BigSammyK 171 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Dodgers are putting Kershaw on the hill again tonight after throwing 124 pitches on Thursday. He's never pitched on short rest before in his career. Hopefully this works out in the Braves favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be patient,have good AB's in the early innings and build up his pitch count.Then we can touch him up around the fourth or fifth inning.

around4ever 4,139 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 They are hoping to get three or four innings out of him and turn it over to their bullpen. It has done quite well in this series. It's time for the Braves offense to show up and go crazy tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
around4ever 4,139 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Uggla was left off the playoff roster.... He was left off the NLDS roster. That does not mean that they can't put him back on should they advance to the NLCS. Yep He is very popular with the players. It was a good move for the Braves to allow him to dress and be in the dugout but I still think it affected some of the guys knowing Uggla can't play.

BornAU76 398 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 At least AU can get 100% of my focus now...Bravos are done, Falcons stink; Saturday's are all I can look forward to sports wise... It was a good season and they have a lot to be proud of and to build upon next season. With Huddie and McCann's $ (and I think a few other busts) coming off the payroll maybe the Braves can go out and get an Ace, a true #1. Not sure who would be available but gotta make some changes to that roster to get over this hump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bro Johnny Mac 1,394 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Good year for the Braves.I still don't know how they won 96 games with Uggla and BJ playing so badly.Not to mention all of the injuries we went through.They were just a scrappy team with a lot of heart.

I think for certain that McCann goes but it would be nice to see Hudson come back and make some additional contributions for he Braves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUTUmike 79 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Sounds like there's a good chance that Hudson is back with Atlanta next year. Hopefully McCann will not be. I think it's unlikely the Braves can find another team willing to pay $6 million of Uggla's owed $26 million, as Mark Bowman reported. And speaking of a true #1 starter, I read an article a couple weeks ago about the possibility of David Price to Atlanta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see them bringing back Huddy for another year, we'll see. Price is out there and I think they can make the money work, too. Man, we could use a #1 to go with Minor, Teheran, Medlin and Beachy (maybe Huddy). You are talking about a solid line-up as, hopefully, these young arms can continue to get better.

BigSammyK 171 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 There are rumors of the Braves trading Uggla and a top prospect for Brandon Phillips. When I first heard about this I absolutely loved the idea because Phillips is a beast both in the infield and behind the plate but the more I've looked into it it sounds like he's not very well liked or respected in his own dugout. The Braves usually shy away from guys like that. However if we could deal for him knowing that he'd fit in (personality-wise) that would be a huge lift.

We need to move on from Uggla, Philips would be a huge asset to the Braves. And, they have a good record with 'questionable' players, remember Sheffield? We are one field position player and one pitcher from making a serious run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUTUmike 79 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 A few Braves Spring Training notes: -Medlen left his last start with a strained forearm -Freeman and Heyward have started the spring strong at the plate -Ramero Pena has also started strong coming off of his injury last year; this is significant because I could see Uggla getting replaced by Pena pretty quickly if both players' respective trends continue -On the mound, Freddy Garcia has struggled badly; Alex Wood is doing great; Teheran and Beachy are both pitching pretty solid. -Bullpen numbers are hard to dissect with such small samples, but the Braves have great depth there and should have the best pen in the league this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUTUmike 79 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Medlen may have ligament damage in his elbow. Tommy John surgery is uncertain at this point but it looks likely he will, at minimum, miss a portion of the season. Big blow if this holds him out more than a month or so.

augolf1716 21,139 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 That was one hell of a game last night. To bad Santana pitched a good game not to come out the winner. back to back to back homers then lose the lead the next inning just to have Ug's hit a grand slam top of the 9th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
