Atlanta Braves II

[BigOrange15]

I agree. He says he can still reach the outer half and it prevents pitchers from coming inside as much, but it hasn't really had very good results thus far.

That may be but God help him if the pitch is even slightly off the outside of the plate. I doubt he's the first person to think of this but there is a reason no one stand that far back. He just needs to get over it and move closer to the plate.

Rain delay over now.

Pretty rough start to this one. Phils are losing as well though.

Beachy getting shelled

 

[GAVol]

Uggla hit that one like he was swinging at a slow pitch softball.

If nothing else tonight, Duggla continues to improve.

In a park like Coors Field, a 4 run lead isn't safe....

Especially since Dan Uggla will get at least one more AB.

 

[Regulator]

Been nice knowing you, Cory.

An 8 run lead probably is though.

Well, Cory is going to be sent down.

 

[volville]

And the Phils took the lead late. Not good.

 

[zjcvols]

This just shows how badly we need a RHP out of the pen.

So Pence wouldn't be a rental, correct?

2012 Lineup

CF Schafer
3B Prado
C McCann
LF Pence
1B Freeman
2B Uggla
RF Heyward
SS Gonzalez/Pastornicky

Ah, hell yeah.

If things don't change quickly, there may be a roster move to open up a slot in RF.

Apparently the Braves are willing to offer this package for Pence:

Astros Get:
Minor
Simmons
Bethancourt

Braves Get:
Pence

That would be a steal for the Braves. I would doubt that would get it done.

I think I read somewhere that he's signed through 2013 . . . which means somebody is going to have to pay dearly for him.

I've been working nights and only checking box scores. So what's up with our next great all-star, future hof right fielder? Injury wise, that is.

Torn vag, JK. He fouled a ball off his foot pretty badly, think that's the prob.

Thanks.

The Astros would probably want Delgado and Pastornicky instead of Minor and Simmons.

Actually, they'd probably want Delgado on top of that of Minor.

 

[Escape Goat]

I love Heyward, but I'm not sure if he'll ever be the player that he was billed to be.

I agree. Way to injury prone.

NO THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

Screw it. Get a good right handed reliever, and roll with what we got. Can not stand to part with such good players for basically a rental player.

Pence is under team control through 2013. He'd the perfect fit to replace Chipper. Pence is not a rental by any means.

DOB says the Braves are close to getting a RH bat.
