Cobb Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Mark Bowman @mlbbowmanChipper has announced he will retire at the end of this season.Easily my favorite baseball player growing up. Going to be weird not having him on the team. On another note, it is only fitting that our last home series of this season is against the Mets.

Cobb Posted April 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Jurrjens has been optioned to Gwinnett.- Mark Bowman (@mlbbowman) April 24, 2012 Really the only option there. Dude really needs to get things straightened out. Fortunately, the games now don't mean much now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted May 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Going to the game tonight. Surely they won't lose nine games in a row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 David O'Brien @ajcbraves#Braves have optioned SS Tyler Pastornicky to Triple-A Gwinnett. And the Andrelton Simmons era begins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobb Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 From what I've been reading up about him, he seems to be solid defensively. Really hope the kid does end up being our shortstop for years to come. keithlaw @keithlawAtlanta calling up SS Andrelton Simmons. 80 arm, 80 glove, 60 run, contact hitter without power.

Cobb Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 "Solid" is quite the understatement.Haha, even better. Ever since I went to the Braves game on Tuesday, I've really gotten back to following the Braves and baseball in general. Been more interested in the NBA playoffs recently to be honest. I can honestly say I'm pretty excited for his debut tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted June 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Hope Brian McCann is alright. He got crossed up and took a pitch right to kneecap. Stephen Strasburg was incredible today throwing seven shutout innings, allowing only four hits and striking out nine. Braves are now 0-4 against the Nationals so far this year.

Cobb Posted June 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Braves finally beat the Nationals and snap a six-game losing streak against them. Really nice recovery for Hanson after allowing back-to-back HR's to start off the game. Off to Miami for another tough series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted June 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Tim Hudson gets a shutout as the Braves ran over the Marlins 11-0. Simmons was magnificent tonight too. Really excited to get to see him live twice next week when the Yankees come in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted June 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Great night for Randall Delgado. Craig Kimbel was filthy as usual, and the Braves have a chance of sweeping one of the hottest teams in baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Feels good to be winning again. Andrelton Simmons with another EXCELLENT game, both offensively and defensively. Should definitely see him on SportsCenter Top 10 tonight. Also, LOL at Michael Bourn tieing his career high in HR's and it's only June 2nd. Contract year!

SRV Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Not yet, I could easily just buy a ticket to any game, but I haven't tried yet. I need to wait for a good weekend series. I have been to the stadium, but not for a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted June 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Crazy game last night. Thought it was over after the "balk" in the sixth inning, turns out the best had yet to come. Glad to see Smoltz get his number retired. One of the best ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted June 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Andrelton Simmons with his first career home run today. In other news, Julio Teheran is making a spot start today for Tim Hudson. While I'm not even that excited, bad, I know, I hope he does well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted June 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Well, shit. The good Teheran with good command showed up for four innings, then the Teheran without command made an appearance in the fifth. Best part is, to get out of a bases loaded, one out jam, Fredi brings in LIVAN HERNANDEZ. Who the hell brings in Livan Hernandez to clean up a mess like that?

Cobb Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 0-9 on Monday's. I will be in attendance for the game tonight as well as the game tomorrow. Should be fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted June 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Wow, what a night. Sat 3B side, about 20 rows back from the on deck circle. SO many New York fans it wasn't even funny. Really no words to describe the game aside from frustrating. Poor Mike Minor. Pitched a hell of a game. Hope today's game turns out better. Assuming I can get out of work early, me a friend plan on trying to get to Turner Field early enough to get a Craig Kimbrel 2011 Rookie of the Year Bobblehead that they are handing out to the first 20,000 fans.

Cobb Posted June 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Damn, yesterday's game was even worse than the game on Tuesday. SO many more Yankee fans in attendance and the "Let's Go Yankees" chants were 10x louder.. I did however manage to get the Craig Kimbrel Bobblehead.

Cobb Posted June 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Atlanta Braves @BravesLivan Hernandez has been designated for assignment and Kris Medlen has been recalled from Gwinnett. Medlen will be in uniform tonight. LOL. Can't believe he just got stretched out for nothing. Also, Martin Prado is playing first base tonight against the Orioles. Love how the guy can play virtually any position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
