    Game on April 8

    Braves at Pirates game 2 of the series.

    Kemp out of lineup lol. Ender still sucks.

    Ended seems to be a slow starter.

    Nice swing by Dansby.

    We've had some rotten luck this series. Garcia smoked that ball the opposite way and it ended up a DP.

    The Braves will not be a playoff contender until they upgrade the lead off slot. Hopefully Albies is the answer.

    Nice to se Swanson turn on a 95 MPH fastball.

    Adonis hit the ball hard and suffered from bad luck again.

    Cutch looks good at the plate. I wish the Braves would have been in position to buy low on him last offseason.

    BP almost turned that DP too casually.

    It was. This is a great example of why FP% is a failure and the advanced defensive stats are the way to go. That should of been an out regardless.

    That play should have been made, no matter how it was scored.

    Braves taking advantage of Cutch's poor arm in RF already.

    Agreed. I think TURBO was simply stating that it was ruled a hit. Don't think he was making an excuse.

    Some overly harshness on Dansby here. He got doubled off on a line drive. If he had been on the bag they could have doubled off Freeman just as easily.

    As for the infield hit, it would have taken a perfect play to get the runner. When the ball hopped on him a little keeping him from fielding cleanly he had no chance. He probably makes that play most of the time but it's not an easy play.

    Which is why he should be down a level.
