Kolb was better than half the pitchers we’ve tried in the pen this year.
What irony.
The game probably won’t be played, it’s raining pretty bad.
Showers have been pretty sporadic today. Nothing too heavy for an extended period. I expect they’ll get it in.
It would probably be better if we didn’t get this one in, as it’s Barry vs. Sheets. This ain’t gonna be pretty.
1914 Update:
NY Giants 58-40 (–)
Boston Braves 51-46 (6.5)
Chicago Cubs 54-49 (6.5)
St. Louis Cardinals 55-50 (6.5)
Philadelphia Phillies 47-52 (11.5)
Cincinnati Reds 47-54 (12.5)
Brooklyn Robins 44-53 (13.5)
Pittsburgh Pirates 43-55 (15)
Today’s Game… was also rained out. The Braves have played only one game to completion in the last four days, which means doubleheaders in September are starting to pile up.
The homestand is over for Boston with an 11-2 mark. Now onto New York, where we find out if the Braves are contenders or pretenders.
With Sheets pitching…we might be able to get to their bullpen early..
It’s raining lightly off and on where I am in Georgia. If it’s the same in Atlanta, they’ll probably play the game through.
This is not a good start for Mr. Barry.
Already 2-0. Nice.
Shiell>Barry
Ummm, white flag waived on the season, so I am hopeful we can see some more “Baby Braves” in September.
Like who? Lerew?
“It would probably be better if we didn’t get this one in, as it’s Barry vs. Sheets. This ain’t gonna be pretty.”
No kidding. Pray for rain.
Gotta love Bobby putting Orr at leadoff instead of 8th. For 4 months, it was impossible to remove Giles from the leadoff spot, but on a day that it would actually make sense to bat him there, Bobby won’t do it. Sigh.
Oh well.
Pete Orr lead-off?
Why not put ___________fill in the blank up there, hell do better.
he’ll do better^
I watched some of the NFL pre-season last night, I can’t wait for the Saints presented by Terminex to come on.
I want to see how Roman Harper does.
GONE, BILL HALL…..
4-0
BACK UP THE TRUCK!
BACK UP THE TRUCK!!!
BACK IT UP!!!
@-@ Kevin Mench @-@
a lame excuse. I live in a whirl of business.
Crap. Four runs will almost certainly be all Ben Sheets will need.
Thanks for nothing, Kevin Barry.

Barry is going to shine tonight. MIlwaukee has lost 6 straight, lets make it 8.”
That makes me laugh. Kevin Barry is Jason Shiell, only less promising.
“Kolb was better than half the pitchers we’ve tried in the pen this year.”
You attempot to justify the Dan Kolb Era falls flat on it’s face.
Kolb is worse than them still.
3 straight 3 up and 3 downs.
Lets give Ben Sheets a perfect game.
What are the odds of a Sheets’ no-hitter?
“Kevin Barry is Jason Shiell, only less promising.”
Barry? Shiell? Cormier?
Aren’t there better pitchers in that little league world series?
I come back to Barry Kevin, not to praise him.
Sheets
29 through 3 IP. That worries me.
Dan’s right, sadly. There are no Baby Braves worth bringing up, except maybe Gregor Blanco.
Nice catch by Barry. Another pitcher who handles everything well except the actual pitching. We’ve had a lot of these guys.
Hey, at least Kevin Barry had a good play!
Villareal warming up? Sheesh.
(I guess they really don’t have anything better)
“Let me tell you what,” he said. “We wouldn’t even have the wins we have if it wasn’t for Roger.”-Bobby Cox
Okay then.
So everyone tell me how many more wins would we have if it wasn’t for Roger McDowell.
No more Kevin Barry, ever, please.
Last year the guy named Pimiel looked good, he hid the ball and had far superior location.
Sign him and throw him out there, it won’t be worse.
When is Kyle Davies coming back?
He has 3 pitches and can actually use them.
What are the odds of a Sheets no-hitter? What about a Sheets perfect game?
Nice Francoeur.
Helluva throw, Frenchy! And that wasn’t “bang-bang,” Frenchy had him by 8-10 feet.
Buaahahahahaha, FRENCHY! That’s my boy.
“When is Kyle Davies coming back?”
