Medlan vs Moyer Rubbermatch GNT

[anderwho2513]

A couple of underappreciated pitchers having a pretty good year so far going tonight. With the temps still in the mid-upper 90's, the ball could be flying out of the park, and that doesn't bode well for the team sending out the worst pitcher in terms of keeping the ball in the yard in MLB history. He's done nothing but prove people wrong all year.

Prediction: Braves 4-2 on a Chipper Jones 3-run HR.

Looks like I'll be fighting to get a word in edgewise once more tonight.

Rollins on second with a first pitch leadoff double. Missed going out by 2 feet.

And Victorino bunts to the pitcher and doesn't advance the runner.

Way to go, team!

Ibanez walks. Need a big fly here, big fella!

Down swinging. Raise your hand if you're at all surprised!

No one?

Valdez, Sardinha, Moyer due up. I smell failure!

 

[anderwho2513]

Hustle double for Valdez down the LF line. Let's see how they manage to strand the leadoff double this inning.

Back to back strikeouts, just as I figured.
