asdfasdfasdfasdfasdf

this is why we can't have nice things

thanks TWC ...

6/28/2010 7:05:07 PM

this is so fucking retarded

i see the commercials the other night about how Strasburg is pitching versus the Braves, and unlike all the other Nats games which are on MASN...this one is on ESPN2! I can watch it!

Except not really

6/28/2010 7:06:50 PM

Washington [no]tionals

6/28/2010 7:07:28 PM

It's on Peachtree(twista) TV

You should get that in Charlotte, between ESPN2 and MLBN

6/28/2010 7:09:11 PM

the silver lining is if he's pitching a complete game i wont be tempted to watch it, so i'll be able to watch It's Always Sunny starting at 9

but still, fuck TWC

^lemme check, i know i got that station last year

NICE

ESPN3 login, no clue if the game is on there

Does Ernie Johnson normally do the games or is he just doing it cause Strasburg is pitching?

I know all the Turner stations are Atlanta based, but I haven't watched enough games on this channel recently enough to know if he is the regular commentator

6/28/2010 7:17:05 PM

he does most games i think, he did one the other night for the braves (easy since Turner is in ATL, etc)


THANK YOU PERSON

He's been doing pbp on Peachtree games since the end of the NBA season, he did one or two games in April

Such an upgrade over clownshoes Chip Caray, who still does SS and FSN games

Smoltz was doing color before Johnson came back, haven't seen him since though

[Edited on June 28, 2010 at 7:21 PM. Reason : ^ It's on ESPN3 in HIGH QUALITY]

6/28/2010 7:19:00 PM

thx for the heads up ernie

6/28/2010 7:20:05 PM

haha i forgot Peachtree doesn't have commercials

do we get to see Chief Knockahoma drive a 4-wheeler around the warning track after the 1st or anything?

6/28/2010 7:23:20 PM

I hope the Steve Avery comparison holds true...

[Edited on June 28, 2010 at 7:25 PM. Reason : Melky don't give a fuck]

6/28/2010 7:25:11 PM

so is there a good reason we're blacked out of this game? I can't even watch it on mlb.tv

6/28/2010 7:27:03 PM

You're in the Nationals market, even though you don't get MASN

lol

[Edited on June 28, 2010 at 7:28 PM. Reason : Why would you run on a hit that shallow]

seriously, i knew as soon as fatass turned the corner he was nailed

6/28/2010 7:29:33 PM

and why would you run Melky on that hit??

6/28/2010 7:29:35 PM

there are probably 20-30 MLB players that wouldve beaten that throw

Melky got to 2nd pretty quick on the double, the 3rd base coach just fucked up on the last play

[Edited on June 28, 2010 at 7:30 PM. Reason : .]

6/28/2010 7:30:03 PM

Brian Snitker credibility watch

That's at least a dozen times he's sent a runner and they've been out by 10 feet or tried to hold a runner that ended up scoring

6/28/2010 7:32:31 PM

^^he's all like "ALL I KNOW IS YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO GET THE LAST OUT AT 3RD...HOME PLATE IS FINE"

6/28/2010 7:33:23 PM

Like two weeks ago Heyward blew through the stop sign and scored easily, I think the throw was even cut off at second

They showed Snitker immediately after the play and he had his back to home plate, I don't know wtf he was even looking at

6/28/2010 7:35:26 PM

i swear it seems like whenever the braves appeal a call for a checked swing, its always the "safe" sign

6/28/2010 7:40:06 PM

Come on, Chip
Get 'em, Chip
Good rip, Chip
Atta Boy, Chip

6/28/2010 8:24:33 PM

Im going to miss Bobby

6/28/2010 8:26:03 PM

I, too, appreciate Bobby's mic

6/28/2010 8:27:09 PM

Also, the Coors Light guy has made himself heard at least half a dozen times

6/28/2010 8:28:04 PM

Gotta get something going, I don't see Hudson going past 6

6/28/2010 8:30:16 PM

Color me impressed

I look forward to the 3 times a year I'll be able to see him pitch

6/28/2010 8:44:34 PM

The kid is good, no doubt, but I just wish the media would give it some time before they start comparing him to the next Nolan Ryan. I mean he has started what 5 games? Kerry Wood was pretty damn dominate at the beginning of his career too. Let's see if he stays injury free. Of course they also said Heyward was the next Hank Aaron after one at bat

6/28/2010 9:00:32 PM

No way they can lift him after 73 pitches...

