Smoltz Getting Lit Up

5 ER in the first...anyone else think it was odd for Cox to set up the rotation so Smoltz starts opening day after not starting a regular season game since 2001?

Nah, I'd say it was the correct decision. No use putting it off.

Smoltz looked great against Delgado the first time around, but it'll probably take him a long while to adjust to starting again.

No, did you see the spring he had? What's the difference if starts now or in game 2 or 3?

Anyway, it's the gayass Braves' announcers fault. Braves get 2 on in the top of 1st, cant score. Bottom of 1st Marlins have 2 on with 2 out and the retard says "Both teams have had a chance to score in the first but neither have been able to put up a run........yet" And what happens? The fukcing Marlins score 5 two out runs! [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Yes, you're right. The Braves announcers jinxed him. It has nothing to do with Mike Lowell's great at-bat or smoltz leaving pitches up in the zone. It's all Skip Caray's fault.

BTW. Anyone remember his first relief appearances? He got destroyed.

Quit saying you're a Braves fan, you make me ill. Go whack off looking at your Mike Lowell poster. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Eh, only a 37.80 ERA.

I'm sorry, I didn't know I had to be a [censored] retard to be a Braves fan.

I hate you, so much.

Jack of Arcades · #9 04-05-2005, 05:40 PM

Thank god.

No, I'm serious. You would think that a Braves fan would be pissed that they were down 7-0 but all you want to do is blow Lowell. I'm sure you're just a lame bandwagon fan anyway and probably couldn't name 2 players on the field right now that don't have the last name Jones.
