    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    Good recovery to keep us in this, if the offense wakes up.

    Teheran is still bringing the mental game even if he doesn't have the stuff any more.

    Scherzer just raring back and firing it...

    Must be nice to have a great pitcher to hide your sh*tty offense.

    But he played with George Brett and kept him from murdering an umpire.

    I complain about Tehran a lot but other than that 1st inning hanger to Kendrick he’s checked out decent.

    There might be some truth to Teheran being able to bounce back if he can find a little more velocity...

    Can we just trade Julio to someone on the theory that he only sucks at Suntrust?

    Encouraging start by Julion. Had a touch more velocity. More movement on the fastball. And his breaking pitches were sharp.

    Braves not challenging that is crazy. Thankfully it didn't cost us more than another pitch. Freeman tagged him out easy.

    Julio's pitched well tonight, just one bad break from Kendrick, otherwise it's 0-0.

    Camargo is listed as 0-2 with Gwinnett tonight so seems to be playing to me. I am not watching though.
