Thats great Albert, but it is the Rockies. I guess at this point we'll take every run we can get huh? I just hope we can put something together against some of the better pitching teams.

My thoughts are if we can gel and gain the confidence in the lineup we can ride the wave and do well against any pitching staff. We held our own against Santana and the Mets so the sky's the limit

Schafer is not hitting...need more production from CF. Pitching staff is doing good, but can they last?

Why Booby Cox lets Vasquez start the 6th after he seemed to fall apart in the 5th amazes me. What a joke we have for a manager

Not when he's been there forever. Bobby Cox is a baseball icon.

He's outlived his welcome as far as I'm concerned. What has he done the last 2 1/2 years. Icon or not, this team needs change :tu

Re: The Chop Shop
 
How many consecutive NL East titles did Cox win for the Braves? 2.5 years of no pitching, or big bats and you want to throw him out? Come on now.

The Braves need new direction. The old way is no longer working. Whats a team supposed to do?

The need some pitching and a few BIG bats.

Re: The Chop Shop
 
And they finally sent Schafer down to AAA...wonder if it was the 63 strike outs or the
.204 batting average? The boy has the glove and arm to play...but the bat just ain't there yet.

McLouth is a gamer...great pick-up!!

kelmac07 06-04-2009 08:50 PM

Re: The Chop Shop
 
Where ya at Braves fan? No comments on picking up McLouth or releasing Glavine?

awsmith4 06-04-2009 09:00 PM

Re: The Chop Shop
 
Well I think releasing Glavine was a good move, we should have never picked him back up last thing we needed was another bench warming starter. Especially one who was a traitor and played for that awful orange and blue team :D

I think McLouth was a great move, I think now we just need to start to mesh. The talent is there just needs to be coached out of the players

kelmac07 06-04-2009 09:07 PM

Well if anyone can bring it together...it's Bobby Cox.

I agree, I just wonder if he's not getting tired of the ownership not funding the team

Looks like the Bravos may be trying to trade for Brad Penny. If this happens, it could be very cool! Link: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4234548

Bruins Fan 06-05-2009 04:57 PM

Re: The Chop Shop
 
What kind of player is Francoeur four homers 25 RBI ?
We don't need Penny fly ball pitchers are trouble in the AL East, plus the Sox's have pitchers stacked up waiting to come up:D

Bruzee 06-05-2009 05:09 PM

Re: The Chop Shop
 
Francoeur has a lot of potential. He is streaky and unreliable. I guess the Braves want to off load him because of his contract. Not sure otherwise. And, we'd happily take Penny off your hands. He'll do well in the NL. :2

kelmac07 06-05-2009 05:11 PM

Re: The Chop Shop
 
Won't be long before Tommy Hanson is up and pitching.

Bruins Fan 06-05-2009 05:13 PM

Re: The Chop Shop
 
If they trade Penny is making 5.2 million?
The Sox are also talking to the Phillys about a SS they have in the minors supposedly a top prospect?

Tonight marked Bobby's 2000th win as a Brave as well as put us back at .500 for the season. Just 5.5 games back so we are easily still in the race!

I'm still here. I will call for his head until he is gone.

Re: The Chop Shop
 
Be careful what you wish for, Steve - the only thing Cox hasn't done in Hot'Lanta during his tenure is win more rings. As a Tar Heel, I can sympatize - hey, it ain't easy.

kelmac07 06-20-2009 12:35 PM

Re: The Chop Shop
 
Steve...he has you 5.0 game back with a depleted pitching staff and hitters that aren't getting it done!!! What more do you want?

shvictor 06-21-2009 01:02 AM

Re: The Chop Shop
 
This team has played very uninspired ball for 2 plus years now. I just think change might be good. It couldn't hurt at this point
