Chipper was voted as a reserve, making his 7th All Star game. Mac is a first yr starter for the All Star game, this is his 6th time being an All Star in his first 6 seasons in MLB. Venters and Jurrjens are making their first All Star appearance.

Congrats to our 4 Braves that made the All Star Team !!!

Congrats to them.

This could very well be Chipper's final All-Star appearance.

Starting case for All-Star Jurrjens: he’s well-rested http://blogs.ajc.com/atlanta-braves-blo ... raves_blog

Hopefully JJ gets to start.

I don't understand why they pick up setup men? What happened to the days where the top few closers would be the relievers of the team? i understand Venters has been great but it's Kimbrel that gets the saves and truly deserves to be there!

#Braves' Kimbrel learned he made All-Star team during team flight home from Philly. Landed at ATL, went to another concourse, flew to PHX

Boch: "I'm definitely leaning toward Brian Wilson closing the game."

Yeah, he is giving all his players the love.

A) 46 IP 12 ER 1 HR 18 BB 70 K 28 SV 5 BS 2.35 ERA 1.04 WHIP

B) 43 IP 15 ER 2 HR 22 BB 43 K 26 SV 4 BS 3.14 ERA 1.42 WHIP

Player B is the guy Bochy wants to close if there is a save situation for NL. (B = Wilson)

Player A has less BB's and nearly 30 more K's, his ERA is nearly 1 run lower. (A = Kimbrel)

Their IP and BS are nearly identical.

Another Gem

Bochy on Halladay starting: "This was really an easy one for me, that he would start this game."

Halladay can start, but JJ wins the CY.....Sounds fair to me. The two of them are completely different pitchers, Roy is more powerful, but he does have more complete games as well.
