Boy, It Really Does Just KILL the Braves to Score a Run

[the_orangekat]

As a Braves fan, this has been a long-standing frustration for years. Last year's choke at the end of the year. Fruitless offense in past 'one and done' Wild Card playoffs. Now, same shit new season, I see Bourn lead off the game with a double and manage to find a way to get caught trying to take home on a wild pitch. It just kills these retards to score a run.

I agree. Good pitching only gets you so far. We have no pop in the middle of the lineup.

[the_orangekat]

The Braves offense is the kind of thing that keeps pitchers like RA Dickey looking good.

Im sitting here watching this game and Gerry Davis needs to go home.

[the_orangekat]

Hilarious, this ump calls a perfect strike a ball to Bay, wow.

who dat?

[BigBoi]

The home plate umpire. Guy is calling perfect pitches balls and balls on the out edges strikes that are borderline.

[the_orangekat]

Bourn the only one who can hit this woman.

[BigBoi]

And David Wright. Oh you were talking about Dickey......

Give Dickey some respect, great pitcher, 60 starts last 2 years for the Mets, sub 3.00 E.R.A. overall, and once the weather warms up he is even better, 2.80 E.R.A post All-Star break...

Warm weather early this year = another sub 3.00 campaign... not just the Braves who can't hit him...

[the_orangekat]

Oy vay, 2-0, that should do it with this impotent line-up.

Career 4.34 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, career opp BA .276...we talking about the same guy here? You must be a Muts fan.

[the_orangekat]

A 37 year old'er who throws 70 MPH. I would not show any SP like that any respect.

[w@lt]

I took the under. Woot. I hope...

Seriously dude, he's been a knuckle ball pitcher for 2 seasons, and his CAREER E.R.A. as a knuckle-baller is sub 3.00 ...

Plus the fact that he throws a 70-80 MPH knuckle ball is why he is so good, one of the fastest knuckle balls ever if I'm not mistaken... and most of them are from the 77-79 MPH range btw...

[ram749]

Braves have no offense whatsoever , R.A is giving the da big D !! Complete game shutout looks good!! Braves can not will not and should not win this game!!! Sucks I liked em today , sad!

[captrobey]

Finally and some hope for the Over maybe this will wake the Braves offense up.

[ram749]
