Hudson Looks To Keep Win Streak Alive
May 7, 2008 – 6:00 pmComing off his complete game in his last outing, Tim Hudson looks to keep the strong defense going tonight against the Padres in the second game of the three-game series which ends tomorrow with an afternoon game. With Smoltz out of the rotation, Hudson has assumed the definite role of ace of the staff and needs to put together a series of strong starts to back up that title. The Braves’ 4-game winning streak is on the line tonight.
Tim has struggled at times this season, only getting into the 4th inning in some of his outings and showing a visible lack of speed and control that he normally possesses. If he can pitch anything like he did in his last start however, the Braves should be good to go tonight. Chipper Jones continues to have the hottest bat in the league and I’d love to see more HRs and RBI out of him throughout the rest of this series. The Braves find themselves back above .500 now at 16-15 and are only 1.5 games out of the lead in the division.

The Braves are doing really great right now, and if they continue to play the rest of the season like they are right now, I see a division title coming up.
Go Braves and good luck Huddy!!!

Hey Travis, how’re you doing.
1-0 Padres….runners on first and second, no outs. Hudson looks like he’s going to get into it with the umpire crew this evening.

Double play to end the inning….somehow we got out of that with only one run in. Hopefully Hud can get settled.

Bases loaded, no outs for Greg Norton. Single up the middle for an RBI. That makes the trade seem a little better.