6/28/2010 9:08:29 PM

don't forget about mark prior too. i think his debut was 2 earned, 10Ks and he's out of baseball now

6/28/2010 9:10:43 PM

Prior also had a fantastic entire year back in 2003, and he should've won the Cy Young IMO

6/28/2010 9:15:32 PM

oh i know, just saying that everyone raved about his mechanics and whatnot as well, and he can't stay healthy

6/28/2010 9:20:44 PM

NICE, and the runners advanced as well. nice job hinske

and now yunel, woo woo

[Edited on June 28, 2010 at 9:24 PM. Reason : .]

6/28/2010 9:22:10 PM

The Nats really suck behind Strasburg. I'm gonna feel bad when that kid racks up 10 losses when he gets the DP ball and his team just sucks. I mean, you gotta turn that one, routine. And you have to hit the cut off man to keep them at 1st and 2nd so that right there doesn't happen.

6/28/2010 9:24:41 PM

that's one of the best plays in sports when executed properly

6/28/2010 9:29:02 PM

ha Strasburg sold 21,000 tickets

Thanks for the $ and W

6/28/2010 9:31:02 PM

How are all four of those runs earned?

I know you can't assume the double play, and I know a pitcher who takes over doesn't get the luxury of the presumed actual outs based on errors before he entered the game

But I'm not seeing why Strasburg gets all four of those as earned there

[Edited on June 28, 2010 at 9:34 PM. Reason : x]

6/28/2010 9:33:53 PM

Only three of the runs were earned, and only three (earned) were charged to Strasburg

6/28/2010 9:35:57 PM

Says 4 on the espn box score, but I guess the in progress scores are always subject to change

Regardless, if he gets that DP, Hinske's sac fly is just a flyout that ends the inning and its still 0-0

6/28/2010 9:39:30 PM

3 ER on mlb.com, fuck ESPN and their 15 second ads on gametracker

I think the assumption is that (like you said) the DP isn't a gimme and with all the baserunners after that error the runs were earned.

6/28/2010 9:44:17 PM

mccann needs to grow the beard back. he looks like ham porter from sandlot without it, especially with the mask on

6/28/2010 9:54:41 PM

w00t the mets lost

6/28/2010 10:04:52 PM

Heyward on the DL.

Was at game tonight, SS didn't look as impressive

6/29/2010 12:57:03 AM

^^ Ernie wins. He predicted the loss and more than 1 ER. I still do not understand why you cannot assume a double play on certain error like last night. It is not like Glaus would have beaten that out. Just a weird rule in baseball IMO.

If the Nats do turn that DP, then Strasburg likely would have gotten out of that inning and then who knows what could of happened so thank you Desmond for your horribly timed error.

Also saw this piece of gold today on the AJC:

Quote :

"Kenshin Kawakami is headed to the bullpen to open a spot for Jair Jurrjens, who is finally fit to pitch again for the Braves. Manager Bobby Cox announced after Monday night’s game that Jurrjens would start Wednesday’s series finale against the Nationals and that Kawakami would be the odd man out of the rotation. "

See you every 8-10 days KK. You'd better learn spanish so you can talk to Jesse Chavez while both of you rot away in the pen waiting for a chance to pitch in a blowout.

Hopefully JJ comes back strong. Also Diaz will be activated to take Heyward's place while he is on the DL.

i thought he looked impressive but the braves were putting the bat on the ball all game. Then you could literally see he was soaked through his uniform in that 7th inning. Add that to getting frustrated after 4 straight balls to chipper and you could just see him lose his confidence. Thought it was a great night out for the Bravos.


Definitely excited to have JJ back this week.
