In Monday night’s 4-2 loss in Los Angeles, Tim Hudson threw a pitch directly at the head of Dodgers rookie Jerry Sands in the young player’s major league debut. Needless to say, this drew a lot of boos and words from the Dodger dugout. Hudson appeared to take the blame for it after the at-bat, […]

Nate McLouth seems to have figured something out this Spring, as he his hitting .310 in 58 at bats. Everyone knock on wood with me so that he keeps this up during the season, where it actually counts! We are seeing his positive attitude and self-expectations translate to the field which is very comforting. It […]

Will Freddie Freeman live up to his hype this season? http://bit.ly/ekeJN2 # Julio Teheran is invited to Spring Training…any chance of making opening day rotation? Watch this, I think so. http://youtu.be/jBz9yIft_RQ #

After this, he was sent […]

The Braves rarely give an opening day slot in the starting lineup to a rookie without them winning it in Spring Training first. This is exactly what they are doing with rookie Freddie Freeman, who only has 24 major league at bats. Freeman and Braves rookie phenom Jason Heyward made their journey through the minors […]

When the Braves traded a few prospects to the Pittsburgh Pirates for All-Star Nate McLouth back in June of  2009, I imagine they were feeling pretty good about their new, young center fielder. Fast forward 1 year: As of June 2, 2010, McLouth had a .179 batting average as a Brave. Simply put, McLouth wasn’t […]

…and it was highway robbery. I guess Uggla, a Silver Slugger recipient this year, was only worth super-utility man Omar Infante and reliever Mike Dunn to the Florida Marlins. Infante, as we all should remember, came up big for the injury-plagued Bravos this season and was controversially named to the National League All-Star Team by […]
