Just love how we call up Delgado, he throws a no-no thru several innings, gives up a homer to break up the no-no, and is sent down the next day. Gotta keep the kid on a short leash lol

**Exist 2 Inspire** · 08-31-2011, 10:59 AM

Looking forward to the roster expansion tomorrow. Here's a list of AAA guys that are on the 40 man...

Teheran
Delgado
Asencio
Gearrin
Young
Hicks
Ramirez
Boscan
Varvaro
Richardson
Cordier

...that's only 11, but Moylan will come off the DL also. Gotta wonder if Erik Cordier will be cut in order to make room for Gartrell or Wes Helms.

Ok maybe I'm missing something but why the **** did we pick up Diaz again?

To face lefties instead of Heyward is my understanding.

Hopefully the trade is for McClouth.

Ok got that makes good sense actually. Got a hit on his first at bat.

DLowe with his first career long balll

**bbacn123** · 08-31-2011, 06:20 PM

Who else is upset Lowe pitched well tonight? Would rather lose all his starts from here on out in hopes he isn't a starter in the playoffs.

**jacketfan** · 08-31-2011, 07:02 PM

braves got diaz and jack wilson today..

i hope the players they traded to get them are scrubs. I liked giving constanza playing time too.

**Exist 2 Inspire** · 09-01-2011, 05:47 AM

Not crazy about the Jack Wilson move, but he's better than Lugo at least...still would have just preferred Brandon Hicks.

They DFA'd RP Dustin Richardson in order to get Wilson on the 40-man...kind of surprised that we removed him instead of Cordier because he's a decent lefty that could have been useful in the next month with Sherrill going on the DL.

**Exist 2 Inspire** · 09-01-2011, 12:15 PM

Boscan and Varvaro recalled...Wes Helms released (whew).

**MikeJones77** · 09-01-2011, 06:01 PM

when did matt diaz become a brave again, just got my power back

2 days ago...traded for a PTBN.

**Exist 2 Inspire** · 09-02-2011, 08:21 AM

Teheran was absolutely shelled last night...from what I heard, he didn't seem to care much. And I hate to say it, but from what I've seen of him this season, there may be reason to believe he might not be a great fit in the Braves clubhouse (think Yunel Escobar without the temper).

**bbacn123** · 09-02-2011, 02:38 PM

Yunel didn't have a temper he had Bobby Cox bitching him out non-stop and benching him for insignificant sh*t. Yeah he got a little too upset when he made an error, but there's worse things than having a guy who cares about his performance. Cox just couldn't deal with how he expressed himself because he's always played favorites. As soon as Yunel was on his bad list Chipper fell in behind him and it was over for Yunel after that. He never had a chance cause of Cox. They didn't even try to sit him down and talk to him. Cox just ostracized him instead.

**bbacn123** · 09-02-2011, 02:47 PM

So who does everyone want to see in the NLDS? Brewers or DBacks? We swept both teams at Turner Field this season (4 games against MIL and 3 against ARI). But lost our only two in Zona and lost 3 of 4 in Milwaukee. Personally I've never liked going out West but we dont really have the best track record against Gallardo soooo either way there's some negatives to either.

Dbacks

**BeauJ** · 09-04-2011, 10:12 AM

Haven't been swept in a three game series all fukcin season, but that ends today. Look at this ****in monster lineup Fredi assembled:

1. Bourn CF
2. Prado 1B
3. Diaz Rf
4.Uggla 2B
5. Ross C
6. Gonzalez SS
7. Wilson 3B
8. Constanza LF
9. Delgado P

Inb4 Kershaw no hitter. Goddamn Fredi is a moron. And why is everyone on this team in a 5 for 50 type slump? Larry Parish needs to go overdose on chugging horse jizz.

**bbacn123** · 09-04-2011, 12:29 PM

We've slumped a bit but with the WC already wrapped up it's really no big deal. If we're still playing like this a week before the playoffs I'll be worried but let's be honest the next 3 weeks are irrelevant.

**BeauJ** · 09-04-2011, 12:45 PM

Why in the fukc did they even play the game today? As suspected, their ******* asses are getting stomped and Kershaw is making them look like the cock beaters that they are. Oh yay, off to Philly to face Lee, Worley and Oswalt. This should end well.

Bacon, after todays loss, they have to go 9-14 to win 90 games. You think they can do it?

**bbacn123** · 09-04-2011, 12:51 PM

God you are the worst Braves fan of all time....

Ya know what Beau, no I think we'll go 0-23 the rest of the way. Is that the response you're looking for?

**bbacn123** · 09-04-2011, 12:53 PM

And the Braves just tied the game so you can stop having your little temper tantrum.

**bbacn123** · 09-04-2011, 12:54 PM

Damn Constanza is fast. Should be an every day starter dammit.

lol says the guy who threw a **** fit because the Braves added Diaz and then said it would ruin the season?

brb 5 for 8 since ruining the Braves season.

Yep his 0 RBIs and 0 Runs scored for us sure are doing wonders.

In this game alone Constanza has been more productive. What do ya know.....

Last night Constanza sat. As soon as he was put him in he immediately got a base hit and caused a balk.

But yeah Im wrong about Constanza's impact. We should keep playing Diaz and Heyward. I mean they surely would have scored from second on that Conrad hit....right? And surely they would distract a pitcher enough to draw balks. And surely they both play better defense than Constanza.

As little as you know about the Falcons you know considerably less about the Braves.

It's funny how you're so quick to jump on Diaz's nuts for 5 meaningless singles he's hit in the beginning of September.

**bbacn123** · 09-04-2011, 01:09 PM

All I know is right now we're not tied because of Heyward and Diaz. We're tied cause of (in part) Constanza today. If you're too stupid to see that then just turn off the TV now.

And I never said Diaz was a bad player in that thread. I said Constanza has been the catalyst for our offensive surge last month. And with Diaz means a reduction in the playing time for the guy who is more important to the offense.

It's just the truth. Sorry I hurt your feelings the other day when I called you out in the Falcons thread for saying we have a good defense.

Actually if you look back at any of my posts you won't see where I've ever said that Diaz should be starting over anyone. What you'll see is where you cried, bitched and moaned saying the season has been lost because the Braves added a bat that is good against LHP (5 for 8 since being traded for). Then you'll see where I lol'ed at you for being such goof ball that you didn't realize this. Then you will see where I proved my point...... THEN you will see where you totally ignore my point and do what you do best insult when I do not agree with you.

PS: Go Braves.

**bbacn123** · 09-04-2011, 01:37 PM

Sorry but Diaz is cancer to this team. Since we added him and stopped playing Constanza how many runs per game have we scored? Facts are facts. There's still a month for Fredi to cut this sh*t out and play Constanza over Heyward and Diaz.

Heyward is doing everything he can to get demoted and save this team though so there's still hope.

**bbacn123** · 09-04-2011, 01:44 PM

Since Diaz came and cut into Constanza's time:

3.6 RPG

Month of August with Constanza playing a lot:

4.48 RPG

Constanza about to be the reason we win today in the bottom of the 9th. Just watch

**bbacn123** · 09-04-2011, 01:52 PM

And Constanza sets the table for a Braves win. He should start every day no exceptions. Not starting him only hurts us. Diaz is best reserved as a PH guy for lefties.
