DEL.ICIO.USGotta love your team, for better or worse
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Braves showed their knack for turning games into one-run losses again last night. With the Bravos headed into the ninth down 5-3, I was thinking, At least it’s not another one-run heartbreaker. Then Brian McCann’s double drove in Mark Kotsay to make it 5-4, and that thought became, Oh no, not again. You just knew it was going to end there, giving them 11 losses in 12 one-run games.
Despite that, there was a bright spot: After the game, everyone was raving about Jo-Jo Reyes, even though he gave up five earned runs on 11 hits in 6-2/3 innings. He threw 27 first-pitch strikes to the 32 batters he faced, 74 strikes out 105 pitches overall without a walk.
It’s strange to say a five-run, 11-hit outing was a solid one, but there you have it. According to Chipper Jones, “Jo-Jo pitched a really good game. He just got dinked and doinked to death.”
The warm reception in clubhouse isn’t surprising — players usually support their teammates — but sometimes the fans’ reactions can be a different story. Consider the rude treatment former Brave Andruw Jones gets at Dodgers Stadium, where even his Mother’s Day message on the video board was booed.
L.A. fans have been voicing their frustration with Andruw’s .170 average and single, solitary home run loudly and without reservation. The Braves former center fielder told the AP he’d never heard such a negative reaction.
I think that’s something Braves fans can be proud of: Unlike Yankees fans, Mets fans, Dodgers fans, Phillies fans, etc., we don’t rail on our guys one minute and then embrace them and expect them to love us back the next (at least not en masse out in public).
Earlier this year, Mets fans, who had booed Carlos Delgado mercilessly during an extended slump, wanted a curtain call after a big home run, and many were surprised when he refused. Can’t say that I blame him.
I understand these guys get paid well and are expected to earn that money and that people have a right to express themselves. But the players are human, they’re going to have tough stretches. As a fan, if you want to really enjoy the good times with your team, you have to endure the bad along with them, too. The Braves fans who’ve followed this team more than, say, 17 years get that.
What do you think about players being booed for bad performances? Does it annoy you when fans boo and curse their own players one minute and then cheer for them the next if they produce, or is that just part of the game?
If the Braves had played as badly at home as they have on the road, do you think they’d be booed by their fans?

Best home record,worst road record.
You know where that gets you?
.500

This team - at $100 million in payroll - has .500 written all over it. Compare and contrast, the Florida Marlins, way ahead of Atlanta in the standings and playing with just $20 million in payroll. Overmatched Frank Wren, of course, is to blame for this mess. By all means, dump Boris Texeira for young pitching, audition the young outfield, first base and second base prospects, and get some speed at the top of the lineup. If we’re going to finish .500, I’d much rather do it with players who want to be Braves, and want to start the second wave of Brave greatness. I live in LA, Chop Chick, the fans here have a soccer match mentality, and boo like crazy at Dodger games. Southerners are too worried about what Jesus will think to publicly boo.

I was in the stands last night when Phillies “fans” booed their closer Brad Lidge when he walked a Braves batter. Before last night, Lidge had given up no earned runs in 18 games/innings and now is 10 for 10 in saves, a very impressive record, no doubt all-star quality. The fan sitting next to me said they were booing the ump… I think not, ball four did not look close to me. I kinda feel sorry for boo-ers… they must live a sad life; enjoy the game, root for the players… boo bad behavior not honest effort.

You pay 38 million to someone and they hit 170, k every other time up and don’t show no love! What do you expect? I feel sorry for AJ because I like him, but I’m glad he’s gone. I love my X-wife but I’m Glad she’s gone! I like Bobby Cox but I will be Glad when he’s gone. I refuse to go back to Turner Field till Bobby Cox is gone, but as a person I like the old Fart. You pay good Money to Cheer or Boo, this is America, or use to be.

fieldofdreams your a bandwagon idiot. When the braves turn it on, you will probably be ther first to sing Wren’s praises. Wren’s done a pretty damn good job considering everything. We have the lowest ERA in the majors, we have just been plagued with injuries and haven’t got into a groove hittin consistently. And we are only 38 games into it. We will pick it up and when we do how bout you just sit back and pull for your Marlins and their 20 Million budget. Enjoy your youngsters, I’ll take Chipper, John and the old guys to the bank every time. GO BRAVES!!

I think players should only be booed for lack of effort. If you ground out and don’t hussle to first you deserved to get booed. If they are giving honest effort I don’t see how booing helps your team. Go Braves

To hate on a player when things are going bad is indicative of selfish, spoiled spectators who can in no sense of the word be considered true fans. NYC is notorious as a haven for these type of spectators, so much so, that some players will take less money to avoid playing before such an obnoxious group of losers. Fortunately, I’m proud to say, that there are cities with true baseball-loving fans that support their team through the bad times, as well as the good. Not only that, they will show some class by applauding the visiting team when they make a good play. The most classy fans, IMO, are the ones in St. Louis, Atlanta, and Chicago (Wrigley Field).

