2007 Atlanta Braves Discussion

Andruw sucks, He should be benched so Harris and Diaz can play on an everyday basis.

Thank you ESPN. We miss Prado doubling just so they can show Aaron's speech.

EDIT: Damn. Couldn't get the run in. Alfonseca having a lot of fun pitching tonight.

EDIT: Frenchy throws it way too far. LOL. 5-3 Phils.

[Kohlstar20]

I hope Soriano isn't in the game. We don't need a bigger deficit to try and overcome.

Edit: Rollins triples off Moylan, Maybe Soriano would have been the better option.

Edit: WTF was that frenchy? LMAO

Whoa, Jeff.

Juuuuust, a bit off-line.

Looks like the Braves are in a hurry to get the hell out of Philly. Pretty weak showing by the 3-4-5 there in the 8th.

Nice inning by Acosta in his ML debut. I guess the Braves knew something about him that I didn't because I was suprised that he got called up instead of Poronto, Devine, or Ascanio when Dotel went on the DL.

Edit: Another big fat 0'fer for Andruw tonight. He still sucks.

3-3 road trip, fall back to 3rd place. 0.5 back of Philly, 3.5 behind NYM.

SOS! This is getting ridiculous. Well, we're still in the hunt but I can honestly say .500 or below isn't gonna get us anywhere. Why can't we get on any hot streaks? It's always win 2 lose 2 win 1 lose two. This isn't gonna cut it for a playoff run.

And, yeah Andruw is killing us. I have taken up for him all year long but if his elbow is adding to his problems then get Willie out there more often & let Diaz roam left all the time. Diaz is playing too well for a platoon basis right now. Willie is playing great when he gets his chance. But, what does this come down to? Andruw is the one making the $ so we're gonna leave him out there as long as he wants & able. Andruw does still have 74 RBI & 21 HR but he's killing us really. He can still play that D though but it's not making up for his sorry performance at the plate. He has the lowest BA of all regular position players in MLB. Geez! I think we should at least give him a couple games off & see if that will help him any. He's just really struggling badly. He looks like a little leaguer trying to hit MLB pitching right now. Thanks guys!
