It's hard to believe our offense as a bad as it is, but Wisler went eight innings, surrendered three runs and STILL lost last night. Awful. Let's steal a win tonight! We need Perez to be yuge!
Baby Harang gonna be yuge tonight. Might be a little tired flying all the way from Rochester but I'm sure he packed a good meal for the flight.

There isn't any in it, Inciarte should be leading off as Markakis has a lot experience batting second too and did well there. Here's an example, if Markakis is on first and Inciarte hits what would be an infield hit for him, he'll instead get a force out with Markakis on base. But if flip flopped in order you have both on base for Freeman.

simple case of walk then hit is the difference between 1 and 2 and 1st and 3rd.. and even with the 1st and 2nd.. you still might need two more hits to get Neck in from 2nd, all while Ender goes station to station right behind him.

It's a case of Fredi being Fredi.
Yea, that too. We could give a number of such examples.
I think there are now 8 teams that have more wins at Turner Field than the Braves this season.
Why would the game be blacked out in my area? I've never had this happen before
Hoping Williams can make this most of this opportunity (maybe his last one as a starter). I'm skeptical he can outpitch Chacin, but would love to see him catch fire.
Got away with a hanger to Hernandez, but otherwise his velocity and location both noticeably better then at the start of the season.
When he pounds the strike zone like he did that inning he usually does well. He gets into major trouble when he starts walking people and getting behind in the count.
Nice rip by Jelly. Hate that it takes 3 hits to score 1.
What do you call that thing . . . you know that thing when you have more runs than the other team? I know there's a word for it, but I just can't remember what it is.

That's what you get when your batting average and slugging percentage are the same number.
Unplug your dish box and let it reload, Dish glitch, worked for me......
a miracle sir
Errors work, too, apparently.
Dang, Aybar should have taken one for the team there. We would have scored a run, and Castro would be starting SS if he had broken his wrist.
