Who Is Getting Call Up Next?

Boy oh boy do the Atlanta Braves need a few days off. Not only is most of the rotation out with major injuries, not the batters are feeling the pain. Braves shortstop Yunel Escobar was held out of toay’s game against Milwaukee after jamming his left shoulder the previous night. He has a few nagging [...]

Cover your Eyes

Before Tuesday’s debacle against the Brewers, word got out that Jeff Francoeur had done something to help his game: my interest was piqued-extra batting practice with Chipper Jones or Terry Pendleton, I wondered? No. Watching game film, then? No, not exactly. I did some research and discovered…he inserted a new contact lens into his right [...]

Blowout Loss To Mariners Is Proof: Braves Worst Team In MLB

I wouldn’t make such a critical statement if it was another 1-run loss to the worst team in baseball, but it wasn’t that. It was a 10-2 ass whooping that left me in shock. Not the kind of surprise shock, but the shock one gets when the realization hits that the Atlanta Braves season is [...]

Braves Break Record To Solidify Level Of Suck

Twenty-two straight 1-run losses away from home. That’s your Atlanta Braves. Listen, it boggles my mind as much as yours why Bobby Cox didn’t call in the closer in the bottom of the ninth to ensure the heavy-hitting Texas Rangers did not embarrass the Braves once again, but what can we after the effect? This [...]

Mark Teixeira Really Does Suck

Can we give up on the slow start theory for Mark Teixeira this year and chalk it up as a big whoopsie when the Atlanta Braves traded half of its farm system for the clean-up hitting first baseman? After tonight’s 0-5, 4 Ks performance, I am not going to be rattled by the onslaught of [...]

Can Braves Make Move for Sindey Ponson?

In a shocking move, the Texas Rangers waived pitcher Sindey Ponson, who is vying for the comeback player of the year award. Ponson is 4-1 with a 3.88 ERA and and 25 Ks in 9 appearances, including one complete game. His Walk-Hit ratio is not that great but Ponson provides solid back up for any [...]

The C.C. Sabathia Theory

Why aren’t the Atlanta Braves interested in C.C. Sabathia? I’m sorry, but do they realize that four of the promised starters at the beginning of the year are currently on the disabled list, and one of them is gone for the year and quite possibly his career? It is safe to say that I am [...]

Crystal Ball

On March 28th, BravesNuWorld jokingly prophesized about a coming together of several worse case scenarios for the Atlanta Braves, a perfect storm of unfortunate events, a doomsday of hyperbole that couldn’t possibly come to fruition all in a single season. It was meant to be a joke. Here’s what we said, in a nutshell: “Smoltz’s [...]

Is Charlie Morton There? Ring, Ring.

I don’t think the Atlanta Braves had a choice but to call up young gun Charlie Morton to pitch his first major league game this weekend. It now appears Jair Jurrjens also is headed for the DL, as troubling as that sounds. We Braves fans can dream that Morton is the real deal, but the [...]
