Blacked out in Tennessee again tonight
but will try to visualize the radio show…I already have an idea in my head what’s
going to happen, so I’ll be OK..
Found game on sports south TV!
posting from iPhone
These Braves announcers are the biggest Rednecks in the league!
Changeup is working OK, but let’s hope he’s able to put a curveball over sooner rather than later. He’ll need to have that pitch come the second, third time through the order.

Hey, a CS!
Hey, an out is an out - unless you're Mario, in which case it's probably two outs. -UtesFan89

i think
that is the first time ive seen a CS with my own eyes from a pirate catcher this year. and i’ve seen a lot of their games
Slightly interesting stat...
Today, pitcher Dylan Gee made his big-league debut for the Mets, against the Nationals. Gee recorded his first career base hit before giving up a hit to the Nats. Kinda funny.

Doesn’t make the statement any less offensive to gay people.

Yes!
The game is on TV here! Gotta love being in an Braves TV market. McDonald looks like he’s locating the changeup well, but the offense looks like they’re taking alot of bad swings at Hudson’s slider
The glare of the spotlight is harsh, and the pressure that success breeds immense. We revere our heroes, but expect much. And criticism can come as easily as praise.

Oh lord
Y’all should hear the Braves TV guys. Going ON about “how great a player Ryan Doumit is to have on your baseball team.” Since his primary position is catcher. Nice to see they have never seen Doumit play catcher
The glare of the spotlight is harsh, and the pressure that success breeds immense. We revere our heroes, but expect much. And criticism can come as easily as praise.
Why the heck would they envy Doumit?
I mean, they have Brian McCann, who is better than Doumit at everything.

It’s kind of ironic that Skinny Mac’s pitched 6 shutout innings on the night his peripherals have been worse than in any other start. He’s coming out for the 7th but I think that’s a bad move.
I'm still of the mind
That we trot him out there. He’s got great stuff, but at this point in the season, I think it’s a good idea to run him out there and try to get him to learn how to extend starts, get out of jams, etc. This is one of the few places I agree w/ JR

Melky Cabrera, Alex Gonzalez, and Rick Ankiel isn’t very good either. Can’t believe Braves are contender after giving Melky 400+ AB (not to mention McLouth’s rotting corpse).