Wren was not the GM for the Tex trade. If the Braves are tanking in July then trade Tex for some young talent and look towards next year. Do the Braves practice bunting at all between games. How many times have they failed get a bunt down this year. Some of those one run games might have been different if some basic baseball plays were executed. Have to put that one on the coaching. Andruw deserves the boos in LA. He should have gotten more here. More boos should go to the GM in LA who was stupid enough to offer that contract.

what bank are you and the old guys going to? Yall going to get your IRA’s cashed in?
Smoltz is done, Glavine throws grapefruits for 5 innings.
Larry Wayne is the only all-star position player.
Hudson is lights out most of the time, problem is he gets beat 2-0 because the offense cant manufacture runs.
Look, I understand everyone wanted a trip down memory lane with Tom Glavine, and wanted to bring back the glory days of the 90s, and wanted him to retire a Brave, but there has to come a point in time where nostalgia meets reality. And the reality is, Tommy G is old. Sorry. He’s just not the pitcher he was in the 90s with Smoltz and Maddux throwing with him.

I am as frustrated as any Braves fan, but I have come to expect frustration and let down having been a Braves fan for 31 years. I have pulled for them through the REALLY bad time and the good times. I may bad mouth them occasionally when they are down, but I still love me Braves. It was great to see BC make a change in the lineup last night. Mac in the 4 hole is a questionable move, but who else do we have to put there. Would Chipper bat cleanup? I know he has in the past, but he is so good in the 3 spot… Is there really that big a difference in where you hit in the order? I understand the pressure of batting leadoff, but not really. How often does the leadoff hitter really leadoff an inning other than 1st? Unless you are getting no hit and then he gets 3 chances. We have no speed in our lineup, so put the best hitters in front of Chipper so he can bring them in. Too much coffee makes me ramble sometimes….

Why is Glavine on this team? Why was he guaranteed $8 million? All the experts thought he should have had to EARN his keep in incentives. Whatever magic he had was killed when he betrayed Atlanta and left for the bright lights of Long Island. He obviously doesn’t inspire today’s Braves. I’m glad he wants to drive his kids to school, but does that qualify him for a position in our starting rotation? I’d rather see a youngster with a live arm getting some OTJ training, and making about 5% of Glavine’s salary.

Richmond….no matter what anyone else tells you, batting order is just like size
they both matter
Larry Wayne needs to hit 3rd because thats where the best overall hitter belongs (hit for avg, hit for power). Now it matters who hits behind Chipper because if you have no one hitting behind him, pitchers will just pitch around Chipper and he wont see anything decent to hit.

when you lose that many one-run games, it shows, I think, that there’s something wrong with your approach. That there’s something wrong in how you prepare, that losing is built in to what you do. It’s not talent they’re lacking. It’s not pitching they’re lacking. It’s fundamentals. Cox needs his a* rheemed by Schuerholz or someone. Seriously, someone needs to breath down his neck a little bit, to make them start moving a runner over, make them look at some pitches, make Francouer stop pulling everything. AFter 39 games, this team is playing well below its potential—and Cox needs someone in authority instead of just a bunch of folks watching games at home, to lean on him some.

I think that there is no way we should be compared with the Phillie phans…
Most diehard Braves fans appreciate good hard play. The only time the Braves fans Boo is when we don’t see the players giving maximum effort. (That would include AJ and lately some of Cox’s bonehead moves)…
I remember a game a couple of years ago where Adam LaRoche nonchalantly fielded a grounder against the Nationals and Nick Johnson beat him to the bag. The boos there were pretty bad as well as they should be.
To see these players not giving maximum effort while making the absurd amount of money they make offends alot of fans.
All the fans want is to see the players continually try to improve, give maximum effort all of the time, and quit swinging at the outside breaking ball all of the time (are you listening Jeff?????)

