2006 Braves Season

**Francoeurstein** · 04-02-2006, 10:24 PM

Hello Braves fans of BBF. This stickied thread will be about the Bravo's 2006 season. Along with stastics homeruns, hits, strikeouts etc. We will talk about who's in a big slump or who's hot. But this is for braves fans and braves fans only. Without further ado here it is!!!

**Francoeurstein** · 04-03-2006, 09:49 AM

As the Braves are competing for their 15th consecutive division title, they will play the LA Dodgers. The dodgers had a very underrated offseason, nabbing our beloved shortstop Rafeal Furcal. The matchup will be Tim Hudson will be facing Derek Lowe at 4:10 eastern time. All we can give them is are hope and good luck!!! LETS GO BRAVES!!!!

**Francoeurstein** · 04-03-2006, 02:03 PM

It's now the top of the fourth and the braves are doing fine!! LaRoche had a 3 run homer in the first to make it 4-0 it's now 4-1 and Tim Hudson is doing great.

**Atlanta Braves Freak** · 04-03-2006, 02:10 PM

ABF's midgame report: Braves are leading 4-1 with one outthe Bottom of the 4th. The Braves got 4 runs in the 1st inning (what a way to start the season!). Tim Hudson has been shaky, but he hasn't given up the lead. Lets go Braves!

**Francoeurstein** · 04-03-2006, 02:21 PM

Congrats Edgar on getting your braves debut hit!!! Maybe we should hope for a debut homerun

. And congrats Chipper for an rbi score is now 5-1. Continue the rally brav
.os!!!!

**jwkfs** · 04-03-2006, 02:23 PM

It's gone! That's the Andruw I remember from last year!

**Atlanta Braves Freak** · 04-03-2006, 02:23 PM

Braves now lead 8-1 thanks to Andruw's 3 run bomb, I'm liking the look of the season so far!!!!

**Francoeurstein** · 04-03-2006, 02:23 PM

ANDRUW!!!! congrats on your first homer and way to knock in 3 runs to start a blowout!!! ( When will they take out Lowe

? ).

Shaky, I think not. He has only give up 2 hits up until now. But now I think he is starting to get shaky.

**Francoeurstein** · 04-03-2006, 02:41 PM

AAHHHHHH!!!!!!! They're coming back!!!! Well if they keep this score they could probably use Reitsma, you gotta hold 'em Cormier!!!

**jwkfs** · 04-03-2006, 04:16 PM

Phew, that was a nail biter. I sure hope the 'pen holds up better in the future...

**Francoeurstein** · 04-03-2006, 04:58 PM

Reitsma almost blew it. I'd say if he blows 3+ in a month Bobby oughta take his butt out.

**Atlanta Braves Freak** · 04-03-2006, 06:13 PM

Braves, 11 Dodgers, 10

Nail BITER!! The Braves had a comfortable 8-1 lead in the 5th, but they couldn't hold it. Not surprisingly the bullpen had trouble holding the lead. I guess we have to get used to this as the season progresses. But, a win is a win, the Braves are 1-0!

**Atlanta Braves Freak** · 04-03-2006, 06:21 PM

One more inviting note was the production of the 2-3-4-5 hitters, Edgar Renteria, Chipper Jones, Andruw Jones, and Adam Laroche combined for 10 RBI and had 6 of the Braves 12 hits. It seems like these guys are going to be our production crew this year and we can't forget about Jeff Francouer, even though he went 0 for 5 today.

Thank you Bravos, now if you could do that just every game.... (just playing). It was a great game and an indeed nailbiter. Tomorrow will be Cy young winner John Smoltz vrs. former 2003 world series pitcher Brad Penny. I will do an inning report of each game I can, and ABF will do a mid game report every game he can, and go bravos will do an end game report. Now who's going to win tomorrow?????? I'll give a hint. Starts with a "b" and ends with an "s".

I'll try to do a mid-game report as much as I can. I'll like at the thread I created last year for the season and see what format we used.

**Francoeurstein** · 04-03-2006, 08:43 PM

Ok, I'll try to find it.

**Go Bravos!!!#1** · 04-03-2006, 09:27 PM

I'm all in guys!!! BASEBALL IS BACK!!!

**Go Bravos!!!#1** · 04-03-2006, 09:40 PM

You all might find this interesting they have named the players on the Braves minor league roster.
Just a hunch but it looks like Richmond is going to be a tough team to beat.

Good way to start a season... 112 wins to go (I'm counting the playoffs in too

**grizzly451** · 04-04-2006, 04:53 AM

A couple more showing like that from the bullpen and I'd bet Devine will be back in the majors very quickly.

Hudson sure lost it pretty quickly too, but man those guys from the bullpen...its really good to see the offense starting off hot.

A win is a win, but boy that was an ugly win (least for the bullpen).
