Atlanta Braves

hehe. last year was different because half the team was injured. that's when RJ had his perfect game against them. they were starting nick green, mark derosa, etc. this year.... well, lets just hope they turn it around.

i think modesi will be fine, and i still think laroche will improve on last year, but maybe langerhans needs to start taking some PT away from jordan.

I'm thinking of spot starting Patterson. I know he's facing Smoltz, but with that offense pressing and sputtering, the K upside is just too irresistible to pass up.

With my luck, going from a sinker baller like Day to a guy who likes to rack up the Ks will be just the break the Braves need to bust out of their slump; but if not... who knows?

[jbones733]

it's because the nat's pitchng staff is too dominant


patterson will get it done tomorrow as well

you know it, just added him as my 7th starter

Their offense is sleeping again today.

Their offense is sleeping again today.

As a Smoltz owner, this stinks. I thought it was bad owning Westbrook, but both him and Smoltz?

The Braves really need to start hitting the ball.

This is way too reminiscent of the '03 Dodgers. It makes me sick.

i was thinking about maybe trading for andruw, but like someone else said, he looks lost at the plate right now.

[RynMan]

They werent great early on last year either, but hey, Bobby Cox makes it work somehow.

[brandnew]

Yeah, but last year they had Mark Derosa, Nick Green, Mike Hessman, and Jesse Garcia in the starting lineup(s). This lineup is all we got this year. Seems they woke up a bit today... let's hope LaRoche, Andruw, Ponch, and Furcal can get it going.
