Boxscore

One of the most intense games I’ve seen this season. As of this posting, x-rays on Prado’s finger were inconclusive and he will be re-evaluated by a doctor tomorrow.

I’m sure most of you also know that tomorrow is the trade deadline. I won’t be near a computer to post any updates or breaking news here, but I’ll be keeping an eye on the twitter feeds and retweeting anything that I think y’all might find interesting. If you aren’t following @thebravesblog yet, now’s a good time to start!

Speaking of the twitter feed, you should check it out for links to a good number of articles about things such as the results of Venters’ appeal of his suspension, Gonzalez’s health woes, and much more!

Lots of news about Roy Oswalt getting traded to the Phillies. Check out the twitter feed for a good number of articles I’ve retweeted. Also check out the feed of @FriedBasballATL. He has some excellent analysis on Jurrjens’ vs. Oswalt, and how getting Jurrjens back mid season has the same affect as a mid season trade, and in this case we got the better pitcher.

What are your feelings on the Roy Oswalt trade?

In case you didn’t hear, Nate McLouth was optioned to AAA before the game today. I’m a fan of Nate beyond what he does or doesn’t do on the field. I think he seems like a good guy to have on the team and around the clubhouse. That being said, we are in too tight of a pennant race for him to work out his issues at the major league level right now. I hope he is able to “fix” whatever is wrong quickly and that we’ll see him back up here soon.

On the same note, I personally hope that we get to see Blanco get the majority of the playing time over Cabrera. Blanco wasn’t called up to replace McLouth, but thats most likely due to the fact that he has to wait 10 days after being sent back to the minors before he can return. We should see him up in about 4 days.

You can read more about McLouth and other happenings in the articles I’ve retweeted.

Pagan in, Francoeur out

by @ 6:16 am.   Filed under baseball, baseball players

This isn’t Braves related,  but I know a lot of you are still fans of Jeff Francoeur. This is from Jason Churchill at ESPN’s Rumor Central:

At least one of us here at Rumor Central has been told by New York Mets officials that Angel Pagan is a player that will always win over a coach, manager, teammate, or even fans and media, both by the way he handles himself and his play on the field. Such has occurred with skipper Jerry Manuel, as the platoon in right field is considered history.

The numbers say it all in this case, however, as Pagan beats Jeff Francoeur in every statistical category that matters, including on-base percentage, defensive range and versatility. Despite playing his home games at Citi Field, Pagan’s performance is that of an everyday player.

Manuel hasn’t ruled out the idea of Francoeur earning more time, however, saying “Frenchy is like a relief pitcher right now trying to get back into the starting rotation.” But for now, he’s an expensive reserve, and we have to wonder if he might be a candidate to be non-tendered this winter.