2-3 with a 6.12 ERA for Davies this year. I can’t wait.
Smoltz is the only pitcher that is good now. Ramirez is gone. Hudson needs a few more good games for my confidence to come back in him.
How many people has he thrown out at home now?
Holy crap! Was that ORR!?
Why do people run on Francoeur? I ask you, why?
The Mets lead the majors in outfield assists….30
That is Frenchy’s 8th assist this season, 21st including last year.
I guess that was Orr. No perfect game, no no-hitter, let’s break the shutout. 😀
Only four runs down with Villarreal pitching.
I BEEEELIEEEEVE!
Shutout broken, mission accomplished. 🙂
Where do those small, yellow smiley faces come from?
Dan you miss the point, Davies CG/SHO’ed the Mets, without his injury he might have a 3.50-4.00 ERA, which is cinsiderabley better than 6.00, which is what is guaranteed with Shiell and Barry.
Fielder, Vulture is on a broken wing.
“Where do those small, yellow smiley faces come from?”
Believe me, you don’t want to know.
5 runs down
“Davies CG/SHO’ed the Mets”
It was a complete game but Davies gave up a run. Final score was 7-1 on April 18, 2006.
1 run-0 runs who cares???, it ain’t 5.
Sam, I have been asking that for the past month.
Because Jeff has a horrible BA/OBP and never walks(which of course effects the OBP).
He also does stupid things and times where it really isn’t appreciated.
Sheets will strike him out.
Ben Sheets: 4 BB, 49 K.
Jeff Francoeur: 7 UIBB, 94 K.
Just saying.
He striked out.
Give that man a cigar!
How many people has he thrown out at home now?
awesome
LaRoche struckout, but at least the umpire took his precious time to call it so he wouldn’t know what to do.
6 K’s for Sheets.
The thing that gets me most about Francoeur is his lack of knowing where the strike zone is. If he strikes out, fine. It justs get me when he swings at pitches a foot outside two times in a row for a strikeout.
Everyone this team, except for Smoltz, McCann, AJ, and CJ sucks and need to be traded.
wouldn’t that be something that he’d learn in the minors or spring training?
@61
Even Frenchy? With a couple of years of pounding strike zone paitence in his head, he’ll be fine. Keep him.
Villareal should be given a chance to start.
He need to shorten his swing, stop moving his head so much, and learn to differentiate what is a ball and a strike.
Oscar Villarreal , excellent inning
Keep:
Renteria
C. Jones
A. Jones
LaRoche
Francoeur
Smoltz
McCann
Wickman
?Baez?
Everyone else can go.
@65
Right, so don’t trade him. He can be fixed. He isn’t Brad Komminsk, you know.
@67
Pretty much. 🙂
Orr owns Sheets.
Orr has doubled and tripled. Is there any logical explanation for this?
Orr getting the hardest part of the cycle.
Get him home & let’s creep back in this thing…
I forgot Renteria, he is jsut unassuming.
Baez and Wickman should stay also.
Komminsk
http://www.baseball-reference.com/k/kommibr01.shtml
Pete Orr!!!! He might hit for the cycle, if he wasn’t Pete Orr.
Yes, that Komminsk, heh. He was a freak in the minors, but he’s the very definition of a AAAA hitter.
The Braves are coming back.
Hudson’s gonna no hit em’ tommorrow then we go on a 25-Game Winning Streak.
We are gonna be awesome.
Pete Orr will finish the season at .300 with 20 homers…awesome.
So… when was the last time that Renteria got a hit?
Komminsk migth have been a durg/alchohol abuser.
You don’t go frm being Minor League great to Major League awful like that without something behind the scenes.
The only thing I know is that he had frigging high expectations on him. And he did have a successful minor league season in 1986 or something.
I think Edgar needs rest.
Is there any logical explanation for this?
Brian, don’t repress a cold smile. Orr can hit. hahahaha
Where is Kolb? It’s Braves’ rally time (even if the team couldn’t get a runner home from third with one out.)
OSCAR FACED 8 AND GOT OUT 9!!!!
That is the type of pitching I’m talking about!!!!
impossible
WE WANT KOLB! WE WANT KOLB! WE WANT KOLB!!!!!
