Adjust it when? The Braves are trying to win every game they play. What good would it have done for them to adjust their rotation for these three games if that meant starting 3 rookies in a row against the Mets and losing all of those games? Jurrjens hurt himself Friday night and was attempting to make the start last night but couldn't go. Beachy was brought in in the event that Jurrjens couldn't go. He pitched well enough yesterday for the win, the offense didn't help him. The same thing is happening tonight.

That's what happen when you face good pitching. Minor pitched well enough for the win?

Maybe you haven't noticed, the Braves haven't scored. They have had a couple of good chances and failed to take advantage. Which is what I said. The offense didn't help.

Well if your going to say that, then Im going to say this should be a blow out right now. 12 runners have reached base.....and only 3 runs.

Great hustle by Utley, to keep Gonzo to a double.

Which would also lean towards Minor doing some pretty good damage control and overall not a bad job. Pitch count was up and 3 runs is about all they can afford to fall behind. Thanks for proving my point.

No where but if you really think pitching 2.1 innings giving up 7 hits walking 1 and 3 earned runs is good....then you sir must not know baseball.

Im pretty sure Minor is thinking fuck they got me tonight, that wasn't my best effort.

Do they have a chance to win the game? That is my point. The game very easily could have gotten out of hand. Post more score updates in the reds/brewers thread.

Top of 6. Here we go, hopefully Halladay has the control issues under control.

Might be a light bat, but the arm looks good. thats a huge double play, but the Braves get another one. 3-2 Phillies

Short home run there by Freddie Freeman. He probably shouldn't have been allowed to bat because he is a rookie.

Wow what a shot by the young Freeman...that was a blast.

5-3 now....Ibanez 2 RBI double is even bigger now.

LOL you really have issues, and I am wondering how much you really know about the game.

Huh? Do you not understand sarcasm or do you not understand when you are being made fun of for saying stupid things?

lol no, I said nothing about Werth's HR. It was a sarcastic comment because Freeman dropped some turds. I guess I will answer my own two questions. You don't understand sarcasm and you don't understand when you are being made fun of.
