Not when you give up two in two plus innings pitched.

...and Trout sends one towards South America. smh

Minor showing that last season was an accident.

he's 0-6, but the Angels think his biggest problem is lack of confidence so they've found an apparent solution, throw him vs Atl.

Minor doesn't have it tonight. Hope we can score some runs.

g'night doubt if there's another comeback in this bunch.

Game. Simmons boots a grounder.

WTH is wrong with this team. Somebody needs to be fired to shake things up.

When was the last time Minor did "have it?" Last we saw, he was giving up eight runs in four innings in Colorado. He's proving tonight that he may be able to do the same thing at sea level.

Lol watching this game with angel fans...I'm embarressed.

Ok, I"m not trying to be a dick, but Atlanta is 1000 feet above sea level.

Minor made a bad pitch to Aybar and Trout is just the best player in baseball, normally you can pitch righties there like Minor did and not get smoked, so 1 bad pitch and one great hitter.

Yeah Atlanta is the third highest stadium in elevation I believe.

Minor gives up homeruns at an alarming rate. Coming into tonight 7 HR allowed in 48 IP.

I'm a minor fan, but he looks bad tonight imo. Not a ton of movement, control isn't really there, ball isn't exploding out of his hand. I think minor will be fine and is the pitcher he was last year, but he looks like dog crap tonight.

Bottom line is Minor's pitching to a pinball ERA right now whether it's in Colorado or Atlanta. Maybe that "altitude" in Atlanta will benefit the Braves' bats...or not.

It just amazes me that Fredi keeps running the same lineup out there.
