Venters Was surprised to see that he's now made the 2nd most appearances for the Braves (53, 1 ahead of Wagner at 52, and only trailing Moylan at 61). Suppose it shouldn't surprise me given how Bobby likes going to what's dependable, regardless of age/experience but it did surprise me that Venters has pitched 58 innings i... 13 Aug 2010 21:17
Is there a 3D seat viewing app for Turner? I just got tix for the last game of the year and want to show my wife where we'll be sitting. Some stadiums have 3D viewers that let you virtually view the field from your seat - they've had it in Cincinnati for a few years. Is there anything like that for Turner? I've looked around but can't find one. ... 13 Aug 2010 14:44
Chipper to have surgery, season over This seemed very likely already, but Chipper had first wanted to get a second opinion. Now it's official: http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/story/13748954/chipper-to-have-knee-surgery-needs-about-six-months-for-recovery/rss Colin ... 13 Aug 2010 14:44
Club house meeting And the last thing he said to me, "Skipper," he said, "sometime when the team is up against it and the breaks are beating the boys, tell them to go out there with all they've got and win just one for the Chipper." ... 13 Aug 2010 12:33
Chipper tears his ACL Out for the season, obviously. Gotta think there's a good chance that ends his career as well. So who plays where the rest of the season? Glaus at 3rd and Freeman at 1st? Prado at 3rd and Infante at 2nd? ... 13 Aug 2010 21:17
I have decided to cease posting to this group... you won't be posting then, this is how it's going to be the rest of the way. the Phillies made the run we all knew they would, now it's can the Braves hold on. another blown save Yuck!, but it was great to see them put up 6 in the 10th and get 2 out of 3 from a bad team. ... 11 Aug 2010 21:27
Chipper on his latest injury... http://blogs.ajc.com/atlanta-braves-blog/2010/08/11/braves-quotes-after-comeback-win-chipper-injury/?cxntfid=blogs_atlanta_braves_blog �It�s hurt. I heard a distinct pop. I don�t think it�s my ACL, �cause when I did it before it sounded like my knee exploded. It sounded like the whole stadium could hear it pop. ... 11 Aug 2010 17:00
Filling in for Chipper If Chipper is out for an extended amount of time, can Glaus still play 3B? That would give us an opportunity to bring up Freddie Freeman to cover 1B and still keep our reserves in their current roles. ... 11 Aug 2010 09:19

Mike Minor I watched only the first five innings or so of the game last night. I see why the Braves like Mike Minor. He looks to have excellent control and a nice variety of pitches. I was surprised to see that the speed of his fastball was not 90-91 MPH as been mentioned, but was more like 92-93. He struck out one ba... 10 Aug 2010 08:04

Reds get Jim Edmonds In exchange for this guy: http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/d/dickech01.shtml I'm still wondering why the Braves didn't go after Edmonds. Is there something I'm missing? Yes, he's an injury risk, but it seems to me no more so than Ankiel. Colin ... 9 Aug 2010 17:59 |
