2006 Atlanta Braves Discussion

McCann (L), Francoeur and LaRoche (L) vs Wagner.

I don't like our chances....

EDIT: Ballgame, Braves lose 6-4.

Worst swing I've ever seen McCann take, and that wasnt a strike against LaRoche (maybe it has been all night). Francoeur's flyball got my hopes up, blah.

On to tomorrow, I guess.

How many balls fell just a few feet shot of the wall tonight? Wow, there had to have been at least 4 or 5 that got to the track.

Braves hit a bunch of balls like that tonight. Guess they didn't eat enough Wheaties...

Figure any potential Betemit deal is off with Chipper re-injured. Schuerholz looked pretty dejected after Chipper left the game...

Shows how much I know. Braves have traded Wilson Betemit to the Dodgers for Danys Baez and IF Willy Aybar.

[jacketin08]

At least the bullpen is getting some arms. Is Aybar any good?

I've been trying to find out. Looks like a solid player, good on-base skills. Not as much power as Betemit, though.

I'm kinda on the fence on this deal, though I'm leaning against...

Yeah, I'd have thought we could have gotten more for Wilson.
