oh noooooo :(
Francoeur is significantly worse versus RHP. Belisle is worlds better versus RH hitters (.667 OPSA vs. RH, .935 OPSA vs. LH). Pitching to Langerhans instead means giving up the RH/RH matchup and loading them up where a BB can score the winning run. Francoeur was the better matchup regardless of how overrated he is right now.Quote:

Anyone heard different?
Junior was rounding Second going to third when it looked like he pull something. He limped to third and he immediately left the game. Looked like he was in pain.
Left limping as he went into 3rd. Nothing else made public yet.Quote:

I just saw LaRue slammed via gamecast. How far did he hit it?
LaRue to play RF?
If Jr.'s out, who is going to play in his place? We've used all our guys.
Larue is going to rf.
Gamecast says "Freel and Luis Lopez" are on the bench. Think they can hobble out there with their crutches.Quote:

As you said, Larue is generally pretty good with the bases loaded.Quote:

Thankfully it wasn't the hamstring
Junior:
'Sprained or strained' foot... Day-to-Day.
This is the most excited I've ever been about a sprained foot.
Thank you Matt.
Thenk you Burn.
No-doubter well up into the LF stands just inside the fair pole.Quote:

It was odd - but a good one nonetheless. LaRoche was lost so to pitch to him was a good move. Francoreur is smoking the ball (and the Reds pitchers) so walking him to set up a force anyone even though its righty righty, well, I liked it. And to take a chance lefty righty with Langerhauns, well, I liked that matchup better then Belisle-Francouer.Quote:

Thank you.
LaRue with the 3rd out...
Rojos win 8-3
:clap:
I'll take the guy who can catch :DQuote:

Glad we avoided the sweep.
"This one belongs to the Reds."
Thanks be to the Lord-ah... Never thought I would be so happy about a rolled ankle... Hopes its just a day off type of injury...
Braves fan here. This loss kind of hurts since we were so close to winning it in the 11th. Pitching to LaRoche was a good call. That guy is killing us. He hasn't seen the ball in about 2 months.
But I'd also like to potentially thank you guys. Shelling Kolb could end up being huge for us. Hopefully you guys have just gotten him released. I think I can speak for all Braves fans in saying that we would gladly trade a win for Dan Kolb's head on a silver platter. With any luck, everyone ends up happy today. You guys win and we get rid of Kolb who is perhaps the most despised Brave in history. At the very least you guys pretty much blew his chances of pitching in any meaningful way in the post season. So, thanks.