Dan “Dan the Blown Save Man” Kolb, Electric Walkaloo, Dan “I control who get on, whether it is by walk or bases clearing double” Kolb!
BRING ON THE KOLBIYASHI BRING ON THE KOLBIYASHI!
Unlike the Jpanaese guy, he actually is a Bratwurst.
COME ON KOLB, GET OUT HERE AND TAKE IT LIKE MAN!!!
Well, right now, I’m working on the Braves project that I had mentioned before, writing brief summaries for each year. I was wondering where I should mention Komminsk. lol
http://www.baseball-reference.com/k/kolbda01.shtml
I wonder if Kolb will blow games for the 2005 Braves in my project? lol
How about in a seperate area, like “Braves who failed miserablely, and were allowed to keep on doing it”.
Ray, Ray, go away. Come again some other … city.
Is his blog still up?
Ah yes, Chad Paronto, Kevin Gryboski’s less talented successor.
DO WE HAVE ANY RELIEVER OTHER THAN RAY, BAEZ, AND WICKMAN WHO CAN THROW SOMETHING OTHER THAN ONE PITCH?
@90
*laughs* It doesn’t work that way, I’m going for yearly summaries. He was given the most playing time in 1985, so I guess I’ll go with that.
LaRoche is Sid Bream.
Why do only posters on this site stick to KOLB?
I think it’s kind of a mental disease. I’m sory guys but that’s strange.
Did you happen to watch any game where he played last year?
Apparently not.
I think that’s why I don’t have very strong feelings one way or another about Kolb. I really don’t think I ever saw him pitch… seriously. Good luck, I guess. I was finishing up a baseball season of my own and graduating from high school while he was blowing saves. Also, on a slightly twisted, yet still kinda funny note, my house burned down in late April last year. So while my house was burning down, Dan Kolb was trying to burn the Braves’ season down. Connection? I’ll call the detective.
Kolb crossed the Lockhart Line. That’s when a player isn’t just bad, but is clueless about his badness and complains because Bobby doesn’t let him continue to hurt the team.
I like the way the Brewers geared up for the playoff run, they went and got the bats of Kevin Mench and David Bell.
That is the one reason they haven’t scored 10, yet.
I still don’t know how Gillick got them to take Bell.
LaRoche with the double, Thormann up.
I’m not going to hold my breath….
BASE HIT!
Bell, wait a second
SCOREEEEE!!!!!!!!
First pitch hits by all 3 in a row….
Okay, Bell has no ability, but he has mediocre for 25 years so he is useful.
Mench looks like a Brewer….lol
I think ” stick to ” means that is a forcible expression which is trying to gasp for love. anyway.
ORRRRRRRR!!!! SPEEDDDDDDDD 3 HITS FOR PETE ORRRR!!!!
that was awesome!
pete orr for the cycle!
Please let it be Kolb!!!
Gotta say…love Orr’s hustle there. I really like the way this inning is shaping up and something finally for the fans to be excited about.
WE WANT DANNY! WE WANT DANNY!
PLEASE LET IT BE KOLB..I WANT KOLB TO HEAVY BREATHE HIS LARD ONTON THE FIELD AND GET LIT UP!!!
COME’ON
ALL OF US NEED TO CHANT, AND ALL OF THE FANS AT THE GAME…
WE WANT KOLB! WE WANT KOLB!
NO!!! Not Cappellan, I want another former Brave!
well, we didnt get Kolbb, but got the guy we traed for him. Ohhhh…the irony.
CORDERO????
NO I WANT KOLB!!!
If we hit Cordero, then we still have a chance…..at Kolb,
Andrew, get you some!
Don’t worry. Orr will get his homer for the cycle off Kolb next time up. I’m callin’ it.
BASES LOADED!!!!
McCann has the Power!
Brian McCann!!!! YES, I LOVE THAT! Get You Some!
YES!!!!
Wow. Walked in a run. Here we go, Frenchy.
JEFF, TAKE THE LEAD, GET YOU SOME!
wow…this is awesome.
C’mon Frenchy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Brian McCann. And Danny couldn’t have done that better.
Let it be known that my attitude will change against Francouer forever if he delivers. As I type this, he waaaaaves at a terrible pitch outside to make it 0-2.
