Falconsfan567 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Kevin McAlpin @KevinMcAlpin The #Braves own the best road record in the NL at 20-14 (.588) and their 20th road win leads the Majors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falconsfan567 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 What a difference a year makes. The Braves have only had to play 3 extra inning games this season and are 3-0 in those games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falconsfan567 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 It was really cool when all the teams in the NL East were above .500 but I'm loving every second of seeing the Phillies lose. They have now lost 6 straight games to fall to 28-31 and 6 games behind the Nationals. They are an NL worst 12-19 at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, they get a nice long stretch of home games, 24 out of 36 or something are at home now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknøwn Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 This series begins the Braves first real homestand of the season up until now everything has been 6 games or fewer I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muskokas finest © Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Thanks for making the game thread Unknown. Coming off a sweep we've got to keep it going.Hey Muskokas what's the story with this Hutchison kid? Info please!Hutch is a control pitcher who's success has come from getting a few extra ticks on his fastball. Drew really owns both edges of the plate with it and is starting to show impressive velocity (94-95) late in games with the pitch. His statline includes starts against every AL East team and the Rangers, so he looks promising. He'll give up some hits, but he has the control to consistently attack hitters weaknesses.

Falconsfan567 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 BournPradoMcCannUgglaHeywardHinskeSimmonsBeachyConstanzaFreeman is available to PH if neededI know we have a much, much better defensive team when Constanza is in the lineup but Juan Francisco is just rotting away on the bench. He batted once on the road trip. Once in 5 games. The sad thing is he was just starting to get hot with the bat too and it wasn't just strikeouts and homeruns. And he's gotten 2 or 3 at-bats since Constanza been called up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falconsfan567 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 It's funny that Yunel and KJ aren't batting 1 and 2 like they were at the beginning of the season. When they were here and we had them hitting 1-2 except we had KJ 1 and Yunel 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they were here and we had them hitting 1-2 except we had KJ 1 and Yunel 2.KJ has had a bad hamstring, so dropping down a bit in the order and letting him concentrate on driving the ball should help. They think moving Yunel down will clear his mind out some. Also let's the speed move around a bit easier at 1,2 & 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
