    Ian snapped out of it and pitched brilliantly to Smith.

    But also yes, he probably should be out of the inning.

    What lesson have we learned? Don't walk the first 3 batters in an inning.

    I recognize one of the voices as John Smoltz. The other I have no clue.

    As exciting as Smoltz was to watch make pitch, he's equally unexciting to hear make comment.

    So after 3 walks he Ks a guy, gets a weak grounder, and then a broken bat pop up.

    It took 30+ pitches, but hopefully he's dialed in now and can go 5.

    Could've been worse with walking three straight to start the inning and a seeing-eye two run RBI. Smoltz called it a success if he could limit the damage to two runs and, obviously, that's exactly what he did.

    Anderson got squeezed pretty bad but he didn't help himself with those walks. Lots of non-competitive pitches. Hopefully he figured it out.

    While I agree with you and fairly or not, Smoltz gets criticized by fans of other teams (Yankees and gNats come immediately to mind) as being too much of a Braves homer. I'm sure that he's (at least subconsciously) trying to avoid that criticism.

    Dansby is completely lost at the plate and it's just painful to watch right now.

    Swanson still sucks!!!
    Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
    And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......

    And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
    The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
    Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

    I feel like, a month ago, that strike-three swing would've resulted in a line-drive to RF. Not sure where his hitting has gone.

    Smoltz hates baseball a lot for a guy who’s life is pretty much baseball