Jeff sucks.
Francoeur should be sent to Richmond for that at-bat. That was horrible.
Nevermind. Don’t have to worry about that.
That was the WORST Frenchy at bat I have seen all year and that’s saying a LOT.
Since Cordero had wlaked the first 2 batter he faced, Jeff thought it was only right to swing at a bunch of balls….
I think my attitude towards Frenchy is now closer to what Rob and many others feel about him now. Just pathetic.
I tell ya, Mac, that’s gotta be the most frustrating thing a hitter can do. Andruw walks on five pitches, McCann walks, and Francouer waaaaaves at two sliders 6 1/2 feet off the plate. Frustrating…
I wasn’t the least bit surprised by that.
Pathetic at-bat by Frenchy. He appears to be so bull-headed about remaining ‘aggressive’ at all costs…
Where’s LANDOGARNER NOW HUH?
LaRoche should hit in the 5 hole, Jeff sucks too much.
OK, I thought I was exaggerating, but that really could have been 6 1/2 feet off the plate. Like, really.
Hahahahaha, Jeff Francoeur. Rochey is on deck 🙁
Why am I not surprised Jeff struck out? I was so excited to see McCann batting, and then sort of scared when Jeff got up. That was even worse than I feared, though.
To echo Sam, it’s not surprising, but it’s definitely frustrating. Doesn’t seem like there’s any thought at all going into those at bats by him
And Frenchy’s out of the game. Wonder why…
He probably was blinded by the fact that he’d be the hero in tying the game with at least a single, so he has to hit the ball!
Know the siuation, bases loaded, pitcher inaccurate, work the count.
And there goes our good 8th inning work. what a waste.
So who wanted to keep Baez?
“Defensive replacement”-I wonder why it took so long?
Been gone a while, checking in and out. Can’t believe so many people still care about this significantly-flawed team. If our general manager doesn’t care about the team this year, why should all of us?
Football time.
I hope Frenchy’s benched for at least a couple of games.
We gave up Betemit for who again? I know it’s probably too early to judge it yet, but right now it doesn’t look too sharp.
@145
Simple, it’s not time for football yet!
I’m mentally drafting the recap and I think I’m going to pull a couple of quotes from you guys. That AB was… mythically bad. It was the Edsel of plate appearances.
@147
Well, Rissa, Baez was the throw-in. And Aybar is on the DL. Guess we lost the trade.
Baez has caught the Braves Reliever Virus…..
That’s not Danys Baez! That’s Kolb in a Baez mask!
*looks for Dan Kolb in the Brewers bullpen*
HOLY CRAP, you’re right Mac!
That is an interesting thing. It’s not like Matt Diaz is better defensively than Frenchy, and it’s not like Frenchy is hurt or tired.
I really wonder how Landogarner will defend Francouer this time. That at-bat was really bad. Historically bad, perhaps. I umpire little league games, and I’ve seen better at-bats from 10-11 year olds. I’m freaking serious here.
Betemit is a good player……
Corey Hart looks like this kid I used to play JV baseball with. He was one of those guys that played infield all through little league, because he was never really that bad, and they stuck him in the outfield when he got into high school. He was like Kirk Cameron he had so many growing pains…
Was that just a cut-down on Corey Hart?
Double-switch, that’s what it was. Diaz is in the 9-hole now, which works out well. Of course Bobby hasn’t lost confidence in the Wonder Boy. That would be way too radical.
LaRoche, Thorman and Diaz.
Can we do it?
Maybe. I hope the 8th wasn’t too big of a momentum letdown.
Another walk. You think Jeff has gotten the message yet?
Walk and ball one. There’s still hope…
cycle!
Come on, Pete, knock Albert Hall out of the record book.
Sweet hit.
I still want Dan Kolb.
Pete Orr not known for power, duh.
Pete Orr is not known for a lot of things, unfortunately.
orr not…
ha!
Come on Marcus!
WALK HIM!
3-34?
Disgusting…..
Oh well. The deficit was probably too big to come back from anyway…
Hey, look on the bright side: Marcus failed before Edgar could.
BACK UP THE TRUCK!
BACK IT UP!!!!
