Taking Game 1 is key.

Wonder why this is the 2nd day in a row with no Heyward in the lineup ?

Here is why Heyward is out back to back games,

I can only image what Chipper Jones was thinking when he heard Heyward would sit.

He took a 98 mph fastball off his left foot while pinch hitting yesterday.

Braves out to an early 2-0 lead, had bases loaded with none out, Gonz lined out into a dbl play, Hinske dbl'd off at 1b, Lowe hit a ground ball to 3b, Wigginton with a throwing error to first, Freeman and Uggla score.

2-0 Braves headed to the 2nd

I had no idea.

Chipper has been vocal about him sitting for some of his past injuries.

It's home run derby for our Braves.

Nemesis21 · Post #12 » by **Nemesis21** » Tue Jul 19, 2011 1:25 am

Freddie hit a 2 run HR that landed on the moon to straight away CF. 4-0 Braves

It's 415 ft to straight away CF, Freeman hit it past the first row of Evergreen Trees behind CF wall, had to have been 450 ft at least.

As I type

E Train upper deck solo HR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5-0 Braves

Chicago had a no-no going until Rollins hit a HR.

Over/Under Lowe pitches 7 innings? I say he gets pulled after 6 no matter how good he's pitching.

Post #17 » by **HMFFL** » Tue Jul 19, 2011 2:16 am

Lowe's ERA is down to 4.19 from 4.30.

Nemesis21 · Post #18 » by **Nemesis21** » Tue Jul 19, 2011 2:20 am

RBI single for Alex in the 5th. Freeman hit into FC, Lowe scored in the 6th. 7-1 Braves in the 6th.

Nemesis21 · Post #19 » by **Nemesis21** » Tue Jul 19, 2011 2:45 am

Lowe can't get out of the 7th, 2 bloop hits and a walk for Rockies. Bases loaded, 1 out for Rockies, 7-2 Braves

6.1 IP for Lowe, has not finished 7 IP since mid May.

Nemesis21 · Post #20 » by **Nemesis21** » Tue Jul 19, 2011 2:51 am

Rockies score 3 in the 7th off a walk and 3 bloop singles, 5 bloop singles for Rockies tonight. I hate Coors Field. 7-4 Braves headed to the 8th.
