Open thread, 5/18, Braves vs. Doug Raus

How many times has Fredi used the same line-up in consecutive games? I don’t feel like looking it up, but I’d guess less than five. Simmons 6, Heyward 9, J. Upton 7, Freeman 3, C. Johnson 5, McCann 2, Uggla, ...

Braves Gotta Wear Shades

The Future’s So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades.  Remember that popular song from the punk band, Timbuk3?  I heard it the other day, and it got me thinking about the Braves.  My friends will tell you that with me, most ...

The Office’s Quarterly Report: Pitching and management

On the surface, the Braves’ pitching has been solid. Their ERA, opponents’ BA and are below the league average, and the rotation has notched 23 quality starts. It’s those other 17 starts that have sucked. And the bullpen hasn’t been ...

Open thread, 5/14, Braves vs. John Frascatores

Julio T. has rebounded nicely after a woeful beginning. In his last three outings, covering 19-1/3 innings, Teheran has allowed just six earned runs and one homer. Not dominant, but solid — especially when contrasted to his first three starts: ...

Where’s Randall Delgado?

He’s at Reno, pitching horribly. Randall has 0 wins and a 9.09 ERA in 8 starts with a 1.933 WHIP. As for the other prospects shipped to Arizona: *Zeke Spruill has struggled since his promotion from Double-A Mobile, striking out ...

What to make of these Braves?

Following Thursday’s win in San Fran, confidence was high. The Braves were 3-1 to start their second 10-game road trip of the year and should have been 4-0. B-Mac was back, Dan Uggla — yeah, that Dan Uggla — was ...
