Surprised no one said anything but Joey Devine is back up in the bigs... hopefully he has a few more grand slams left in him for this 3 gamer...

5/22/2007 7:21:10 PM

yikes

i can't believe he's still in baseball at all

5/22/2007 7:55:50 PM

why? because the braves pulled him up waaaaayyyy before he was ready? because when they pulled him up he had only 2 pitches, one of which he couldn't consistently control? because instead of letting him learn in the minors how to pitch to major leaguers, they threw him into the fire and he got shelled?

i think it shows he's resilient enough to take a beating, hit the minors and make a comeback. hopefully he's successful.

5/22/2007 8:06:55 PM

you just walked the P

5/22/2007 8:14:36 PM

and redman was released today

5/22/2007 8:15:25 PM

5/22/2007 8:24:18 PM

its almost time for the Bell South, call to the bullpen

5/22/2007 8:27:17 PM

Nice SHOT Thorman

5/22/2007 8:43:04 PM

KYLE DAVIES WITH THE BOMB TO CENTER

5/22/2007 9:17:29 PM

5/22/2007 9:17:39 PM

uh...no

obviously, i'm surprised that he's still around after he gave up like 4 game winning grand slams in 4 games. yeah, all of that probably was because he was thrown into the shit too soon. but, it still happened, and i'm surprised he's even still around after that shitty introduction to the majors.

5/23/2007 3:37:15 AM

^ just a little lesson on baseball economics for you... its bad business to get rid of a first round draft pick who you spent a truck load of money getting to sign because of a couple homeruns he gave up when he shouldnt have been in the majors anyway. devine will be successful because he has dynamite stuff and he has been doing very good in AA ball in mississippi this year... 2-2 record with a 1.61 era and 10 saves.

5/23/2007 9:55:44 AM

^exactly. You don't get rid of a kid (especially if he's your first round pick) just because he doesn't do well his first time up to the majors, whether he's up too early or not. He's obviously got talent. Baseball isn't like other sports.

5/23/2007 10:39:37 AM

i was never talking about the braves getting rid of him.

what i meant by him still being around was i'm surprised that he's still a viable option for the braves and that he didn't psychologically implode after his first season in the bigs.

one thing we can all agree on is that he had some shitty luck his first time up, lol. His first game, he pitched a solid first inning, then cox kept him in and he gave up a homer in extras to lose it. Then in the playoffs he got rocked in that 18 inning game or w/e to lose it.

5/23/2007 12:09:21 PM

One thing we all can agree on is that we destroyed the Mets.


And NyM410 is a fag.

5/23/2007 12:35:37 PM

Don't insult fags like that.

5/23/2007 12:36:42 PM

A fag whose team is missing 2/5 of it's rotation, it's second best relief pitcher, 2 people from it's everyday day lineup, has a cleanup hitter that can't hit the broadside of a barn, and still up by 2 games (L column) in the division despite not beating to be able to beat the Braves...

5/23/2007 2:02:37 PM

Crying?

I have nothing to cry about. Best record in the NL, first place, and what will certainly be another NL East (not that it really matters.. a pennant and nothing less is acceptable this year) title... Plus the Mets will get the biggest acquisition of the season around the trading deadline.. Pedro Martinez.

might go to the game tonight

5/23/2007 2:14:09 PM

^^lol, don't even TALK about a cleanup hitter that can't hit the broad side of the barn right now.

And pitching problems?? Besides smoltzy and Hudson, we don't have anything in the starting rotation that you can call "reliable".

5/23/2007 3:22:20 PM

I could make a bunch of really mean comment right now, but Im gonna pull a Beltran and watch as it all goes by

5/23/2007 6:01:06 PM

I don't know why you guys are picking on NyM410. He is not a troll and knows his baseball. Just because he is a Mets fan doesn't make him a fag.

Anyway I got this from an email my dad sent today:

"I hope the Braves can beat up on the Mets again tonight and maybe Barry Bonds will break his leg or arm or something..."

WTG Prado

5/23/2007 8:13:52 PM

and they gave the error to salty....thats bullshit, salty put that ball right where it shoulda been.

then we get runners on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out and can't get a run in

5/23/2007 8:42:34 PM

^ they fixed it and gave the E to prado

5/23/2007 8:49:29 PM

I have always thought that a tipped ball caught by the catcher should be considered an out just like any other foul ball

[Edited on May 23, 2007 at 8:52 PM. Reason : d]

5/23/2007 8:50:58 PM

i guess the reason why they don't is because it isn't as obvious at times.

5/23/2007 8:59:18 PM

yeah, I guess, but the times when it is obvious...

Eh, doesn't bother me. I can give it right back too... I just got home and saw Perez threw a ton of pitches through 6... no runs, but was he wild?

5/23/2007 9:31:39 PM

not really his best stuff, but the Braves hitter cant figure him out

3 runs looks like its gonna be plenty

[Edited on May 23, 2007 at 9:39 PM. Reason : if the pen holds up]

5/23/2007 9:36:45 PM

shit, the whole braves team is doing the Beltran tonight

5/23/2007 9:44:16 PM

5/23/2007 10:26:22 PM

Braves sucked ass last night - defense looked like shit (Prado not covering the bag and Chipper letting Delgado's ball go under his glove). The home plate umpire was horribly inconsistent and I have never seen so many called third strikes (all three of Wagner's were looking).

I wish Bobby wouldn't try and play matchups so much - Prado and Woodward looked like ass trying to hit Perez/Wagner and I'd rather just let Johnson and Thorman gets some hacks against lefties. If they are ever going to be regulars, they need to learn to hit lefthanders.

Hopefully Smoltz can come back tonight and shut down the Mets.

5/24/2007 9:21:07 AM

prado popped out near the braves dugout his last two at bats. I'll chalk his game up to just a bad day last night, but.....if it continues, send his ass back down

5/24/2007 3:14:05 PM

this guy has said 'come on jeffery' about 30 times

stfu

5/24/2007 7:55:18 PM

that's bobby that is doing it

5/24/2007 7:56:59 PM

well i guess it worked

5/24/2007 7:58:03 PM

is he talking to Devine in the bullpen?

[Edited on May 24, 2007 at 8:11 PM. Reason : wasnt the dugout durr]

5/24/2007 8:11:24 PM

yeah joey was called up tuesday :\

wright strikes out with the bases loaded

5/24/2007 8:26:11 PM

wow
that was close

still not sure if it was the right call, but ill take if after those BS 100-foot high choppers

[Edited on May 24, 2007 at 8:27 PM. Reason : ]

5/24/2007 8:26:27 PM

he did NOT swing

5/24/2007 8:26:40 PM

^ maybe, maybe not but he's still OUT.

5/24/2007 8:28:04 PM

replay says he went

and to make room for devine, redman was released

praise the lord
