Grrrr another blown save last night. That's two saves against the Marlins that Wagner has blown. Let's just win the series and get out of town.

If chipper does retire, it would make a storybook ending to win it all this year, especially with Bobby already retiring.

This sounds like some crackpot SI writer trying to get pageviews by writing something controversial. Disregard it and move along.

It's never fun to lose, but it's always interesting to see a no-no play out. At least the Bravos bounced back today and pulled off a 9th inning win.

Interestingly, Hittrackeronline.com doesn't have Glaus' HR listed yet. I'm new to that site, do they usually miss some?

Consider this: Four Braves players have hit a total of seven long balls this year. Our current leader (with 3HRs) is a 20-year old who's had less than 2-weeks in the bigs. I'd say the future is bright for Heyward.

Optimistic, yes, concerned, maybe. We need series wins, and we don't get many opportunities to take the season series from these west coast teams. Last night Troy Glaus finally showed what he can do, but all those strikeouts to start the season? Sheesh. I'd take LaRoche at this point.

Glavine's return is a tough proposition. My inner child wants to jump and scream and be excited for his return. But then, I remember he's over 40 and not as durable as he used to be. We're still in the first half of the season, we're only 3.5 games out of first, why rush him.

We all know that when a player tells Bobby he's ready to return, Bobby tells him to wait one more day. This isn't abnormal.

Go Braves.

Now that Medlen has started two games what are everyone's thoughts? I was certainly hoping for more than 6k's 7BB's and a 9.72 ERA in 8.1 innings. How many attempts does he get? Knowing Bobby, I'd say he's got plenty left.

We all knew something had to happen. Bobby gave Jo-Jo plenty of opportunities but going 0-9 in your last 18 major league starts requires adjustment. Hopefully this will be what he needs.
Now onto the decision to bring up Medlen instead of Hanson. I like basing the move on the stats vs popularity. We've heard so much about Hanson, but that doesn't mean it's time to move 45 minutes south of Gwinnett. However, considering the gap that he's filling, you can't go wrong with either guy.

Go Braves!
