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 [...]
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 [...]
To say that this was a disappointing series with the Phils would be the understatement of the year. After getting it done against the Marlins, we suffered our first home series loss of the season, getting swept out of town by the Phillies.
I still don’t think the Phillies have the starting pitching to go the [...]
Philadelphia 4, Atlanta 3. The Braves suffered another excruciating collapse on the road last night, wasting several runs on base running mistakes, blowing the lead with a Kelly Johnson error in the ninth, and losing it with a Manny Acosta appearance in the tenth.
Wait, what’s that you say? We were at home? This was the [...]
Atlanta 7, Miami Marlins of Miami 5. While all the focus has been on Chipper chasing the .400 that’s preceded by a decimal point this, he’s also been inching closer to 400 career home runs. I know with Manny Ramirez hitting 500 and Ken Griffey Jr. slouching towards 600 that 400 is not quite as [...]
Atlanta 5, Miami Marlins of Miami 4. The Campillo naysayers got a bit of a boost tonight as Jorge Campillo gave up 4 in 4IP. Dan Uggla had Campillo’s number (57) all night. Uggla hit two home runs (3 RBI) against Campillo before quieting down against the relief corp.
Campillo struggled to find the strike zone [...]
Atlanta 7, Miami Marlins of Miami 5 (10 innings.) Smoltz returned tonight to more fanfare than I have ever heard at Turner Field. This coming from a crowd of only 20,000. In his first relief appearance in three and half years, Smoltz gave up 2 runs, blowing a 4-3 lead, and getting his first blown [...]
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 [...]
