Damn. One of the rare times Peterson hasn't come through with the bases loaded.

WE WON!!!

MLB Rumor Central: Braves looking to deal for draft picks?

 

[huskers1217]

I don't know, it's some fucky new schedule deal. We did the same thing with the Blue Jays last year. I think we rotate years with the Phillies of having the Red Sox and Blue Jays as our main interleague "rival"

MLB Rumor Central: Braves looking to deal for draft picks?

At this point I'd trade both Bud Norris and Erick Aybar for a 50th round draft pick.

Freeman goes against the wind and takes Lester deep for a solo shot.

1-0 Braves

 

[Chewbaccer]

And folks, that is where we likely lost this game. Bases loaded with no outs, and can't get a single run across.

Can we please stop playing Stubbs against lefties? All I've seen him do is strike out.

Whoever takes that deal is getting screwed. I couldn't trade a container of molding spam for those two.

Brutal. I just saw with bases with 2 outs. Didn't see had with no outs

Stubbs strikes out. Peterson strikes out(questionable call, but still, and he's done so much work with the bases loaded I'll give him a pass) and Markakis grounds out.

 

[Chewbaccer]

But we just got out of bases loaded with 1 out jam without allowing a run.

 

[Chewbaccer]

2-1 Cubs with the bases still loaded with just 1 out.

When you load the bases with 0 out and don't score in a tie game in the 7th, that pretty well seals your fate.

 

[Chewbaccer]

And now a grand slam.

Show some pride, guys, God damn.

6-1 Cubs and ball game.

I guess I'm glad I missed the game today. It's sad when work is more entertaining than watching the Braves play.

It was a great game until the bottom of the 8th. Lester and Blair matching each other pitch for pitch.

Aaron Blair looked great today. He held the Cubs hitless midway through their second time around the order.

But then we loaded the bases with no outs in the 7th and didn't get a single run out of it. In the bottom half, the Cubs loaded em with 1 out and a double play bailed us out, but in the bottom of the 8th we weren't so lucky.

At this point, we have to be realistic. Watching our young guys develop is the big thing for this season. I'm much more in tune with the game when Blair or Wisler is on the mound.

I agree. As bad as we are, it is fun to see some of the prospects getting some playing time.

Looks like we lost one of our contributors. Meltdown on the PFs last night.

Hope you come back soon, and just keep away from the PFs. Hell, we'd gladly welcome you to the Nightshift thread, @GoldenSpur

Myself, @bamabear82 and @gobigred are all Braves fans that frequent there.
