Gamethread: Braves @ Nationals 7/28/2010

[Andy G.]

Hudson vs. Livan Hernandez tonight.

[Wahoo]

Ugh. I have a feeling we are gonna see another L tonight.

[-Dr. Brave-]

Ugh. I have a feeling we are gonna see another L tonight.

Why? Is it our 2-0 lead that has you discouraged?

[Lauren T.]

L is for Livan?

[luvdembravos]

Nice DP started and finished by Glaus to end a mild Nats threat in the 3rd.

[Braves N Canes]

Chipper adds to the lead driving in Prado, 3-0 Bravos.

[luvdembravos]

Chipper dinks one in LF and the Braves go up 3-0. That chases Mr. L to the shower.

[luvdembravos]

Braves 3-1 after five but Hudson keeps dodging bullets...they hit him hard in the 5th.

[Braves N Canes]

Nats get one back on a Michael Morse singe scoring Pudge. 3-1 Braves.

[Chris_Moderato]

Why? Is it our 2-0 lead that has you discouraged?

Sniffing out the L in every situation is just in Wahoo's nature.

[Braves N Canes]

Is there anybody else following on Gameday?

C'mon Tim...get through the 6th. Atta boy! He's only at 69 pitches through 6. Even if they're hitting him hard, gotta expect Timmy out for 7th.

[Braves N Canes]

Phils up 5-0 in bottom of the 7th...not sure the Dbacks have anything for them.

Talking to myself here lol...it's all good, keeps me in the game. Huddy seems to be cruising...82 pitches thru 7. Cmon boys would love to see another run on the board!

[Hobbes]

Good to see Hudson giving the bullpen a rest.

[Braves N Canes]

Michael Dunn in to face Adam Dunn...I believe no relation. Great job by Huddy tonight.

Sorry GameDay screw up...Jonny Venters in to face Adam Dunn. Atta baby! Venters gets Dunn to K on a 3-2 slider!

[Hobbes]

Let's have a nice, quiet inning Billy.

[Hobbes]

Barves win!

Good thing too, as the Philthies also won tonight.

[Braves N Canes]

Atta baby Wags! Braves win 3-1 on a great performance from Huddy.

And the Cardinals are giving the game away after getting 6 runs on Johan...I hate having the Mets think they have momentum.

Hudson has been pitching as good as or better than he ever has this season. I'm shocked given he had TJ surgery about two years ago and wasn't nearly this dominant when he came back last season. Furthermore, pitchers often recover fine from TJ surgery but to become better than ever like he has is something else. Combine his performance with Jurrjens coming back strongly so far and the Braves have a nice 1-2 punch for down the stretch.

Tim Hudson is my new bromance.....

[luvdembravos]

I'm going to the game this afternoon and really would like to see this team start hitting. It's a getaway game so I'm figuring a few regulars will be sitting. Keeping my fingers crossed that Mr. L has his sinker working today.
