The game pretty much came down to one pitch in the first inning. We got three runs, and they come back and load the bases. It came down to the pitch to (Ryan) Doumit and I was able to make it and then we kept piling on. Probably not the road trip we were looking for but we salvaged one here in Pittsburgh and we get to go home.? On feeling as comfortable as early in the season: ?Yeah I did. There was never any issue. And you couldn?t have asked for a better scenario as far as we were able to score a lot of runs and every pitch wasn?t life and death. (I think) we?d lost 12 of my 14 (it was actually 10 of 13.) Good to get a victory.? On his success vs. Pirates, 10 wins in 10 starts: ?I have no idea. You can?t put your finger on it. Just like my next opponent Washington. I haven?t beat them in two years. So who knows? It?s just one of those things. I bet if you look back at it we score a … Atlanta Braves - Sport Snipe - Team News - Stats - Updates http://www.sportsnipe.com/main_sportsnews/2933176/stat-day-five-hits-risp-wednesday-matched-previous-games.html The Braves went 5-for-15 with runners in scoring position in a 9-3 win over the Pirates, after going 5-for-37 in their previous five games on this road trip. So that’s .333 with RISP on Wednesday night, .135 with RISP combined in the previous two games in Pittsburgh and three in Florida. Not surprisingly then, the Braves’ nine runs Wednesday were one less than the Braves had managed in their first five games of the 2-4 trip (10). The Braves still managed to strand 13 runners on Wednesday night to make that 55 men left on in six games on this trip. That’s an average of 9.2 men left on base each game.

Atlanta Braves - Sport Snipe - Team News - Stats - Updates http://www.sportsnipe.com/main_sportsnews/2933168/braves-9-pirates-3.html ^Atlanta @ ^ Pittsburgh @ ^ Atlanta Braves - Sport Snipe - Team News - Stats - Updates http://www.sportsnipe.com/main_sportsnews/2932041/cox-sticking-lee-at-first-base.html Pittsburgh - For those thinking a change might be coming at first base for the Braves, indications were on Wednesday, not so fast. Manager Bobby Cox had Derrek Lee in the lineup as usual, not choosing to give Troy Glaus a try. And when asked if he planned to get rookie Freddie Freeman in some this weekend with four right-handers going for the Cardinals, Cox said: "I haven't even thought about that.” Lee has hit only .228 (13-for-57) without a home run in his first 17 games with the Braves, not exactly the punch they were hoping for when they traded for him three weeks ago. He had seven RBIs in his first 10 games with the Braves but none in the first seven games of September, entering Wednesday. Lee grounded into a double play with the bases loaded to kill a key rally Tuesday night on an 0-for-4 night. But Cox points to hard hit balls like one in the fifth caught by a diving left fielder Jose Tabata. Lee was actually 9-for-28 (.321) since Aug. 30 entering Wednesday's series … Atlanta Braves - Sport Snipe - Team News - Stats - Updates http://www.sportsnipe.com/main_sportsnews/2932040/jones-absence-starting-to-show-up-for-braves.html Pittsburgh - Given the Braves' recent offensive struggles, a question is starting to bubble up. Are the Braves missing Chipper Jones? Or maybe more apt is: how badly? Since Jones went down with a season-ending knee injury in Houston on Aug. 10, the Braves had gone 14-12 through play Tuesday. Jones' replacement at third base Martin Prado, and Omar Infante, the addition to the every day lineup at second base, have combined to hit .330 (66-for-200) with six home runs and 29 RBIs in 26 games. But when the Braves go long stretches without key hits, like when they went 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position the first two games of the Pirates series, it looks like they're missing their veteran hitter. "I know at some point the question is going to be raised,” Jones said. "Certainly I like our chances better if I'm in there. You can't argue with what Omar has done in my absence and Prado has played well at third. You don't know how things would have shaped up. You would like to … Atlanta Braves - Sport Snipe - Team News - Stats - Updates http://www.sportsnipe.com/main_sportsnews/2932039/wagner-thrilled-for-hoffmans-600th-save.html Pittsburgh - The Braves' Billy Wagner was pulling hard for Trevor Hoffman to reach his record 600th career save Tuesday night and not just as a respecting observer and fellow closer. As a friend. Wagner, 38, who is fifth on the all-time list with 417 saves, struck up a friendship with Hoffman over their years together in the National League. He took him out to dinner in July when the Brewers were in Atlanta. "It's good to hear his perspective too because he makes things look so easy,” Wagner said. "When you do get the opportunity to sit and hear him, you think, 'Wow he has the same apprehensions I do.' He just makes it look a whole lot easier.” What makes Hoffman's feat so impressive, Wagner said, is that he did it with an 88 mph fastball to go with that dominant changeup. That's why Wagner said regardless of when and if the Yankees' Mariano Rivera gets to 600 saves (he's at 555 and counting), there's only one Hoffman. "Mariano is a breed apart, but Trevor, there are none of … Atlanta Braves - Sport Snipe - Team News - Stats - Updates http://www.sportsnipe.com/main_sportsnews/2932026/atlanta-braves-division-series-tickets-to-go-on-sale-tomorrow-atlantabravescom.html Atlanta Braves Division Series tickets to go on sale tomorrowAtlantaBraves.comFans can save up to $25 per seat during the NLDS or up to $115 for all playoff games when they sign up to be a Braves season ticket holder. ...and more » Atlanta Braves - Sport Snipe - Team News - Stats - Updates http://www.sportsnipe.com/main_sportsnews/2932006/what-do-you-think-about-conclusion-national-league-bleacher-report.html Kansas City StarWhat Do You Think About The Conclusion Of the The National League?Bleacher ReportThe Atlanta Braves are first in the National League East.

