Let's hope the saying's true: a rising Terd lifts all bats.

[Julio3000]

That is just so good, and so bad, on so many levels.

Good to see Freddie with a day off. Hopefully our recent success with "B" lineups continues.

[O'Dandelo]

Even I'm sort of mocking myself for suggesting this, but I think Uggla should get a couple of games in the cleanup spot this week. Show him some faith in his laser eyes. He'd probably swing for the fences even more, but it feels like the thing to do.

Gattis > BJ

I could see that working. If he ever starts to hit (just a little) and keeps walking, he would be valuable near the top.

First game I'm able to watch in like two weeks.

Here's what you missed. Dan supposedly had eye surgery to prove his vision, but as assumed, he's still blowing ass....BJ, who has a history of being a good established and trustworthy Ball player (for parkva) has blown even bigger balls....and the offense has just been pretty dormant at best. Pitching has been really good though.

[Dalyn]

That worked in the early 90s, Simmons.

[jsebe10]

Another blatant blown call. Keep up the good work boys.

It was a good call. You shouldn't be able to push against someone until they come off the base.

speaking of blown calls, looked like Brantley was safe at 2nd. Nice play by Schafer, tho.

Now stop striking out.

[stpeteirish]

Our pitcher's inability to bunt still gets me. Its not that hard.

[Dalyn]

[jsebe10]

Lets hope Freddie calls Medwen out about his inability to move the runner.

[Lville21]

Is the trivia question trying to be tricky in that the answer is NBA hall of famer Michael Jordan? Francona coached him in the minors.

[parkvadawg]

Great

[JusticeForAll23]

Something is wrong with Kimbrel. Just one K in his last three saves?

[The Chosen One]

Looks like Heyward's lack of baseball love is spreading to Kimbrel.

Keeping his pitch count down. I like it. Dude is a beast
