Atlanta Braves News

Here was my rationale, although not to disagree with you on the ineptness of Duvall...He is a better defender and much more versatile than Adams. Not that the Braves didn’t overpay for him in trade value. Maybe playing more consistently helps young players? He can play all four corners of the field, possibly catcher. That’s five.

Duda is my third string catcher and backup at first base, although a primary pinch-hitter.

Nice pitching the last two nights, not to take anything away from Newcomb or Folty and I hope they can string some good starts together leading into the playoffs ... but I think we caught San Fran at the right time.

I think you are right about the Giants, lack of offense in particular. Although, we will get out bats tested today with the impending FA, The Dutch Oven, twirling today. A good lefty who changes speeds, nice location and seasoned.

Snitker said Folty was so on with his 75 pitches for strikes, that he could have gone to 160. Hope he didn’t mean that literally. Isn’t that what happened to Tony Cloninger?

The biggest things i remember that Tony Cloninger did was hit two grand slam homers in a game against the Giants on July 3rd 1966 in Candlestick Park.

I think it wasn’t that game, instead like a 13 inning, 2-1 pitchers duel, where he went the distance. Never the same after that. I went to a game towards the end, when he got shelled at home.

Pitchers duel going on in the third inning. No score.

Phils play tonight. They have gone 11 straight series without winning any one of them.

1-1 in the top of the 6th on a Freeman RBI single.

 

[THWG]

Braves waste a bases loaded nobody out opportunity in top of the 7th.

 

[Buzzbomb]

Last time we were on Facebook, it wouldn’t take my credit card as collateral. Funny, everybody else takes it on a charge.

 

[THWG]

Flowers with a clutch 2 out single in the top of the 9th to make it 2-1.

 

[Buzzbomb]

Braves win 2-1. Save, Venters.
