Re: 2009 Atlanta Braves

What's the problem with Moylan?

I dont think he has confidence in his arm just yet.

Re: 2009 Atlanta Braves

I must say I was surprised to see us win today, in extra innings no less. That was a huge bounce back from the disaster last night.

Jo-Jo to the penn and calling up this Medlen kid. Pretty impressive numbers in AAA. 5-0 0.96 era and a 21 inning scoreless streak !

I want Hanson called up...really looking forward to seeing him pitch every 5th day. On another note, Javy Vazquez is really missing bats this year.

me too ! Apparently this guy has out pitched Hanson so he got the call. The both might be in the rotation before the end of the season. I think they will both be way better than Glavine too.

Re: 2009 Atlanta Braves

Yunel wins the game in the bottom of the ninth with a deep sac fly to score Jordan. Yunel is a champ with RISP!

Now above .500

Re: 2009 Atlanta Braves

I'm wondering who we are sending down for Medlen. I guess Parr? He's going to have to pass through waivers to go to Gwinnett, so we might lose him.

The Braves won’t make the ensuing roster move until Tuesday, but either Jeff Bennett or James Parr could be the odd man out. Bennett has allowed four of eight inherited runners to score and is getting hit at a .373 clip.
Etc.
Reliever Jorge Campillo will pitch for Class AA Mississippi Saturday in the first game of a minor-league rehabilitation assignment to begin his comeback from shoulder fatigue.

Not sure which I would send down. Campillo if he can pitch better, needs to be used more and not saved as an inning eater. They have started to use Carlyle more like I have said they need to do.

Re: 2009 Atlanta Braves

I thought Parr still had options? Bennett has had some rough patches lately but he's more effective now than Parr. So far this year, Medlen is 5-0, 0.96 ERA in AAA Gwinnett.

Re: 2009 Atlanta Braves

Just when I thought this team might be making a move toward the top of the division we get destroyed by the D-Backs 12-0. And what's up with Carlyle? He gave up 6 runs in the 9th to raise his ERA to 8.57. I've supported the decision to bring him in since day one but I think his success with the Braves is behind him and it might be time to move on. When Medlen is called up is it possible Carlyle could be the odd man out?

Parr does have options, so maybe they send him down and DFA someone else to open up a 40-man spot. Maybe Luis Valdez? He's on the 40, but his stats look unimpressive.

God, what a blowout yesterday...

Re: 2009 Atlanta Braves

Kelly Johnson is simply not fit for the leadoff position. He batted 6th in today's lineup and had 3 hits. It's why he played so well in the 2nd half of last year...I'd like to see Schafer at leadoff a few more games to see what happens.

Re: 2009 Atlanta Braves

Is anyone else as pumped for Medlen's debut as I am? I'm pretty fired up, the only thing keeping me down is the fact we just lost Infante for 6-8 weeks. As of right now we have no back-up center fielder.

Re: 2009 Atlanta Braves

I felt sorry for poor Medlen.
