The Upton brothers have two hits between them


Apr 4, 2014, 3:02 PM

In 27 at-bats. But that's only two less than the number of runs the Braves have given up as a team so far. Braves starters have pitched 18.2 consecutive scoreless innings, including David Hale's five goose-eggs so far today.

It looks like BJ Upton did wonders working on his swing

this off-season :(

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Only four games in...long, long way to go.***

Doesn't seem like it matters anyway, the only numbers that

do in BJ's case begins with a dollar sign.

Indeed...he ain't going nowhere.***

One of them decided not to field a ball today


Apr 4, 2014, 3:32 PM

Nearly cost the Braves a run. From what I saw, the ball wasn't lodged under the padding to the extent that it would've impeded Upton from actually picking it up. When he finally did go pick it up, he easily got it out. But I guess the reasoning is that he couldn't have known that when he threw his hands up.

He did what he was supposed to do.

If the ball sticks, immediately throw your hands up and call the ball dead. The umpires should get the call right, and they did.

"easily got it out"


Apr 4, 2014, 3:38 PM

That has no bearing on whether a ball is in play or not. If the ball is lodged, no matter how easy it may be to get out, it is out of play.

So, the correct play is to do nothing? Baseball is grate.***

What would you expect a player to do for a ball that is dead***

Over 80% of a game spent standing around waiting or

sitting on a bench waiting. It's America's pass time. Football is America's entertainment.

Heyward, Freeman, and Johnson have been 90%

of the Braves' offense through four games.

They haven't needed much, considering the great start the staff is off to.

Eventually, there will be a book on these


Apr 4, 2014, 3:48 PM

guys that nobody has seen yet and the pitching injuries will catch up.

badge-donor-05yr.jpgringofhonor-aero.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

They still have Minor, Santana, and Floyd on the way.


Apr 4, 2014, 3:51 PM

The guys nobody has seen will be in AAA then.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

You think Floyd will be a savior?***


Apr 4, 2014, 3:52 PM



badge-donor-05yr.jpgringofhonor-aero.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

No. He'll be the Braves' 5th-best starter, I hope.***

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Braves pitching has pitched out of jams very well today


Apr 4, 2014, 4:03 PM [ in reply to Heyward, Freeman, and Johnson have been 90% ]

Not so much for the Nationals.