This team undortuanately is what it is…Up 3-0 last night and lose another one run game. 1-11 in one run games tells us that they simply aren’t clutch or the pitching can not hold leads. i believe it is a combination of both. A rotation of Hudson, Glavine, Jurrjens, Reyes, James at al is not going to get it done and while Smoltz will shore up the bullpen even further, the bull pen has not been the real prolem for once. As hank said to the Yankees, it is time for these boys to start earning their money. Tex is not off to a good start at all and I believe he is already looking at other options down the road. It is going to be a long year this people…

I am so tired of the media sitting on their hands when it comes to the Braves. This is BS and unacceptable of these one run games, until they do the little things, the fundamentals they have little chance in meanful games,,THE POST SEASON!!! You just can’t wait until the 9th to attempt to score 1 run, or wait on the big inning. If you play like the 9th each inning and try to score one run look here after 9 you have 9 runs, not always going to happen but that is the mindset of a Champion

It matters not what the fans think or say as we have no say in the running of the team, personnel decisions or the way the players ply their skills. The only veto power we have is by not attending games, watching them on TV or not participating in these blogs.
I don’t see the latter happening, do you? All that said, the team needs some major moves made to shake up this team, get it younger and taken in a new direction. Alas, I don’t foresee any of that happening this season.

Most of you all are a bunch of morons. Dougie Atlanta fans are some of the worse fans in country. Look at every survey and you will always see Atlanta in the top 3 for the worse fans.
Field of Dreams- it isnt Glavine’s fault he isnt winning. He has had one maybe two bad games but the rest of them were good. He isnt getting no run support. You cant win if you get no run support. 8 Million is cheap for todays standards on pitching. Jeff Weaver was getting 8 million from the mariners last year with an era over 12. Everybody knew Glavine was no longer an ace. He was brought in here to be a 5 or 6 inning pitcher.
Nelson I have been against Mcdowell for a long time but the Braves are 1st in ERA. Its time to give him some credit. At least for now.
Also can we please discussing AJ. Its getting old. He sucks now. He is no longer a Brave. Lets move on.

Quite frankly I myself am growing very board with them. For three years now we have had subpar pitching and a Hampton on the DL. What do they do, go sign a old over the hill pitcher named Glavine, then the bottom falls out and again we suffer through James, JO JO, Buddy and the rest of the inconsistant pitchers who should only be a number 5.
If the braves would have spent some money and gotten a number 2 arm, and paid a little for the good relievers instead of letting them walk, we would not be in this shape. One year ok, two maybe, three is uncalled for when you have a team like the braves. Its not a wonder the vets want to sign on to other teams. They just dont want the disapointment the braves have brought through not signing pitching. Having rookies is one thing, have a pitching staff full is quite another. Especially when they have proven that they arent anything special and cant control their emotions. Its a 5 sport for sure this year and I am just not watching the downfall.
Yes I am still a fan but a fan who has better things to do then stay up and watch a total washout on the road.

Why boo players unless they aren’t trying at all. I don’t care how much you pay someone, they are still human, and if they are trying their best that’s all we can expect. I mean who in their right mind would deliberately go out night after night with the attitude of “Gee, think I’ll play really bad tonight so I can get booed, and maybe even lose my job.” If a player doesn’t care and doesn’t try, then booing can show him that his effort is unacceptable, but to boo someone for striking out, making an error, or not getting on base….well, that’s just plain stupid. It sure isn’t going to make him play better. If anything, it will make him worse. If a player just plain stinks, then the coach should be the one that takes care of the problem by benching him or letting him go, not by sending him out night after night to fail.

The lack of booing at Turner Field has nothing to do with our fans having more “class” and a lot more to do with the type of fans Turner Field caters to. It’s an amusement park that targets the family instead of the hard core fan. Scouts alley and Skyfield are perfect examples of the atmosphere at the Ted. Sure this is smart business-wise but anyone can see the lack of enthusiasm from the crowd at Braves game. Who wants to be given dirty looks from spectators when you, god forbid, razz the ump or the opposing team a little bit. Isn’t that part of the ball game experience. I’m not trying to encourage obnoxious booing here but I believe that it goes hand in hand with passionate cheering as well which just doesn’t happen at the Ted like it does at parks with fans that supposedly have no “class” like in Philly, New York, Chicago etc. Believe me, as an avid Braves fan, I despise our rivals by default but I have to call a spade a spade and passion and energy have been missing from Braves games for sometime now. I’ll take loud booing and cheering or anything that adds a little energy to the experience any day over a carnival-like atmosphere where well-mannered fans watch passively only to golf clap occasionally when the home team scores a run.