Atlanta Braves - Sport Snipe - Team News - Stats - Updates http://www.sportsnipe.com/main_sportsnews/2931983/club-calls-up-flamethrower-kimbrel.html The Braves may be looking at the future when they see young right-hander Craig Kimbrel, whom they called up Tuesday. Atlanta Braves - Sport Snipe - Team News - Stats - Updates http://www.sportsnipe.com/main_sportsnews/2931981/im-curious-where-do-you-think-braves-will-end-up.html Pretty straight forward and simple here. We all know how poorly the Braves have played on this road trip and our offense on the road has been non-existant (for the most part) since the All-Star Break. Fortunately for us, we have 7-game home stand coming up, followed by (what should be) an easy-ish road series in New York before the first of our two huge series against the Phillies.

So, I'm going to take an alternative approach to talking up tonight's game, since apparently going the educated and analytical route and predicting sweeps has more or less blown up in my face, and at this rate, I don't think anyone's going to want me covering any future series, regardless of if gondeee, mvhs, pac, or Ben want to take a series off.  Call me back up in 2-3 weeks when the Phillies are on deck, because I remember Brad Lidge had an epic meltdown last year during a series I covered, where Matt Diaz laid down the world's greatest bunt that resulted in an RBI, two errors, and a game-ender. Zach Duke #57 / Pitcher / Pittsburgh Pirates Height: 6-2 Weight: 205 Bats: L Throws: L Born: Apr 19, 1983 ZACH DUKE.  ZACH.  DUKE.  His name even sounds majestic.  Like a real, world beating ace of a horse, who is probably going to have a dominant performance tonight.  ZACH DUKE was born on April 19th.  I was born on April 19th.  He's also from Waco, Texas.  On his 10th birthday back in 1993, the Waco Siege ended with some raging fires that resulted in nearly 80 cumulative deaths.  What people don't realize is that the fires were started by the heat ZACH DUKE was throwing, while playing catch too close to some fields.  ZACH DUKE married a minor league emcee, two years after breaking into the big leagues.  ZACH DUKE is also a former all-star, in 2009.  But not just any all-star - an injury replacement all-star - because replacing Matt Cain with ZACH DUKE isn't a downgrade; it's an upgrade.  Charlie Manuel wasn't dumb; he knew he had to pick a Giant to represent the squad, so he picked an injured one, so he could bring in a true winner instead to replace him later. Completely ignore ZACH DUKE'S numbers.  Ignore that throughout his career, he is 24 games under a .500 winning record.  Ignore the mediocre 4.44 career ERA, and the mediocre K/9, xFIP and WHIP. And most importantly, ignore ZACH DUKE'S 2-4 record against Atlanta, with hitters hitting him at a rate of .346 and an .888 OPS in over 250 palte appearances, because that's clearly irrelevant to ZACH DUKE'S true ability.  ZACH DUKE is a winner.  ZACH DUKE is an all-star. But don't ignore ZACH DUKE'S blazing 87 mph fastball, and his knee-buckling 81 mph change.  When the ball slams the brakes like that, we're pretty much toast. Not to mention that he's a lefty pitcher, so I'm sure he's going to give Derrek Lee, and Melky Cabrera, and Alex Gonzalez some fits today. Derek Lowe #32 / "Pitcher" / Atlanta Braves Height: eight feet tall Weight: a number complimentary to eight feet tall Bats: poorly Throws: like a winner And as for Derek Lowe, let's just look back to happier times, and try to funnel these winning   thoughts to our $15 million dollar man.  Don't ever doubt the power of positive thinking.

Pittsburgh ? There it is. You click on the wild card standings and right there on top of the NL list is Atlanta. Wow. There they are. The Phillies are back on top in the NL East, and if you listen to John Kruk on Baseball Night, that is where the Phillies will stay. With the Braves trailing by only one-half game with 23 games to play, including six against the Phillies, that?s a fairly presumptuous declaration. But this much is true, if the Braves keep playing like they?ve been playing this last week, it?s going to be hard to win the wild card, much less the division. The Giants are right there, one game back. But it can?t stay this bad, can it? And the deficit is only � game.
