Inthend Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Great time to start this after Atlanta's EPIC comeback last nite against Philly. When's the last time Halladay gave up a 6 run lead? Well I have a feeling this is goin to be a special year. As you probally know it's goin to be Chipper's last. But I know he'll do everything in his power to make it one to remember. All those starting pitchers who had off season surgeries are getting their confidence back. And the rookies look like they've worked hard this off season. They're hitting the ball hard and starting to get rid of the errors in the infield. What I seen so far out of them is a team that has the look of a winner. I look in their eyes. What do I see? The eye of the tiger baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the MLB Rule Book, section 5.1.A.ii.b, this officially eliminates them from the 2012 postseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laughedatbytime Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Bad news for the Braves. Beachy has been great to date. http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/8062868/...00-era-dl-elbow ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Braves placed Brandon Beachy on the 15-day disabled list on Sunday with a sore right elbow, creating an opening in the rotation that will be filled by Jair Jurrjens. The team recalled Todd Redmond from Triple-A Gwinnett to pitch out of the bullpen. Beachy, who leads the major leagues with his 2.00 ERA, will have an MRI on Monday. Beachy left Saturday night's game against Baltimore in the fourth inning. He had seven days' rest before making the start. Beachy said Sunday he has had bone spurs in the elbow. He said he didn't feel a pop in the elbow, so he hopes the soreness was caused by the spurs instead of a ligament issue which could lead to season-ending surgery. "I'm hoping it's bone spurs still," Beachy said. "It's time to find out for sure, so that's what we're going to do." Gonzalez said "I don't expect the worst" from Beachy's MRI. "I expect in 15 days he'll be ready to go," Gonzalez said. "There are plenty of pitchers who have pitched with (bone spurs). That will settle down a little bit." Jurrjens will be recalled from Gwinnett to make Beachy's next scheduled start on Friday at Boston. Jurrjens, who was named to the 2011 All-Star team, had been one of the Braves' top starting pitchers before he struggled with right knee problems in the second half of last season. He said he was healthy this year but he was 0-2 with a 9.37 ERA when he was optioned to Gwinnett on April 24. He is 3-4 with a 5.27 ERA in nine starts with Gwinnett. Other options for the Braves included Kris Medlen, who was recalled on Friday, and top prospect Julio Teheran, who was recalled for one start on June 10. "Medlen may go into the rotation sometime this summer, but we feel like we're better with him in the bullpen now," Gonzalez said. Gonzalez said Teheran had "a little stiffness in his back" after Saturday's start with Gwinnett. Gonzalez said Jurrjens deserved the chance to return to Atlanta. "He's made some progress. We're going to give him a shot," Gonzalez said. "We feel like he's done it before. He's been an All-Star. ... He's done everything we've asked down there." Gonzalez said Jurrjens, who was 13-6 with a 2.96 ERA in 2011, will make at least two or three starts but could earn a longer stay. The 27-year-old Redmond was 6-4 with a 3.20 in 13 starts for Gwinnett. This is his first promotion to the major leagues. Meanwhile, first baseman Freddie Freeman is missing his fourth straight start but said his sore left hand has improved "a lot." He has been unable to properly grip the bat due to a swollen knuckle on his left index finger. Martin Prado is making his second start of the season at first base. Third baseman Chipper Jones, who was held out with swelling in his left knee on Saturday night, is starting. Left-hander Eric O'Flaherty, who has had a sore elbow, is again available in the bullpen.

Weakly Criminal Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 As St. Louis proved last year, no one is ever officially eliminated, particularly on the senior circuit. That being said, it's the Rangers year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inthend Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 McCann is the man.. .. today with a homer and a sacrifice rocket to right field in the 10th that incredibly was caught to keep it from being a 2 run single, but was enough to get the Braves the extra inning win over the Mets.

Something we agree on as my Phillies miss the playoffs this year. F the Mets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
