Written by Jonathan on May 9, 2008 – 6:49 pm

The Braves closed a dominant homestand to start off the month of May, winning all 6 games to extend their best-in-league home record to 14-4. However, the road games are where the Braves have struggled thus far this season, only amassing 4 wins in 15 tries. The Braves put their 6-game winning streak on the line against the Pirates to open up a 4-game series in Pittsburgh.

Tom Glavine will be on the mound for the Braves tonight, looking for his first win of the season. Glavine was 1-out short of getting a win against the Reds last week, but just couldn’t make it out of the inning. Tonight, I look to see Glavine keep the Braves in the game while the offense tries to provide the needed run support. Let’s get above .500 for the road trip, guys!

Lots of work today . . . I’ll be keeping up with this one via slingbox and MLB gameday….

We need to win on the road!

Tom Glavine needs a win tonight!

He really does. He still doesn’t have one back in a Braves uniform!

I don’t really know if he’s 100% healed from the hammy problem yet.
By Jonathan on May 9, 2008 | Reply

Top 1st:
- Kelly Johnson strikes out swinging. 1 out.
- Escobar grounds out to second. 2 out.
- Chipper Jones grounds out to second. 3 out.

Not much there for the Braves in the first.

Your probably right, I hope they can get the game in.

Me too. The weather that rolled through here over the weekend is up that way now.
By Brandon on May 9, 2008 | Reply

Nate McLouth has been doing awesome this season from what I’ve seen.
By Jonathan on May 9, 2008 | Reply

Bottom 1st:
- Freddy Sanchez grounds out to third. 1 out.
- Nate McLouth grounds out to second. 2 out.
- Jason Bay flies out to Francoeur in right. 3 out.

1-2-3 for Glavine in the first. Good start.
By Jonathan on May 9, 2008 | Reply

McLouth has been on fire. He’s got 9 homers as of last time I checked a couple of days ago. Hopefully we can hold him to a few small hits this series.
By Jonathan on May 9, 2008 | Reply

Top 2nd:
- Teixeira goes to the track in center but caught by McLouth. 1 out.
- McCann doubles to right.
- Francoeur robbed on a great catch by Nady. 2 out.
- Kotsay drives one to the track in center, leaping by McLouth to save the run and the inning. 3 out.

McLouth and Nady . . . always destroying us defensively.
By Brandon on May 9, 2008 | Reply

Wow, hes good defensively too!
By Jonathan on May 9, 2008 | Reply

Yeah he can; he tore us apart in the field during the home opening series.
By Jonathan on May 9, 2008 | Reply

Bottom 2nd:
- Ryan Doumit singles to right.
- Xavier Nady flies out to right. 1 out.
- Adam LaRoche grounds into a fielder’s choice. 2 out. Runner on first.

No damage done on the leadoff single.

Top 3rd:
- Gregor Blanco grounds out to short. 1 out.
- Tom Glavine grounds out to short. 2 out.
- KJ walks.
- Johnson steals second.
- Yunel strikes out swinging. 3 out.

Another runner left in scoring position. We need to capitalize on some of these.

I liked the Pirates growing up since my dad was a Pirates fan . . . and their stadium is gorgeous to go to. I just don’t like them when we’re playing them.

Give Kelly props for good base running. Too bad we seem to always leave our runners on base…
By Jonathan on May 9, 2008 | Reply

It was solid baserunning…good to see us trying to get runners in scoring position.
By Jonathan on May 9, 2008 | Reply

Bottom 3rd:
- Brian Bixler singles up the middle.
- Ian Snell bunts but doesn’t run the ball out thinking it’s foul. Double play. 2 out.
- Sanchez strikes out looking. 3 out.

Looks like that ball should have been called foul but I’ll take it.
By Brandon on May 9, 2008 | Reply

I’m glad McCann picked it up quick to start the double play!
By Susan on May 9, 2008 | Reply

I’ll take it too. I really liked that double play.

Me too, great play by Yunel to grab it as well.

How’s everyone doing tonight? I’m still working on a Friday. No fun.

- Tex lines out to center, right at McLouth. 1 out.
- McCann walks. Runners on first and second.
- Frenchie strikes out swinging. 2 out.
- Kotsay pops out to short. 3 out.