CHOP CHICK:
As you know I rarely bit*h and moan about particular circumstances where the Braves are concerned. To me its just a waste of time and counter-productive. As fans we all want the best possible product on the field. Cutting others without their ability to counter our thrusts is plain wrong. And its not adding ANYTHING to the end product-World Championships.
When you called out BC I said it would be his decision, and I still believe it is, and will be. Notice, I refrained from saying he’ll do well or not. He’ll do his best, and what else can you expect.?? He’s not going anywhere until he says he is.
Frankly, I don’t have much respect for the “fair-weather fans” who occasionally post here. Being history-minded, my mind-set is on long-term goals in most instances.
It was from a historic perspective that I lobbied long and hard on another Braves blog for the Liberty ownership to green-light Wren and the organization to sign Aaron Rowand and Johnan Santana as a short-term solution to the moves made over the winter. I truely believed with those two and the addition of Tom Glavine we would be enjoying the beginnings of a World Championship year.
Of course, the payroll would be somewhere north of 110 million. But in this climate that’s not exorbitant to secure a WC. This year does not appear to be headed in that direction. Kotsey is performing as well as Rowand in my estimation so there’s nothing wrong with Atlanta’s ability to pick good cheap talent.
It’s just that a #1 arm will cost any club 20-25 million a year. That’s just the going rate. And you cannot substitute band-aids for ability when it comes to that position.
Hudson is supurb, but Smoltz killed us by screwing up his arm/shoulder with too much work. Can’t fault his zeal, but the pressure put on the pen is tremendous, and he’s partly to blame. He dictated his work schedule this spring and bit off more than his body could deliver. His offer to help out in the pen is generous and shows his heart is on the right place. He’s simply admitting he can’t work for extended innings until his problem gets extensive rest, so he’s volunteering to do what he can.
Glavine has been fine so far, but the man can only go five effectively. I know John is thinking he can finish the end of those games and allow the Braves to start pulling out one-run W’s instead of L’s. I sure hope he’s correct.
Anyway, I’m not calling out anyone, especially you. I think you’re doing a great job here. Keep it up. And thank you for not being a Braves sycophant. You have my utmost respect for what it’s worth.

I suspect most of the ones on here who think every player should be booed every time they fail are the ones who are not at the games, but on these blogs blogging away while they call themselves watching the games on TV, getting all their knowledge and information from Ron Gant and Joe Simpson. What a joke that is. I challenge all of you to look at the MLB standings and see who has a better record than the Braves over the last 10 games. I’ll tell you, two, they’re 7-3 while the Braves and 3 other teams are at 6-4. That’s out of 30 teams. It’s a long season, there is 124 games left. If they have been able to stay close with all the injuries I believe they will make the right moves and challenge when they get some players back. As far as the one run games, maybe somebody should look back and see how many they were behind in and came back only to come up one short. I remember one they were behind 9-4 and scored 5 in the ninth to tie, gave up 3 in extra innings, came back again and scored 2 for a one run loss. Not good to lose but what you want, just don’t score the 2. I’ve been watching and rooting for this team since before they came to Atlanta, I know what bad times are.

I am glad richbrave is not GM. We’ll see how many years the Mets get out of Santana. My bet he turns into another Hampton. 25k a yr is not the going rate for smart GM’s. Talk to the Giants about their deal. You look for young arms like Oakland and then trade them or let them loose after they start demanding 20k a year. I wouldn’t give any player more than a 3 year contract, but that may not be possible under the current players deal with baseball.

SL3:
I didn’t mention that a retired lower minors scout I know told me that Santana’s arm would fall off in eighteen months or so. He still has a Minnesota connection. Have no way of knowing the truth of it, but it made me stop yelling for Johan. When the Yankees wouldn’t bite I thought I smelled a rat. Still do. So you might be right on the money. Since Santana’s a Met I sure hope so for both our sakes. Anyway I DID lobby hard for Santana on O’BRIEN’s blog until I knew better.
And that’s where people like you and I are in this mileau. Stuck in the middle without the knowledge to accurately fathom the correct answers. We’re just guessing.
But that begs the point. Three year contracts for top #1 pitching ain’t gonna’ happen again. Thats not a guess. It’s a fact. And less than 20 million isn’t either. It’s just the way it is.
I wouldn’t be a GM if you paid me and that’s possible here in Richmond for next year. All that’s necessary it to lay 8 million more or less on the table and welcome in a AA franchise with yours truly as the General in charge. Won’t happen. Don’t have enough idle cash to expose for one thing. Wouldn’t presume to know enough about baseball for another. That’s why I post up on blogs like this. Same as you do. GO BRAVES.

Hi, I’m Seong-Ho,Yoon living in Sea of Glass(Jinhae) southkorea
Today I want to talk about Crazy Bobby Cox.
Now he is giving 70% chance of starting playing LF to head-up man Gregor Blanco, and giving 30% chance of starting playing LF to consecutive years .AVG over .330 and tied with Derek Jeter only.
Today If he would change Gregor Blanco to Matt Diaz Braves could win.
He is insane. Coward for old age. Do you want to live to over 100years old? Always Red-dragon Babylonian bully coward pleasantly.
“Baseball need 9players and one spy can fail game” but, now Bobby Cox making Braves devastated. Fire him!!!
May the force of Messiah be with you
