I'm Watching it now. About time the Nats god another full time short-stop (Diaz). Although Cristian Guzman has been semi-decent the past couple games....

"No team that had 5 or more rookies with at least 100 at-bats has ever made the playoffs"

Right now I am watching Braves vs. Nationals @ TBS, and when I heard that, I was like "WOW!"

Why?

... because Braves have 6 rookies with at least 100 at-bats. 16 players have made their MLB debut with the Braves this year. No wonder why their Richmond AAA team is dead last

Who knows, this stat might still stay true at the end of the season, with that tight ass division

Do you usually watch the Braves on TBS? If so, i'm really sorry, i mean i know baseball commentation is nothing exciting or anything, but these guys are seriously putting me to sleep.

they're so dull and mundane.

That was hilarious! Yes, I do watch Braves primarily on TBS. I have to admit that today the commentators are kinda quiet, usually they are more vocal with interesting stories.

Not the best commentators of baseball for sure.

TBS is amazing compared to the guys who do FSN northwest (Seattle games). Those two fuddle duds should retire already.

Honestly, I know I'm biased but I think the YES commentators are the best these days other than Joe Morgan and the bald old guy for ESPN and Joe Buck from Fox. I hate Tim McCarver with a passion. Bob Costas was really excellent...too bad NBC lost the rights to baseball awhile ago.

I see eye to eye with that statement, as for a certain football and soccer teams I root for have let me down be4 constantly..

as for baseball anouncing, the guy who said he liked Joe Buck, why? he sucks, he's just as boring as those Braves guys.
Best TV Baseball anouncers Ive heard were Vin Scully and Bob Costas, and John Miller.
Marlins had a pretty good anouncing team when it was Joe Angel and Dave O'brian.
dont remember much color commentaters but I remember when Bob Ucker would call games with Costas, those were nice.

It was a hell of a rally by the Nationals, I was very worried when they had bases loaded in the 8th, tied 7-7. Down 7-1, they came back and tied in in the 7th. Andruw Junes the hero in the 10th with a sick home run ... WHEW

As for the commentators on TBS, I enjoy their work and have no complaints at all!

Nationals should have probably taken 3 out of 4 in that 4 game series. They outplayed the Braves: Nats had at least 10 hits in every game of the series, and their bullpen did not allow a single run until the 10th inning leadoff homerun to Andruw Jones in game 4.

Braves got lucky in this series.

I have a feeling that's going to be the nature of the story the rest of the year for the Nats.. shoulda coulda woulda.

Phenomenal bullpen doesn not make up for mediocre offense...well sometimes it doesn't
