Da Braves

Bravos 12-4 in the last 16 games and is currently up 7-1 over the Pirates going into the 7th. Martin Prado has another 3 hit night for the 3rd time in the last 4 games. Braves bats are alive right now and everything seems to be going their way. Pitching also looking solid. Lowe has worked 6 so far giving up 3 hits and 1 run.

McCann has sat for the last two nights and backup catcher Ross has 3 doubles and 5 RBIs in those games. Ross is proving himself to be more than serviceable and it will go a long way towards the end of the season with McCann getting adequate rest.

Braves sweep the Pirates. 5 in a row, 15 of the last 19. The combination of Prado and Heyward in the top 2 spots over the last 10 days have been unbelievable. 29 hits, 17 RBIs and 17 runs scored.

Phillies roll into town for a 3 game series starting tomorrow with a .5 game lead over the Braves. Braves will have a tough time with Hamels, but they get Kendrick and Blanton in the other two. Hopefully they can get 2 out of 3 before the long road trip.

1st place

Tonight Hamels v Hudson. Should be a good one.

Troy Glaus is killing the ball, big game tonight.

We've got election crap going on. I've purchased some tickets for the Detroit series coming up at the end of this month.

Braves take game 2 from the Phillies 7-3. Troy Glaus put another one out driving in 3 for the Braves. He's absolutely killing it right now. Yunel Escobar finally starting to come around also.

Braves can sweep tomorrow with Lowe going up against Kendrick.

The rain screwed us on the pitching match-up.

Not Hudson's best stuff, but he battled to get to 6-1. The rain delay was probably to blame. Would love to see him get an All-Star selection.

The long road swing for the Braves coming up is going to be tough. It would be nice to come off a sweep then have the Padres come in to Philly and take kick some ass.

The key is at least splitting the series with the Dodgers. They are also playing great ball right now, so going 2-2 against them on the road will be a huge success.

Braves sweep the Phillies and extend the winning streak to 8. Lowe didn't pitch a great game, but he was able to get out of a lot of trouble with ground ball pitches and stayed in long enough to get the victory.

Off to the west coast, and Go Braves!!!!

The sweep against the Phillies was a great way to end the homestand.

I consider 8 IP and 1 ER a damn good start. He seemed to have pretty good control all day today.

Going back and looking at the box score, only giving up 6 hits in 8 innings is a very good start. Maybe him being in trouble in two innings distorted my view of the game. I thought for sure he was going to get touched up with the bases loaded and one out in the 3rd. Aside from the 3rd and 8th innings, it was a damn good start. So, I stand corrected.

Yes it was. Only wish Troy had hit that ball just a touch harder.

Nice seats. Looked like a decent crowd for an early afternoon Wednesday game.

Buzz Killington · « **Reply #36 on:** June 02, 2010, 08:55:59 PM »

I never heard a number but the lower levels were pretty full and there were some folks in the upper levels as well.

FYI...the 755 Club is teh awesome as well. That was my first trip up there.

Wow were those SunTrust seats...or Henry Aaron Seats? Either way, pretty awesome. I want to sit in the SunTrust section at least once at some point.
