    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.

    Ugly

    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.

    That's wishful thinking. This is clearly a 88-74 team

    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.

    I think the Braves specifically asked for it so kinks with the new park could be worked out if needed.

    You weren't sucked into actually thinking this team worth anything, were you?

    I had hoped to see a little more competence. Little evidence of that at the moment. I was thinking somewhere in the 74-78 win range this year. 78 if a lot of things went right.

    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.

    Eh. I only watched a few innings. But it has been fun. The minors have been even more fun.

    I think it's been like watching a jv baseball team. All the errors.

    The team isn't young either. Kemp, Markakis, Garcia, Phillips, catchers are all old
