Yardbarker: Buddy Carlyle

Campillo, Carlyle, and Nunez granted free agency

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 17:13:45 -0500

Campillo, Carlyle, and Nunez granted free agency Pitchers Jorge Campillo, Buddy Carlyle, and Vladimir Nunez were all outrighted to triple-A by the Braves, then granted free agency. I'd like to point out that I predicted all of these moves. Reid Gorecki was also outrighted to triple-A, but he is still under club control. (hat tip: sddbaker)

Braves Lose Campillo, Carlyle, Gorecki

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 17:50:32 -0500

This is the time of year when non-playoff teams clear space on their rosters in order to create flexibility for the off-season, and according to Matt Eddy of Baseball America, the Braves began that process today be outrighting relievers Jorge Campillo and Buddy Carlyle and outfielder Reid Gorecki. All three opted to become free agents instead of remaining in the organization. The 40-man roster is now down to 38 players (with Jordan Schafer being activated from the 60-day DL).Gorecki'...

Game 134 Recap: Braves 3, Marlins 8, Bobby Cox 0-good-moves

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 21:50:16 -0500

To sum up this game I'm going to ask you to manage at home. Who would you have brought in to relieve Tommy Hanson in the sixth inning? Would it be the guy who hadn't worked in five days, Buddy Carlyle? No. Would it be the well-rested rookie closer who was just called up, Luis Valdez? No. Would it be a lefty reliever who hasn't been used in over a week, Boone Logan? No. The guy Bobby Cox chose to bring in is the same guy who gave up the lead yesterday. The same guy who would be...

Open Thread 8/27: Padres at Braves (if they show up)

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 15:26:16 -0500

More photos » by Gregory Smith - AP Browse more photos » Rain is forcast from now through the end of the night, so this might be a long one (in more ways than one if we're not winning). The Braves recalled Buddy Carlyle from his rehab assignment with Gwinnett and sent Manny Acosta down. Fine with me. Let's see if Javier Vazquez can hold the Padres under one run... that seems to be the only way to win these day...

Game 118 Recap: Braves 9, Diamondbacks 4

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 19:08:07 -0500

More photos » by John Amis - AP Browse more photos » What an awesome picture of Tommy Hanson. Despite the claims and threats of rain, Mother Nature kept to herself to allow in this long-overdue makeup game with with Diamondbacks. In a way, the long delay prior to finishing out this series might not have been such a bad thing - back in May, the Diamondbacks with Scherzer on the mound stomped a mudhole in the Brave...

Atlanta Braves Minor League Recap: 8/12

Wed, 12 Aug 2009 00:31:15 -0500

Wow, so my trip was definitely 3 hours longer than it should have been. I love that. Durham 4, Gwinnett 5 R. Gorecki 4-5 2B, HR(9) B. Jones 1-5 HR(5), K B. Carlyle 2IP 0H 0R 0BB 5K Please bring up Buddy Carlyle now and send Acosta down. Brandon Jones now has 3 homers in his last 6 games after going 0fer April-May-June. He also mainted that .765 SLG he is putting up this month. Is this a fluke or is he making up for lost time? Or has he been hanging out with Manny and Big Papi? Al...

Atlanta Braves Minor League Recap: 8/8

Sat, 08 Aug 2009 23:31:03 -0500

Alright guys, don't make me stop posting about Jason Heyward. Randall Delgado threw 7 no hit innings last night and it didn't generate ANY discussion. The guy is going to be a top 5 prospect for us. Get on the bandwagon. I will also try to get a hot list up in the next day or so. There are some guys who deserve some attention in the organization. Gwinnet 9, Toledo 5 R. Gorecki 2-5 2 2B, RBI, K B. Canizares 2-6 2B, 4 RBI, CS(1) B. Jones 1-3 HR(4), 2 BB B. Barton 3-4 2B, RBI,...

Atlanta Braves Minor League Recap: 7/25 (Someone threw a No Hitter)

Sat, 25 Jul 2009 21:57:59 -0500

Lehigh Valley 8, Gwinnett 5 - 10 Innings C. Burke 1-4 2B, BB, B. Canizares 2-5 2 RBI, K B. Jones 1-2 3B, RBI, K V. Pope 1-4 HR(3), 2 RBI Both Jeff Bennett and Buddy Carlyle pitched in this game in rehabs assignments. Bennett gave up 2 runs in 1 inning of work and Carlyle tossed two scoreless innings. Maybe something is starting to click again with Brandon Jones as he has 4 of his 18 XBH in the last 10 games. The problem is he is hitting under .200 in that span. I really don'...

Ridgway Flounders, Braves Fall to Indians

Tue, 25 Mar 2008 09:22:27 -0500

Jeff Ridgway floundered in his inning of relief Monday, giving up four hits, balking in a run, making a throwing error, and surrendering six runs. On the contrary, the Indians' staff was untouchable. Jake Westbrook no-hit the Braves through six innings and the Braves ended up with just two hits in an 8-0 loss.

Behind Mark Teixeira and Brian McCann, the Braves' offense exploded in a 9 run fourth inning, bailing out pitcher Buddy Carlyle, who thought he was pitching batting practice and gave up three solo home runs. Relief pitcher Blaine Boyer even scored once and knocked in a run himself.

Sat, 01 Mar 2008 08:42:34 -0500

The Braves beat the Dodgers 10-3 yesterday. See who we thought looked good and who could use some extra hustle. Oh, and Javy Lopez isn't retired - he's just starting to hit home runs for Atlanta again.
