Ignore that thing I said about extra innings. Eric Hinske is the man.

 

[jakncoke]

That was a great throw by Ruiz to get McCutchen, though.

Yep.

 

[The Frankman]

FUCK.

A windblown HR AWAY from the Mo Zone to the shorter wall. You are kidding me.

I've never seen a ball blow that way like that. Insane.

 

[Windu]

I don't see Mariano Rivera out there.

well of course not, he isn't numero uno anymore.

 

[clemenx]

Why don't we hit HRs like that? Everyone gets a cheap one at Citi

 

[jakncoke]

Hot chicks

Nice.

 

[The Frankman]

Hey Thole, how about calling some changeups AND NOW FASTBALLS? I know Frankie is a vet and can shake him off, but there are too many dead 1st pitch fastball hitters on the Braves.

EDIT: You see that Josh? Larry struck out ON A CHANGEUP.

 

[tmdorsey]

Are we actually gonna have back to back non extra inning wins?

 

[Windu]

Are we actually gonna have back to back non extra inning wins?

nah Kimbrel will find a way to get there. Maybe Uggla will chip in.

edit: well nvm, i forgot to factor in the playing the mets part.

 

[The Frankman]

Mets on the verge of setting a ML record...

Mets on the verge of setting a ML record...

"Most disappointing franchise"?

 

[ConradCervantes]

Gaby Sanchez just struck out on one of the worst breaking pitches I've ever seen. It STARTED a foot outside, then broke.

 

[jakncoke]

Extra innings here we come!

 

[The Frankman]

"Most disappointing franchise"?

That coming from a Nationals fan is even funnier.

EDIT: Terminology question by Keith is awesome.

 

[Enron]

lol Mess

 

[jakncoke]

nice play by Overbay

 

[tmdorsey]

Come on Kimbrel…

 

[Sharp]

That coming from a Nationals fan is even funnier.

You need expectations to be disappointing.

 

[The Frankman]

Thole needs to take 2 pitches here.

EDIT: Swings 3-1 at ball 4. You're killing me tonight Josh.

 

[Windu]

Jonny Venters is tied for 7th in overall pitcher NL rWAR at 2.2.

1.	Halladay (PHI)	3.6
2.	Lohse (STL)	2.9
3.	Kershaw (LAD)	2.8
4.	Jurrjens (ATL)	2.6
5.	Hamels (PHI)	2.4
6.	Johnson (FLA)	2.3
7.	Kennedy (ARI)	2.2
        Venters (ATL)	2.2
9.	Lincecum (SFG)	2.1
        Sanchez (FLA)	2.1

 

[tmdorsey]

Ok at least the worse Harris can do is get 2 runs.

 

[The Frankman]

Actually this PH makes sense. Kimbrel throws a ton of fastballs and that's all Harris can hit. Tejada would've been pretty overmatched.

EDIT: Doesn't mean he'll make contact. Record set. *sigh*

 

[Runus]

I forgot Kimbrel was about to set a rookie record for saves. Good for him.

 

[verbum]

Good win, go Braves.

 

[tmdorsey]

Alright. Let's go jakncokes!

 

[Enron]

Is there even any hope for the Mets? Do they have jack in the minors? What a depressing franchise.

 

[verbum]

Maybe they can find a decent closer somewhere. Some setup guy who can be a closer. Money is the problem.

 

[CajoleJuice]

Nice to see K-Rod destroying his trade value

 

[tmdorsey]

Is there even any hope for the Mets? Do they have jack in the minors? What a depressing franchise.

I can't feel sorry for a franchise who has more championships than my own.

 

[jakncoke]

fucking hell

 

[Windu]

damn great play by polanco

 

[ConradCervantes]

Braun pinch-hit two-run shot in the ninth!

 

[The Frankman]

Wait is this Sandy Alderson Press Conference Live?

EDIT: David Wright out another 3 weeks. Shoot me.

 

[Windu]

Braun pinch-hit two-run shot in the ninth!

awesome, could be a very productive night for the braves.

 

[ConradCervantes]

Axford has been WILD this week. He barely escaped with a save in Cincinnati. Just put the tying run on first with the top of the order coming up.

One out.

Edit: you fucking asshole.

2011 BsRized Standings May Update

Besides supporting the idea that the Braves are the best team in the NL, I like this chart because we're the only team with a sub-200 BsRa.

 

[rando14]

Nice homer from Smoak.

 

[Macattk15]

Oh Justin Smoak. I love you. I don't care your average is down to .250. Keep doing that. Laser beam HR.

 

[Windu]

i blame the goatee for axford's shittiness. bring back the rollie fingers stache, and don't fucking blow this.

 

[CygnusXS]

Jesus Christ.

 

[Windu]

whew, he actually got three outs.

 

[ConradCervantes]

FUCK YES! AXFORD YOU PIECE OF SHIT YOU DID IT.

 

[jakncoke]

Lets go Tabata!

 

[CygnusXS]

whew, he actually got three outs.

now for Philly

 

[Windu]

now for Philly

Baez won't let us down.

edit: yep lol.

 

[jakncoke]

[CygnusXS]

Baez won't let us down.

edit: yep lol.

Once a Brave, always a Brave.

 

[clemenx]

Jesus Christ.

Damn, that's horrible.

 

[Windu]

Once a Brave, always a Brave.

oh yeah i forgot that piece of shit was a brave. I must have forgotten it for a reason.

It was during the dark years.
