Hey, is everybody still happy we got Teheran out of the game? You have to beat the Braves in the first 6 innings - especially when they have a doo doo pitcher on the mound.

yup, now it's impossible. O'Flaherty will pitch the 8th vs the two LH hitters and then Kimbrel the 9th. Advantage Braves.

We have the best announcers in baseball not named Vin Scully #nohomer

Don Sutton on the radio is outstanding. We missed him when he was up in Washington for a year.

Cinci has a good pair, and the Mets as well. Last week, Keith Hernandez was explaining the difference between the French impressionists and the pointillist painters...and discussing proper foot-work at 1B.

Was thinking more who is hotter this year, but you might be right, Jordanz.

Clippard pulls a Clippard. leadoff walk to the #8 hitter. so typical.

Have to rely on the bullcrappen.

why are you walking Gerald Laird.

I wish the ignore button made it so I can't see that Hobby even made another post. Oh, well.

Grrrr. Strassburg was getting better and better.

This is why we needed to win the game with Teheran in the game.

We will not win any battle of the bullpens, especially vs the Braves' top-notch group.

Ive just had a rotten feeling all night

I wish Lombo was good, he just hasn't shown it. He's replacement-level.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #689 on:** April 29, 2013, 09:30:01 pm »

keep nibbling you fool. I hate our pitchers.

FP: "No one's a bigger fan of the bunt than I am."

I know a certain guy who might be managing one of the teams in this game who is.

I'm tired of Clippard.

Or just a return to regular Clippard. No walks.

Large Mouth Bass (freshwater).. Kinda wish I'd of gotten a flats boat that could take the salt, but I ended up with a bassboat..

I don't know. I really think Yankees announcers John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman are a cut above everyone else.

This entire pitching staff needs to be redone. I want pitchers who don't seem to have command of their fast balls less than half the time.

Well.... I mean one shouldn't even have to mention the great Vin Scully, everybody knows and acknowledges that he is a living legend.

True about Vin, though if you've listened to him the last couple of years it's clear he's losing his mental sharpness. Makes a lot of unforced errors.

Still, his delivery is sublime.

Jon Miller is still tops in my book.
