That hasn't topped Greg Olsen's words of wisdom yesterday. "When you're at the Orange Bowl...you know you're there!"

I think Moylan threw the same pitch five times in the same location in that AB.

He'll be checking into rehab after this.

He was starting to drift into Jeff Gordon territory with that one.

That wasn't horrific, but it was still pretty bad.

Kids...drugs are bad...

Sid Breamed!

Probably trying to keep him from go through dead arm. Wow, where did that miss?

2-1 says Marshall doesn't stay in to face a right handed hitter.

He's not? The ump is squeezing the zone pretty badly.

I'm feeling uncomfortable.

That's one way to beat the hit and run.

Multi-Cubtural!

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.

Would have been a gimme at 3B. Damn.

You can't blame him for his genetics! :D

Someone teach Fontenot how to play 2B on stilts...or at least while wearing platform shoes.

Friggin' midget.

What a play. Wow. I can't get mad at that. Holy crap!

Bob talked about people making mistakes and Geo owning up to it after everything came out, but they haven't talked about it since then.

This is fun.

Is it me, or is it always 70s night around this time of year when the Braves are in town?

Casey Coleman won Southern League Pitcher of the Week.

So the Chiefs have been on the road for the last little bit, and didn't really get to see a lot of the games on Sat / Sun, but here are my opinions on Flaherty, Burke, Lake, Archer so far: Burke has been hitting the ball hard a *lot* - saw him last year when he was here and he has truly started to grow into the power they anticipated. He has been hitting more consistently than either Lake or Flaherty, from my point of view anyway (not sure what the stats say) Flaherty started the year hitting the ball quite well, but has seemed to be flailing a bit more lately. Not sure if that's the variety of different defensive positions he's been playing, but his approach doesn't seem as sound as it did at the start of the year. Lake is my least favorite to watch of the 3. He can connect, but swings and misses a bunch - perhaps it's just learning the patience he needs, but it's not good right now. Lake has also consistently struggled defensively, which makes it tough when I know we have folks that can handle things much more effectively in that space. His arm is very good, but again, not always accurate. Just my 2 cents on the hitters currently with the Chiefs - I haven't seen Archer pitch much lately, but will again soon enough :) On each... -I really like what Burke's been doing at Peoria and he's age-appropriate, which is fantastic. However, this is his third go-round in the MWL and his BABIP is still a notch above what I'd like to see (.337), which means he might be getting a bit lucky. I like him, but I'd like to see him keep doing this at higher levels. -The only thing about Flaherty that bothers me right now is his batting average, and from what I've been seeing in terms of his BABIP, he's been unlucky. The guy's had a lower than expected LD%, but he's still hitting for good power. Plus, his ability to draw walks and not strike are promising. He reminds me of Josh Donaldson last year, who got off to a really slow start in Peoria but had good peripherals. -I'm probably higher on Lake than a lot of people (save for Ping!), but that's because he's an athletic toolsy 19 year old playing in his first full season who's showing some pop. The results now aren't that great, but I think he could make some adjustments and be an excellent prospect in a hurry.
