First Quarter Grades Pt2 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Ok we did the Offense First. You can find Part 1 here. Now it’s time for the Pitching Staff. -==Starting Rotation==- RHP John Smoltz What’s not to say about a future Hall Of Famer? Smoltzy is again proving his case for the hall again this year. As of right now, he ranks 3rd in the NL win Wins, and [...] ...

Cormier makes rehab start.. 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Not quite what the Braves were looking for I’m sure, though I know that he really needs to get back into the Braves rotation. I’m not sure how much more I can handle of Redman and Lerew. Hell, Lerew can’t get past the 3rd inning. Here’s how the last Rehab start went for Mr. Cormier. Lance Cormier [...] ...

Aybar getting help? 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Well it seems that Willie Aybar is finally getting the help he needs. Suspended Braves infielder Willy Aybar is a patient in a substance-abuse rehabilitation clinic, a baseball official familiar with the situation told the Journal-Constitution on Saturday. The length of his stay is supposed to be determined by doctors there, according to the official, who [...] ...

Bill Buckner 0000-00-00 00:00:00 For those of you who don’t know, I’m in radio. I do afternoons on a classic rock station, and I’m also the radio groups Production/Creative Services Director. This afternoon I’m doing a live remote broadcast from a sporting goods store here in Medford. As part of their big shindig this afternoon I will be meeting none [...] ...

Prado recalled from Richmond 0000-00-00 00:00:00 The Braves have placed Anthony Lerew on the 15-Day disabled list with elbow tendinitis and recalled Infielder Martin Prado from AAA Richmond. He was hitting over .300 in Richmond. He should be in Boston for todays final games against the BoSox. Hat tip goes to Martin over at TalkingChop. ...

Happy Felix Day! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Today the King takes on the Padres Justin Germano to wrap up the weekend tilt with the San Diego Padres. Hopefully Felix wont be as rusty as his last outing, his first back from the DL with a cranky elbow. Of course this game will be broadcast on CW11 in Seattle, therefore I will miss out [...] ...

Ugly Road Trip 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I don’t think a 4-6 road trip is exactly what the Braves were looking for when they headed into Washington and Boston. Still with all that said we’re only 2.5 games out of first, with the Mets dropping their final game of a 3 game tilt with the cross-town Yankees. Several Braves had [...] ...

Quote of the Day: Huddy?s bad luck.. 0000-00-00 00:00:00 If there’s one pitcher on the Braves staff that the BoSox know it’s Tim Hudson from his days in Oakland. Huddy’s never had that good of luck, and yesterday it showed. “They got me pretty quick, and early,” said Hudson, 0-5 with a 9.49 ERA in his past five starts vs. the Red Sox. “I’ve definitely [...] ...

Is there an echo in here? 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Geoff Baker echo’s something I said last week. And not to mention Derek Zumsteg of the USSM agrees as well. All I’ll say about Hernandez is that he looks like a guy who could have used a rehab assignment before stepping back in to face major league hitters. Nice to see some others coming around to [...] ...

Quote of the Day: Andruw being Andruw 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I don’t know about you but the attitude in this quote bugs the crap out of me. “I swing the bat the way I want to swing, the way I swing it all the time,” Jones said. “So some days, you’re going to have bad days and some days, you’re going to have good days.” Keep [...] ...

Ignore the guy behind the curtian 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Today marks, what I guess you could term a new era in Atlanta Braves Baseball. No, I’m not talking about moving Andruw to the 8th spot in the lineup. No, starting today the Braves are under new ownership - Liberty Media. If you haven’t been paying a lick of attention, Major League Baseball approved the sale [...] ...

preView: Braves v Mets Round III 0000-00-00 00:00:00 It’s only May, I get that, but with that said I really think that after a 4-6 road trip this series is an important one against the division leader. The Mets travel to the Ted for a 3 game mid-week tilt that could include John Smoltz’s 200th win. Which could come at the expense of [...] ...

Quote of the Day: Don?t need to trash talk 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Here’s Smoltzy on the series that kicks off today with the Mets. ?You can?t trash-talk,? the 40-year-old Smoltz said, smiling, ?when you?re facing a lineup that can humiliate you.? [snip] ?I follow them all of the time,? Smoltz said of the Mets. ?They?re probably the best team in our league. It?s hard not to follow them.? I totally [...] ...

The Mets on The Braves 0000-00-00 00:00:00 First pitch of a 6 game home stand, and the first of 3 against the Mets looms just hours away. In the mean time as we wring our hands and get ready for what’s going to be a great series no matter how you slice it. Here’s some quotes from the Mets in regards to [...] ...

Braves cut bait with Redman 0000-00-00 00:00:00 According to Rotoworld.com, the Braves have released LHP Mark Redman. With the Release of Redman the Braves have recalled Joey Devine from Double A Mississippi. With the M-Braves Devine posted a 1.61 ERA, 22/8 K/BB in 22 1/3 innings. He’ll be picking up middle relief duties for the time being. So that makes a total [...] ...
