Game Thread 16: Atlanta Braves

Los Angeles Dodgers at Atlanta Braves, Apr 18, 2008 4:35 PM PDT

Contrary to previous reports, Derek Lowe will not be taking on old freind Buddy Caryle tonight, he'll be taking on someone named Jeff Bennett instead. Bennett has thrown 99 innings in his career, and in those 99 innings he's walked 39 and surrendered 16 home runs, so he doesn't qualify as a "tough righty".

Bennett seems to be doing what’s expected of him so far.

Yikes

why do you just know we’ll leave the bases loaded like that…that strike one call on loney was trash.

So frustrating.

O.A.

well now

by EdfromAZ on Apr 18, 2008 5:14 PM PDT reply actions

Still sucks

that TBS dropped Braves baseball. Not a Braves fan obviously but that is a lot of baseball that we aren’t seeing on cable anymore.

I agree

Kent and Nomar are an embarrasment defensively.

by JLS23 on Apr 18, 2008 5:24 PM PDT reply actions

If

you are going to hit and run, do it with a guy who knows how to make contact please, not with Jones batting

by EdfromAZ on Apr 18, 2008 5:41 PM PDT reply actions

Lowe should plunk Bennett

On principle.

by Andrew Shimmin on Apr 18, 2008 5:50 PM PDT reply actions

I guess that’ll work.

by Andrew Shimmin on Apr 18, 2008 5:51 PM PDT up reply actions

Did Bennett do something?

by Tango and Cash on Apr 18, 2008 6:10 PM PDT up reply actions

Drew a walk his first time up. Looked like he was going to do it again.

I like that your title has been truncated to:

*/game-thread-16-atlanta-bra

It’s like a Gold Club situation, except not.

by Andrew Shimmin on Apr 18, 2008 6:02 PM PDT reply actions

Crap.

Forgot it was a West Coast game.

by Tango and Cash on Apr 18, 2008 6:05 PM PDT reply actions

come on man

by EdfromAZ on Apr 18, 2008 6:09 PM PDT reply actions

When you live on the East Coast, you expect all Dodger games to start at 10 PM. Anything else is confusing.

by Tango and Cash on Apr 18, 2008 6:10 PM PDT up reply actions

I was talking about

Andre’s Strikeout

by EdfromAZ on Apr 18, 2008 6:10 PM PDT up reply actions

I wish you guys would all get some cool-looking avatars. I’m going to start flagging every avatar-less person as a troll until I get banned.

by Tango and Cash on Apr 18, 2008 6:12 PM PDT reply actions

For

a while I thought anyone with an avatar was a moderator or someone connected with the site, I should probably fiddle around with my SB profile more

by EdfromAZ on Apr 18, 2008 6:16 PM PDT reply actions

That’s cool-looking.

by Tango and Cash on Apr 18, 2008 6:30 PM PDT up reply actions

Well

Can we at least try to chip away at this lead off this middle relief?

O.A.

by Ollie on Apr 18, 2008 6:32 PM PDT reply actions

youve got to be kidding me

this is one of those games where the Dodgers seemingly try to screw up promising situations jeez louise

O.A.

by Ollie on Apr 18, 2008 6:34 PM PDT reply actions

The Andruw Jones Stolen Base

The balk.

(And yes, that was a fat joke, but it was a good one! And original!)

by Tango and Cash on Apr 18, 2008 6:53 PM PDT reply actions

It was, I’ll allow it.
