7 of 17 runs for PIt were unearned... and I count 2 more that were earned bc of failure to turn double plays.
Didn't realize the defense would be this dreadful. Garcia is awful, Dansby has not been good, Phillips is awful, left field is awful, and Freeman has been awful.

Swanson needs to play. I like how he's playing now. If you want to be good the next couple of years you need him to gain experience.
We are hoping to bring up multiple rookies each year for years. You need some guys to have established themselves.
Plus everyone seems to think dansby is going to get an extension
If we play like this I'd leave Ozzie down bc Ozzie is sooo young.
Still holding strong at 96 wins. #hope
Anyone else a little confused as to why we got a three city road trip to start the year? Seems a bit odd to not play in front of a home crowd until two weeks into the season.
Calling it now... we take both in Miami to get to 3-5 headed home
I think the Braves specifically asked for it so kinks with the new park could be worked out if needed.
Ventura's Stolen Bases
I bet we'll be better in the second half like last year.
I think the offense showed great signs this weekend. The starting pitching has been good. Defense a disaster and bullpen bad. Still have faith this is a near 500 team.
this is going to be an entertaining team that everyone will want to dance with
