The pitching matchup looks like something you'd see on the wall at an optometrist's office.
That's a respectable MLB lineup right there. We're not that far away from contending.
I have seen sad things and then I have seen the Braves lineups.
Expecting a yuge game from Inciarte.
Beckham can play SS?
Better than Pierzynski can catch or Adonis play 3B.Quote:

Belt HR was on the 4-seamer. Coming into today, here's the 2016 slash line on Folty's 4-seamer: 365 / 393 / 731. He's throwing that pitch almost 50% of the time. Numbers are much more favorable on his 2-seamer and slider. I might suggest a change in approach.
Chip would rather face Mallex than AJ? On what planet?
Mr home run is at it early today.
Mallex is so good.
So why would Chip rather face AJ than Mallex again? Why do the announcers and beat writers give AJ so much respect for his shi!!y year?
In fairness I think it was more of a hypothetical by Chip.Quote:

Ole Gordo is gonna be flipped for something decent. Then like Kelly this year comes back on the bench next year.
Lets hope. He has looked strong since spring training. Sign him to a two year deal this off season.
