Braves in tough spot tomorrow

Doc JS · 04-08-10, 08:05 PM

it's a brutal piece of scheduling, no doubt about it...

Finish in ATL about 10 PM or so...

Get to your hotel about 5 or 6 AM...

Get about four hours of sleep before you have to get up and get to the park for a 1 PM local time start...

Now, Huddy is already there getting his rest, but it will be tough, especially if the Bravos don't rally tonight...

They are professionals. They will sleep on the plane then eat breakfast in San Fran sleep again and then go to the ballpark to hit baseballs. You guys make it seem they are coal miners.

That is why we read about these players getting into trouble at bars at 4:00 in the morning all the time

Pavy, all I'm saying is it wouldn't have been that difficult for MLB to either schedule the Braves/Cubs this afternoon today or the Giant game for tomorrow night...

White Rabbit - Jefferson Airplane

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall

And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small

When men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving slow
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know

When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember what the dormouse said;
"Keep YOUR HEAD

Yeah Braves will fail from fatigue and jetlag tomorrow.

stealthyburrito · 04-08-10, 09:11 PM

fatigue factor probably wont effect them this early in the season

I seen 1:00pm listed earlier also, now it shows everywhere as a 4:35pm start.

mtneer1212 · 04-08-10, 09:37 PM

Chipper went down tonight -- looks like the old strained oblique -- day to day -- doubtful for a cross country trip and day game

I may load up on ATL after reading this.

qhdlhdjtn · 04-08-10, 10:33 PM

im on sanfan tomorow

Brock Landers · 04-08-10, 10:41 PM

Twins playing right now in California, god knows when they will arrive in Chicago for their game tomorrow night, maybe 6AM? I've done that red eye a couple of times, its not pleasant the next day.

Brock Landers · 04-08-10, 10:43 PM

Indians also play at 1:05 tomorrow afternoon in Detroit...still playing right now, probably the worst shape for sleep of all 3 teams mentioned

TPowell · 04-08-10, 10:44 PM

love Detroit tommorow. Liked Atlanta until reading this and hearing about Chipper

Dude, I just copied & pasted real quick from the first site that had it, do you really think I took the time to read them to check if they were correct? And please dont call me a gen x'er

TPowell · 04-08-10, 10:49 PM

Another good one here:

Toronto played in Texas today but has to play at around 3 PM (EST) tommorow in Baltimore.
Minnesota STILL playing in LA but has to play at 8 PM (EST) tommorow in Chicago

Brock Landers · 04-08-10, 10:51 PM

The Cleveland situation is by far the worst though..playing at 1:05 tomorrow afternoon, thats like less than 12 hours in a different city

TPowell · 04-08-10, 10:51 PM

White Sox and Tigers should be two solid plays tommorow IMO. Liriano isn't the same guy and Minny should be dead tired against Chicago who will be sleeping in their own beds as well as throwing John Danks who has been really good the last couple years.

krk1030 · 04-08-10, 10:52 PM

It's the first week of the season, i think they can handle it.

Liriano looked nasty in some game in the off-season, not sure if it was winter ball or spring training but his slider was filthy.

KingKolzig · 04-08-10, 11:03 PM

SF didnt even play today. that wraps it up for me im on SF tomorrow
