It's nuts down here. Some schools started at the beginning of August. August 15th is actually LATE for Atlanta. I almost feel bad for the kids. -
Crowd wasn't huge - 30,000 - but it was pretty enthusiastic. When they got out of a tough 6th inning, the crowd exploded like they had just won the World Series. I've lived here for 12 years and yeah, it's not a great pro sports town. College football, yes. One problem is that the metro Atlanta area is full of a lot of northern transplants, so it has a lower proportion of passionate fans that a place like Milwaukee does. The population of the city itself also isn't that huge - over 170,000 fewer people than Milwaukee. The metro area is so spread out that it's a bit of a hike to get to games for a lot of people. But also, I think that the years and years of success by the Braves has made yet another trip to the playoffs sort of "ho hum." Now, if you want to see something sad, go to a Hawks game in the middle of the week. I went to the Bucks/Hawks game that was the makeup from the snow-out and there couldn't have been more than 2,000 people there. My brother and I ran into an old neighbor from Milwaukee who had seats about a dozen rows behind the basket and at halftime we just went down to sit with him. We could have sat anywhere a few rows up or a few rows back, and nobody stopped us from making ourselves comfortable. There were a ton of Packers fans at the regular season game last year, too, though overall the crowd is good.

How can he do that and pinch run for himself at the same time?Ghost runner, obviously.
-
You think RR will have Nyjer bunt himself over to third?
-
I think we can stop the Reds and Pirates scoreboard watching at this point.

Off-topic MLB side note: I just got back from the Braves/D-backs game (nice to come home to see the Brewers game on MLB Network, by the way), where I was fortunate enough to have seats 5 rows behind the Arizona dugout. Great seats and great view of the game, obviously, but what I found really fun was staring at the lineup of coaches standing at the dugout rail. Kirk Gibson, Alan Trammell and Don Baylor, plus Matt Williams right there coaching 3rd base. It was just really cool to see all those guys who I loved watching as a kid right there, close enough to say hi to. Nice lineup they would make, too. With Eric Young (1st base coach), you could go something like Young, Trammell, Gibson, Williams, Baylor.

National League MVP 2011: Braun = MVP! (reply #318)

At least it isn't Rickie Weeks above Upton. -
It seems to me (without looking back at the numbers for each game) that during this stretch of low scoring games, the Brewers have had opportunities, but just haven't been able to get that big hit with guys on base to put up a crooked number. It happens.
-
What are you talking about? Do you really think Barahas' hit was catchable?
-
The offense isn't in trouble. It's going through a lull right now. And I know they haven't scored much in the past week, but today isn't the day, against Kershaw, when it's time to "realize" there are offensive issues.
-
Because it was an 18-hopper to CF. Gomez probably would've had an inside the park HR on it.
-
Hmm. Well, this game is unraveling in a hurry. Oh well.
-
Straight filth from Loe.
-
Great play by Prince and fantastic job of blocking the plate by Lucroy. He prevented Gwynn from getting his left hand in there, making Gwynn take the long way to around.

I just hope we get to Al Oliver.

I do have the munchies, but not for those reasons. I am very anti-drug, actually. I think it's just because I'm tired. Looking back at my post, I can see how one might get that idea. Ah, the internet. Where everything lasts forever.
-
Oh dear.
-
For some reason I just stared at the old Brewers ball and glove logo. Good lord is it amazing. I mean, I've always loved it, but holy cow. It's a work of art. I don't know why I'm all of a sudden so blow away, but I am.

HOW DARE YOU
-
GAH! Why did you have to remind of those mid-late '90s uniforms?
-
Because the pitcher was wild... 1) I can buy the steal attempt. The way the pitcher was going, it looked like the catcher would have a hard time fielding and throwing. As it was, it was a ball in the dirt, but the catcher did a fantastic job digging it, getting rid of it amazingly quickly, and making a good throw. 2) Corey's swing on 3-0 deserves a face palm.
-
I really miss Jeremy Jeffress.
-
He appears to be a nice guy who works hard. I've never seen any indication that he is lazy. Slow, yes, but not lazy.I don't know if it's the same on other boards, but there's a lot of "bad play = lazy" and "slow = lazy" on BF.net.
-
Well, we did have two rallies stopped by great defensive plays...double plays for that matter. It's not like we haven't had anyone on base.
