CobaltBlue 662 Posted June 10, 2007 Author Share Posted June 10, 2007 I don't know who I hate more right now, Alfonso Soriano or Lance Cormier.I'm glad I'm on "vacation" and unable to watch most of these. Link to post Share on other sites
Freddec 0 Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 even after the loss yesterday, this west coast swing has been good for the Braves..........hopefully we can finish off SD today and be feeling good going into the allstar break..........We need to win the division because its gonna be tough to get into the wildcard..........I have a good feeling though.........just as long as Smoltz gets tht shoulder healed up soon.........

CobaltBlue 662 Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 Things have really started to turn around. I predict that Atlanta will retake the lead of the NL East on Wednesday. I'm not sure that we'll hold onto during the series with St. Louis, but I suppose it's possible. Link to post Share on other sites

CobaltBlue 662 Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 That was pretty much the sickest game in a very long time...and a pretty awful shame to lose to the Astros again that deep in extras. Link to post Share on other sites
Freddec 0 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 another series won against the Mets......we should have swept the bastids...oh well........On To Philly we march now!!!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltBlue 662 Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share Posted August 24, 2007 *sigh*Hudson/Smoltz and the offense are so good...and the rest of the pitching staff is soooo bad.Half of the team deserves to go to the playoffs and the rest don't deserve to be in the majors.

CobaltBlue 662 Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 I've been fortunate to miss most of the games lately. I hate giving up, but it's looking pretty ridiculously impossible at this point. I think we've got a better shot of winning the East than the WC since so many teams are ahead of us. In order to do that, we can probably only lose 4 more games the entire rest of the season. Considering that we've not put together any sizeable winning streaks this season, that seems unlikely.It's sad that I expect the Braves to lose games that they're not leading by 4 runs or more these days.

CobaltBlue 662 Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 Looking at the expected win-loss records...the team's really not as much of a disappointment as their actual record reflects. The Braves just haven't done well in one-run and extra-innning games (the coin flips of the baseball world). Link to post Share on other sites
Freddec 0 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 welcome back Tom Glavine...............just give us 15 wins and 200+ innings and things are good......... Link to post Share on other sites
Swift_Psycho 1 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 welcome back Tom Glavine...............just give us 15 wins and 200+ innings and things are good.........Given the state of Atlanta's non-Smoltz/Hudson rotation this past year, they'd probably be plenty happy with 10-12 wins from him.

CobaltBlue 662 Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 With the Mets picking up Santana, this year's going to be a bit more difficult. I'm also really bummed to see Renteria leave. He was an offensive catalyst when he wasn't injured. Link to post Share on other sites

CobaltBlue 662 Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 85 wins and no playoffs wwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeI think I mentioned it before, but Braves ran somewhat significantly below expectation last year. Their ExW-L was 89-73...which would've won the NL East and been good for 3rd overall in the NL. On that note, the insane anomaly of last year was Arizona pulling a 90-72 record facing 79-83 ExW-L. I'm curious if that's the biggest difference ever between actual and expected. Another cool note while looking over the 2007 standings...no team finished with a Win% below .407. I doubt that's happened in a really long time.Edit: After spending a few minutes looking...before 2007, the last season when the worst MLB team had a .407 (66-96) Win% was 1984 (the Giants).

He was an offensive catalyst when he wasn't injured.I wasn't thrilled to see him go either, but I'm comfortable with Escobar getting the full time gig. Also, the addition of Jurrjens really helps if (when) Hampton goes down again and Chuck James struggles.Plus, with the combined salaries of Edgar and Andruw coming off the books, it frees up money to throw at Teixeira.

Was down at Spring Training a couple of weeks ago and Jurrjens was extremely impressive. He almost has to have the 5 spot in the rotation locked up. Already have my tickets for the the first two games of our first home series againt Pitt. March 30 can not get here soon enough!!!!And I'm pretty sure that once we see Escobar over the course of a full season that we will see that the kid has more than enough potential to be a future All-Star Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltBlue 662 Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 Anyone else think it's odd that we open with a one game road "series"? I don't ever recall seeing that before. Link to post Share on other sites
SBriand 4 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I am jealous because you go Jurrgens. He looked really good last year when he pitched for the Tigers. I love getting Renteria for sure but I think JJ will be something special. Link to post Share on other sites
