weird move, but the braves sent minor back down and recalled boscan.
Minor wasn’t going to start again, but I don’t get why Boscan.
David Ross – RH 1B caddy?
/edit – he had 5 starts at 1B in1999! So, I’m saying there’s a chance…
Manny Ramirez has retired. Source said he was about to face a 100 game HGH suspension.
Manny retires and it’s drug related.
Yep, the move is about freeing up Ross on days he doesn’t start. It means he can either back up 1B or, more importantly, pinch hit whenever Fredi wants a right-handed hitter off the bench.
thats only going to work until JJ gets off the DL though right?
Well, my guess is that they want the extra right-handed hitter for this series in particular. Lee and Hamels are both starting, plus someone at TC speculated that McCann might be bruised up because of the hits he took in Milwaukee.
Whatever the case, I do prefer the prospect of having Ross pinch hit over Conrad.
So really we’re adding David Ross to the active roster. Sounds good to me.
Wow. This is really un-Bobby-like. I like it!
Btw, why weren’t we beaning the hell out of those guys?
Hanson’s location was so bad he’d have gotten away with it.
I think bringing Boscan up is great. I love being able to use Ross off the bench
Tennessee football is saved! Peyton Manning had twins today.
If that’s the case, the implications go a little further beyond Tennessee football.
Charles Woodson had triplets.
(Sorry Smitty…bitter Dawg fan humor) 🙂
Didn’t realize Chip and Joe were also doing the peachtree broadcasts this year.
No more EJ? 🙁
Why the hell is the Braves game blacked out? Does anyone else have this problem?
@17
On FSN I have some stupid streetball. Ti says MLB baseball, but it isn’t MLB Network is blacked out. Plus the streeball game is on CSS too. Wow. I hate this. Someone needs to pay for this. Who do we call?
I have DirecTV and am calling them. We are supposed to have the game. This is bullshit.

Im on the phone with Charter
I have got it on the hd channel
Ok, problem solved on my end
On mine, the guide for SportsSouth says NHL Hockey, but it’s the Braves. Standard def channel.
Geez, unlucky much?
Streetball is probably a better viewing option for the next three days.
It’s on 648-1 for me on DirectTV. Dunno how consistent channel numbers are though.
Not that it matters because the season is over.
Oof, what a rough start.
I still have it blacked out. The guy I spoke to wasn’t particularly helpful either. If they don’t get it fixed I will switch to something else.
It says 648 on mine too, Downeaster, but that’s RSN.
J-Hey!
That’s awesome and everything, but, really, how important was that extra base?
Just take the double, man.
WHY IS HE BATTING SIXTH?!
YES!!!!!!
Great to see J-Hey get the XBH off one of the best Lefty’s in baseball.
Best hitter batting 6th…not really an optimal strategy to me, but whatever. Let’s see if we can put up a big number here in the 2nd.
That’s fun to see him triple, followed by a double and a single? We’re missing the homer for the cycle in the inning.
The question mark was to convey my shock and awe.
Bunting with Prado to let McClouth bat the runs in?
PRADO IS SO CLUTCH
I love you Martin!
Teheran only given up one hit (with 2 BB and an HBP) in 5 innings.
McOut = McClutch?
Nice set of Chipper Owns The Phillies More Than Any Hitter Ever stats.
Is the game a sellout?
I think Chip mentioned it being a sellout at the beginning of the broadcast.
Though you really can’t trust a guy who calls routine fly balls the way he does.. There may actually only be 20,00 people there.
Philly announcers talking about how full and lud the Ted is tonight. They say it is standing room only.
That would have been behind some RH hitters.
Blaaaaah, what a joke.
Uggla with a nice turn
Thinking of the trivia question… Halladay is the easy one. Is Pedro Martinez still an active player?
Freeman has a lot to learn before he gets on Prince Fielder’s level.
Why is Hudson such a garbage bunter?
So, DirecTV for some idiotic reason decided to sign a contract to blackout Peachtree games in South Carolina. Looks like they’ll be losing costumers.
Holy McUnlikely.
LOL @ Victorino.
only thing that couldve made that better is if Victorino wouldve pulled a Canseco there
Nate 2-3 vs Cliff Lee? ill take it
Snitkered?
wow, and the pull Lee after 3 1/3. Uggla needs to do some damage here
#55- Snitker actually made the right call holding him there
So I’m watching this game with my buddy who’s a Phillies fan, and I’m telling him how happy I am that Lee is out, and he correctly points out that the Braves can only hit good pitchers. Now that a junk baller is coming in, we’re not likely to get another hit.
And he’s right. 🙁
Come on, Uggla!
@57 That only applies to starters. We hit other teams’ bullpen hard. At least it seemed that way last year.
Come on, Alex, that is two pitches that would have bounced if you didn’t hit them.
Victorino cheating? That’s weird…
I have never disliked a player so much as Victorino.
first pitch to howard right down the middle for ball one
Miracle of miracles.
“He just wanted a little drama, didn’t Tim?”
Victorino is a tool. I loved watching that ball bounce off of his glove. I was sad it missed his face.
Hell of a play by Chipper
Bastardo has a big butt.
Also, nice catch, Freddie.
Congratulations, Chipper.
Wow, terrible AB by Uggla… he just closed his eyes and swung at those pitches. You could tell from his body language that he was feeling antsy and was going to jump at everything.
Wow, Hudson sure has righted the ship after the rocky start.
Only Chipper and Hammer have 2500 hits. That is something.
Congratulations, Chipper. Not nearly enough reaction by the trolls here. Sad story.
wtf is this bastardo guy
Bastardo must suck if he is dominating us like this.
I’m so glad for Chipper, and I hope his fantastic season continues.
Preemptive, I would probably have gone to the pen and pinch-hit for Huddy.
Yeah, Chipper still has a few weeks before he takes his sabbatical
Good game Huddy
Hudson did pretty good in the eighth, looks like leaving him in was a good move.
Sweet game by Huddy.
Jonny carving up Ibanez.
Maybe I’m missing it, but does Peachtree not have a radar gun?
Kimbrel is pretty good.
Braves win.
lolOrr
SUCK IT PHILLIES!!!!
96 mph, then that nasty nasty slider at the end. KIMBREL!
That was an enjoyable win.
Didn’t like the last few innings at the plate, but I’m not going to complain one bit.
Congrats to Chipper.
Love it.
yeah baby!
Kimbrel 11 pitches, 10 strikes. Of course it wasn’t exactly a murderer’s row the Phillies had up there, but still nice that he continues his good control since his second call-up last season.
Recapped.
