The All Star game is just around the corner and balloting is coming to a close on Wednesday. Let’s take a look at who’s going for the Braves and who should be going.
Chipper Jones
Chipper will be the Braves’ only starter (you know, if he can play). He’s crushing the competition and that’s how it should [...]
Atlanta 4, Milwaukee 2. Apparently the winning team was required to score exactly 4 runs in this series and the Bravos were on the 4 side today. Jorge Campillo had another strong outing: 4H, 2ER, 6K, 0BB in 7 innings.
Can we take Campillo seriously yet? I’ll say it again: his BB/K ratio (12/53 in 67.1) [...]
Milwaukee 4, Atlanta 3. A game in which we couldn’t get out of the first inning without committing three errors seemed pre-ordained from the get-go and your Atlanta Braves played like it. The boys ended up with four errors on the night (plus a defensive miscue in left by Brandon Jones that probably should have [...]
Milwaukee 4, Atlanta 1. The Bravos continue to put up an 0-fer in that all-important category: games on this homestand which I have attended. After missing both of our victories over the Marinators this weekend for a Knoxville wedding (yes, they played Rocky Top at the reception), Ben Sheets Jo-Jo Reyes got the best of [...]
Kenny Doyle put together a nice analysis of the reasons for Jeff Francoeur’s struggles this year at Dugout Central. Unfortunately, his conclusion for how to deal with the problem is essentially grin and bear it until Frenchy figures it out.
While Josh Anderson or Brandon Jones probably wouldn’t do better than Francoeur over the course of [...]
Seattle 10, Atlanta 2. Tonight, the Atlanta Braves welcomed the newest addition to Turner Field, the highly anticipated Tomahawk Cow.
We at Section 435 dot com are pleased to present the first, exclusive* video footage of the Tomahawk Cow:
*Unless there’s more, which there probably is.
Note that the video is in normal speed. I tried to adopt [...]
I know, I have been in absentia lately due to drinking obligations. Here we go:
My mantra tonight watching the game: “Jo-Jo is pitching. We’ve got this one in the can.” Man, something has switched on in this youngster. It’s a bit exciting to watch. Keep it up, young Jo-Jo.
(Also, apparently badjojo is a porn site. [...]
If I wasn’t so numb from the parade of bad news over the last week, I might have panicked last night at the news that Chipper Jones got hit in the face by a caroming baseball in batting practice before the game at Anaheim. It sounded like a death blow for the season. Chipper Jones [...]
Well, after the events of this week (Glavine rejoining the DL Army, Jurrjens stubbing his toe, Soriano declining the opportunity to be a professional baseball player, signing the mediocre Brian Lawrence and Jorge Julio, the offense stranding more men than the Titanic, the bullpen collapsing 4 out of the last 6 games), my most recent [...]
A few weeks ago, I reported on our record by jersey. A lot has changed in that time period:
The Braves started experimenting with mixing and matching caps and jerseys on the road.
The AJC cribbed my story.
The Braves started sucking everywhere they play.
So here’s an update on those numbers:
