Yes, the ERA under 1.00 is not going to last all season, and one of these days he’s actually going to look mortal. The advance scouts are going to start paying a little more attention and guys are going to get a little better grip on what he’s doing the more they see him. How [...]
How does a team that knocked out the best pitcher in baseball, scoring 7 runs in 4.1 innings on Monday, turn around and make Jeff Suppan look like, well, Brandon Webb?
On a day when Jo-Jo Reyes looked not just like a passable stopgap solution but like a legitimate major league pitcher, 7IP, 2H, 1R, 3BB, [...]
Wishing I had not turned the radio on tonight. Say what you will about one-run games, you’re not going to win a whole lot of games when you only score two. Sounds like some pretty fluky stuff went down the last two innings. It’s amazing how deflating one of these games can be after coming [...]
This turned out to be a pretty fantastic homestand. It’s one thing to sweep a pair of bottom-dwellers in six games like the last stand. It’s quite another to go 8-3 against three contenders. So, kudos. Maybe this time we’ll carry some of that mojo on the road.
Sunday’s Game
Arizona 9, Braves 3. The Braves marred [...]
Yesterday, the Braves activated catcher Brayan Pena from the need-room-for-pitchers 15-day disabled list and promptly designated him for assignment, meaning the end of Pena’s career in any sort of Braves jersey. I’ve got to say that this absolutely blows my mind. Not because I think Brayan Pena is so great, but because Corky Miller is [...]
Atlanta 3, Arizona 1. There are few plays in all of sports more exciting that the walk-off home run. Today Braves fans were treated to just such an occurence as Jeff Francoeur knocked one over the left field fence in the bottom of the ninth to win today’s game.
Jorge Campillo matched up against Randy Johnson. [...]
Arizona 11, Atlanta 1. On the mound today the Diamondbacks had Doug Davis, an inspirational story waiting to happen in his first return since losing his thyroid to cancer. (After Davis, Jon Lester, et. al., baseball might be adding cancer to the list of PEDs.)
The home team countered with Jo-Jo Reyes. Jo-Jo Reyes took the [...]
Atlanta 4, New York Mets 2. Sweep! It’s waaay too early to be ruling anybody in or out at this point, but it’s pretty obvious who’s hot and who’s not right now in the NL East. You know Willie Randolph is not going to want to answer that phone tonight.
The Mets fans finally had something [...]
Atlanta 11, New York Mets 4. Among rumors swirling around that another sweep by the Braves might be the end of Willie Randolph’s tenure in Queens, the Braves absolutely crushed the hapless Metropolitans tonight. It was a great day for a great win as Bobby Cox and I were both celebrating our birthdays. It was [...]
Atlanta 6, New York Mets 2. Game 2. After completing our sweep of the Mets from the first series of the season in the first game, we completed our sweep of the Mets in the doubleheader in the second game. Quick hits from the nightcap:
The game didn’t start until almost 9pm due to a rain [...]
