Here’s the word on Luis Sumoza, the duder we get in return for the college player of the decade for the ’90s:
Shows the potential to be a five-tool player, but needs a lot of refinement. High power potential. Above average speed. Strikes out too much, still has some holes in his swing. [...]
Atlanta 10, Miami Marlins of Miami 9. The Marlins are never a big draw and with the remains of Tropical Storm Fay pushing through the metro area, there weren’t many folks motivated to make it out to the ballgame. The official attendance last night was around 17,000, but I’d be surprised if half that many [...]
Atlanta 11, San Francisco 5. It was a beautiful night for baseball at the Ted last night, something you don’t expect this time of year. I’ll let you decide whether I’m talking about the weather or the 2008 Braves. It looked like we hanging this one up before it started with Bobby sitting the entire [...]
Glavine is back on the DL. Here’s a question: how come nobody was heaping the same kind of shit on Glavine for thinking that he was miraculously cured of his torn flexor tendon that was being heaped on Hudson for thinking his elbow was going to miraculously heal?
Is it just me, or did Kotsay get [...]
Regular readers of this here www.baseball.braves.interweb.blog know that we who dwell up in section 435 are big Mark Kotsay fans. I was a little bit crushed to find out that I wasn’t present for his big day, opting instead for a 5-mile run and Bull Durham DVD, obnoxious Cubs fans having made this series unbearable [...]
Of all the fans in baseball, the Cubs have the absolute worst. You may accuse me of being a sore loser after an ugly doubleheader today, but the truth is, I have been professing this since the 2003 division series. Sure, fans in New York and Philly get a bad rap, but people from New [...]
We turn our attention to the future once again. Here’s what Mark Bowman says about Mike Hampton returning for 2009:
No, there likely won’t be many teams knocking on Hampton’s door during the offseason. But if he stays healthy the rest of this season, I could see the Braves offering him an incentive-laden contract. They’ve paid [...]
For the unsuccessful 2006 and 2007 campaigns, the Braves decided that they had enough talent in the queue to make a few key moves to re-up for the next season. In 2007, the Braves just didn’t have the starting pitching depth to take them all the way. It was Hudson and Smoltz and pray for [...]
109 games too late, the Braves finally closed the door on our long Corky nightmare. I can’t imagine that he won’t clear waivers. I also can’t imagine why the Braves would want to keep him in any capacity. Of course, I couldn’t fathom why they’d keep the Corkster over Brayan Pena way back when, so [...]
