Good day for the Braves Friday passing last year's 68-win season, now with 69-wins this season, as Suzuki had another great game with 2 HR's & 3-RBI's.



http://m.braves.mlb.com/news/article/255585878/kurt-suzuki-homers-twice-braves-beat-phillies/

Braves opened a game with six consecutive hits for the first time in 22 years

Suzuki highlighted a five-run first with a two-run shot off Ben Lively and added a seventh-inning solo shot against Yacksel Rios to record his fifth career multi-homer game and third of the season. The 33-year-old catcher has hit 14 of his 18 homers since the start of July. He had never gone deep more than 15 times during any of his previous 10 Major League seasons.

. . . Braves recorded six straight hits to open a game for the first time since they did so in an Opening Day victory over the Giants on April 26, 1995. That was the same day Chipper Jones made his first career start at third base.

Braves now have 69 wins, which exceeds last year's win total

1st - Albies singled to right, Inciarte scored.

1st - Markakis singled to center, Albies and F. Freeman scored.

They are middle of the standings during the middle of a rebuild. I predict that they will end up 2nd in the division and that is pert good for what they have done in the past two years.

They are getting real close.

Dang close!!

Remember last year, they fell completely apart after the All-Star break. Looks like the team is starting to shape up!

 

[westcobbdog]

Camargo looks like a great find, winning last nights game for us.

 

[Coenen]

Coppy got the boot yesterday for (allegedly) playing fast and loose on the international market. Early indications are that the Braves may lose picks, or even players.

The word I saw is that the infraction was related to bundling signing bonuses together to give certain players extra money over and above what is allowed by the rules controlling the international market. Apparently, several other teams have been previously caught in similar schemes. If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin', I suppose.

 

[westcobbdog]

Sitting hear watching Sox - Stros, where every pitch means something.
Braves suck again with no playoff baseball in sight.

 

[Patriot44]

You done messed up, A ARon!

He(Coppy) has been banned for life by the MLB and the braves have been limited to the Amount of money they can offer signees and they lost multiple picks. He really screwed the braves!!

Coenen was all over this. The worst part is losing the talent. The Venezuelan kid that was supposed to be the next big thing will probably jump off the ship.

Honestly, it only sounds like they lost a couple of guys that would've had a reasonable shot of making noise at the Major League level. Fans may not even really notice the "punishments" the way I see it. The Braves already have the core group of players expected make up the "rebuild" team in the pipe at the AA, or AAA level, and MLB didn't touch them.

SI.com has a fairly interesting article on the subject.

We'll just have to see.

 

[biggdogg]

Basically they won't have any shot at any top level Latin players till 2021 through the international pool. Of course they can still trade for them. They also forfeit the 3rd round pick in Junes draft because of some under the table dealing with this years 3rd round pick.

Maitan was the only highly rated prospect lost and he struggled in rookie ball.

4 years in a row of < 500 baseball = it doesn't look like they have lost much.

But hey, they got a new stadium out of the deal.
