBe the unluckiest Braves
Team I’ve ever seen.
@99 I think the luck factor has just normalized, as it often does over 162. An awful lot bounced the Braves’ way this year, especially from mid-May to the All-Star break.
September 26th, 2010 at 1:00 pm97- Why? Double plays are double plays.
September 26th, 2010 at 1:01 pmRun differentials
September 26th, 2010 at 1:03 pmTell a different story.
We’ve had rotten luck.
Seven-pitch inning. Guys, your tee times aren’t until a week from tomorrow. No need to hurry quite this much.
September 26th, 2010 at 1:06 pmWhat is Melky’s contract like for next year? Can we trade him to Canada for cheap anti-inflammatories?
September 26th, 2010 at 1:07 pmMelky’s contract will probably be something like 1 yr $3 million. For someone else after we refuse to offer arbitration.
September 26th, 2010 at 1:12 pmBeachy is inspiring… pity, which is better than the contempt that most of this team merits.
September 26th, 2010 at 1:12 pm@105, We can nontender him this offseason?
September 26th, 2010 at 1:14 pmRun differential
September 26th, 2010 at 1:14 pmIsn’t the be-all, end-all.

September 26th, 2010 at 1:22 pmThe Braves have underperformed their Pythag each of the last six seasons.
September 26th, 2010 at 1:22 pmGoing to break my haiku vow — this time, intentionally — to direct a big ol’ LOL at 116.
September 26th, 2010 at 1:23 pmI know Kawakami hasn’t been very good this year, but I don’t understand what has happened that the Braves won’t use him instead of pitchers making their 2nd major league start in the heat of a pennant race the last week of the season where basically every game is a must win. Have we ever heard exactly what Kawakami did that got him in Bobby’s doghouse?

Bullpen. Luck, luck, luck.
Beachy’s going to be at about 100 pitches through four innings at this rate.
September 26th, 2010 at 1:37 pmAnd Livan probably won’t be at fifty. This is just nauseating.
September 26th, 2010 at 1:41 pmMcCann’s head isn’t a vital organ
September 26th, 2010 at 1:44 pmAAG is Livan’s bitch
September 26th, 2010 at 1:46 pmWow, we can find ways not to score.
September 26th, 2010 at 1:47 pmWatching AAG for a full year is really going to suck.
September 26th, 2010 at 1:48 pmGoodbye playoffs.
September 26th, 2010 at 1:49 pmWow. The Nats are begging us to score and we flat out refuse.
September 26th, 2010 at 1:50 pmHe shall be Livan
September 26th, 2010 at 1:53 pmAnd he shall kill playoff hopes.
He shall be Livan.
We should trade for Livan

September 26th, 2010 at 1:58 pmRICKY!
September 26th, 2010 at 1:58 pmI will not watch the Braves if AAG is the starting SS next season. I don’t care who replaces him, I don’t want to see him up there looking like an old Hispanic version of Francoeur. Everytime I see him I see what we gave up for him and it makes me literally sick to think that professional baseball people running my team can be that shortsighted.
I hate AAG.

I hope he says ten more times today when the Braves are hitting
September 26th, 2010 at 2:01 pm@143, I think he actually thinks there are 400 feet in a mile.
September 26th, 2010 at 2:04 pm144,
September 26th, 2010 at 2:05 pmWhen he says hit a mile, 9 out of 10 times it’s usually a routine flyball.
freeman is overmatched here.
September 26th, 2010 at 2:20 pmAs opposed to AAG and Melky, who are outmatched almost everywhere.
And thanks ever so much, AAG, for proving my point. Why do we even carry other shortstops if AAG plays even when we know he’s going to fail?
September 26th, 2010 at 2:21 pmAgony, you suck.
September 26th, 2010 at 2:22 pmBums
September 26th, 2010 at 2:23 pmThis is a clinic in how not to score.
September 26th, 2010 at 2:23 pmPathetic. Just pathetic. And all of this against a pitcher who can’t hit 85 for his life.
September 26th, 2010 at 2:24 pmSo how do we screw this one up?

September 26th, 2010 at 2:55 pmFarnsworthless’ mantra: you can never throw enough sliders.
September 26th, 2010 at 2:56 pmFarnsworth is just terrible.
September 26th, 2010 at 2:57 pmFarnsworth hates me more
September 26th, 2010 at 2:58 pmThan I hate Infante. I
Just want to know why.
Lovely.
September 26th, 2010 at 3:00 pmSo we pull a guy with control problems to bring in another guy with control problems. Lovely. Games are always won by loading up the bases for the other team.
September 26th, 2010 at 3:01 pmThis is all Farnsworth’s fault for trying to get cute with Willie fucking Harris.
September 26th, 2010 at 3:01 pmPredictable.
September 26th, 2010 at 3:03 pmI hate this team.
September 26th, 2010 at 3:04 pm175- That’s what the Braves have been doing for a month, Getting cute, nibbling, scared sh*tless of going right at the other team.
September 26th, 2010 at 3:04 pmI hate Bobby for
September 26th, 2010 at 3:04 pmRuining Venters. We could
Have used him next year.
And why is Venters still in the game?
September 26th, 2010 at 3:05 pmGiants up 3-0 in the 4th, by the way.
September 26th, 2010 at 3:07 pmStu is right. I also don’t see why he sat Lee to play Freeman.If anyone needed an off day, it was Prado or AAG the way he sucks against Livan. Plus, why is Franz in the game?
He needs to take more chances and force the issue some. We ht an ran some today, but let some guys try stealing. We need to try to manufacture runs or something.
Bobby owns this if we miss the playoffs.
September 26th, 2010 at 3:12 pmHe knows they won’t do it, Smitty. These guys are playing like they’re scared to death. The last thing they want to do is “force the issue.” They’re just praying that things resolve themselves.
And there’s Lee illustrating the point, never taking the bat off his shoulder.
September 26th, 2010 at 3:14 pmWhat a choke job.
September 26th, 2010 at 3:15 pmI do believe that
September 26th, 2010 at 3:18 pmGarrett Hartley will be soon
Seeking a new job.
Apparently the Saints just missed a 29 yard field goal in overtime.
September 26th, 2010 at 3:18 pmBobby owns it.
He is the one calling the signals. He is the one putting Melky in center. He is the one who brings Venters dead arm and Farnz in.
I have no idea why Freeman gets any starts. I think Bobby retired at the all star break
September 26th, 2010 at 3:18 pmThe good news is the season will be over in a week.
September 26th, 2010 at 3:19 pmAccording to Chip, we have “three outs left in the quiver.” And to think some people think he’s stupid.
September 26th, 2010 at 3:27 pmFalcons win
September 26th, 2010 at 3:29 pmSix hit batters, and we got this
September 26th, 2010 at 3:30 pmSolid approach you got there, Agony. Keep swinging at sliders two feet off the plate.
September 26th, 2010 at 3:30 pmGO FALCONS!
September 26th, 2010 at 3:31 pmI like how AAG takes a first pitch fastball down the middle and swings at a slidder nowhere near
September 26th, 2010 at 3:32 pmGuys, just forfeit the last six games if this is your level of effort. Spare yourselves the embarrassment, and spare us the agony.
September 26th, 2010 at 3:33 pmWell, Go Rockies. I am about ready for the Cox era to end.
September 26th, 2010 at 3:34 pmThis team sucks beyond belief right now.
September 26th, 2010 at 3:35 pmRecapped. Farnsworth Delenda Est.
September 26th, 2010 at 3:39 pmIf the Braves end up missing the playoffs, a large reason will be they couldn’t beat the Pirates and Nationals in September. Ugh.
