augolf1716 21,303 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 If i remember right, the Yankees started the same way last season. They ended up not doing so bad in the end. So true, hopefully the same thing will happen this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUBwins 10,088 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I read on the Braves website that Glaus said the Angels team that won the World Series had the same early struggles with an identical record at the time of the comment 10-14. He said they knew they had the team to do it but just werent playing like it. He said the same attitude is the same for Atlanta this year. Hopefully he will be prohetic and the braves will make a run. If J-hey keeps it up we will be in good shape. I wish Chipper would move out of the 3 spot for the good of the team. A .200 hittwer in the 3 is killing us, at least til he finds the stroke again. Right now he is a double play machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUFightingSoldiers 685 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I know it sounds crazy but I like the idea of McCann, Heyward or Prado in the 3 hole. The whole spot of the 3 hole is to have someone that can offer production in the first inning. That's why Pujols hits third for the Cardinals. Prado is the most consistent hiter on the team BY FAR, so he will produce. Heyward has the power to do it, plus he'd get pitches with McCann waiting behind him. If you move McCann up then hiot Glaus four (he's swingin a hot stick right now) and Heyward fifth. It would look like this: Cabrera/Escobar/Mclouth Prado McCann Glaus Heyward Chipper Cabrera/Escobar/Mclouth Cabrera/Escobar/Mclouth (pitcher) Now when Tim Hudson witches you'd have to account for David Ross playing so you could go: Cabrera/Escobar/Mclouth Prado Heyward Glaus Chipper Cabrera/Escobar/Mclouth Ross Cabrera/Escobar/Mclouth (pitcher) Then you can always wut Diaz in for Mclouth or Cabrera.

AUBwins 10,088 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 If there is any team I want to stick it to this year ... it is the gNats. When we were rolling at times last year, they would beat us a majority of the time even though we were far superior. I hope they bring up strasburg so we can welcome him properly.

around4ever 4,139 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 The Nats were a big reason why the Braves didn't make the playoffs. The Braves could not beat the Nats for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thacheetah11 18 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 At least Glaus is starting to come along. We just suck at RISP right now. It's so frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta keep our hopes up, though, because if they all start clicking at the same time then that team can do some damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBwins 10,088 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I was most impressed with the plate discipline he showed by laying off the livan hernandez curve for ball 4 on a full count. His swing reminds me of Crime Dog McGriff; he gets good wood on the ball but you dont realize how much power is in the swing when he makes contact ... you just see it go over the center field wall. Wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