Stranded two more. Slingbox is a bit laggy, so I think I heard everything right that inning.

- Nady grounds out to short. 1 out.
- LaRoche grounds hard to first. Tex with a diving grab and toss to Glavine. 2 out.

Glavine’s line 7.0 Innings (good), 2 ER on the last out …and some other stuff, you know K’s, walks.

I was actually surprised to see them let Glavine go this far, but if we can get some runs here maybe he can get that win!
By Jonathan on May 9, 2008 | Reply

Yeah, it’s a hard call . . . much better than his outing against the Reds though.

Marte in to pitch for the Pirates.

Top 8th:
- Yunel grounds out to short. 1 out.
- Chipper flies out gently to right on a 3-0 count. I don’t think we should be greenlighting him right now. 2 out.
- Tex singles past short.
- McCann drops one in to left field in front of Bay. Runners on first and second.

Marte’s coming out. We need a little two-out magic here.
By Jonathan on May 9, 2008 | Reply

I wish we could get some things started with less than two outs for once.
By Brandon on May 9, 2008 | Reply

If they would have not had the greenlight on Chipper, it would be at least tied now.

Well, a lot of two-out production there to tie up the game. Let’s hold them here in the bottom half and get to work on gaining the lead.

Yeah, pretty much. Midget mud wrestling never sleeps. I did re-layout the roster page today however to give it a cleaner look, what do you think?

If it works, I’ll go with it . . . but I just don’t want to see our pen getting worn out down the stretch.

Is it me, or is Yunnel throwing kinda low to first?
By Jonathan on May 9, 2008 | Reply

He’s gotten strange hops on those last two that he’s had to rush the throws. I think he’s just releasing a little late to get the throw off.

Why do they trade or sign good free-agents, only to let them go; and the teams they perform great for their new teams. New franchise teams seem to be able to re-build after terrible seasons, why can't the Braves ?

- guest_6049 : kent who else are they going to give up besides prospects who we seem to ship off every chance we get. Its not like they want to give up anyone else. we need to keep prospects. It seems like the Texas Rangers are full of great talent because of the Tex trade why would they want to give up their whole farm system?
- guest_3601 : It would be nice to see the Braves move Frenchy. I heard he may go to the Marlins
- Kent : guest_6049, I disagree that they're only willing to give up Frenchy. They've still got trading chips, and they'll use them (responsibly).
- Kent : That said... it's unusual to see a June impact deal (such as McLouth). Whatever the Braves get, it probably won't be until July.
- Kent : I'm certain Wren is working the phones. And I think another deal will be made for one more bat.
- guest_6049 : the only thing they are willing to give up is frenchy and no one wants that pos
- guest_6049 : the braves are to cheap to get anyone worth a crap
- guest_1000 : any rumors who the braves are looking at as far as a big bat
- guest_5894 : Eff the Braves. They are a joke now. What a sham of an organization. This thing needs to be blown up and stared over. If we are going to suck then lets suck with the young and inexpensive. The current roster is not going to win.
- guest_3846 : We are getting our butts kicked again. I am calling it now. The season is over. Let's try to get what we can for Lowe and Vazquez. Not sure what to do with Kawakami but it looks like a nunmber 4 or 5 starter to me and that is an expensive 4 or 5.
- guest_6118 : hey retards r u there
- guest_5744 : is any one there
- guest_6118 : and why did the braves even express intrest in brad penny we need a big bat not pitching
- guest_6118 : francoeur sucks
- Michael Ramm : Colin: agree, I don't know why we wasted time with Glavine anyway. The departure was harsh, but needed.
- TR : Francouer and Johnson... the new Shaffer!
- guest_8601 : Hope you will include our Nats Blog on your links: www.centerfieldgate.com
- Colin : I'm not sorry to see Glavine go. I was worried we were spending a lot of money on him for a very marginal return.
- Jonathan : So Glavine's hitting the road. Can't say I saw that one coming, but I can't really blame the Braves.
- Theo : I'm tired of watching a team, owned by an out-of-town partnership... Giving us a .500 team...what gives with that?
- guest_1666 : lose shaeffer... Fast!!!
- guest_1666 : please get an outfield that can hit!!!
- Jonathan : Nice that I finally get to watch a Braves game. Vacation took away my ability to do that for a week.
