That's actually not a terrible Braves lineup

5 good major league players in Escobar, Jones, McCann, Johnson and Francoeur. Kotsay isn’t bad either. This is anything but a cakewalk.

what is going on with Lohse's suspension?

I know that he is being suspended, and that he is appealing the suspension, but how long will the suspension be, and how likely is the suspension to go through?

Blockquoted paragraph “When you are playing for something and have a great fan base, it really makes it fun,” Lopez said. “I just feel very fortunate to be here. You can go anywhere in the country and you’re still going to see St. Louis fans.”

I really liked reading the last line.

he’s been pretty good, but doesn’t often go deep in to games.

his k/bb ratio is 3.67, which is down from what it was earlier in the year actually.
his k/9 has also gone down, its only 6.29 now.

Its a trend for this team, not only that but the bottom of the lineups for everyone we face seems to

fare pretty good against Cards pitching. Im sure it has something to do with Duncan’s philosophy for the bottom of the lineup, because every team sure seems to be on base alot against the Cards. Ive noticed it quite a bit this year.

So, Campillo

is averaging 5.2 IP and 86 pitches Per Start so far this year

right now he’s at 60 pitches thru three innings, so at this rate i’m guessing we get to the stellar braves bullpen sometime in the fifth inning.

upon further review,

he’s thrown 100 pitches in three of his last five starts

and made it into the seventh inning in four of his last five.

we’ll see if cox will push him in a close game…

his overall numbers in his starts from this year were a bit skewed, as he was transitioning from the bullpen earlier in the year, slowly working up his pitch count…

Yahoo Sports Hot or Not

is an idiot. Piniero is listed as one of the hot pitchers. Fair enough, Two wins over one week will put you up there. But they have Ludwick listed as a Not Hot Hitter, with his paltry .340 average, 9 runs and 2 HRs listed. How is he Not Hot again over the last week? Or is just a fantasy thing where the players are Hot or Not depending on fantasy drafts and teams and such?
