Comments on: 7/23 vs. Marlins http://www.bravesblast.com/2008/07/23/623-vs-marlins/ Analysis of our favorite Atlanta Braves. Wed, 17 Mar 2010 01:07:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Bud http://www.bravesblast.com/2008/07/23/623-vs-marlins/comment-page-1/#comment-6248 Bud Mon, 02 Feb 2009 00:35:15 +0000 http://www.bravesblast.com/2008/07/23/623-vs-marlins/#comment-6248 Obviously, not having Chipper in the lineup this weekend in Philly hurts the already distant chances of sweeping this series, which the Braves really need to do. If Hoss is out for any significant time, this may be the absolute final nail in the coffin. Hudson looked great last night, then didn't seem too worried about the tightness in his forearm. And will we finally see Mike Hampton's return to the mound? Will his arm fall off walking in from the bullpen? Will a bird poop on Hampton, causing him to wrench his neck as he tries to avoid the falling object and sending him back to the DL. Stay tuned. As for Blanco: Yeah, the inconsistency is maddening. Plays great leading into the West Coast trip, then struggles in L.A. and San Diego. Good for two games, rotten for two games. And I, too, have noticed the whining. Dude, you're a rookie, you play for a team that's six games out of first place. Shut up and go sit down. Good win last night. Off day, then on to Philly.

I like the speed, more consistency and this guy can really be a leadoff-type with his speed. Brian Roberts-type growth potential at the plate?

We should send it in to snopes.com with the glurge: "Mike Hampton comes back from injury" and it'll be like "False, Contrary to popular sports' website reports, Mike Hampton did not come back from injury. In his latest escapade with the disabled list, he attempted to throw a knuckle ball in a bullpen session and the ball pushed his nails into his fingers causing severe bleeding and a trip to the DL."

I'm pretty sure all of our pitchers will have made at least a trip or two by the end of the season. We're keeping the concept of the DL in business this season, that's for sure.

We'll have to see what info they come out<br />with today.<br />As for Gregor, don't get me wrong, I'm still quite happy that he's on<br />the team and all that, but it seems like at least once again, I find<br />myself wondering why he whines so much. I'm surprised he hasn't gotten<br />himself tossed at least once this season for it, especially with how<br />our umpiring interactions have been going.

We need all the help we can get against Philly. Yeah, the Falcons'll lose whether you watch or not so that seems like a much better option. We need all the help we can get against Philly.
