Love it, excited to see him. Hopefully he pitches well and stays up.
As am I. Aren't we calling up someone else for other game Saturday?Quote:

Albies on DL right now. Probably have to move PhillipsQuote:

Chip and Joe here, we are trailing 12-0 to the last place team in the division..................well other than us.................but that kid down in Mississippi had a GREAT start last night against Bugtussle. Also fans, don't forget it will be Chipper Jones bobblehead night at beautiful Suntrust Park this Friday.
I love talking about the minors. We have help coming... big time.Quote:

Not sure bout joe being the best. He doesn't bother me like chip, but he does bother me. I'm not one that goes crazy over the advanced stats, but I do think they're worth keeping up with. Joe just totally discounts them as if they're dumb.Quote:

As for supporting the team... dude, I'm a freaking fanatic. I watch every Atlanta braves' game. With my laptop, I watch live stats on Rome, fire frogs, Gwinnett, and the MBraves.
Didn't say you didn't support the braves organization. But you're constantly complaining about the coaches, etc.
Since the braves have fallen off I've spent more time watching other teams' broadcasts and joe is without a doubt one of the top, and I'd argue THE top, color analysts. He knows every aspect of the game and he calls it like he sees it. The only things he sugarcoats are his responses to chip's dumbass theories.
I actually wasn't trashing Chip and Joe, just what they are forced to talk about due to the Braves being so bad. When you see a bit of other team's crews, and I get to see a few from time to time, Chip and Joe aren't too bad. Joe is actually pretty good.Quote:

Hasn't been announced, but I'd guess TeheranQuote:
