We can't get enough of Charlie!



1. He's so sweet. You can tell he's still not used to the major-league level of media attention, but just give him time -- he'll be fine. :)

2. Charlie, try to stay out of trouble. I don't want to hear about the Big Boys corrupting you! Just try to stay as normal as possible.

3. Very sad news about MattE. We may have seen his last game in a Braves uniform, everyone. :( :(

Charlie is so charmingly awkward in his interviews- it's really cute:)

He always looks like he needs a hug- i would like to volunteer my services...

Did you watch the video in its entirety, SCJ?

meant to comment about MattE also- heard he was having more knee trouble during his last game at richmond (last week maybe?)- that is really too bad- aside for him being a good all around guy I think the Braves have really missed him this year on the field- hope the braves bring him back but not getting my hopes up too high:(

Which brings me to this question- is it really that F'ING (sorry) HARD TO COVER THE WALL ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTOM WITH PADDING????

i didn't bother bc i'd seen it all when it came on (& Katy Temple is like nails on a chalkboard.. so one time is enough)

when i watched it earlier it just said the rest of this season. so unless you have a completely different Braves Live show than i do, i guess you're just assuming they wont keep him next year. (which may be a pretty safe assumption, it just didn't really cross my mind..)

he's arb. eligible through '11 so i guess we'll just have to see.

I have a feeling he'll be non-tendered. I don't have any basis to that speculation -- I just think the Homeboys Upstairs will be looking for a power LF in the off-season. (Someone who can play every day and be more consistent than MattE was when he was playing full-time earlier this season.)

Also, our minors are stocked with outfielders who can play left. We'll see what happens...

(Obviously, I love MattE and don't want him to go anywhere. But I don't run the team, or we'd still have DeRo and Langy and a few others!)

I bet if you wink at him he'll blush.
